Week 1 with Bathmate - Progress Pictures, no measurements yet

[Ben N. Syder]

My Bathmate Journey to 7"x 6"
(Started on 12/14/20 - Day 9 Currently)

Because I haven't been able to measure, I have been taking progress pictures nearly every few days so that I can document my gains in the beginning until I decide to measure. Here are some before and after pics of the 1st (full) week with the bathmate.

First two pics are before I started, the next two are after the first week (mostly an increase in EQ) and then the last picture is my current flaccid state, not true flaccid, this was taken in a cold room to see at its smallest. (I will date these photos correlating to the post)

I have been doing a 5 min jelq warm up before I get in the shower. I get in the shower and do two 10 minute sessions at medium to high pressure, usually I start off at medium pressure and then the second set I go a bit higher, (but I wouldn't really say its "high" pressure) with Jelqing or holds inbetween sets for 2-3 minutes. I have seen an increase in flaccid size at least doubling or tripling what it was a week ago.

PIs have been good, feels good. 8th day of consistent pumping today, switching to 3on/1off, I was pretty sore on the 5th day last week after PE, tomorrow is my rest day. Will keep posting in this thread to keep you all updated on my progress.

Quick Update (Day 13)

Quick Update (Day 13)

I have been getting in two sessions a day now. One right when I wake up and one when I shower at night. Both sessions consist of 2 10 min bathmate pumping sessions at medium pressure, with jelqing or holds (ULIS I think, gripping below the head and at the base and squeezing). I have been wearing a cock ring after my morning workouts to hold that expansion for an extra hour or so.

I once was astounded that I could push past 6.5” in my old regular air pump. Well after this time with the bathmate, I went from pushing past 6.5” upon first entering, to now I can push past 7” easy, and 7.5” if I really push down. (I have a photo to prove it if people press me) Anyone have experience with this? It’s motivating seeing how deep I can really go. Am I pushing past my pelvic bone or something? How is this possible when my EL is est. 6.3” at best? (Based off of my phone comparison measurements)

Week 2 with Bathmate (Day 17)

The Update:
Week 2 has been good, with the exception of masturbating two times. The first was an accident because I thought edging was a good idea, however the second one I wanted to but I felt bad so I let go at the climax to discourage myself in the future. After day 10 which was my first rest day and the day I came first, I experienced no morning wood and no PIs (day 11) and I could only push to 6.5" in the pump, which I can usually reach past 7" which will be revisited at the end. I recovered from this on day 12 and ruined it again on day 13, I have since recovered and my PIs are good.I am still doing two workouts a day except the day after a rest day, this gives me an extra 12 hours of rest. I was experimenting with cock rings to hold the expansion however I feel that they are impacting the level of stress my member is under because the pump seems far more straining on the days that I use cock rings. I have stopped using them since day 13 and do not intend to revisit them unless my SO takes interest.

Random thoughts: I am mainly looking to gain girth but I don't mind gaining length so it is easier to gain girth later and easier to gain length now, It looks like I have been gaining length. My own hard on catches my eye sometimes because it just appears to be longer, and I can feel the difference in my hand. I still haven't measured but I intend to within the next few days so I can post it in the next update. Also haven't been able to have sex due to the current living situation, which is helping gains I'm sure but no positive affirmations as of lately.

New Milestone Reached! (Day 19)
Last night was the last day of my 3 day cycle of PE before 1-2 rest days. I have been able to push past 7.5" multiple times upon entering the pump, however my max length while pumping is about 6.5" and 6.75" on good days. I figure the reason I get so far when I very first enter is because of the construction of the bathmate, because the soft base expands and contracts, when I press the pump to my body it is getting max compression, therefore pushing the ruler back to unrealistic proportions.

The breakthrough is that after coming to this realization, I decided I wanted to see what my max pump was now that I have been doing this for 3 entire weeks. I pumped my normal two 10 minute sessions, but at the end of the last one I pumped more to a higher pressure than I have before, I wasn't that much further than what I usually do for high pressure towards the end. But it pushed me up to 7" in the pump WITHOUT pressing the pump into myself! This is huge for me, literally and mentally. I previously had a regular air pump and I never even touched the 6.5" mark. My dick was gigantic for around 45 minutes until it went to its regular afterpump hang until I went to bed. I am excited to measure, I am going to look for my mini measuring devices today. Hope I will get to post another update with a similar title.

Anyone know how to delete a post/thread?

I realized I accidentally started a whole new thread in the progress forum two days ago instead of posting under my first one. Is there any way to delete that thread? I didn't know where else to ask this question.

added your post to the existing thread, where you can edit that post, as you see fitting.

Something interesting I have noticed is for example you seem to pump to larger sizes than you measure outside of the pump. I am the opposite. I measure about half an inch more out of the pump than in it even on max pressure.

I have noted googling around this discrepancy some pump to more than they measure others measure more than they pump to.

I measure from the top of my penis, for bone pressed I do it pressed into the pubic bone straight across the top.

I have wondered if measuring technique plays a factor or if some are referencing the BP measurements and other NBP.

How do you measure? Also do you use the comfort pad? The comfortpad really messes with my measurements.

 

[Ben N. Syder]

I actually just measured right now and took pics for EG and BPEL, I measure from the top as well. My measurements are quite nice considering where I started. I will be uploading everything tomorrow.

But yes I pump up to way more than I measure outside of the pump. I can pump up to 7” but I measure up to 6.5” BPEL, I feel that maybe some just pump at a higher pressure than others. I had to pump pretty hard to get to 7”, but I usually sit at about 6.75” when at medium pressure. It’s a good question, I’m not sure why, I sure wish I could push past my pump measurements outside of the pump. I would have a monster cock tbh.

Thanks for your response man!

It could be. I may try a session and just give it all the pressure I can. Still being safe but try to push it and see. My girth regardless blows up!! That is my main goal for the BM.

Good luck on your gains!

Another Milestone Reached! (Day 20 - Almost 3 Weeks)
(Finally measured)
It is 1 day short of 3 entire weeks of using the bathmate. I have noticed I have not measured in quite some time, however I have always been 4.5" EG which is very unsatisfactory in my opinion. I have noticed some gains just by touch and sight, it feels longer in my hand, like somehow I have to move my hand more to get a full stroke in, it feels thicker from time to time but I haven't noticed much, my girlfriend gave me a handjob a couple days ago and she used two hands which she rarely does, I like to think of it as a positive indicator for length. I am happy to say though, after measuring I definitely know that this is working quite well.

Measurements as of 1/2/21:
EL - 6" (+.5")
BPEL - 6.5" (little to no change)
EG - 5" (+.5")

I was pretty damn happy to see I finally had a 6" member, I feel that my BPEL measurement could've been lacking in EQ, I had trouble pressing the ruler comfortably while keeping everything close to the ruler...When I measured my EG I must've done it at least 4 time, I was completely shocked that I had gained A HALF INCH like wtf. I don't think this can be contributed to EQ gains, I am quite past that. Thank you all for following this thread and replying, it keeps me motivated to keep posting which is great for a detailed progress log, I have the notes on my phone but this is far better to look back on. Super happy of where I am at currently, however I changed my goal to 7" x 6" because I thought 5" EG would be bigger. Will keep you all updated.

Also, is there any way to change the title of the thread? I guess I am pretty terrible at this, it is my first time really consistently posting. I would post a new thread but I would hate to lose everyones replies.
