Step by step guide

Warming Up

Use Bathmate in either the Bath or Shower.
Massage the genital area to relax skin.

Filling the pump

For Hydro/Hydromax:

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 step 2 completed, 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 step 4 completed)

Attaching 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

Creating 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

Wait while Bathmate works its magic

Wait for up to 3 minutes (Tip: Use a shower strap for hands-free usage in the shower and continue your shower/bath routine)

Removing the pump

Press down on the clear valve cap
Hold the valve cap until the vacuum is released
Remove the Hydropump

Massaging 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

Repeat

Follow steps 2-7 (Tip: We recommend completing these steps 2 more times)
Limit daily usage to 15 minutes (3 x 5 minutes [3 minutes in pump, 2 minutes massage])
Limit weekly usage to 5 days (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. You should do this a maximum of 3 times in any 15 minute process.

Do not use the Hydropump for more than 15 minutes in any 24 hour period.
