In some aspects, the world couldn’t be more diverse. But when it comes to the topic of one’s penis size, it seems as though it’s a touchy subject for most.
With that we mean, so many penis owners wouldn’t mind adding an inch or two (or a few) to their size. And that’s why there are so many different kinds of products and gimmicks on the market that arguably increase the size of one’s penis.
But what about penis pumps? More specifically, the Bathmate Hydromax Penis Pump? Does it work to increase one’s size? Does it offer other benefits? And if so, how does it work?
Let’s find out!
A Closer Look at the Bathmate Hydromax Penis Pump
The Bathmate Hydromax is a type of penis enlargement device called a ‘penis pump’.
What Is a Penis Pump?
A penis pump is a vacuum device that’s said to increase the size of one’s penis, help maintain an erection, and assist in keeping firmer erections.
How so? By creating this vacuum, more blood flows to the penis which will then give the user an erection. The more blood, the more firm the penis will become, hence the firmer erection.
In other words, it’s a tube that fits over the penis that comes with benefits.
The Bathmate Hydromax Penis Pump collection however is different in the fact that it uses water instead of air (hence the word ‘hydro’) to create a vacuum.
Does the Bathmate Hydromax Penis Pump really work? Well, there is, in fact, a very real scientific basis behind penis pumps like Bathmate! One particular study showed an 88 percent satisfaction rate among those who’d used their Bathmate for over one month.
Allow us to fully introduce you…
What Is the Bathmate Hydromax?
To quote Bathmate directly:
“The Bathmate Hydromax is the revolutionary, next generation product for increased penis length, stronger harder erections and better sexual endurance.”
It’s a penis pump that uses medical grade, skin-safe materials while undergoing strict dermatological testing at every stage in order to bring you improved erection strength, stamina, and higher-intensity orgasms.
More About Bathmate
Bathmate is a sexual wellness brand that started in 2004, with its first penis pump hitting the market in 2006. The creation came about by Chief Designer, John Edwin Oakes, when his good friend suffered a serious spinal injury, leading to erectile dysfunction.
With Oakes’s background in mechanical engineering design, he found himself dissatisfied with the penis pumps on the market, and thus decided to create his own. Voila: meet the Bathmate range of penis pumps.
How Does It Work?
So the Bathmate Hydromax has caught your eye… how do you use it? In layman’s terms: simply add water! But that doesn’t really help you much, does it?
So here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the Bathmate Hydromax:
Before beginning with step one, here are a few important guidelines:
- Wash your Bathmate Hydromax with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly
- The Bathmate Hydromax will work more efficiently if your pubic hair is trimmed
- Relaxing in warm water (bath or shower) before use is recommended as it will allow the testicles to soften and thus remain free from the sealing area
- Do not exceed the recommended vacuum pressure, it could result in bruising or injury
- To achieve optimal firm erections and blood flow, remove the device every two to three minutes and allow your penis to retract
- Massage the penis while it’s flaccid for two minutes, then re-apply the device and repeat the process for a maximum of three times.
Step one: Warm Up
Bring your Bathmate Hydromax into the bath or shower, then massage the genital area to relax.
Step two: Start Preparing
Set the valve to “closed” (press black pip to either side), fill the pump with warm water (as much as possible).
Step three: Into Action
Insert your flaccid penis into the pump, press it against the body to create a seal, ensure your testicals are below the seal.
Step four: Create a Seal
Set the valve to “open” (return black pip to centre), pull the pump into the body to create a vacuum seal against the body, and once sealed continue pumping until you’re at a comfortable maximum pleasure.
Step five: Pressure and Wait
Add pressure if desired, and wait for up to three minutes.
Step six: Release the Vacuum
Press down on the clear valve cap, hold the valve cap until the vacuum releases, remove the Bathmate Hydromax.
Step seven: Slide the Grip
Form a decent grip with one hand and gently slide the grip from the base of the penis along the shaft, stopping at the glans. Repeat this motion for up to two minutes so that the penis can relax and return to a flaccid state.
Step eight: Repeat
Repeat steps two to seven two more times with a daily limited use of 15 minutes in any 24 hours and a limited weekly usage of five days.
Step nine: Cleaning
Wash your Bathmate Hydromax with warm, soapy water again and rinse thoroughly. Store it in a cool, dry place and don’t allow it to be in direct sunlight.
Examples of a Bathmate Hydromax Routine
While we’ve mentioned the recommended days and times in which to use the Bathmate Hydromax, you may have found it quite confusing.
If so, here’s a little cheat sheet on a weekly routine you could follow for optimal results:
- Monday: Use your Bathmate Hydromax for 15 minutes
- Tuesday: Use your Bathmate Hydromax for 15 minutes
- Wednesday: Rest
- Thursday: Use your Bathmate Hydromax for 15 minutes
- Friday: Use your Bathmate Hydromax for 15 minutes
- Saturday: Use your Bathmate Hydromax for 15 minutes
- Sunday: Rest
With this weekly schedule, you’ll be following the weekly use of five days per week at 15 minutes each time, whilst giving yourself two “rest” days in between.
What Are the Benefits of Using Water During the Penis Pumping Process?
Did you know that the Bathmate is the only penis pump that uses water during the penis pumping process. Why is this significant?
For one, warm water alone has the power to increase blood flow throughout the body (and to the penis).
So when you add in your Bathmate, the warm water hydraulics and slow negative pressure enhances that blood flow with the pressure the hydropump creates.
It also makes using the device easier, as it can be a part of your daily routine.
Why Would You Want to Use a Penis Pump?
Many people believe that a penis pump is solely used to increase one’s size. But this simply isn’t true.
In fact, penis pumps come with all sorts of functions and benefits. Why you specifically may want to use a penis pump may differ from someone else.
- work well if used correctly
- may help increase the size of one’s penis
- prompt blow flood to the penis for stronger erections
- are cost-effective as opposed to other erectile dysfunction (ED) treatment options
- are non-evasive
- can help people regain function after certain medical procedures
- can bring about more confidence in the bedroom
- can increase one’s sexual stamina
- can result in a more fulfilling and active sex life
Let’s take a closer look at these aspects to find out why one may be interested in using a penis pump.
Penis Pumps for Increased Penis Size
The big question on everyone’s lips is: does a penis pump actually make your penis bigger? The truth is, a penis pump does make your penis bigger… but only temporarily. When you use a penis pump, it promotes blood flow to the genitals and thus brings about an erection and causes the penis to swell in length and girth—more so than without the penis pump. After the erection has gone down however, one’s penis will go back to their original size.
Penis Pumps for Bigger, Firmer Erections
Just as we mentioned above, the rush of blood to the penis gives the user a bigger and firmer erection. This can aid in an overall more satisfying sexual experience, whether it is solo or with a partner. Additionally, if you use a cock ring to maintain your erection after your penis pump has been used, it can increase the time in which you keep your erection. Be sure to follow the directions on both devices however as not to use them for too long. This could cause bruising or damage to the penis.
Penis Pumps for Erectile Dysfunction
There are many reasons why a penis owner may have erectile dysfunction (ED). Some can be psychological, such as anxiety, fatigue, or sexual fears, and some may be physical and/or medical, such as one’s age, diabetes, certain medications, or the use of alcohol and/or illegal drugs. Having said that, a penis pump has proven to be very effective for those living with ED, no matter the reason.
Penis Pumps for Non-evasive Regaining of Function Post-procedure
After certain medical procedures, such as prostate surgery or radiation therapy for prostate cancer, for example, one may find it difficult to get and/or maintain an erection. In this case, a penis pump can assist them. Penis pumps are also less invasive, and don’t require any surgery or medical assistance in order to use them. Another bonus is that penis pumps are more cost-effective and pose less risks than other treatments.
Penis Pumps for Increased Confidence, Sexual Stamina, and Active Sex Life
For some people, using a penis pump is merely the chance to increase their confidence and sexual stamina in the bedroom. For example, one may not have had a lot of experience with a partner and this could interfere with their ability to get or keep an erection. They may also feel worried about the size and firmness of their erections, in which case a penis pump can temporarily increase their length and girth. This can assist in creating a more fulfilling and active sex life (for both partners).
Expected Results From the Bathmate Hydromax
We all like facts and figures, don’t we? So we’ve decided to include the results of a 2020 survey that Bathmate conducted on 12,000 customers who used their product for two months, plus a quote from one of their customers.
Bathmate 2020 Survey Results:
- 80% of Hydromax users ended up with erections that were either better, longer, or both
- 79.4% said that their Bathmate made them more confident overall
Bathmate Hydromax User Experience:
“I’ve been using the Bathmate for about four or four and a half months and have seen one and a quarter inch in girth with a gain of an inch in length. I exercise with my Bathmate three days on and two days off and after 30 days I take a break for a week.”
Are There Any Risks When Using the Bathmate Hydromax?
While the Bathmate Hydromax is safe for most penis owners, there are some risks to be aware of:
- If you take blood-thinning medication you have a higher risk of bleeding
- If you have sickle cell anaemia or another blood disease it may cause bleeding or blood clotting
Side Effects of Using the Bathmate Hydromax
- Overpumping or using the device too much can lead to temporary discomfort or cosmetic issues (such as pinpoint-sized red dots called petechiae).
- Bruising or pain if the device is not used correctly
- Feeling as if you have trapped semen when you ejaculate
Other Possible Drawbacks to Using the Bathmate Hydromax
- Your erections may not feel like they used to, perhaps a bit unnatural, and less spontaneous
- You may lose firmness at the base of the penis which could cause the penis to rotate or pivot more than usual
- It might feel awkward to use at first, but this takes time and patience
Is It Right for You and Your Goals?
After having discussed penis pumps at length, and zooming in on the Bathmate Hydromax, the next question to ask yourself is if it is right for you and what you’re looking to achieve from using it.
To sum up, a penis pump may be right for you and your goals if:
- you’re living with ED and are looking for a temporary solution to gain and maintain an erection
- you’d like to increase the length and girth of your penis, temporarily, for solo or partnered play
- you find yourself feeling shy in the bedroom and need a bit of assistance in getting an erection
- you feel as though you have mental or physical blocks that are hindering you from getting and keeping an erection
- you and your partner feel a lack of fulfilment in the bedroom because it is difficult to get or keep an erection
- you seek bigger, stronger erections
On the other hand, if your goal is to increase the size of your penis permanently, a penis pump is not the right tool for you.
A penis pump will only help one to achieve and maintain an erection while increasing their length and girth by a small amount, temporarily. It will not bring about permanent change when it comes to increasing the size of your penis.
We hope that through this concise and thorough article about penis pumps; what they are, how they work, and the benefits and risks associated with them, has been helpful to you.
All in all, it is fair to say that penis pumps, the Bathmate Hydromax included, are generally safe to use so you could simply give one a try to see how you like it?
