User Review
( votes)You are properly looking for a penis pump that will help you gain strong, big and long lasting erections? At least I was 3 years ago. I had used an air based penis pump for a couple of months but it was simple not powerful enough. I picked up the Bathmate after reading through a ton of reviews and it has served me well the last 3 years!
How does Bathmate work?
Bathmate and all other penis pumps works by creating a vacuum in a chamber where your penis is, the vacuum forces more blood into your penis thus increasing its size and creating a strong erection. The increased size is temporary in the beginning and will only last around 1-2 hours – the time it stays larger will increase with the number of times you use the pump.
In the end you will gain a permanently larger penis and the ability to get strong and long lasting erections.
The vacuum is created by pumping water or air out of the tube with a hand pump or an electric pump.
This is what happens when you use a penis pump
There are 3 chambers that hold blood during an erection, they are called Corpora cavenosa (you got 2 of those) and Corpus spongiosum. See picture below
The chambers expand more during a penis pump session than during an erection – this creates micro-tears in the tissue that leads to the growth of new cells and a larger and stronger penis.
Steps on How to use Bathmate Penis Pump:
Use it in your bathtub, shower or at a sink.
- Put a finger on the top vent to prevent water from running out
- Put the device under water or under a running tap until it’s filled. Use water that are a bit hotter than your body temperature, this will make it more comfortable and more effective.
- Gently push the device up around your penis and pump a few times, until it sits firmly against the base of your penis. Pump out water a few times with 5-10 seconds intervals and wait for your penis to adjust to the vacuum. You should be able to feel the vacuum but it should never be uncomfortable.
- The pump will lose a bit of vacuum – just pump one time every 5 min. to regain a strong vacuum.
- If you pump too much (You will know the feeling – trust me!) just push the vent to one side and release some pressure.
- After 15-20 minutes, release the pressure and remove the penis pump. For first time users, you’ll be surprised with the results!
Tips: It can sometimes be difficult to get a good seal between the pump and your skin, try the following to get a better seal:
- Shave off the hair around your penis.
- Apply water to your skin and the bottom of the pump.
- Put some Vaseline on the bottom of the pump.

What will Bathmate do for you?
- Get strong and rock hard erections after just 5 min. of use – You can use the Bathmate right before sex to get a strong erection if you suffer from weak erections.
- Or use it on a regularly basis (4-6 days a week) and get a permanently larger penis.
Why did I buy it?
I bought the Bathmate to get stronger erections, I suffer from low blood pressure and it was difficult for me to maintain a strong erection during sex. My penis size was on the small side but not too bad, so I used the pump 5-6 days a week to get a larger penis and just before sex to get strong erections.
This is the results I gained during the last 6 months:
Is it safe?
It’s completely safe to use, as long as you follow the instructions closely. Just remember: It should never be painful to use a penis pump! Just release some pressure if you have created a too strong vacuum.
Take at least one day off each week – Using a penis pump is a bit like exercising, your body need rest to recover and grow stronger.
What do I like/dislike about the Bathmate?
This is my personal opinions based on the 6 months that I have used the Bathmate.
The good stuff:
- Immediate results: You will be able to get a strong erection in just 5 min! I went “WOW” after my first penis pump session, it was freaking huge and this was after just 15 min.! I would have to use a penis extender for more than a month to get to the same size!
- Permanent results: With consistent use, expect those immediate gains to turn into permanent results.
- Strong erections: Get strong and long lasting erection without the use of drugs with nasty side effects. Strong erections can be achieved in just 5 min.
- Penis curvature correction: Using a Bathmate will results in a straighter penis.
- It’s cheap: The Bathmate is a lot cheaper than other water based penis pumps.
The bad stuff:
- Bad seal: It can be a bit difficult to get a good seal between the pump and your body. It was however only a problem in the beginning.
- Calcium in the vent: I live in an area with a lot of calcium in the water – It will start to accumulate in the top vent if you don’t wash it properly.
- Tube size: The tube size is not that big and you will outgrow the size faster than you think.
Where to buy and shipping information
Considering the fact that there’s a lot of scams floating around online, it’s highly recommended to buy from the official site at hydromaxbathmate.com.
You might be able to buy it from your local adult shop if you don’t want to buy it online.
The shipping time was 4 business days and the pump came in a brown box with no indication of the content in the box.
You will get an additional 60-day money back guarantee if you buy online at the official store.
What model should I pick?
Selecting the right Bathmate model is not as easy as it used to be, the product line has increased from 2 to 9 models in the last few years and more are added on a regular basic.
You can use the guide below to select the pump that fit your penis size and you experience level. It’s important to note that the penis length is “bone pressed” length. Press a ruler lightly against your pubic bone and measure the length to the tip of your penis.

Final thoughts
Bathmate is a killer product with a low price – What more can you ask for? Apart from a few minor problems, this is by far one of the best penis pumps that I have ever tested and reviewed.
If you suffer from weak erections or you want to increase your penis size, then this is the perfect product for you!
Hi
I have a very small penis (4 inches) can I use a penis pump? And how much can I gain in 1 month?
Thanks you
Hi
Yes that is not a problem – I know “2 inch” men who use a penis pump with great succes.
You should use the pump for more that 1 month, but you should be able to see notable girth gains and a bit of length gain in just 1 month.
Best regards,
Austin

Hey Austin
We emailed a couple of times before Chrismas and I bought a penis pump as you suggested. I have been using it 4-5 times each week for 3 months now and so far my gains have been pretty good.
My penis girth has increased a lot and I was able to see gains in just 2 weeks!!
I’ll get back with the results after 6 months. Thanks a lot!
Hi
I’m so happy it works for you – You are always welcome to get back with your results.

Hi Austin ,
I bought an bathmate hydromax pump x20 and have been using it for 2 week. I read from the internet that it require warm water. I was wondering I living in Malaysia and the weather was hot. Does water obtain from the water tap consider warm water ?
Hi
I use water that’s around 40 degree Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Most heated tap water can get hotter than that – Do you have a thermometer to measure the temperature?
It’s not super important that the water is 40 degree but it should be around your body temperature.

Hey mate
I’m going to get myself a hydromax pump and was looking at all the accessories in the store – Are some of the stuff useful and worth my money?
I’m mainly looking for size gains.
Hi
Yes, some of the products are useful and nice to have but I would personally not spend money on it unless you are filthy rich. It’s just too expensive!
Best regards,
Austin
Hi
I do use it with an erection, I’m not sure what you mean by fatpad, can you explain?
Best regards,
Austin
I have no comment , but a question. I am 60 years old high bp and sleep apenea. Suffer from ed and not being able to keep an erection. I have tried some male enhancement pills. Sizegenix, Extenze. Some from GNC and Vitamin World. Not to many good results with any. I have been reading different reviews on some like Tek Msle. gRockme, Vigrx plus. Virile. Virmax. Do you know anything about these? Or others? What would you recommend? Also what about a cream? I am looking for something to take daily and or maybe at the moment of sex, like Viagra. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi
I would go for Male Extra pills (https://staustinreview.com/maleextra) if you want to take some kind of supplement and take it in a combination with the use of a pump. The pills you mention are “okay” but they work way better when you combine them with some kind of physical training (penis exercises, penis pump or penis extender (for enlargement)).
But you should talk to your doctor about your sleep apnea and taking supplements.

Austin
Hey Austin,
Im looking into buying a pump and was wondering, are the reaults permanet? Also I would like to thank you for this website. Ive been on it reading the reviews and it has convinced me to buy one.
Hi
I’m happy that you like the site and find the information useful. The results you gain are permanent and will last the rest of your life.
I personally continued to use it after I achieved my goal, it’s a good erection training and I kind of like the feeling when I use it.
Best regards,
Hi Austin,
How often do you use it after having reached your goal, for erection training and maintenance?
Thank you,
Ton
Hi
I use it 1-2 times a week. I kind of like using it 🙂
Best regards,
Austin
Hi Austin,
Thank you for a very informative review.
I just have one question, how long does it take for the results to be permanent or to last for the rest of your life?
Thank you very much! 🙂
Hi
It’s hard to estimate, since there are so many variables, but you should get permanent results after 3-4 months.
Best regards,
Austin
I’m a heavier guy with a fat pad around my penis my erect length is 4.5 in and erect girth is 4.25 in. Will I still achieve desirable results even with the fat pad and is the x20 the right model to get?
Hi
The x20 model is perfect for your size, I got to admid that I don’t know how well the suction works on men with a “fat pad”.
It would be nice if you leave a comment with your experience if you buy the pump.
Best regards,
Austin
Hello, I have ordered Hydromax X30 and it will reach me within this week. I am 5.9″ length and 4.13″ girth. My major goal is to gain atleast 1″ girth and 1.5″ length. Should I use jelqing also alongwith pump? if yes, please provide me a link to some authentic jelqing video guide. Secondly, I want to have the subjected goal to be acheived in 2 months maximum, what should be my routine of using the pump? please guide me.
Hi
Your goal is achievable but I don’t think your timeframe is, I would guess it will take your around 6 months. But I could be wrong some men are very receptive to penis exercises and penis pump exercises and gain a lot more than other men.
I would personally do the following:
– Start with a warm up penis exercise for 5 min. – soak a towel in hot water and wrap it around your penis.
– A 10 min. Jelqing session (you can find some great information about Jelqing and other penis exercises here https://www.pegym.com/articles/introduction-to-penis-exercises)
– A 15-20 min. penis pump session – Remember to take a day off during the week, it’s important to let your body recover.
– “Bonus” add in a Jelq session before bedtime, only do this if you have done the other steps at least 4 hours earlier.

Hi Austin
I live in South Korea. If you buy at the official online store, will South Korea be delivered?
And if possible, let me know how Austin uses bathmate. (ex: use time to increase while using …)
My size is 5 inches.
Hi
Yes, you can buy from the official online store, they will ship it to South Korea.
You should use it 15-20 min. a day and take one day off each week. But take it easy in the beginning, I would suggest that you use it 5 min. the first few days and then 10 min. the next couple of days. and slowly build up to 20 min.

Hello man. This is a fan all the way from Nigeria. Im completely heartbroken right now. Tried ordering the Hydromax which seems like my only hope of ever getting an average sized penis but I was informed they don’t ship to Nigeria. Is there anyway anyone can help me out here? And please don’t see me through the lenses of a Nigerian scammer, I am just a man in need of help. Please I’d appreciate any assistance whatsoever to get this stuff.
My penis is 7 inches length and 4.2 girth …..can i use x40…….
Hi
Yes, that will work, the X30 would also work if you want to save a few dollars.
Best regards,
Austin
Hey Austin when do you start to see any results?.. Its my second day using the BM x30 but I didn’t saw any results yet so I’m guessing I’ll need to use it for a few weeks before I see any difference?
Hi
Yea, you need to use it for a few weeks, make sure you use as much vacuum as possible without it being uncomfortable.
Best regards,
Austin
Hi
I have been using X20 for the last 8 months ( My erect length is 4.3 inches and erect girth 4.1). There was a gap of 2 months when I did not use since I was travelling. Though there is no change in length. I see a slight increase in girth. My problem is that when I use comfort pad the suction is not good and when I don’t use it, I get gaitor bite marks when the pump is pressed towards the body which causes pain. I have also used Lubes (applying it on the gaitor) but it does not help. Can you please advise how to overcome this problem. I am 55 years. THe Xtreme series is beyond my budget
I have been using BM X30 for past 5 weeks. I have been doing this routine 4days a week. 3-4 sets 6 mins with 100-150 jelqs after each set. But still no permanent improvements.
I have few questions:
1. Should i continue with 4 sets of 6 mins each or a single set of 15 mins ?
2. Sometimes, i’m not getting hard erections as i use to get before using the pump. But i get a proper stiffer in the morning (Morning wood).
Is it some phase that will pass by, or should i be worried about it.
3. It also appears like i’m losing my erect length and girth. While erect girth has increased ?
Hi
You should give it some more time. You could try a single 15-20 mins session to see if that makes a difference – remember to repump during the session to keep the vacuum strong.
Best regards,
Does this product come in conjunction with a variable size penile ring set with urethral notch
Hi
No they dont come with penis rings, you can buy them as “extra”, but I would just recommend that you get some from somewhere else, that fits your needs and size.
Best regards,
