If you’ve already got yourself a Bathmate Hydro, HydroMax, or HydroExtreme pump, congrats – you’re holding one of the most powerful water-based penis pumps around. However, many people overlook the significant improvement that can be achieved by adding the right accessories.
Want to go hands-free in the shower? There’s a fix for that. Want your sessions to feel more intense? Covered. Struggling with pressure comfort, or maintaining a hard enough erection after pumping? Sorted.
In this guide, I’m breaking down the five best Bathmate accessories that are worth it. The tools that make pumping easier, more comfortable, and a whole lot more fun.
If you want to see what the Bathmate accessories look like and how to use them, please watch my unboxing and demonstration video below:

1. HydroVibe: Best for Boosting Sensation!
Let’s kick things off with the HydroVibe – easily the most extra of all the accessories. This bad boy is a vibrating silicone ring that slips over the bellows of your Bathmate pump (demonstrated in the below image) and brings along two rechargeable bullet vibes for the ride. It’s not just about function here; this one’s about turning your hydro sessions into something a bit more… tingling.
Why We Love It
The HydroVibe didn’t just make my pumping more effective – it made it feel damn good. Once I was sealed in and full of warm water, flicking on the vibes added a subtle but very real buzz that traveled down the shaft and made things that little bit more exciting. The sensation helps with blood flow, sure, but it also turns a standard session into a mini reward. Bonus: the vibes feel good on your balls if you angle it right.
Features
- Two USB-rechargeable bullet vibrators
- Medical-grade silicone ring
- Fits most Bathmate pumps
- Fully waterproof
Pros and Cons
For the HydroVibe, the biggest perk is the added pleasure. It genuinely transforms the pumping experience from clinical to fun, especially if you like some vibration with your vascular gains. It’s waterproof, body-safe, and fits easily over your device, making it one of the most satisfying add-ons you can get.
The bullets aren’t synced, so getting them to buzz in harmony is a bit of a manual job. It’s a bit of a mood killer when one vibe starts pulsing and the other is stuck on cruise control. Charging time is on the long side, too, so don’t wait until the last minute if you’re planning a special solo session.

2. Cushion Rings: Best for Comfort and Pressure Control!
Next up: the Cushion Rings. These soft, skin-safe foam inserts sit at the base of your Bathmate Hydromax or HydroXtreme pump and basically give your pelvis a little hug while locking everything else in place. They’re designed not just for comfort, but to add an extra layer of security while you pump.
Why We Love It
One major bonus I noted is they completely block your testicles from accidentally slipping into the chamber, which can happen once in a blue moon (and is about as fun as it sounds). With the rings in place, you’ve got a sealed-off setup that’s way more reassuring during those deep, full-pressure sessions. During testing, they also molded well to my body, helped improve suction, and just generally made the whole experience more comfortable (this is especially good if you’re new to pumping or going for longer stretches).
Each pack includes two rings to accommodate different girths, so you’re not stuck trying to jam yourself into the wrong size. And with five total ring sizes available to suit various Bathmate pump models, you can get the perfect fit for your specific gear.
Features
- Built for the Hydromax and HydroXtreme ranges
- Prevents testicle slippage entirely
- Comes with 2 ring sizes per pack for a better fit
- Made from soft, skin-safe, body-conforming foam
- Available in 5 sizes to match different Bathmate models
Pros and Cons
The Cushion Rings shine when it comes to comfort and safety. They create a better seal, ease the pressure on your body, and most importantly, stop any chance of your balls slipping into the pump. They mold to your shape and feel supportive, especially during longer or higher-pressure sessions.
The downside? Because they soften the contact point, they can slightly reduce the pressure and make the pump feel a bit looser in water. And yes, they might eat into your size a bit – but comfort counts, too.
They also take a moment to dry out and clean properly, especially if you’re swapping them in and out between sessions.
3. Pump Holder: Best for Hands-Free Use & Storage!
Moving on to the Bathmate Pump Holder, which is exactly what it sounds like: a handy little throne for your pump. This is the unsung hero of the accessory line – not sexy, not vibrating, but weirdly satisfying to use.
Why We Love It
If you’ve ever tried to balance a water-filled Bathmate on the edge of a sink or propped against your shampoo bottle, you already know why this is helpful. The Pump Holder did a good job keeping the setup tidy, preventing accidental spills, and doubled as a drying rack. It also prevented my toy from rolling off the bench and doing a slow, humiliating death roll across the tiles.
Features
- Super ergonomic hook-type holder that’s custom-made for Bathmate penis pumps
- Fits all models from the brand
- Minimalist and discreet
Pros and Cons
The Pump Holder is all about practicality. It keeps your setup neat, gives you a dedicated spot for drying or storing your device, and prevents awkward spills or floor-rolls mid-session. It’s one of those accessories you don’t realize you need until you use it.
Please note that it only works on flat, dry surfaces. And while it’s super handy, it doesn’t directly enhance your pump performance. More of a background MVP than a game-changer.
4. Power Rings: Best for Maintaining Erections Post-Pump
Here comes the Power Rings – your post-pump backup crew. These stretchy cock rings are made from Bathmate’s signature Elastomex blend, which is flexible enough for easy use, but still firm enough to give you real pressure where it counts. Whether you’re looking to lock in your gains, boost your stamina, or just take things up a notch in the pleasure department, these rings have your back (or… base).
Why We Love It
The Bathmate Power Rings aren’t just here to look pretty – they actually helped maintain my erection after a pump session, giving me stronger orgasms, and added a little edge to my play. The three unique designs each bring their flavor:
- Gladiator: With three interior nubs, it gives targeted pressure and surprise stimulation no matter how it’s positioned.
- Barbarian: A smooth, beginner-friendly ring with max surface contact – simple, tight, and reliable.
- Spartan: The tightest fit of the three, with a geometric octagonal design that grips hard and holds longer.
If you’ve never used a cock ring before, don’t stress. These are softer and easier to slide on than most, thanks to their flexibility. Just slip one on when you’re flaccid or semi-hard and let the ring do its thing.
Features
- Made from Bathmate’s Elastomex blend
- Three distinct models: Gladiator (1.77″ x 0.79″), Barbarian (1.97″ x 0.79″), Spartan (1.77″ x 0.79″)
- Reusable, flexible, body-safe
- Available as individual rings or a Power Ring 3-Pack
Pros and Cons
The Power Rings do exactly what they promise – they help you stay harder for longer. They’re flexible, body-safe, and offer three different styles depending on how intense you want the grip or stimulation to be. Great for locking in gains and ramping up post-pump fun.
Downside? They’re tight – like really tight, and there’s no adjustability. If you’re new to cock rings, go easy and test what feels right. The lack of sizing options might be limiting for some users.
5. Pump Timer: Best for Consistency and Goal Tracking
Finishing strong with the Bathmate Pump Timer – a small, clever tool that makes a surprisingly big difference. It’s waterproof, attachable, and built specifically for guiding your pump sessions with light and sound. In other words, it’s the coach you didn’t know your dick needed.
Why We Love It
The Pump Timer isn’t just for Type-A personalities. It was a great help with following the recommended routine with precision: green lights for 3-minute pumping, red lights for 2-minute rest, and a satisfying little beep to let you know when time’s up. No phone. No watch. And no glasses. Just you, your pump, and a smart little timer that knows when to give it a rest.
It’s designed to work in the shower or bath without issue, with a waterproof build and a suction cup that sticks like glue to your tiles or mirror. I also found out that I could attach it directly to the pump for those who prefer to keep things close and personal.
Features
- Visual + audible alerts (green = pump, red = rest)
- Waterproof for shower or bath use
- Can attach directly to your Bathmate pump
- Simple, user-friendly interface
- No phone or glasses required
Pros and Cons
The Pump Timer nails what it sets out to do: it keeps your sessions on track without needing to juggle your phone, smartwatch, or mental math. It sticks firmly in the shower, gives you a clear visual cue (green for go, red for rest), and throws in a helpful beep so you don’t have to squint at the clock with suds in your eyes. It’s low-effort, waterproof, and genuinely handy if you’re trying to stick to the recommended Bathmate rhythm without turning it into a science project.
The downside? It’s not exactly smart-tech sexy. There’s no app, no history tracking, no sync to your progress – just lights, beeps, and vibes (the good kind come separately). If you’re the kind of person who likes data charts, progress graphs, and gamified feedback, this might feel a bit too basic. But if you’re after a reliable little coach that tells you when to pump and when to chill, it does that job well.
Is HydroVibe the Test Winner?
If you’re chasing feel-good vibes (literally), the HydroVibe is the best Bathmate accessory. It’s the only accessory here that I found adding actual pleasure to the process. If you’re into sensation, it’s well worth the price and prep.
That said, I found the Cushion Rings to be underrated. If you’re pumping regularly and starting to feel a bit raw around the edges, they’ll smooth things over. And the Power Rings? Chef’s kiss if you like to transition straight from pump time to playtime.
Happy vibing!
