How accurate are Bathmate measurements?

Relatively comparable to outside Bone Pressed Erect Length, but so-so I would say. As megamike said, nothing beats an actual ruler; or tape measure!
My sticker was so worn out that I just took it off. I think it can give a positive mental boost, when the sticker is intact and session after session you might notice you can hit new numbers!

I'm getting close to my first 3 month measurement thus my curiosity. The actual distance between the markings seems totally accurate, 1/4" is 1/4" no doubt. Just wasn't sure how close 5" is to actually being 5" etc and if it was bone pressed or not.
As I've crept along just a little further in the Bathmate it seems like I'm not satisfied unless I hit a certain established distance in it. If I'm not hitting X every night I'll keep pumping and pulling until I do.
Oddly enough I took 2 days off from stretching and 1 from pumping and was longer in the Bathmate last night than just a few days ago. Occasional rest days don't hurt IMO, they allow the body time to repair uninterrupted. I was just happily surprised by the numbers I saw and was wondering how accurate they were.

Great to hear and I do agree! Sometimes a bit of rest is what the body (and the penis) needs in order to grow more and to expand more when training.
Keep on pumping and enjoying; I've read the other thread about your wife (IIRC) saying something about the whole pumping business, but all is well I think, the results will "speak!"

If the penis was muscles it'd be really easy to establish a routine with rest days and PE would be extremely common.
Yeah she said that she was going to post on Facebook that she has a husband who vacuums his cock. Whole thing was pretty funny (and will stay like that until she changes her mind cause the weather changed lol).

My experience is very similar (I was on vacation recently and upon my return I was able to reach past my previous best in The BM) so I seem to respond positively to a rest day or several. I do know that when I come-back from a few days away, I can't pump with anywhere near the same vigor as before...I really have to be careful and ease-into it.
I was also curious regarding the accuracy of the BM gauge, so I stuck it to a flat surface and pumped with The VV until the bellows were as close to 100% compressed as possible...the results were a bit disheartening...The BM was showing .375" longer than actual.

Their sizing guide is very difficult to understand but I think this kind of explains it. The size of the pump that they state max size is 8" there is the max gain above that of 1.5" so it should simply state that the pump can get you to 9.5"...it is very confusing guide. I think it is best to describe it like this:
X20 up to 6"
X30 up to 8.5"
X40 up to 9.5"
X50 up to 11"

With a goal of 7.5 EL I may never need anything bigger than the X30. That's good to know.
However I thought I read that you can use Fleshlight inserts in the Bathmate for the ultimate in edging work (and obviously amazing masturbation and orgasms). Don't you have to go up a size to do that though because of girth? I thought that's what I read and it's because the Fleshlight insert takes up a lot of space.
I'm not planning on buying a Fleshlight any time soon but I'd like to know for future knowledge in the event I do get one.

My goal is around the same or so, I think length wise I'm quite fine, but girth just feels lacking. (Although I got compliment a while ago as no need to grow bigger, from a woman who knows my usage of Bathmate.)
About the Fleshlight mod, I think it does fit inside the X30, girth wise at least, it does have a lot of "give." I can't do a test for the moment as my Fleshlight(s) are almost thousand miles away.
However, I would consider some cheaper clone as a variant, there are lot of pocket pussies on the market, Fleshlight is just the most profiled and marketed I think.
There are few members though who have tried the Fleshlight method, I just don't recall if they used X30 or X40, hopefully someone will chime in.
But my "advice" or tip is to check for the more inexpensive variants possibly, if money is tight. I could suggest Tenga from Japan, they should be available easily, price for the "one use" units ranges from 10-20 USD if I recall correctly, naturally you can use them several times when you clean it.
There's also the Friar Fige's Cockarmor thread, where certain kind of cockrings are utilized while using the Bathmate, can help especially with girth and possible gaiter bite; I think the gaiter bite might also halt some length gains.
Happy growing!

The Fleshlight is a popular one. I had a different Cyberskin toy before as well as a soft silicone toy. Cyberskin makes the difference even with its "maintenance" of having to powder it after washing.
I've heard about the "one use" Tenga ones. If one were so inclined they could set up a cart outside of a busy bar or club and sell them to guys going home alone. However it'd be better marketing if you used a pickup painted like the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill lol.
There's another thread about wrapping with thin ace bandage strip at the penis base instead of a cock ring and then using the Bathmate. I have yet to try it but I do want to see how it works for me. It's supposed to eliminate gaiter bite.

Every Brother should have a FleshLight, there is NO BETTER WAY to increase your stamina and destroy premature ejaculation. It also is a great way to take up space in an over size pump.
