TOPIC: Bathmate no suction

yeah closing it every time really does help. and even if it doesn't stick when you initially pump it down all you have to do it flip the valve closed and it works like a charm. eventually it will gain the suction you need after doing that a few times

I'm gonna try the closing of the valve trick to see if it works. The last two times I've used the BM have been successful and I haven't really tried anything new. It definitely seems to be the valve and not the plunger, so I'll see how it goes in the future. Thanks for the advice everyone.

Hi Guys,
Update on my Bathmate problem: It is getting worse and the plunger now gets so tight i can hardly pump it at all making the pump now just about totally useless.The strange part is if i put cold water in it while it is seized it works perfectly......i am baffled. I have now sent a second email to Bathmate after no reply to the first as the site i bought it from here in Australia only gives a 30 day guarantee which has passed so now i must deal with the manufacturer directly.

On a brighter note my journey into pe has been awesome so far and i am seeing results after 6 weeks even though I was rather sceptical at first. Despite my pump being faulty i think it is an awesome device and absolutely love it. I am toying with the idea of filing down the plunger to allow for whatever expansion is taking place but the fact that it just keeps getting worse has me worried that it is not just a simple fix and i don’t want to bugger up my warranty but i also don’t want to stop using it now that i am seeing permanent results..........this pe shit is just so addictive.

Hi Guys,

No reply from Bathmate so i bit the bullet and took to the 4 spines on the shaft of the plunger with a nail file only taking a bee’s dick off each one and presto it is now as good as new even in very hot water. I am stoked as i now don’t have to miss any sessions and can get on with the job of making my dick grow. So if anyone is having the same problem i did try the nail file it is a 2 minute fix and easy to do even for a numbnut like myself.

Hey Numbnut,
I'm having the same problem you were (with the suction on the bathmate).
I've read your post on how to fix it but i didn't quite understand.
Could you elaborate (or maybe do a video)?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Feldsan,
When you take apart the valve there will be the black plunger with the bit that hangs out the end of the Bathmate at one end and at the other end where the rubber washer is there are 4 raised ridges on the shaft. I just took a tiny bit off each one of the ridges with a nail file that cost 2 bucks from the chemist. Just be careful to get as close to the rubber washer while filing without actually touching it as you can. You really only need to take a tiny bit off each for it to make a difference as i was surprised mine worked perfectly after the first attempt and was expecting to have to take more off so my advice is do a little then test and take more off if needed.

I hope it works for you. By the way this will only help if you are not getting suction because the plunger is getting tight and not retracting after each pump. Also mine is a Hercules and I think the other models have a different valve system. Good luck.

Regards Numbnut

you guys are seeing permanent results just from six weeks?

Numbnut,
Thanks for the explanation.
I understood and did it.
I Took just a bee's dick off the 4 spines.
To be honest, now it doesn't work properly (but it wasn't in the first place, so... no worries).
Don't get me wrong, it does work (get good suction), but not the way it's supposed to work (and it is working better than before).
Now there isn't a bit position that allows to pump, that is, in every bit configuration/position (to the left, center or right) the pump acts as if she was closed (bit to the left or right).
Don't know if i took too much (doubt it). But i'm gonna try and take a little bit more.
But the good news is, it still able to function.
Instead of working with the bit position, i just push the hole head mechanism of the pump down and it works as if the bit was at the center. It takes some getting used to but it got me an increadible preassure/suction today.
Amazing suction and workout.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
Will get back to you when i take a little bit more off the spines, to let you know if it goes back to work as when it was new or if i'll keep doing as i'm doing.
Best regards, Feldsan.

Hi Rawla,

When i say i am seeing permanent results i mean that i am not just talking about the obvious temporary post pump gains. When i measured for the first time at 5 1/2 weeks it was the day following PE and there was a gain of 5mm erect girth and 4mm erect length. The results in my flaccid are nothing short of amazing as before i started there were times when my cock was nothing more than a pitiful pile of foreskin bundled up but now already my flaccid hangs down well below my balls all day long and even when it turtles it is much bigger than i ever remember it being at the best of times. I know a lot of it is probably due to better EQ as i now feel like i could hammer in nails with my cock it gets so hard but the flaccid gains are really something I was not expecting. The results so far have been very encouraging and i am now hooked on PE and am in for the long haul. What can I say I was sceptical but am now a believer and even if the gains were to stop right now I would still be stoked as it has improved my self esteem and given me more confidence in general. Hang in there man as this shit really works.

Regards Numbnut

yeah I definitely see the gains right after I pump but I don't feel like ive seen any permanent gains yet. I started in late Feb. and I like the temporary gains but im still waiting to see them translate into permanent ones. what is your routine, do also do stretching?

Hi Rawla,

I did an awful lot of reading on different sites before i started which I hope has helped me devise a balanced routine. My routine is 15 min warmup with rice sock, stretches in all directions 1min each(up to a total of 12 min at the moment), 100 jelqs then 60 v jelqs, 5 min Bathmate, 60 jelqs then 60 v jelqs, 6 minutes Bathmate, 60 reverse jelqs then warmdown with rice sock for 10 min. I kegal while in the Bathmate and edge for up to 40 min in the evening sometimes a couple of times. I do my routine every second day and maybe once a week or less do 2 days in a row to mix it up a bit.

When i started my stretches were only for 10 sec each but i was pulling too hard and found i get a much better stretch by using my cock like an elastic band and slowly increasing the stretch as i go rather than pulling till it has no more give. This not only lets me do longer stretches time wise becuase there is less force but also allows for a longer stretch length wise at least for me it does. I even use this strategy in the Bathmate slowly adding more pressure every minute rather than just pumping flat out from the beginning and again this works well for me. I could easily be stretching for longer and doing longer sessions in thr Bathmate but i am just very slowly increasing things as i go.

I am also taking supplements ie; men’s multi, l’arginine, protien powder, zinc, lecithin, and celery seeds. The last 3 are more for increasing cum load but even though i have found they help quite a bit nothing beats drinking lots of water and being well hydrated and also edging without cumming will help ensure a healthy load.

Good luck Rawla, i would definitely try including some stretches and jelqs into your routine but start very slowly and gradually increase them as you go. I would also suggest edging as for me after edging my cock is much fuller and heavier and i also believe the longer your cock is in an engorged state the better it is for growth. Be patient, learn to read your body and feel what works for you as there seems to be no particular routine that works for everyone as we are all different and react differently to the exercises. Hang in there man enjoy what you are doing, don't stress and the results will come.

Regards Numbnut

yeah I need to get back t stretching and jelqing. I did it for about 2 months consistently before I stopped. its just hard for me to find the time to do all of it. that's what I like about the bathmate, I can just use it after the shower and call it a day lol
