Bathmate versus Penomet

The Penomet hydro pump hasn’t been around for as long though it is slowly gaining in popularity. One of the main advantages the Penomet has is that it is offered in just one size so you don’t have to worry about getting the right one. That being said, that can also be a disadvantage because hydro pumps are known to become less effective when the size of the penis is too small relative to the size of the cylinder.

In that regards the Bathmate allows for a better “fit” that is more likely to help you get the most out of your sessions. Furthermore, if you choose wisely it’s unlikely you’ll have to worry about having to upgrade to a larger unit.

Another difference between the 2 pumps is that the Penomet comes with interchangeable “gaitors” which are simply the rubberized portion that attaches to the bottom of the cylinder and is pressed against your pelvis when in use. These gaitors come with different rigidities that are color-coded for easier identification.

The intent in having multiple gaitors is to be able to create different pressure levels within the cylinder and in that way have a more varied workout. For anyone who has done any weight training, the concept is very similar to increasing or decreasing the amount of weight you’re using during sets. The makers of Penomet claim that the ability to modify vacuum pressure during a session leads to faster results.

This may be true but it’s debatable that you really need to have interchangeable gaitors to get the same effect. The Bathmate gaitor only has one tension level but on the other hand nothing stops the user from pumping out more water to increase the inner pressure at any time. This can be done with any of their models but is even easier when using the XX30 or XX40 that come with a hand bulb that makes it quick and simple to make the slightest changes in pressure.

One has to consider that it may become tiresome for some to be continually changing gaitors during the course of a session, especially if they can achieve the same effect by simply releasing some air through the valve (to decrease pressure) or pumping a few times or squeezing a hand bulb (to increase it).
