Blood flow and circulation

Bathmates award winning hydropumps are designed to create blood flow and circulation and flush harmful toxins from the penis, helping the user get a stronger, longer lasting erection in a completely safe and controlled manner.

Normal blood flow is the key to healthy erections. When you are in a state of arousal the brain sends messages to the penis which increases the blood flow to the tissue and fills the corpora cavernosa.
High blood pressure can make this act more difficult and over time can damage the blood vessels which will negatively impact the blood flow and circulation.

You are what you eat

Avoid foods that can potentially higher your blood pressure such as packaged or processed meats, frozen or pre-packed meals, pastries, doughnuts and fast foods.

Having a diet low in sodium and rich in foods containing potassium, calcium and magnesium may help prevent or normalise high blood pressure.
