Having trouble with BM HardCore Stretches :(

[TheAngry6inch]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with using the BM and doing the stretches. When ever I do the stretches, the BM digs into the base of my shaft and gets a slight cut. It doesn't bleed, but it does hurt.

When using the BM normally, I'm fine. I guess by base girth is to much??? Anybody have any ideas? The Goliath is just to much for me. I like these stretches, and want to continue doing them.

Thanks!

Hmmm, are you sure this is not just the burn of yanking on the ligs so hard?

I wish that was the case. I do have some soreness on the ligs, which is nice. But, now I have a small, long scab that's from the base of the BM. Maybe I'm pumping to hard???? I do get some fluid retention once in a while, specially when get flacid.

Ouch! Have you shaved down there recently and maybe it became irritated? If this is the case, use some hydrocortisone cream on the area, it will eliminate irritation. We will figure it out.

I have seen the same issue as the OP. It seems that as you expand to the size where you fill the BM at the base, you get to a point where the ridges of the BM start to rub against the skin. This results in a circular mark around the base where the contact is made, not necessarily around the entire circumference, but just where the pressure is greatest. In my case on the top side of the penis. In some places you will get a little bleeding - this may be actually cutting the skin or maybe irritating a hair or two. I have also occasionally seen small blood blisters as a result of this. It's not a case of shaving causing an irritation. This a clearly visible perfect straight line, not just random dark spots, like you might see from jelqing or water blisters caused by dry pumps. All of these symptoms go away after a day or two.

I've been using some vitamin-E based hand cream after pumping to keep the skin from getting further irritated or drying out. I'm hoping that when my Goliath comes that the large base size will make this a non-issue.

TRRbogie,

I think you are right in you're description. I have been putting on VitE oil after every session. Guess it's just not enough.

Hey, didn't Bathmate release a second unit, between Hercules and Goliath? I checked the website, but nothing. I'm afraid the Goliath will be to big for me. I already have an issue with my nuts trying to geck up inside the Hercules when doing the stretches. That's VERY uncomfortable!

I need to figure out something.

Thanks for the replys guys. I'm open to suggestions

It is still in the talks, when it is real we will know first.

I can't wait for the new model. I really like doing these stretches, but I just can't with the standard unit :( Also, I think I got a Thrombosed vein from doing these. Either that or the Length Master :( :( Oh well, just have to loosen up a bit. And I was doing so well too....

The medium size one is still far off from completion. I have not heard anything more about it but I do know we are shooting video for the DVD this month.

Hey Guys! I quickly pack the Hercules and initially had the same issues with the rings on the rubber gaiter, which is one aspect of the device that Bathmate can certainly improve upon!. After taking some time to heal, I experimented with first lubing up before entering to hopefully help reduce the friction and discomfort. After trying soaps, lotions, and water-based lubes which all too quickly dissolve, I settled on a 75/25 mix of cold-pressed olive oil and Vit E on both my penis and the inside surface of the rubber gaiter. It's definitely solved the problem for the last few months and at least until I can afford to purchase a larger Bathmate model, which I probably should have bought to begin with! I surmise that any type of vegetable-based oil might do, though of course don't use any petroleum or silicone-based products, as they could have a negative affect on both the acrylic and rubber portions of a Bathmate. Other than that, the Bathmate is a great product!

A bigger model is definitely in order. I wish you could order now while they are running the discount on the Goliath.

[FLBobcat]

DLD . . . I probably could if Bathmate would offer some options when ordering. In other words, just a Goliath in a plain cardboard box without the carrying case and shower strap. Would bring the price down further to an even more affordable level close to the $100 mark. It would be great if you could bring the matter to the attention of the powers-that-be at Bathmate, as I'm sure offering such an option would no doubt increase their sales volume.

They are as low as you will ever see them, BathMate just gave us a huge discount.

[FLBobcat]

What I'm saying is that without the carrying case and shower strap, perhaps the discount could be even greater? It's worth asking them, no?
Regardless of their answer and even without discounts, they'd assuredly increase their sales volume on the Goiliath model if optionally offered alone at a lower price point without the carrying case and shower strap.
