Bathmate Shower Strap and Pump Timer: How They Work Together

Learn how to set up and use the Bathmate Shower Strap and Pump Timer together for a hands-free, perfectly timed shower pump session.
Quick answer
Use the Bathmate Shower Strap to hang your pump hands-free around your neck, and set the Bathmate Pump Timer for 3-minute green work intervals and 2-minute red breaks. Together they let you pump in the shower without holding the device or watching a clock.
Why pair the strap and timer instead of using either alone
The Shower Strap frees your hands so you can wash and rinse while the pump stays in place. The Pump Timer replaces guesswork with light and sound cues, so you don’t need a phone or watch in a wet environment. Used together, they turn a shower pump session into a structured routine that fits your normal washing time.
Neither accessory changes how the pump itself works. The strap only supports the device; the timer only tracks intervals. If you prefer a completely manual session, you can skip one or both, but you will need to hold the pump or count time yourself.
What the timer signals actually mean
The Bathmate Pump Timer uses a green light for a 3-minute active period and a red light for a 2-minute break. It also beeps, so you can follow the session even if you cannot see the light clearly without glasses. The timer is waterproof and designed for bath or shower use.
The strap is comfortable and adjustable, and it includes a measurement guide so you can track progress over time. Because the strap sits around your neck, keep the pump close to your body and avoid letting it swing or pull on the tubing.
Step-by-step: setting up and using both accessories
- Attach the Shower Strap to your pump: Slip the strap onto the end of your Bathmate pump as directed, then adjust the neck loop so the pump hangs comfortably at shower height. Check that the strap is not twisted and that the pump is secure before you turn on the water. A twisted or loose strap can let the pump swing; adjust it before you get wet.
- Set up the Pump Timer within reach: Place the waterproof timer where you can see or hear it from your shower position. Confirm the green and red lights are visible or that the beep is audible over the water. If you wear glasses, rely on the beep rather than squinting. Test the timer’s beep before you start so you are not surprised mid-session.
- Start the green 3-minute active interval: Begin pumping when the timer shows green. Use the hands-free strap to keep the pump in place while you wash or rinse. Do not exceed the 3-minute active period; the timer will signal when to stop. If the pump feels uncomfortable or loses suction, stop and reseat it rather than pushing through the interval.
- Take the red 2-minute break: When the timer turns red, stop pumping and use the break to relax or adjust the strap. Keep the pump supported by the strap but avoid active pressure during the break. The timer will beep again when the next green interval begins. Use the break to check the strap’s measurement guide if you are tracking progress.
- Repeat intervals as needed and finish safely: Continue alternating green and red intervals for your planned session. When you are done, remove the pump and strap carefully, then clean and dry both accessories according to the manufacturer’s instructions. End the session if you feel discomfort or numbness at any point, and do not try to make up missed time.
