Does the Bathmate pump really increase length and girth?

[Steve5231]

Just wondering. Does it really work?

The general consensus is that vacuum pumping (whether air vacuum or water vacuum) can help regain size lost to atrophy if the atrophy is recent.

It is also commonly accepted that increasing size to greater than you were born with (your natural genetic code) is unlikely or at least extremely difficult. The Tunica Albuginea which provides the erection is made of tough, fibrous tissues which are not elastic (if they were elastic, the erections would be, too, and bend easily). Over time, there is some speculation that the tissues can stretch a bit, but we are looking at months or years to get measurable change.

Remember, what you read on the internet from the manufacturer counts as advertising and hyperbolic claims which sell units are hard for a seller to resist making.

So, my thought is "Yes and no". Not as much as the seller claims and not as easily, either. But with CARE (permanent damage can easily be done by overdoing the vacuum pumping, whether air or water) a small amount of size and elasticity restoration can occur, and maybe even a little bit of increase, but not much of that.

I have been pumping for penise enhancement, as well as for ED, for over eight years. I have increased my girth by over one inch. However, I don’t believe pumping had much of an effect on gaining length.

I lost 1.5 inch in length with Peyronies, with VED and hand massage i have regained all of the 1.5 inch in length, i have also gained a extra inch on my girth, so for me i would say, you can regain length and increase your girth more than what you had.

Maybe, just maybe a little girth. It's hard to be sure unless you take precise measurements starting before 1st ever use. Even then it doesn't take long for any perceived growth to return to "normal" if you quit pumping for any length of time.

However, it DOES provide a nice illusion because of the magnifying effect of the water! Water pumps are a somewhat gentler way of pumping for ed and exercise. Even that can disappear if you use the vacu vin mod to increase the vacuum.

I find it convenient to use in the shower. What's not to like; you take daily showers and add a pumping routine and it takes little to no extra time or effort and you don't have to worry about getting the pump wet.

And washing the pump is convenient, too.

Note so much if you use a special pumping lube to help the vacuum. It tends to gum up that fiddly valve and it is a pain to take apart, clean, and reassemble.
I'm thinking Mrs. Another's dishwasher would work but I value what's left of my time on Earth too much to have her catch me washing my dick pump in her dish washer!
