the one and only bad thing I constantly see of this thing, is that people complain that they have ordered, only to be told they are out of stock, and then when said person/people send emails to see when they WILL get back in stock, they get no response. What is with that?

I don't believe their customer service is all that great. A few weeks ago I wanted to return mine 'cause my body wasn't liking the pressure on my fat bad from pumping it down (since gotten used to it), but I eventually gave up on wanting to return it after I couldn't get a straight answer from someone, just a bunch of nonsense on how I have to fill out a repair order form, spend $30 shipping to Europe, and wait a month or two for a replacement unit. Was a week before I even got my first response from them, and has been about two weeks with no reply since I last emailed them.

Not like it's a bad pump, but I also don't understand their claims of 10 years of research and designing for this thing. IMO, good product, lousy company.

do you guys get fluid build up from using BM?

I get fluid build just below the glans and sometimes even on the tip of my glans =S

It subsidizes after X amount of hours but is this normal?

I got fluid build up once ( i think - so much PE it's all a blur now hehehe)... but (if I recall correctly) it was after an intense BM session where I immediately got out and put an extender on. After a bm session (especially an intense one,) your little friend will be enlarged/engorged with blood - so putting the extender (i use a vac attachment) on immediately after was probably foolish of me.
I was kinda pushing my limits that day ..

Been using it for little over a month, so no gains yet. Temp gains, maybe a few hours. Never timed it. I'm only using it to compliment manual exercises.

Using the BM to compliment manual exercises definitely seems like a good way to go to me. lots of people combine BM with Jelqing - which makes a lot of sense to me.

Yup. The hot water with the Bathmate after jelqing also works as a warm down. No need to fuss with the rice sock twice.

I use my bathmate as a part of my training, but i wonder: whcich comes first: the exercises or the bathmate?

I don't remember who it was that replied to my email; I've since cleared out my email. I was trying to return it for the money back guarantee because I don't find it too comfortable, and there's some pretty simple modifications that could be done to fix that; though if they've already been thought of, I understand why the change hasn't been made. Would more than likely not be cost effective to retool machines and have new molds made.

My main problem with the CS, other than the lack of replies and long periods of time between the two replies I got, I still haven't gotten proper instructions on how to return the BM for the guarantee. Maybe it was just lack of info by the CS rep who emailed me, maybe I got the wrong form emailed to me, or a misunderstanding of my original email. Or maybe http://www.bathmate.co.uk/ReturnFormOpt.pdf should be edited to have options for both warranty repair AND the 60 day money back guarantee return, because if that is the proper form for both, it is quite confusing when you have a customer wanting to return the item, but is sent a form for warranty repair.

I'm still debating on if I want to keep it or not. It seems sort of not worth the hassle to try and return it.

You can always try and sell it here. Many guys "auction" things off on the forums all the time.

Is there any research behind what age you can safely implement a bathmate into a routine?
EDIT:remember hearing somewhere that 20 is the earliest you should use a pump of any kind????

is it true that you have to sign for it when it arrives?

[DemOne Banned Find all posts View Profile Close DemOne]

Depends on if you bought it from an outside vendor that requires a signature. Mine was left on my door step in an Amazon box. Even if you gotta sign for it, no one will be able to tell anything other than you bought something from Amazon.com.

Airports!

Anyone ever have any trouble getting it through airports?

[Scucca Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Scucca]

Oh I don't mind telling them what it is or anything like that.
I'd just be wary about them taking it off me and then I'd not get to do my exercises. :P

[DemOne Banned Find all posts View Profile Close DemOne]

What reason would they have to take it off of you, unless they're going to come up with some crazy theory about how you can hijack the plane with a penis pump.

No harm in asking! Who knows with how tight security has gotten these days.
They might be afraid I'll take the plane down after I do a session and unleash my girth in the cabin!
OOOOOH YEAH!

By the way, its a good tool. Been using mine about 2 weeks now and it feels good.
I've been combining it with JPs 90 day work out and its early days yet to say anything as far as permanent results but its certainly a little bit thicker and veins are a lot more pronounced!
The only problem is sometimes some of my ballsack gets sucked in and that can hurt sometimes.
But thats only the odd time so I can deal with that.
