Bathmate Question? - by: dq139

I recently started using the Bathmate with an erection, and since my dick curves upwards significantly when im hard, It ends up being a pain in the ass & almost impossible to get in the bathmate at 95 to %100 erect...Do I need to be %100 erect to make gains when pumping? or could I just use a %80 boner and still see erect girth gains?

thanks for the help!
