Recently, I received this comment on the blog.
Bro!!! Ive recently bought the hydro extreme 8. 1st time I used it was for a few minutes and I stopped due to nerves. Few days went by and was ready for a second use. 1st set was ok about 5 pumps held for 3 minutes then stopped. (Still dont think im turning the dial right though.) Took a break then went for 2nd set about 60% erect. Turn the dial i think to the right. Then added hand pump. Pumped about 4 times and my penis head ballooned so fast I freaked out. Took the hand pump off and tried to press in it wouldn’t release. Then I turned dial then I pressed in then released. Nerves are wrecked right now as you can imagine. Im not sure if im turn the dial the correct direction before I pump or not. It will pump of dial is turned to left or right. Im not talking about the black valve in the middle. Im not talking about the dial that the black valve is seated in. I need help. Because if I dont figure this out. Im done with the bath mate. Thanks
O.J. Light is here to help.
Story time: I remember the first time that I used the Bathmate back in like 2008. Ballooned is a good word because that is what happened to my cock the first time I used the bathmate. And I did indeed freak out. My cock like 3x itself. I thought I destroyed my cock and needed to go the hospital. I didn’t sleep that night because I thought I was going to die overnight from penis pumping. To be clear, I wasn’t in pain. There was no blood, no injury. I was just freaked out by how big my dick got the first time I used the Bathmate. I didn’t even use it for the whole 15 minutes. Looking back, this was just normal expansion, but that first time I was terrified.
Let’s roll it forward to 2026. There is a couple of things I want to anyone you to remember.
1. One of the most attractive qualities a man can have is the willingness to put themselves into uncomfortable, even painful, situations. Money, women, and even a 6-pack will pursue you if you put yourself into scary situations. Using the Bathmate as an example, if you are unwilling to personally go into uncharted waters, you are never going to be able to experience the benefits that Penis-Pumping can offer you. Do not be afraid.
2. Now for some practical advice. I want to use weight lifting as an analogy. In the gym, it is foolish to try to max out a weight on a new exercises you’ve never done before. It is a good practice to perform the movement with minimum weight so you understand how you body needs to move before putting on heavy resistance. The first time I did a bench press, I didn’t throw on 225 lbs. I simply chest press the bar with no additional weight on it. I practiced the movement. I still do this before I throw weight onto the bar. I make sure my shoulder feels good and that there is no pain doing the movement itself. Once I feel good, then I throw the weight on. This same idea applies to penis pumping. When you start pumping, don’t try to max out the pump your first time using it. Pump a little, let you body get use to it, then pump a little more. In other words, never OVER-PUMP.
FIRST PUMP OBJECTIVES
For your first pump you have one simple objective: learn how to use the Bathmate. Below, I’ve typed up a simple 6 step process.
Here are some steps to make sure you are using the Bathmate:
- Turn to lock the pressure valvue on top of the Bathmate.
- Fill the Bathmate chamber with warm water.
- Insert your penis into the Bathmate.
- Press the Bathmate against your pelvic bone lightly press to create a little pressure. If water doesn’t come out, toggle the pressure switch.
- Attach and squeeze the hand pump a few time to create additional pressure.
- After 5 minutes, unlock the pressure valve and press it down to release.
Do not worry about doing three more sessions. Your only objective for your first pump is to master the basics. In fact, for you first month, I would do nothing but the above process, every other day. After the first month, you should be a lot more confident with the Bathmate.
There is one last thing I want to touch on. The Bathmate makers suggest that you use the Bathmate in a flaccid state. This is because, from my understanding—though I am not a doctor so take this as gossip—your penis in the flaccid state is more resilient to injury than if it was in an erect state. I’ll be honest, sometime it can be hard being soft. If I get excited during a Bathmate session, I try to clear my mind for 30 seconds to a minute and let the penis deflate.
I hope the above post answers your question and I hope it helps anyone else who is new to penis-pumping.
Stay pumped my people,

Thanks for making a video and answering my questions. Fully erect in 6.5 inch. I bought the bathmate extreme 8 like I told you. So after the scare tonight just went in fully flaccid. I cant even see my penis pass the billows. (The grey boot at the bottom of bathmate) . I squeezed the pump just 4 times enough for my penis to get a pull. It stayed flaccid all 3 sessions. Not sure if I pumped even enough to use the actual product but im going in easy and cautious from the scare from last week. Do I need do this baby step routine for a month? Which is 3 -4 squeezes on handpump enough to get the flaccid penis to get pressure and get a slight pull then after month aim to get more blood in penis by pumping 7 -8 on handpump? Not sure if I should size down and get the extreme 7. Seeing my flaccid small penis in the 8 when its not erect is looking crazy..
Again thanks for making video and answering my questions. Blessings
Greetings D,
You don’t have to do the Baby steps for a month–my point was to get confident in using the device first before you start apply real pressure. It is hard to say if you need to size down or not–I will say that I went from using a 7″ to a 9″ originally, and that was a mistake. The 9″ wasn’t unmanageable, but it was a lot harder to use. Before you buy a smaller Bathmate, see what happens if you apply more pressure and do three 5-minute spurts in a row. Both of these are good questions, I’ll make videos for them within the next two weeks (I have a few other videos I need to release, first!)

Edit. I meant to say im fully erect of 6.5 inch. Thats the reason I bought the bathmate 8. Was thinking of future growth. But like I said I think the bathmate 8 maybe to big for me when I go in flaccid I can barely see myself inside bathmate.
What happened to the bathmate tutorial video on using it?
I’m still planning on releasing it. Unlike YouTube where I can just upload a video, anything that is considered ‘adult’ has to be upload with a driver license and other stuff, no matter the platform you choose. I’ve been just dragging my feet a little as I wasn’t planning on providing so much documentation. I will be releasing it.
