Ribbed marks on Penis.

So I just got my Bathmate 3 days ago, and have used it twice. I mainly bought it to enhance length as I am already pretty girthy, going into this I'm already at 6.5 around. Both times I've pumped my penis is so tight against the cylinder that the little air bubbles can't pass and when I take it off I have 2 rib marks where the bottom part is imprinting pretty hard and it's kinda sore. I'm just wondering if maybe I should of started off with the X-40 or if this is ok and I should keep using the Herc? I dont wanna do any damage and i do want som girth gain too. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One more thing, the head of my penis gets purple, as soon as I take it off it goes back to normal, but is this ok and normal?

if you can actually still use the pump effectively and not sustain too much pain/damage, it should give you length gains faster than a X-40 would, since the extra size of the pump effect will have nowhere to go to but length.

6.5 sounds like X-40 territory to me.

As Red says, keep the X-40 for doing length. As you've got huge girth your penis will compact the chamber thus for the penis to expand it will have to expand length ways instead.

However for girth you should definatly be looking to get the X-40!

Cheers

Thanks for the replies. I will keep using this for the time being. The only thing that bugs me is I feel like I can't get the max pump out of it without having pain at the base. Will I still get length gains with not pumping to 100% I managed to get it to around 180 the other day but it was pretty uncomfortable and could only keep it there for about a minute before I was worried I was doing some damage. I am going to try using some lube to see if this helps with the comfort factor. I did try going in hard and this seemed to help as I am instantly at 170 this way, but also cant pump but about 2-3 times before getting discomfort. Should I continue to go in hard and go from there? I don't mind the pain as it is bearable, I just want to make sure I'm not doing any damage. Thanks again for the help!

The only damage would be skin irritation, which can be painful. I would suggest getting a X-40 if you keep becoming irritated. I think the best invention would be a removable gator that could be changed for a larger one. This would make Bathmate a perfect product.

I Boon,

I have the same problem as you. I have some dark/purple ring or rib marks at the base of my penis after hitting the Bathmate hard.

At first, I tought it was stretch marks put after an analysis, I concluded it came for the gator.

It's been 3 days now since theses marks appeared. They seem to fade away a bit everyday since but not a lot... I'm a wondering if they will stay there forever or disappear in time...

Maybe this could help, but I just finished a Bathmate session and another mark appeared after hitting a bit over 180.. I pinched it on all its length and it almost faded away on the spot... maybe this trick could help you too... who knows!

They will certainly fade away.

It is the pressure and it will leave marks. I wish they would make an expandable or interchangeable gator, that would perfect the hydropump.

So I think I'm going to start going in erect, in a week of using it flaccid my girth is right around 7" now and my penis is pressing hard against the cylinder all the way around, I think this is restricting me from growing longer as I think it's kinda stuck in there. I read that going in erect might help for length more than girth. Any truth to this or just someone's opinion? I want to thank everyone that contributes to this forum, I would be lost without you guys lol.

As I said before I'm looking for length, I'm right around 6.75" erect right now and really all I'm looking for is to get right around 7.5". When I get there I will be extremely happy. Any exercises for a newb that anyone can suggest for length? I have read a lot of the exercises but to tell you the truth it's a bit over whelming and time consuiming and I really don't have the that much time on my hands to do them with the amount of time the Bathmate is also taking up. I started doing jelqs, but that's about it. I will say that I think my biggest issue is skin, my stretched flaccid length is only like 7" and I think a lot of that gets used up with girth. Any suggestions on a couple exercises to do to help stretch the skin a bit? Thanks again for all the help. I greatly appreciate it!

If you are getting pretty good grill marks due to the gator I would caution against doing longer than 20 minutes at a time. I have been doing 20 minutes every day for over a year and never a problem except temporary lines. I did an hour this weekend and came out with a couple lines of small water blisters caused by the gator. Something to watch out for, essentially anything which causes a pinch sensation combined with pressure can result in a blister.
