COMMENTS, REVIEWS, FORUM
The promise of increasing the size of your penis is a claim made by practically every product in the male enhancement industry.
Though at the end of the day very few products actually live up to this claim.
The bathmate is the exception to that rule, as it’s one of the very few products that we can assure you actually does produce real results.
After personally using the bathmate on and off over the course of four years, I think it’s a perfect time for me review this product.
What Is Bathmate?
The bathmate is a water-powered penis pump (known as a hydropump) that is used to permanently increase the length and girth of your penis, improve upon the hardness and fullness of your erections, as well as other aspects of general penile health.
It makes claims that users can gain upwards of 1-2 inches in length and girth.
The pump came out nearly a decade ago, with its first model being the hercules, which has sold over one million pumps to this day.
The bathmate is by far the most popular penis pump on the market.
How Does Bathmate Work?
One of the noteable features of the bathmate is its simplicity. There are not external parts, lengthy procedures, warmups, cooldowns, or lube needed to use it.
Which is why one of their there slogans is, “just add water”.
To use the pump you fill it to the brim with warm water, put your penis inside of it, and then begin pumping.
As you pump a vaccuum/pressure is created inside the device which forces large amounts of blood into your penis.
When this happens your penis starts to significantly grow thicker and longer inside the pump.
Once adequate pressure is achieved, you leave the device on anywhere from 8-15 minutes, and then you’re done for that session.
Again, it’s a very simple process.
Here is a quick video explaining this further:
Does Bathmate Work?
Yes. I have successfully increased the length and girth of my penis — though mostly in girth.
There are two types of gains you can expect with the bathmate: Short term and Long term.
Short Term Gains
These gains are similar to a muscle pump. In other words, they are temporary.
After every bathmate session you will see an increase of anywhere between 0.5-1″ in girth.
You will also see a significant increase (about 30-40%) in your flaccid hang/length.
Additionally, you will have fuller and more blood-engorged erections (which is especially good for guys with erectile dysfunction issues) in the hours after your session.
Furthermore, you will also notice an increase in orgasm intensity as well.
In other words, any stimulation to the penis, as well as orgasms in general are heightened/more pleasurable — which is due to the increased sensitivity of the penis after being pumped.
These are the things I notice that happen for me after literally every session I have with my bathmate.
And as I’ve used the device over the years, I’ve noticed that the temporary gains in size tend to stick around longer as well.
Long Term Gains
As you continue to use your bathmate on a continual basis you will make PERMANENT gains.
The key isn’t to use it for a long time, but to use it consistently — about 3-5x week, 8-15 minutes per session.
Doing this will result in the following results:
0.25-1 inch in girth and 0.25-1 inch in length.
There are going to be outliers who will gain more, and of course, the longer you stick with it the more likely you are to keep making gains.
Something to know is that the bathmate is primarily a girth builder despite what their website claims.
Personally, I’ve put on about 0.7″ in girth and 0.3″ inches in length from mine.
However, I’ve further added to my length by using the Phallosan Forte Extender, which is what I also recommend in combination with a bathmate to really max out your gains.
In addition to the above, you can also expect to see permanent results in your flaccid hang.
I will say that out of all the stuff I’ve tried, nothing has really improved the meatiness and hang of my flaccid penis like the bathmate has.
Lastly, you can also expect permanent improvements in the quality of your erections and general penile health, as frequent pumping trains your penile chambers (corpora cavernosum) to take in and hold more blood over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’ve never done any male enhancement stuff/am new to pumping, can I start with this?
A: Yes. The bathmate is the device I would recommend the most to start with for any newbie who wants to improve their size, simply due to how easy, safe, and fun it is to use.
—
Q: Is this thing legitimately safe?
A: Yes. The bathmate has been tested and calibrated to only be able to achieve a certain maximum pressure. The idea is that this pressure is enough to see results, but not enough to do any actual damage.
Personally, in the four years I have been using this thing I never had any serious problems occur. Typically if I over do it I am just a bit sore, so I rest up for a day or two.
—
Q: Can I combine this with the phallosan extender, jelqing, or other exercises.
A: Yes. In order to maximize your gain I recommend combining this with the phallosan and other exercises if you wish.
You can either pump before or after using other stuff — I prefer after.
—
Q: Can I have sex/masturbate after the bathmate?
A: Yes. One of the awesome things about it is that you have sex with a significantly thicker penis after every session if you wish.
—
Q: What is a good bathmate routine?
A: As previously stated, a simple yet effective bathmate routine can be be as little as 8 minutes, 3-5x per week.
For the first few weeks go into the bathmate completely soft, and as time passes you can start going in with more of an erection.
You also want to start off doing it for only 6-8 minutes and then work your way up to 12-15 minutes as your penis adjusts.
Which Type Of Bathmate Should I Get?
There currently are three different series of pumps from bathmates and 2-3 models (different sizes) within each series.
- The Original Series: Hercules and goliath
- The Hydromax X-Series: X20, X30, and X40
- The Extreme XX-Series: XX30, XX40
Having owned each series, I can tell you that there isn’t much difference between any of them besides price, though there are a few KEY differences that you need to be aware of.
The Original Series (Hercules) is the cheapest and works great.
The Hydromax X-Series (X30/X40) has 35% more pressure than the original series.
The Hydromax Xtreme XX-series has about the same pressure as the X-Series, but includes a handball pump, carrying case, lube, towel, shower strap, measuring gauge, and a removable comfort pad.
What does this mean for you?
You are essentially at the mercy of you wallet on this one, as all pumps will provide GAINS.
However, the Xtreme XX-series is the best.
This is because it is the only pump that uses a handball as a means of pumping up. And the handball-pump is definitely an improvement due to the fact that it allows for a more controlled and easier pump.
All other versions of bathmate require you to pump by jamming the device into your body. And while this works fine, the handball pump definitely allows for a smoother and slightly more effective experience.
My Recommendation
The hydromax x-series can be seen as the intermediate pump. It’s got 35% more pressure than the original series (hercules), and it only costs a bit more.
I recommend this pump to the majority of people because it is the most cost effective-result producing model.
The Xtreme xx-series is the best pump on the market, bar none. The most noteable feature that it has is the handball pump which does really add a bit extra to the overall pumping experience.
I recommend this pump to anyone who can justify paying nearly twice as much for the best of the best. You’ll likely never need another pump again if you start off with this one.
The hercules is the pump that I would recommend only if the other two are outside your price range and you still wanted to get a bathmate and see good results.
What Size Bathmate Do I Need?
For length refer to the above picture.
For Girth:
- At 4.2″ or less get the x20
- Under 5.5″ get the X30-XX30
- Over 5.5″ get the x40-XX40
Where Should I Buy It From?
Due to the popularity of the bathmate it is sold on many different websites.
The problem is that many websites may be selling counterfeit pumps and you wouldn’t really be able to tell.
The devices themselves are precision instruments, they need to have the correct pressure, gaiters, etc or they won’t work properly.
This is why you don’t want to buy a fake one, regardless of how cheap it may be.
I also strongly recommend that you dont buy a used one either.
Besides the fact that it is fairly disgusting to use one that someone else has, there could also be an issue with the valve when buying it used, which could screw up the pressure, and basically make the entire thing useless.
Instead, you want to get your pump directly from the source (the manufacturer), so you can be sure that it’s actually going to work and give you the results you’re after.

Final Words
The reality is that very few products in this industry ACTUALLY work.
However, without a doubt the bathmate is one of them.
I’ve personally used this device for four years and can tell you that it’s easily the funnest device in my male enhancement arsenal to use.
I would recommend it to absolutely anyone that is interested in increasing their size, erections, and overall penile health.
