Penis Pumps

Pump up your sexual prospects with a penis pump. The perfect tool for getting that extra bit of length, making sex more pleasurable, or dealing with erectile dysfunction.

What is a Penis Pump?

Penis pumps are also sometimes called a vacuum erection device (VED), a vacuum constriction device (VCD), or simply a vacuum penile pump. It consists of three parts — a plastic cylinder, a pump, and a constriction ring.

There are a few different types available, but they all serve the same purpose. By using suction, they draw blood into the penis to assist with gaining and maintaining an erection. This can also have the effect of temporarily increasing the size of the penis, due to the extra blood circulation.

Who Can Use a Penis Pump?

The biggest misconception related to penile pumps is that only older men use them. This cannot be further from the truth. In fact, many men use pumps for a variety of reasons. It’s just that older men with a diagnosis of erectile dysfunction commonly use these pumps to treat it.

Men might opt to use a penile pump is to combat the psychological effects of ED or if they believe their penis isn’t large enough to satisfy their partner. Although these pumps won’t lead to permanent long penis growth, they make the erection larger and more powerful, which might be what some men need to enjoy sexual intercourse fully.

In other words, men of all ages can use a vacuum erection device to boost their erection. In fact, some people even use it during foreplay!

What Do Penis Pumps Do?

Put simply, vacuum constriction devices are primarily used to achieve and maintain a bigger and stronger erection. In that sense, they do technically make the penis bigger, but only temporarily. With a little practice and correct continual use, they will lead to more powerful erections. Still, you are much more likely to experience an increase in girth rather than in length.

In other words, these pumps enlarge and strengthen the erection by pumping blood into the tissue and head of the penis.

How to Use a Penis Pump

Using a penis pump is a relatively simple process, but the steps you take may vary depending on the model you choose. Battery-powered models practically do all the work for you, whereas hand pumps allow you to manually adjust the pressure, giving you more control. Your pump may also come with or without a constriction ring. The purpose of this rubber ring is to keep the blood from leaving your penis. Utilizing the constriction ring may feel a bit awkward at first, but it will help you stay erect for longer periods of time.

To use your penis pump, follow these simple instructions:

• Before you start, trim or shave the pubic hair around the base of your penis. This will reduce the chance of hair getting tangled up in the device, and make it easier to great a good seal around your penis.
• Place the tube over the shaft of your penis, and make sure there is a tight seal against the skin of your pubic bone.
• Slowly start pumping, or turn the device on at a low setting. You should feel the suction creating a vacuum around your penis.
• Take your time increasing the pressure until it feels like your penis is fully engorged. If you feel any pain, stop straight away.
• Once fully erect, place the constriction ring around the base of your penis to help keep the blood in place and prolong your erection.

As straightforward as penis pumps may be, it’s still important not to overdo it. What we mean by this is that you should only use the pump two to three times a week and for a maximum of 15 minutes per session. Also, give your penis time to grow between each pump rather than going quickly and vigorously.

Choosing the Right Pump

As you’ve probably guessed, these pumps vary in size. Choosing the correct pump size is crucial, both to avoid injury and ensure maximum effectiveness. In other words, you have to be honest with yourself.

Choosing a pump that’s too large will likely apply too much pressure. This will not have the desired effect, and over-pumping may cause permanent damage. Conversely, if a cylinder is too small, it will fail to create enough pressure, so you won’t see any significant difference in your erection size.

Moreover, you can also use a penis pump cushion or a sleeve. Pressing the plastic cylinder to your skin isn’t the most comfortable feeling. Plus, pressing it too hard may cause bruising, making all subsequent uses somewhat painful. A cushion will alleviate potential discomfort and make the whole experience easier to endure.

Risks and Side Effects

Risks and unwanted side effects related to using a penis pump may include the following:

• Pain and bruising — Incorrect or overly frequent use of a pump may lead to painful injuries of the penis and bruising. We can’t stress this enough — no matter what, don’t overdo it.
• Petechiae — Sometimes, these pumps may cause blood vessels to burst. This manifests as small red dots under the skin. If you notice this, decrease the pumping frequency. If the issue persists, refrain from further use.
• Numbness and skin discoloration — This typically occurs when the constriction ring is too tight. In this case, stop using the pump until the numbness subsides and get a larger ring to avoid the issue in the future.
• Painful ejaculations or feeling your semen is “trapped” — You can alleviate this with a cutout of the constriction ring.
• Psychological effects and awkwardness — some men might feel extremely awkward having to use this aid before sex. However, ED is a medical condition, so you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about using a penile pump. Still, we strongly suggest discussing it with your partner before buying one.

However, in some instances, pumps are a no-go. As the device pumps blood into the penis, you should not use it if you’re on blood-thinning medications or have an increased risk of bleeding. Likewise, if you suffer from sickle cell anemia or a blood disorder of any kind, these vacuum pump devices are not a good idea. You should always consult your doctor and notify them of any medical conditions and medication you’re taking to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Penis Pumps and Erectile Dysfunction

Penis pumps are a means of combating erectile dysfunction without having to resort to medication or surgery.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is among the most common sex-related problems men of all ages face. Although commonly affecting men in their 40s, ED can occur at any age. It may also be linked to other medical conditions.

It is manifested as an inability to achieve and maintain an erection required to engage in sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction may occur for various reasons. These are commonly low testosterone levels, blood flow or nerve function problems, or as a side-effect of prostate surgery. What are your options if you’re suffering from ED?

Common treatments for this condition include oral medications, penis surgery, as well as more invasive methods. However, if you’re not keen on taking medication or it proves ineffective, and if you shudder at the thought of injecting alprostadil into your penis, a pump might be your best option.

Why Opt for a Penile Pump Instead of Other Methods?

As we’ve mentioned, penis vacuum is just one of many methods a man can use to overcome ED. They can be used in conjunction with oral medication, such as Viagra and Cialis, and are perfectly safe and extremely effective. In our opinion, you should always give pumps a shot before considering riskier, more invasive methods such as penile injections and plastic surgery (penile implants).

These treatments may cause unwanted side effects, meaning a cock pump is a lot safer alternative. Other reasons to choose a pump include:

• Penile Pumps Work — With regular use, most men will be able to maintain an erection for sufficient periods of time.
• They are less risky than other ED treatments — They pose less risk than other methods when used correctly. It’s vital to stick to the instructions and refrain from “over-pumping.”
• They’re noninvasive — If you’re suffering from ED or have trouble maintaining an erection for longer periods of time, you should always try an erection pump before opting for more invasive methods.
• You can use them with oral medication — Although we don’t suggest using a pump if you’ve had a penis implant or are shooting alprostadil injections, there’s no reason not to use them together with oral medication.
• They are much more affordable — Surely, we don’t need to highlight that surgical methods and injections, as treatments for ED, are rather expensive. After purchasing a cock pump, this method is far more budget-friendly than all other alternatives.
• They might help you regain normal erectile function — Following prostate surgery or radiation therapy in case of prostate cancer, continual use of a pump might help you regain the ability to get a natural erection.
