Bathmate Hydropumps: Achieving Maximum Results

Getting into a schedule when it comes to penile health means experiencing real gains pretty much across the board. 

By following the steps in this guide, you may be able to see a major impact across some key areas: penis size, erection quality, personal confidence, overall fitness, and sexual performance.

Of course, you’re almost definitely here for the first of those. Penis size almost definitely matters to you, and by following this guide, you’re going to be able to make a noticeable upgrade there (at least, that’s what the pump users we’ve surveyed have said)

Ready? Let’s go.

How The Bathmate Hydropump Works

Although there is a very scientific principle behind the Bathmate, using it is easier than you might think. 

In the shower or bath, just fill your Bathmate with warm water before inserting your flaccid penis. 

You’ll need to pump the unit against your body to create a powerful initial seal, making it difficult to remove the pump. After this, continue to pump, displacing the water inside the Bathmate. 

Once you’re all set up, you’ll quickly find yourself becoming erect, usually in just a couple of minutes, as the vacuum draws blood into your penis.

Keep the pressure up for about 3 minutes (try to have a clock around, as it’s surprisingly hard to time it right), then release the water. 

Give yourself a couple of minutes to cool off, massage your penis and lose your erection before starting another session, then finish off with a third and final session. 

More detailed information about how each model operates can be found in the video guides below:

What To Expect When You Start A Pumping Routine

First Time Use

One of the hardest parts for beginners is knowing just how much to pump. 

In basic terms, to hit maximum pressure, just keep going until you can’t pump any further.

But, as the vacuum builds and the pressure on your penis increases, it’s going to feel extremely intense. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you slowly build up to maximum pressure over the course of your first week.

Going too hard, too soon, is really not a good idea. While the effects won’t last long, immediately starting with max power can cause some issues.

These are usually limited to minor cosmetic problems (red dots, swelling), which act as a warning sign. If you notice any effects like that, take it easy – stop pumping for a while. 

Get used to using a pump before maximizing the pressure, and make sure you’re only using it for a few minutes at a time. We’ve put together a recommended beginners routine at the end of this guide.

When Will I See Results?

Whether it’s your arms, abs or any other part of your anatomy, when you work out, you’ll see some pretty huge gains right away. After an intense gym session, you’ll look a lot more toned than you did right before. 

Of course, this doesn’t last all that long – making a change takes time. It’s exactly the same for penile workouts. After an effective pump session, your penis will be visibly bigger than usual. 

The exercises pull additional blood into the penis, swelling the tubes and tissue that make up the penis. Ideal if you’re doing a quick pre-sex workout, but the gains are going to fade after a short amount of time, depending on your circulation and health.

Over time, though, users report that it’s possible to build up even better results.

Unfortunately, we’re not legally allowed to quote reviews mentioning specific size gains, as different people achieve different results, but we’d definitely recommend checking out these case studies, and seeing for yourself what’s possible with an effective pumping routine.  

Pumping Guide To Optimize Gains

As we’ve already mentioned, going from 0-100 right off the bat isn’t a good idea. It’s important that you get used to your pump, and how it feels, before maxing out the pressure.

Once you’ve worked up to max-pressure it’s going to feel pretty good, and you’re going to notice some impressive results after each session. But it’s important not to get carried away – as with all areas of the body it’s possible to cause damage by over-working it, and your penis is no different. Rest days are important!

Recommended Routine For Best Results

To get the most from your Hydropump, complete 5 workouts per week, with 2 rest days in between. Remember that the penis needs time to recover from exercise. Just try to ensure that rest days are not consecutive for optimum results.

For maximum comfort, we recommend warming up in the bath or shower for a few minutes before inserting your flaccid penis into your hydropump. This will help to loosen the skin and allow your testicles to drop, keeping them free from the sealing area.

Week 1

Day 1: 9-Minute Workout

Pump until you reach your upper-level of comfort and stop. Leave the pump into place for 1 minute before safely releasing.

You’re going to be erect at this point so spend a couple of minutes massaging your penis back to its flaccid state.

Repeat this process 2 more times, and this concludes your first Bathmate workout.

Day 2: 12-Minute Workout

Pump until you reach your upper-level of comfort and stop. Leave the pump into place for 2 minutes before safely releasing. Massage your penis back to its flaccid state.

Repeat this process 2 more times.

Day 3: Rest Day

Just like working out any other part of your body, it’s important to allow time in between to recover.

Day 4: 15-Minute Workout

Pump until you reach your upper-level of comfort and stop. Leave the pump into place for 3 minutes before safely releasing. Massage your penis back to its flaccid state.

Repeat this process 2 more times.

You’ve now worked your way up to a full 15-minute Bathmate workout

Advanced Results

Once you’ve built a consistent routine and are comfortable with your Hydropump, some users choose to carefully add a manual exercise called jelqing to their training. This is an optional, advanced technique and should be approached slowly and with care.

What is jelqing?

Jelqing is a hands-on exercise performed on a semi-erect penis using slow, controlled strokes from the base toward (but not over) the glans. The goal is to apply gentle, even pressure to help move blood through the tissue. Some users combine occasional jelqing with a regular Hydropump routine.

How to jelq (quick start)

• Warm up: Take a warm shower or bath. Many users prefer to warm up with a light Hydropump set first, then wait until you’re semi-erect.
• Lubricate: Use a generous amount of lubricant so there’s no skin drag. An option designed for jelqing is our Max Out Jelqing Enhancement Serum (optional), or you can use a suitable body-safe lube. Shop Max Out
• Erection level: Allow your erection to drop to roughly 50–75%. Do not jelq at full erection.
• Grip and stroke: Form an “OK” grip at the base, apply light, comfortable pressure, and slide toward the glans, stopping just before the tip. Each stroke should take about 2–3 seconds. Alternate hands.
• Duration and frequency: Start with about 5 minutes of light, controlled strokes. Build up gradually and take rest days between sessions to avoid overtraining.

Important safety notes

• Ease in slowly and stop immediately if you feel pain, numbness, or notice unusual discoloration. Allow time to recover before training again.
• Keep sessions short and controlled. Avoid excessive pressure and avoid combining high pump pressure with vigorous jelqing in the same session.
• If you’re unsure or have any underlying health concerns, consider speaking with a healthcare professional before adding new exercises.
• Revisit our guide on how to avoid injuries and keep rest days in your schedule.
