no, you can find surgical tubing at your local hardware store. I think Home Depot only has half inch tubing, but you can find more sizes if you go to some of the smaller home owned plumbing or hardware stores. plus I'm sure you could find a tomahawk missile online if you really searched, so...

you don't have to bend that far with the X-40.
 
I have been tapping the black tab after pumping and it has been working great....but now i feel like the Bathmate is now becoming a bit more loose. Is the tapping method a 1-1 technique...meaning like u tap once to let the air go, then tap it again to reseal it? I have just been tapping without counting how many times....so im guessing thats why it might be un-snug nowadays?

At the top of the unit?
 
it doesn't matter how many times you tap it. you many get it to seal on the first tap, or you may get it to seal on the fifth tap. you CAN NOT tap it too many times, if you wanted to tap it 100 times it won't do any difference.

the nib has 3 positions.
1. fully open, no seal, air and water will go both ways. this happens when you are pumping. this is why sometimes an air bubble will form, because when the gator pushes back the seal is still in this position, but it quickly goes to position 2 on its own.
2. mid way. half seal, only water and air can get out. this happens when you let go, and the gator does its job.
3. fully closed, full seal, nothing can get in or out. this happens when you hold it down. good way to fill it up in the shower.

so when you tap it. it puts it from position 1, to, 3, then when you let go, to 2. this helps because the gator some times pushes back to fast for the seal to close by its self, thus letting in air, and not getting the full potential of the gator.

hope that helps.

This explains a lot, thanks noone! Another problem solved at MOS...
MOS is all about the answers! There is little that we are giving that we do not make better:)
 
When using the Bathmate, EVERY TIME i have huge Bubbles on the top of it (air bubbles?)..... Im guessing that this is preventing me from pumping higher? Would getting rid of those air bubbles allow me to pump further? I am constantly able to pump during my session...I find myself being able to get to 180...then i do the hardcore stretches and then i seem to drop to 175ish...but im able to pump back up to 180 (struggling). Would sucking the air out as u suggested provide an easier/more effective way to pump? I feel like the air bubbles are what allows me to get to where i am...am i wrong for assuming this?

A couple tips with air bubbles, try pumping completely underwater and see if this works out the bubbles, you can also tap n the unit at the top and see if this works them out. I know these solutions have worked for the few guys who are having this issue.
 
I tried it today....still end up with like a big bubble on the top of the Bathmate. Is it really bad to have that bubble....because i have it EVERY time i use the Bathmate. I still get a good pump (i believe) even tho i only top off at 180.....it still feels snug and when im done with the Bathmate my dick is fat as hell for hours. Maybe getting the surgical tubing is a good thing for me? I would hate to not be getting the most out of the Bathmate.
 
Look, if you are getting good results, air bubble or not, then do that. The reason why there are so many different techniques is because there is no one perfect routine. find what works best for you and do it.

A RULE OF THUMB. IF IT WORKS WELL, IT IS WELL.

DON'T FORGET.
while the numbers on the tube are a great way to measure progress, they only show an increase in length and volume. the Bathmate is better for girth. so while you may not get the same length, you may be expanding more in girth.

as for the bubble. the only thing this will do is reduce the maximum amount of pressure (maximum pressure is not required, its just what most guys want). Check the site, it says you can get more pressure with a tube full of water, than a empty tube.

Most get a great result using it in a tub. I use it in the shower, but i like to lay down or sit half the time. this allows me to lean back and point the top of the Bathmate up. try something similar, this may or may not help.

good luck

^^^ Excellent Post ^^^
 
Thanks.... Yeah ive found that playing with the black nub on the top has allow me to expand. And in regards to the air bubble, your absolutely right. Even if the air bubble is there, i still feel like im having a great session. Its not like the Bathmate is coming loose.
 
Good news! Once someone takes the time to understand and learn the Bathmate they have incredible sessions.

The black nub at the top of the Bathmate fell off/out.

Pull off the white part put it back inside? Just bite the white part and pull it off like you would a nozzle. Then place the black part where the white part was and situate the white part around the black. If your trying to say that the actual top piece broke off, I dont know then.
 
Sorry, I'm confused about what this black nib is. Is there supposed to be a black rod sticking out of the circle hole in the top of the release valve? I don't have one of those if so. The only thing on the top of my Bathmate is a clear release valve. Also, when you look at pictures of the Bathmate, such as the pictures in between each post in this thread, there is no black nib sticking out, so that confuses me even more about what it is. Hope you can explain this more, or even post a pic, because this would be really halpful. Thanks a lot.
 
I was going to post this in a separate thread but it seems related.

Up until today I was experience some pain near the base of my penis when using the Bathmate. I eventually figured out what it was, it was the skin being stretched to the point of tearing, which did occur.

After taking a couple days of to recoup, I grabbed some of the mrs jojoba oil to help with the healing process. I decided to try the Bathmate out after applying some of the jojoba oil to the base and shaft and what a HUGE difference. Very little pain, if any at all. The only discomfort now was my penis being sucked like crazy via the Bathmate.

This also seemed to help me get a better seal some how. I still got the usual rings after using the Bathmate, but the overall session felt sooooo much more productive.

Just thought I'd pass it on.
