OK, so, here is an update.
The first few days were awesome. Like I said above, I'd recommend this just because it makes erections stronger and feel better. I was getting boners like a 13 year old, just sitting around and seeing something semi-attractive would start to get me hard almost instantly.
Not sure if this is just a placebo or not, but still.
Anyway, the first 2 days I pumped, I was getting to 180.
On the 3rd day, I managed to get up to 190, where I've been since that day. After that 3rd day, my erections feel fuller and harder. They last longer, feel better, I have more control over my orgasms. But on the 4th day, I had the problem I mentioned above.
I used an ACE bandage to hold my balls in place, though, and that worked out perfectly.
Of the 7 days of use, I took 2 off. My penis got some discoloration, and I got a donut effect yesterday, which I didn't like.
Everything I read says that the first time using pumps and the bathmate are always very encouraging, but it all plateaus, which I can already tell will happen, as it doesn't feel as good as it did the first few days. But it still feels awesome.
The thing is, when I pump, get out of shower, and look in the mirror, I'm in awe. It doesn't even look like it shout be attached to me. I'm usually small while flaccid, and after I pump, my flaccid penis looks like a monster. It's an addictive view I just stare at it while jelqing.
I'm taking a few days off, because of the discoloration and the skin seeming weird from the donut effect. But here are some things that I noticed were helpful.
Diet and exercise, of course. On my lazy days, I never got as good of a pump.
Weed. It increases blood pressure, and makes everything feel more awesome. Whenever I smoked and pumped (twice so far) my girth filled the tube. This hasn't happened otherwise. Not sure if this was just coincidence or not, though.
I'll update when I've been using it for a month.
