What are your routines for using the Bathmate?

[SIGMA_1234]

Hey all, calling all Bathmate users in the forum.

I now have a bathmate for quite a fraction of the price (thanks again @eric-drifter) where I couldn't pass it up. I got the HydroXtreme 5.

So far, my routine for using this is sets of 3 minutes pump, then 2 minutes rest, twice. I plan to increase this slowly to 15 minutes. I read the manual, and they recommend I keep going my way for 5 sets to reach the 15 min. mark, but I read @KillYourInnerLoser does 15 mins. straight. Was wondering what the routines of other people are.

GLL’s beginner routine is a good place to start. Should keep you busy for a long time.

I tend to keep it on non-stop for whatever number of minutes you planned. So if 7 then keep it on for 7 and so on.

I find it’s best to do it in the bath if that is possible. For me at least, far easier to get it on properly and progress to full power without having to reset it due to your ball strings getting sucked in.

Hope it helps

@Thebastard you're talking about this, right?

6-8 minutes stretching
6-8 minutes jelqing
6+ minutes Bathmate while increasing the pressure

I never do just Bathmate, unless I want to pump before a girl cums home.

I do 15 minutes straight at max pressure, I don't build up to it or anything over the course of a session.
I'm sure it would be more optimal to do it in a bathtub but I don't have one in my apartment so I just sit down in the shower and listen to a podcast while letting a small stream of water keeping washing over my body.
I also do my kegels while pumping my dick using an app that just dings when I'm supposed to tense the muscles and then relax them.
It's a very meditative kind of atmosphere for me and I legit look forward to doing it by now.
It also helps me stay clean-shaven because even with 4 days of growth I start getting a bad seal, a bunch of air constantly getting in the pump etc which annoys me a lot so I just manscape twice a week, usually before my bathmate sessions.
I aim to do this 5 times per week, usually after a shower.

I don't stretch or jelq because for the time being I would rather stick to a strict nofap regimen and I found that jelqing and stretching made me jerk off way too often, even without any porn.
For the stretching I just bought the Phallosan Forte and wear it overnight when I'm not sleeping with a girl that doesn't already know about it.
I aim for 5 nights per week.
2-3 mornings per week I also use the Phallosan+ (it's a SizeGenetics style rod extender attachment for the Phallosan) for 2-3 hours. I aim to bring this up to 4-5.

That's my routine.
Just make sure you build up to it.
I definitely overdid it in the beginning and had to painfully learn my limits quite a few times after experiencing what GLL describes as dick fatigue where I couldn't reliably get full erections (sometimes at rather embarassing times).
Nowadays I don't get any red or purple spots on my dick either even though I do 15' at damn near max pressure (used to get tons all over my dick and was afraid that girls might think it's an STD so I always made sure to bathmate many hours before having sex!)

I get too much fluid retention

Is that bad?

[Phoenix Arise]

No, I just don't like the way it looks. It's not harmful

True, I get a lot of fluid retention too and my foreskin can remain inflated for a few hours even.
It certainly looks unaesthetic, almost like your foreskin has been unnaturally stretched and one time when it still hadn't gone away after 5 whole hours and the foreskin was still too inflated for me to actually roll it back and cover my cockhead I actually thought I had broken my dick or something.
But no, it always goes back to normal and it still works fine (more than fine in fact, it's true that you have better erection quality with a regular bathmate practice as long as you don't overdo it).

I'm still too lazy to actually go through the process of fiddling with multiple timers on my phone while I'm in the shower and having to find a good seal again and blabla so I just do one session.

Thanks for sharing your routines. I have never done it consistently - and maybe that is why I maybe therefore ginas have only been permanent for a short time.
What have you guys experienced regarding gains after doint bathmate for a longer period, and have you experienced trouble afterwards doing sex?
