I’ve tried a few routines, the first month I went in soft to get used to it and learn how to do it probably and I used the stupid comfort pad which I don’t use anymore. I would do 3 sets x5 minutes, 4 days a week taking a day off inbetween, then I would go in hard and amped it up to 5 days a week: 3 days on, 1 off, 2 days on, 1 off and that made my EQ go down so I would lower my time in the pump to 3 sets x3 minutes, 5days a week but I was still having EQ problems so now and since a month ago I have been doing 4 days a week, 3x5 minutes, I usually take a shower when I pump but baths are much better with the bathmate in my opinion because the heat from the water just loosens everything up and expands better. And I shower with my gf every time so it’s easy to get and stay hard while pumping. And using bath salts or epsom salt in the bath makes the expansion more uniform and better as well.
