TOPIC: Newbie Sli, Under Pressure - contains NSFW pics.

Hey there,

Have been considering the bathmate for a few months and finally bit the bullet and picked one up. I went with the X30, my BPEL is 6.5" (EL is 6") and EG is 5.5" I am a bit older than most of you here I would think @ 47 but young at heart My wife knows about the X30 and is supportive. I'd like to see some permanent gains in the neighbourhood of EL@ 6.5-6.75", and EG at 6"

I've been using the X30 for about a week now, easing into it. For any newbs, I would suggest that the unit is pretty straight forward to use. Make sure your pubes are trimmed, you are relaxed and your balls are hanging and in the case of the X30, ditch the comfort pad/sleeve. The minute I ditched the pad/sleeve I was getting better more consistent pressure. I've used the X30 in the shower and in the bath, for me it's easier to use in the bath, but I don't have many issues using it in the shower other than some occasional pressure loss and balls creeping in (and that wasn't frequent).

I am basically listening to my own body and moving at my own pace and avoiding going too fast. I wanted to post this so I can refer back to it as I use the Hyrdromax.

You're getting pretty good expansion, dude. I'm another oldster on the board, 43. Welcome to the club, bud and keep us updated on your progress.

Thanks man, I'll measure every month or so. Got a lot of good advice on here, it's a great resource.

Pretty much been doing 3 sets of 5 minutes, the temp gains hang around pretty random, sometimes gone immediately, sometimes for an hour or two.

For anyone thinking about getting one, it's easy to use and I hope these temp gains can stick one day

Picture snapped about 20 minutes out of the pump.

Another good session. Lucky enough to have time in the soaker tub. I almost fell asleep lol!

Up at the cottage for the holidays, was able to do a session today in the Hot Tub, Got good seal, good pressure. Some temp gains have stuck around since 7:30am (its noon now). Onward and upward

Fairly consistent over the holidays. Todays session went well, it's amazing how quick the learning curve is for using the X30, after a few weeks it's ease of use is ridiculous. Newbies - keep at it, it gets easier to use!

Yep more you use it the better expansion you get and the better your sessions become.

Good luck on your journey dude!

Thanks @PhilTheBeard.

Do you use the comfort pad with X20 and X30?

I ditched mine early, but gaiter bite is a bitch at times. I used the pad today, and it was hella comfortable, but not sure if I was getting the same pressure.

No you get way better pressure without the comfort pad. And It's all about placement with the pump to not get gaiter bite. But it still happens to me every few sessions. But it doesn't bother me one bit since the mark go away within minuets.

Just picked up a 2nd X30.

I spend weekends at our cottage, I'm paranoid about breaking or fucking up the X30 traveling back and forth every weekend so now I have one at both homes.

I'm a month into it, I didn't follow the newbie routine, I just took things easy at my own pace. Tried things out to see how my body reacted. So far so good, temp gains hang around a tiny bit more each day. As I said, discoloration has been an issue, a dark band mid shaft. When you poke around online this band is associated with PE in general. Not everyone gets it, but many are susceptible. I am using a 12% Lactic Acid lotion that is a hydroxy moisturizer, and exfoliation cream. A lot of online reviews at PE sites of this product (Amlactin in the US) disputes it's effectiveness. Personally I don't think it will work either, the discoloration IMO is due to the stress put on the penis, and the discolored areas are probably iron deposits from the work the little fella has been undergoing. I haven't measured, I don't think there has been any significant long term gains. As stated, short term is different. I am thicker with when flacid and erect for a few hours now - post pump, and this has been attested by my wife. She see's and feels the difference. Now - these gains aren't there a 24 hour period, but they last for a few hours to a degree. And that's enough for me to continue.

The last couple of days I've switched up my routine. The first 2 sessions are WITH the comfort pad. Gaiter bite is an issue, and hurts like a bitch. In my case, it can be tender for a few hours or even a day. So, my first 2 sessions are 2*6mins with the comfort pad with full erection on entering the BM. I don't know if I'm used to the BM, but I lose no pressure with the comfort pad. There are no water bubbles, and I can increase pressure every minute without air entering the BM. When I fill the BM with water, I do it without the comfort pad. When it is 100% full, I slide the comfort pad on, and go in full erection. My first pump is short, just to introduce pressure. 30 seconds or so later, I pump and continue to increase over the duration of the session. I hit 6.5" with the comfort pad on, by the end of the session. There is immediate black/blue discoloration, this goes away quickly with goat rolls and massaging. My last session is 8-10 minutes without the comfort pad. Again I enter full erect, and pump up to max pressure gradually.

After the complete session I apply Lac-Hydrin 12% to the shaft and go about my day.
