Bathmate Problems

[troilus72 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close troilus72]

Guys I'm having real problems with my Bathmate and I'm becoming pretty discouraged. I started with the Hercules, and I found after a couple of uses the one way valve at the end was letting air in after I pumped, I sent it back and got a replacement, Then after a few uses on the replacement the 2nd pump had the same problem, the one way valve at the very end wasn't one way!
So they company suggested a bigger stronger pump so I got the x30. I now have two problems with the x30, either my penis bends inside the pump, which is painful or it wont seal against my groin. I just can't get into a rhythm or get any long term use. Any suggestions or anyone else suffered the same problems? Love some advise

No that's not normal. The cylinder itself might be the problem if multiple valves aren't resolving the problem. Check to see if you can turn it in for an exchange with the site you got it from.

Are you going into the pump erect? I found this helps with most issues!

You can go into the pump flaccid and pump yourself to erection. This shouldn't be a problem is the pump is working properly.

If you're penis bends put some lube on it I had a similar problem and corrected it with small very small amounts of lube

Hi guys thanks for all your help, I made some changes based on what you some of you suggested and its really helped, so here are some tips from me that I discovered, that will hopefully help any newbies having the same problems.


1 - Shave your pubic hair off, I just trimmed it really short, but when I shaved this made a huge difference.
2 - I don't have a bath, but I found that using the BM in the shower with the water running directly over the seal and my groin, greatly reduced air leaks.
3 - When I was pumping I would leave the pip open, just assuming the vacuum was enough, closing the pip after every pump also made a big difference.
4 - A great tip I got was "only pump our water/increase pressure at intervals, when I lose seal it's because I try to pump out water in multiple pumps. So - pump out some water....wait 30 seconds, repeat." This is a great tip because I was pumping, pumping, pumping until I couldn't get any more air out, by waiting 30 seconds between pumps, its made a big difference to the seal.
5 - I also found that I don't bend inside the BM, if I'm hard or semi hard beforehand. When my dick was flaccid, it just bent to much, so now a quick perv at some porn and then straight into the shower.


Hope this helps any other newbies struggling with the BM.


Some further questions, how long have you been using the BM and what improvements have you seen in that time?
Also how long to you abstain from an orgasm after a BM session
Thanks in advance

Good advice! I recently purchased the hydromax x40 about a week ago and at the start i was having some issues getting a good seal and if flaccid getting caught on the sides. I also found a semi to help a lot. I haven't tried a full erection as from reading up it seemed like a bad idea to start being it's apparently too intense. I've been doing my workout in the bath but I'd like to switch up to the shower as it's not as time consuming

Use lube and trim or shave pubes to get a really good seal.
