So I am trying out the Bathmate Hercules.
I like the results, except that it is a little uncomfortable, and it leaves these accordion marks on the base of my dick after using it for the recommended length of time. Is this normal? Or does this mean I need to be using the another instead? My dick does not fill the length of the Hercules. Thanks for letting me know what you think.

That is pretty normal to get those rings. One thing that may help is a small amount of cocoanut oil near the base of the tube. I find it lets me get the max stretched length. It also makes things a but more comfy. Try to keep the lube on your dick, not the foam base seal.

i wonder if bathmats will sell an extreme insert, it seems to be that the base insert is longer on the extreme models. to protect from that.

Thanks Bi Athlete. That sounds like a great idea. I will try it. It sounds like you know what you are doing.
Does the coconut oil degrade the inside of the pump at all?

Thanks for the reply Samkick
Can you tell me about the base insert?
I'm new to all this.
Thanks!

I haven't had any problems with the BM other than the rubber base wear out last year(pre coconut oil). Just go to a foam store and cut a new ring out yourself when you need a new one. I used contact cement. As for cleaning I use a bit of water and vinegar with every use, and then pump it through the valve, rinse with just water after that. No issue and only take the valve apart once a year. It is important that you clean the rubber base part and all its rings, as it tends to get build up. That happened once, now with those cleaning tips all is good. Coconut oil use is very minimal, just a dab goes a long way, and it is good for the skin and kills bad things.

Its happening cos at full pump it is digging into the base. I had same prob. I upgraded to hydromax x30 as marginally wider n new bellows less prone (tho still does a bit) to digging ridges in your tool
