To Bathmate or Not to Bathmate

Hi All. I am almost done with the JP90 (week and a half to go) and looking at how to resume after a full week off. My goal is additional girth (perhaps 1/2 inch) with a little length ( 1/4 - 1/2 inch). I have read both very positive reviews but also some very cautious (including warnings against) posts both here and on other forums. While the above stated goals would be very nice to achieve given my current and future situation they are certainly not worth taking any risk for whatsoever. I have done some research and have learned to start slowly and to build slowly over time - with respect to both pumping time and pressure. Also, to include jelqing between sets etc.
With that said, would experienced users of Bathmate provide some feedback if it is worthwhile, benefits, risks, etc. Some detail would be very helpful, rather than a simple go for it, or stay away.
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.

Benefits, I do feel it gives you girth over time

Risks: Uneven expansion (be careful the way you masturbate as your penis is malleable, be careful how you enter the tube to ensure pressure is even both sides, if you notice uneven expansion back off the pressure and maybe do some supplemental stretching and jelqing on your bad side)
Discolouration (can be limited with firegoat rolls, and at the end of the day, who doesn't want a bbc lol)
Psychological effects- your penis can get a lot bigger, and when this expansion goes by the next day it can feel discouraging seeing your "size" disappear. Pumping can become addictive as a result.

I have a darker penis now, and a slight curve from uneven expansion, but I think I have gained some girth.

Well, how about an outside the box approach. Or in this case, outside the tube.

Has the JP90 worked well for you? If so, do you need to change anything?

The beginner routines are great to get started with, but that doesn't mean they are only for beginners. Many experienced PE'ers still use them well after conditioning, and even beyond as modified versions of the same.

I agree with statements I've read saying to exhaust all possible gains from a manual routine before moving on, especially to something that isn't free.

Pumps and other devices are great, don't get me wrong. But why change up when you just got really into your manuals? Go with what works, until it doesn't anymore.

Thank you guys. I plan on finishing out the 90 days and then taking the week off. When I return it will likely be to another round of JP90 and perhaps interspersing the Bathmate a bit to see how that works for me. I have had success so far with JP90 but want to see a bit more. Not willing to jeopardize anything so will take it nice and easy.
Anyone else have any experience or suggestions.

The bathmate has worked great on my penis but hell on my back. If you have any lower back issues(L3-L5/S1)stay away.
