How to use Bathmate penis pumps in 8 easy steps
Using Bathmate is really easy, but knowing how to properly use a penis pump is essential to its success.
Ensure the valve is set to the closed position (press black pip to either side)
Remove the comfort insert (optional - Hydromax only)
Fill the pump with as much water as possible (warm, not hot!)
Replace the comfort insert (if removed, Hydromax only)
For HydroXtreme:
Ensure the valve is set to the open position (rotate the valve anti-clockwise)
Attach the handball to the hose.
Attach the hose to the valve.
Remove the comfort insert (optional)
Fill the pump with as much water as possible (warm, not hot!)
Replace the comfort insert (if removed)
Step 3: Attach the pump
Insert the flaccid penis into the Hydropump
Press the Hydropump against the body to create a comfortable seal
Ensure testicles are below seal
Step 4: Create a vacuum
For Hydro/Hydromax:
Pull the pump in to the body to create a vacuum seal against the body
Once the pump is sealed to the body continue the pumping process until you are at a comfortable maximum pressure
For HydroXtreme:
(note: for use without handball, follow Hydro/Hydromax steps above)
Pull the pump in to the body to create a vacuum seal against the body
Squeeze the handball to create further suction
Repeat until you are at a comfortable maximum pressure
Step 5: Wait (while Bathmate works its magic)
Wait for up to 3 minutes, adding pressure as required (Tip: Use a shower strap for hands-free usage in the shower and continue your shower/bath routine)
Step 6: Remove the pump
Press down on the clear valve cap
Hold the valve cap until the vacuum is released
Remove the Hydropump
Step 7: Massage the penis
Form an ok grip with either hand
Gently slide the grip from the base of the penis along the shaft, stopping at the glans
Repeat this motion for up to 2 minutes to allow the penis to relax and return to a flaccid state
Step 8: Repeat steps 2-7
We recommend completing these steps 2 more times, for a maximum of 2 times.
Limit daily usage to 15 minutes in any 24 hour period (3 x 5 minutes [3 minutes in pump, 2 minutes massage])
Limit weekly usage to 5 days (for example: 2 days use, rest day, 3 days use, rest day)
For all devices, to benefit the most in erection hardness and optimal blood flow, it is best to remove the device every 2-3 minutes and allow the penis to retract. Massage the penis in a flaccid state for 2 minutes then reapply the device and repeat the process.
The Bathmate routine: using Bathmate for long-term results
The Bathmate routine is simple to follow and can have amazing long term results on overall sexual performance, confidence and health. Regular use of a hydro pump will help to increase the strength of your erections and the majority of users report a substantial increase in length and girth over time.
For best results, use the Hydropump for up to five days per week, with two rest days in between. Similar to a workout at the gym, all parts of the body require time to recover from exercise for optimum results. For added benefit ensure rest days are not consecutive.
Push and hold the black pip in the closed position with your finger and invert the hydro pump under the shower head until full of water.
Whilst holding the black pip in the closed position, place the hydro pump over your flaccid penis tight up to your pelvic seat.
Make a seal against your body, ensuring that the positioning is comfortable and that your testicles are well clear.
With the hydro pump angled slightly upwards, open the valve by releasing the black pip and start pumping gently around 2-3 times with the black pip in the central position.
Pump slowly and evenly until the bellows remain depressed, indicating that optimal vacuum has been achieved.
To remove the hydro pump, release the vacuum by depressing the valve cap inwards to activate the quick-release mechanism and slide the hydro pump off your penis.

Can you use Bathmate without water?
Yes - while all of our pumps are designed to use water instead of air to create suction, however that doesn’t mean you need to be in water. The pumps still work in air. You can use a Bathmate penis pump in the shower, bath or just in the bathroom if you’re in a rush.
Our pumps are recommended to be used in warm water. As long as you have warm water, the hydro-vacuum technology will work. Using warm water to pump your penis, means that any grime is washed away and your skin gets time to breathe. Healthier skin means that it lends itself to being stretched more without breaking – a necessity. You don’t want your erect penis is to be restricted by how much the skin can be elongated.
Using a Hydromax penis pump only takes around 15 minutes and can be even quicker once you’re used to the process. You can expect to see amazing gains in size and strength or your erection in minutes with the hydromax penis pump.
Hopefully this guide to the Hydromax Bathmate routine will help you learn how to use a penis pump effectively. When used correctly they can be amazing tools for sexual pleasure and confidence.
