I went back and forth on if I should purchase this item or not and finally decided to give it a try. This is the first and only pump that I have ever purchased and it works great. The best part of the Hydromax is that it is very user-friendly and it is very hard to over pump or do it wrong.

The padded cushion at the base it a nice touch but can cause some suction issues so if you have a hard time getting a seal just remove the pad (it is made to come on and off) and then you will be fine. This product is made to be used every single day for 15 minutes to see true results, I'll be honest saying that I don't use it that often, I wish I could but I don't have the time. I use this product more to pump me up for the day and don't care if the gain "sticks" or not. I have used this product for 2 months now and have gone from a 5.5-inch length to a pumped 6+ inches. My diameter was 5.2 inches and after pumping it goes to over 5.5 inches. My wife doesn't know that I use this product and on days that I pump before having sex she also tells me that it feels different, haha I bet so.

Cleaning this is really easy since you don't get it dirty. I just use it in the bath or shower and then dry it off. I just spin a towel into it do dry the inside and then wipe down the outside. It is made to take the valve apart, but I have not done that yet. I feel that my performance in the bed has improved since I can hold a hard erection for longer. This pump is also known to fix a curved penis, but I didn't have one before I started using it so I can't answer any questions about that.

If you are on the fence about purchasing this item, I would tell you to buy it. This is a lot better than the old version, and I think the pumped version is too expensive to try right out of the gate. This pump is a great "middle of the road" pump by Bathmate that works great. I have dropped the Bathmate in the shower several times, and it has never broke, it is built to be used daily.

Don't order this thinking in a month you are going to look like a pornstar with a horse size dick because it just isn't going to happen. If you order this and use it knowing that it is a marathon and not a sprint and you can be happy with the temporary gains you get right away, then this is the product for you.

My advice to the people that have just ordered this product would be to take the first month slow. The first thing you want to do when you get this - is pump up your dick to the max and pray you grow an inch overnight and it just doesn't work. Your penis needs time to get used to the pump.

My schedule that I used was, Week 1: 10 minutes every other day soft, Week 2: 12 Minutes every other day soft, Week 3: 14 Minutes every other day soft, Week 4 10 Minutes 70% erect every other day. Build up from there and you will be fine. I did leave it on too long sometimes and got small red dots on my penis that went away after a day, and it is common to get those, and that's fine. Your penis will let you know if you over do it, you will get red dots or have an issue getting an erection. Good thing about those two things is just waiting a day or two, and you will be back in action, and that won't affect you at all.

If you have a realistic view on the amount of time, this will take and are willing to put in the time or just use this for the temporary gains then this is hands down the pump for you. There is something amazing about watching your penis in this tube grow over an inch while pumping and when you take the pump off for the first time you will be shocked how big it is. That size won't stick around for long but the more you use it, the longer it will stay which keeps you excited to pump. Good luck and have fun!
