Bathmate Hydromax is expensive, but worth it for many reasons. Not only is the pressure/suction created by water better for your cock, you literally put it on, shower and then you're done. I end my routine with some jelqing and to massage the blood flow - plus, I like that it's something I can do while I'm doing something else. Pumps are great, when you set aside time...Bathmate makes it easy to turn pumping into a routine. I would, though, recommend getting a size smaller. I bought the Hydromax 8 and to be fair it was just too big and had a hard time keeping it on w/o needing the strap (it was top heavy). I also found the base wasn't as pliable as I'd have hoped, meaning I was pushing too hard when I pumped to get my cock to a certain point on the scale. I downsized to the 7 and for now it's way more comfortable because I don't need the strap. I've noticed great gains in girth but not in length, and have been using it for about 1.5 years now. Hope that helps!
