Condom pumping

I have decided to create a thread for everyone to share their experience on condom pumping.

I have done it only a few times but have liked it.

I found it was easier to spot lymph fluid when it creeps up the shaft. It is blocked beneath the base of the condom rings and you can see when it starts to swell under it.
The result was I had much less thicker skin, less expansion but a positive one.

The base of the condom acts a bit like a cockring , depending on how tight it is, so this gives added squeezing pressure, but it also means the set should end quicker.

I didn't try it at the right time, I had felt discomfort at the base a few times and it awakened it.

Cleaning is barely needed and you don't need any lube either (same benefits as waterpumping ).

If you're doing a clamping routine right before pumping putting the condom on will be easy (), otherwise for some it may be a bit of a hassle.
It is obviously more expansive than using water.

I may give it an other try to both combined together, depending onw how my base feels.


I know TAAB uses a condom when he uses his bathmate. It would be great if fellow pumpers would give condom pumping a few sessions and report back.

The report of the vast majority of people is a longer lasting flaccid plumpiness and far less edema.

I tried it today and didn't see any difference. I did 5min warm up followed by 5min in the bath mate then some jelqing. The. I put a regular sized condom on over my semi and did 15min full suction in the bath mate. Edema was the same as the last time but I had expanded so much the condom was cutting into my penis. Had a hard time getting it off actually. I have only been doing this for a month so maybe I'm not doing something right.

If you go for too long and too high an intensity you will always end up with plenty of edema.

Have a look at TAAB's thread https://www.pegym.com/forums/penis-d...info-taab.html , I think he accepts to end up with a good amount of edema, but the idea is still the same one.

I do like this method. I also go the full deal by pulling the condom over my ball sack as well. I do not get any discomfort at all at the base with full pressure. There is only a slight amount of water left in the chamber and am over 200 most days. Thanks popol5169 for starting this thread. I feel that maybe if when starting out with BathMate this could really help the guys with a more sensitive skin on the members. TAAB

I hope other pumpers/bathmaters give condom pumping a try and report back!

Today I had some time and felt like pulling the BM out. In the earlier session I used a proper fitting Magnum condom. I noticed latter in the day I did get the small pin sized red dots. The only thing that was a bit different from other times with a condom was I wasn't fully hard and there may have been some air space between my member and the Magnum. Now I had a bit of time on my hands and thought lets do a second BM session this afternoon. This time I used a condom that was way to small, but rolled it on any way. Full pump over the limit to 210 if it was on the scale, and max pump vacuum. As I look down at my monster it would appear that this may be something to consider. Normally I would have done a light pump before rolling the Magnum on in the earlier session, and I think that may be why in the past I got away with it. I pump long and hard with years in the tube, so I have put in the time. When I first started with the BM in the beginning I did get a darker member over time. That with months off did go away, but this morning it is clearly starting again. So with the above comments I think it is the looser fitting Magnum this round.
To be clear, if I am hard hard there is no way anything but the Magnum would fit. Also something that needs to be cleared up about when putting the condom all the way on and over you balls. Don't worry if once your in and pumping it rolls over to the shaft the way its supposed to be on. The base will seal and you will get more length, still without the base pinch which is common with higher vacuum or duration. TAAB

Did you notice any difference in post work out flaccid size, how long the benefits of the session lasted? With / without condom, with the smaller one /the proper one ?
Or do you use the condom simply to help prevent edema ?

I tried it and liked it but I think it is over rated. Waste of condoms.

I was getting red dots on my glans from too much pressure. To get rid of the dots I have been using condoms and not at a lot of pressure. The dots are going away and not sure if it is the condom or less pressure or both. It does feel better to go in with a condom. I am using a polyurethane condom and have used it for five sessions. It gets rinsed and washed with hand soap and then is laid out to dry. Then I put the inside out, let it dry and then roll the condom back up. Then it is ready for the next use.

Btw I use the Bathmate Extreme and a Penomet. I use the Extreme's gaiter protector on the Penomet to prevent rings at the base of my unit.

Just to update from yesterday (above last post) about the small red dots. Nothing, I mean this morning there isn't a hint of any pumping other than the size of my Shlong. TAAB

Popol, thanks for starting this thread. I have been exclusively air pumping and have used condoms on and off. I broke down and bought 100 condoms on Amazon for cheap. Seemed like a very reasonable expense, considering how long they will last.

The reason I bought condoms was that I do see less edema and less discoloration when wearing them in the tube. As I mentioned on a different thread, I use a heated rice sock around the tube during my sessions. The difference in expansion and comfort is night and day.

I plan to start with some water pumping very soon. It sounds as if the same benefits are to be had with a condom on when wet pumping.

For me, pumping is soooo addictive. Stretching and jelqing (especially jelqing) seem tedious and feel like a "chore" to do. When pumping, I get a euphoric feeling that I can't even explain. Even if there was no permanent growth benefit, I would probably still do it.

Thank you for sharing this, did you notice any difference in flaccid hang after the session? After a few minutes is it longer/fatter than when you pump? Does the increase in flaccid size lasts longer?
Personnally I don't get more expansion while I'm in the tube, but then I haven't done it enough times to have a definite answer on this.

Because I am currently using a 7x2 tube, I always pack it - just more quickly when heated. The condom helps mostly with reducing edema beneath the glans - but I still get some swelling there. I pump at higher pressures, usually. One thing I will be trying is a silicone sleeve cut out to butt up against the glans and cover the area where the donut likes to appear. Then, I plan to roll a condom over it to keep it in place in an attempt to get rid of the donut altogether.

I always have a thicker flaccid hang for about two hours after a pumping session. Length, a little, but then again, my tube is as long as I am so I feel like I've missing out on some potential benefit there. Because I pack the tube either way, I haven't noticed that the effect lasts longer with or without a condom. I have a larger tube and a silicone sleeve on order. I'll be able to give more info once I have been able to use it for a while.

All of my pumping to date has been air pumping. I plan to try the exact same prep for water pumping when the larger tube arrives.

You should definitely look into a larger and longer cylinder, it sounds like you've been packing it for a while.
Why don't you try to simply wrap ace bandage beneath the glans? What kind of pressure do you use ?

I thought I would add what I think is a good tip here if you want a bit more comfort. Some where I had posted this in another thread but it works with a condom as well. If it difficult to have lube lying around out and about use shaving cream. Even a bit on the shaft before you go in the tube will give a bit more comfort. It will be a bit harder to keep the condom over you balls if you choose to do so. After that a small amount on the out side all foamed up will give your member a better chance of sliding up the tube.
I also had a smaller condom in the back of a cabinet I found. It was way to small for my current measurements but it may be a better choice to squeeze into a tighter rubber to keep the side effects at bay. With all the maxed out pressure workouts I have done I am just stating to see a slight color change to a darker shaft. On the topic of keeping Mr. Happy happy, after all work outs whether it be manual, pumping or hanging (with hanging I treat my wrap with it) I use Gold Bond Powder. So far no skin issues that I would normally have. TAAB

PS I almost forgot. If you are having base comfort issues, try using the BathMate with the label down. Yes up side down. It may be a better fit for your body. Myself it usually is when the foam seal changes shape or wear out. It may just be more fun because I can see my dick in the tube better reaching for the tip of the BM.
