Goliath Losing Seal When Repumping

I've noticed that the X-40 will randomly lose its seal when I repump. It has has been happening more frequently so I had through I just needed to shave my pubic hair. I did that, but it's been happening more and more. I lost the seal completely 3 times during today's session. Is there a secret between pumping to get more pressure and pumping to release the seal against the body I'm not picking up on?

I was having the same problem when I upgraded as well I know pump my complete package and get a better seal.

My balls are too big for the X-40 so that isn't an option, otherwise I would already be doing it<

This happen on my Bathmate as well might be u put some vaseline on the buttom of Bathmate & try like dld mention here many times in the Bathmate thread. It should have a good seal that way.

The X-40 is majorly flawed in my opinion, it loses the seal all the time unless you go full package (which you are absolutely not suppose to do according to Bathmate officials). It's even worse if you are in the shower, then the X-40 is almost unusable in the normal way and Bathmate doesn't seem to care or even comment about it.

Not sure why it is so extremely wide either, 11 inches girth is way more than anyone I've ever seen.

In 99% of the cases, which are few, loss of pressure is due to excess pubic hair and once it is trimmed the Bathmate works like a charm.

If you go full package it works fine, yes, however, you are not suppose to do that according to officials.

I do not use like that, I go straight in erect as most do. Have you tried to trim your pubic hair first?

Also, there are a few guys here, Redzulu included (who 1st started to do whole package pumping) with no problems.

Vampire above speaks of using Vaseline. Sounds like an option to try and will do so . My only reservation is that the Vaseline will damage the rubber of the seal.
OK, IMHO, I have used the X-40 after shaving enough to clear the opening diameter etc. It works well but do not attempt to pull it over to the right or left as it will break the seal easily. Just use it straight out or a little down to compensate for the bevel or chamfer on the bottom side. If your testicles ride high be careful when inserting yourself. Make sure that you have pulled them out of the way as much as possible before starting to pump. X-40 will want to suck them in.
The good thing I noticed today was that this was only my third time with X-40 but each time I went in erect or close to it and when I stopped and came out , I did not have the spongy extra width at the base that I saw when I came out of X-40. I was of a width that I was an interference fit when I went into X-40 most times if I went in erect. If I went in soft, then I had FR from the base up half the shaft tapering off about 3/4 from the base. This time it was firm and looking good,expanded but not soft and spongy. Hopefully it will stay that way. I look forward to more with X-40.

IF the X-40 is losing suction bend your thighs closed tightly together so that it makes like a double-triple-platinum seal:

I haven't had access to the net for a few days so I'll be trying closing my thighs and if that fails I'll buy some vaseline.

I found something else which makes me think I could be doing something wrong or have a bad X-40. During yesterday's session I lost the seal at the 4 minute mark, and there was already a visible indention on my skin from the ring. I usually have this at the end of a session, but even after a 30 minute session it goes away completely in 5 minutes so I assumed I was just pumping harder than most. Could there be a problem with the Bathmate or my technique if I'm getting that after only 4 minutes? You'll have a hard time convincing me that 4 minutes is overdoing it.

If you have a solid seal for 4 minutes and they you lose it, what is happening at the 4 minute mark that is different?

Absolutely nothing is different. I will completely lose the seal when pumping at random at least twice per session, usually around 14-18 minutes in and around 22-25 in. Typically it happens just as I start to get some decent pressure and feel good expansion taking place, but nothing is different when I lose the seal. Sometimes I pump again, hear the pressure release and have water just floating inside the Bathmate. I had an idea that it might have been some kind of fail safe if I had somehow reached maximum pressure and tried to pump again, but losing the seal at 4 minutes killed that theory. I have no idea what the problem is. If I'm doing something wrong I want to fix it. My pumped girth is marginal for the X-40 but too big for the X-40 (around 6.5-6.75) if that makes a difference in dealing with this issue.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with a potential problem, but when I've used it erect I get zero expansion. I can pump and pump and pump and consistently lose my erection no matter what I do when trying to use it erect. When using it erect I've experienced no expansion at all. Now I enter flaccid and pump to greater than my erect girth but not quite as long as my erect length. The length I get in the X-40 also varies more than it seems it should from reading others' journals. My maximum length can vary by 10mm in either direction day to day. Losing pressure early and repumping from the beginning could be skewing my numbers though.

Tried closing my thighs with tonight's session and lost the seal at 12 and 27 minutes in. It's safe to say that didn't fix my issue. I'm going to try vaseline tomorrow.

Let us know how it goes, we will solve this.

I decided to play it safe and got Eucerin instead of vaseline. Both have the same active ingredients, but I know from experience that Eucerin is more resistant to water. It went right into the seal when I put it on and started eating away at it right away. After applying a small amount it was visibly thinner, so I don't recommend anyone else try it. This did not even help, as I lost the seal at the 10 and 24 minute mark. I also hit a new all time low for maximum length in the X-40 by 10mm, but with me being completely flaccid when the pressure goes out I can't say it's necessarily a problem with the Bathmate and not a result of the short time I was in it.

Adding to the good news, my penis has adjusted to the small amount of pressure for short durations enough that it no longer has any effect. I just finished a 30 minute session and my penis feels exactly the same way it did before I started. Until today I had felt some expansion to indicate some progress was being made, just not as much as there should be. Now I've lost that.

On an unrelated note I thought I read an FAQ somewhere that said the X-40 supported up to 8 inches of girth, not 11 like First mentioned earlier in the thread.

8.5 " is the opening of the X-40.

Also, vaseline never deteriorated my seal, have you tried this? I don't know what that other stuff you used is.

It's basically petroleum jelly with more petroleum, no wax and in a thicker cream form. It's what you use when Vaseline doesn't get the job done.

Tried Vaseline today for poops and giggles. Lost the seal at 22 minutes and got almost no pressure before that. Got okay pressure the second time and pushed it to 40 minutes when the seal broke again. Overall, no better than using it bareback. I'm open to suggestions.

Today I noticed the seal is much tighter under the penis and on the left side than it is on the right and above. Not sure if that could help point toward something I may be doing wrong or a defect.
