Bathmate was officially launched in 2006 in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Back in 2004, Bathmate inventor John Oakes developed a hydrotherapy pump designed to help out a friend - realising that this pump delivered more than a few results, John got together with some associates to officially launch Bathmate as a company in 2006. Since then, they have become the world’s best-selling penis pump brand, with over a million units sold worldwide.
The founder of Bathmate, John Oakes holds a Higher National Certificate in Mechanical Engineering and he has over 35 years of experience in all aspects of automated engineering and manufacturing.
John Oakes' friend, the inspiration behind Bathmate, was a keen athlete and motorcycle rider who suffered a serious spinal injury which meant he could no longer gain and maintain an erection. To try and help him John looked at the range of conventional penis pumps on the market. Though some were quite good he was not totally convinced and, being a mechanical engineering designer, John decided there had to be a better means of delivering vacuum technology. Having done a lot of work in the field of hydraulics over the years he began to look at the penis pump from a new angle.
The human penis is, after all, a hydraulically operated organ, so why not surround the penis with warm water and generate a hydro-vacuum, thereby working in harmony with the penis. Putting pencil to drawing board, John came up with a few concept designs and over the next few years produced a few trial prototype samples. His friend was delighted with the results when he tested them. So, in effect, he invented the world’s first penis pump designed to be used specifically in water, creating a safe negative hydraulic pressure around the penis.
There are many benefits to using warm water; the most obvious is increased blood flow to the penis due to the warm water hydraulics and slow negative pressure that the hydropump creates. This makes for great results and generally gives you a greater feeling of sexual wellbeing and confidence. Another significant factor, the cornerstone of the success of the hydropump, is by using it during washing in the shower or bathtub it becomes part of your daily routine, making it convenient and fun to use. By incorporating the Bathmate into your daily washing routine John believes that you are helping to make yourself a more sexually healthy and happier person. As we all know, good sexual health is just as important a part of our life as members of society as other kinds of health.
The Bathmate is hand made by passionate and skilled operatives in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, using only the highest quality materials, including skin safe silicone, high strength polycarbonate and quality stainless steels. Bathmate uses high precision robots on the injection moulding process to remove and position the complex and difficult mouldings.
