How to Use Bathmate Hydro Pump
Recommended Use
The Bathmate Hydropump is an external penile rigidity device that uses vacuum technology to create sufficient penile rigidity required for sexual intercourse. Please read the following instructions carefully.
In order to obtain optimum benefit from the Hydropump and to avoid inappropriate use which may cause discomfort, you are strongly advised to follow the instructions as outlined below:
In order to obtain optimum benefit from the Hydropump and to avoid inappropriate use which may cause discomfort, you are strongly advised to follow the instructions as outlined below:
Before First Use
- Wash your hydro pump using warm, clean soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Ensure your pubic area is reasonably well-trimmed. This will facilitate the vacuum seal against the pelvic seat.
- A relaxation period of a few minutes in a warm shower or bath is required to allow the testicles to soften, allowing them to remain free from the sealing area thereby avoiding any discomfort.
- Apply only the minimum amount of vacuum pressure necessary to achieve an erection. Excessive vacuum pressure and over-vigorous pumping may result in bruising or injury to the penis.
- To benefit the most in erection hardness and optimal blood flow, it is best to remove the device every 2-3 minutes and allow the penis to retract.
- Massage the penis in the flaccid state for 2 minutes, then re-apply the device and repeat the process. You should do this a maximum of 3 times in any 15 minute session.
- Do not use the Hydropump for more than 15 minutes in any period of 24 hours.
How the Hydropump works
The Hydropump functions by creating a vacuum seal against the pubic area of the user, enclosing the flaccid penis. When the pump is pushed downwards against the body, the bellows compress and water is ejected from the end of the pump via the open valve. When released the bellows expand and the valve closes, creating a partial vacuum inside the pump.
This causes the penis to expand and fill with blood, creating an erection. Re-pumping increases the vacuum, and so increases the size of the erection. The user controls the level of vacuum by depressing the valve inwards against the spring, opening the valve, and allowing air or water back into the body of the pump, thereby partially or fully releasing the vacuum. The vacuum in Bathmate Hydro pumps is created by the elastic recoil strength of the bellows gaiter pump, so the user cannot exceed the safe partial vacuum levels allowed under European and USA medical regulations.

Important
The black pip on the top of the valve is moved by pressing and holding the valve closed. The closed position should only be used whilst filling the Hydropump with water in the shower. At all other times, the black pip should be in the open position. Failing to ensure that the black pip is in the open position will prevent the Hydropump from operating correctly.
Using your Hydropump in the Shower
- 1. You may use the shower strap by sliding the connector onto the Hydropump leaving your hands free to wash.
- 2. Relax in the Shower for a few minutes.
- 3. Push and hold the black pip in the closed position with your finger and invert the Hydropump under the shower head until full of water.
- 4. Whilst holding the black pip in the closed position, place the Hydropump over your flaccid penis tight up to your pelvic seat. The chamfer can be positioned facing either upwards or downwards depending on your level of comfort.
- 5. Make a seal against your body, ensuring that the positioning is comfortable and that your testicles are well clear.
- 6. With the Hydropump angled slightly upwards, open the valve by releasing the black pip and commence pumping.
- 7. Ensure that the black pip is in the central (open) position when pumping.
- 8. Pump slowly and evenly until the bellows remain depressed, indicating that optimal vacuum has been achieved.
- 9. Ensure you follow the recommended instructions.
- 10. To remove the Hydropump, release the vacuum by depressing the valve cap inwards to activate the quick-release mechanism and slide the Hydropump off your penis.
Using your Hydropump in the Bath
- 1. Relax in the bathtub for a few minutes.
- 2. Fill the Hydropump with the bathwater.
- 3. Place the Hydropump over your flaccid penis tight up to your pelvic seat with the black pip in the open position. The chamfer can be positioned facing either upwards or downwards depending on your level of comfort.
- 4. Make a seal against your body, ensuring that the positioning is comfortable and that your testicles are well clear.
- 5. With the Hydropump angled slightly upwards, ensure that the black pip is in the open position and commence pumping.
- 6. Ensure that the black pip is in the central open position when pumping.
- 7. Pump slowly and evenly until the bellows remain depressed, indicating that optimal vacuum has been achieved.
- 8. Ensure you follow the recommended instructions.
- 9. To remove the Hydropump, release the vacuum by depressing the valve cap inwards to activate the quick-release mechanism and slide the Hydropump off your penis.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Wash out your Hydropump with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Allow your Hydropump to dry and store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
