Just received my
Bathmate in the mail today! Took about 10 days to arrive.
I never take baths, so I also ordered the
Shower Strap. I was so excited to try it out, the very next thing I did was jump in the shower.
First impressions:
The
shower strap is way too small to be useful (practically choking myself trying to get it right). I ordered a medium on the account that I am 5'11 and usually wear medium clothing. Wrong! I need a Large. And since they are adjustable, I imagine everyone should order the large (or they can just make it a "one-size-fits-all").
The rubber gasket of this thing is incredible and provides an impressive amount of suction and support! Once attached, I was able to let it 'hang' freely without a loss of grip for about 30 seconds or so. Allowing the unit to hang provides additional suction that could be used as an optional workout method. With a little practice, I am sure I could use it without the strap, however, I do not know if that will be safe (too much pressure = injury).
I wore the
Bathmate for 15 minutes, periodically removing it to refill the water level and restore heat. It genuinely feels a little different than traditional air pumping though its hard to articulate how... After the 15 minutes was up, I had a substantially greater hang and pump with no fluid retention (much different than air pumps which leave you hung with lymph fluid). I wish I had my tape measure handy... all I can say for now is that it felt big and heavy.
Pump lasted about 10-15 minutes and as I write this my penis is hanging at about 5" length x 4 1/2" girth, which is a little above normal (4 7/8" x 4 3/8"). We'll see if it builds above that...
According to DLD and RedZulu, the
Bathmate can be used everyday, which I intend to do. I will stick with the 1 on/1 off DHT application. Still contemplating my post
Bathmate, pre-DHT workout routine. Will post once I figure it out.
