How Do Penis Pumps Work?

What is a penis pump?

A cylindrical device with a pump mechanism used to create a vacuum surrounding the penis is called a penile pump, sometimes referred to as a vacuum erection device. More blood enters the penis as a result of this vacuum pressure, strengthening the erection.
A plastic cylinder that fits over your penis is the component of a penis pump. The base of it features a silicone or rubber seal that keeps everything airtight. It also features a quick-release valve to release the air and a pump, which can be either manual or motorized that removes air from the cylinder.
In order to aid sustain the erection, some also include a constriction ring that fits around the base of the penis after pumping.

Penis Pumps: Why Do People Use Them?

Penis pumps can be used as part of BDSM play, to improve pleasure and stamina, or to assist with erectile problems.
They can be utilized for individual or pair play, and some even employ them as training tools—though there’s only hearsay about any long-term benefits!
Here’s a little additional information about the many purposes for which individuals employ them:

Erectile dysfunction

A lot of people who suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) use penis pumps. An erection might be difficult to achieve or maintain in someone with ED. They may aid in boosting blood flow, which will make achieving and sustaining an erection easier. Many people use them as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with other forms of therapy because they are an inexpensive, non-invasive choice.
But if you have erectile dysfunction, you should always consult a doctor because there can be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.

Penis pumps for pleasure

They are also a fun tool for experimenting with and enjoying sex. While some find the enhanced sensitivity when the pump is removed to be enjoyable, others find the sensation of the vacuum pressure to be enjoyable on its own. To assist their erections to continue longer or be stronger, some people also like to utilize a pump.

BDSM play

When used by the dominant partner to tease their sub and make them particularly sensitive before other forms of stimulation, penis pumps can also be a pleasant addition to BDSM activity.

Can You Get a Bigger Penis by Pumping?

Regarding penis pumps and their potential to enlarge your penis, there is a lot of conflicting information available. Even while there may be anecdotal evidence, there isn’t any solid proof that you can grow permanently. They can provide you with more powerful, longer-lasting erections, but the effect is transient.

Different Penis Pump Types

Penis pumps come in three primary varieties: water/hydro, electric, and manual. They use a different pump mechanism, but otherwise, they have the same effect.

Here’s a bit more information about each type to help you decide which is most appropriate for you.

Electric:
At the touch of a button, a little motor in an electric penis pump generates a vacuum. The fact that you don’t actually need to pump anything makes this considerably easier on your hands! You can choose from a variety of speed and intensity levels on them, and some of them include display panels that let you know what setting you are on or even the pressure.

Hydro or water:
The penis pump is a different type of manual pump that produces pressure by using water instead of air. You can use them in the shower or bathtub to liven up your regular shower experience! While some find that utilizing water just feels good, others believe that it evenly distributes pressure.

Purchase Guide

There are several options available at various price points, ranging from low-cost penis pumps to more costly, high-tech models. But when choosing your pump, money isn’t the only factor to consider.

• High-quality Materials: Choose a pump constructed of materials that are durable enough to withstand frequent use. The ideal option is a silicone seal because it is non-porous and has a longer lifespan.
• Size: Small penis pumps and large penis pumps are available to fit a variety of penis sizes. The tube should be big enough to fit your penis comfortably and allow it to expand a little bit. To determine an appropriate size cylinder, you must measure your length and girth while standing.
• Pump mechanism: A manual pump can be your best option if you’re on a tight budget, want more control, or only use the pump occasionally. If you are looking for a frequent usage pump or have hand strength difficulties, an electric pump can be a better option.
• Reviews: To find out what other customers are saying about the performance and use of the pump, check out the reviews on Bedbible and the shop website.
• Additional features: Think about if you’d prefer an LCD screen or a vibrating penis pump for more enjoyment.

What Benefits and Drawbacks Come with Using a Penis Pump?

Here are some benefits and drawbacks of utilizing a penis pump in case you’re not sure if it’s the appropriate choice for you:

Benefits:

• Offer a non-invasive, drug-free treatment for erectile dysfunction
• May increase sensitivity and pleasure during sexual activity
• Provides an enjoyable opportunity to experiment with new feelings
• May cause your erection to feel more intense and swollen at the time of occurrence
• Some users report that it helps them stay stronger for longer
• Potential for more intense orgasms

Drawbacks:

• Short-term effects
• Tissue injury could result from over-pushing or disregarding safety precautions.
• A few people discover that their erection doesn’t feel as “natural.”
• People with certain medical conditions, such as circulatory or penile traumas, shouldn’t use it.

Can You Use Penis Pumps Safely?

As long as you follow the safety precautions and instructions, penis pumps are usually safe to use. If overused, they can, however, result in transient adverse effects like numbness, bruising, or discoloration. Particularly excessive pumping can result in harm or tissue damage.
Before utilizing a pump to treat erectile dysfunction or if you have any medical disorders affecting your genitalia or circulatory system, you should always see a doctor.

Safety Instructions:

It’s crucial to know how to operate your penis pump properly before you begin. Getting hurt is the last thing you want to happen!

1. Carefully read the instructions and learn how to operate the quick-release valve.
2. To gauge the strength, test it on a less delicate body part.
3. Start off slowly and raise the pressure little by little as you get more at ease and accustomed to the feeling.
4. Take care of your body and don’t overdo it. Use the quick-release valve and immediately cease pumping if you experience any pain.
5. Set session limits. The majority of manufacturers advise keeping your workouts between 15 and 20 minutes long to lower your chance of damage. Working your way up to longer sessions is how I suggest getting started.
6. To remove it, use the quick-release valve; do not remove it while the suction is still present.

Using a Penis Pump: A Guide

It’s crucial to remember that every penis pump is a little bit different, so before you start, always become familiar with the quick-release valve and pump mechanism.

Here are some basic instructions; for more information, see this penis pump usage guide.

Step 1: Put Lubricant on It
Both your penis and the seal at the cylinder’s base should be lubricated with water. In addition to improving the seal and lowering friction, this will improve comfort.

Step 2: Insertion
Put your penis within the tube of the pump. Verify that the pump is centered and that your body and the pump’s base make a tight seal. Before utilizing a water pump, make sure it is fully charged with water.

Step 3: pumping
Using a slow, gentle pump, begin to build a vacuum. In case you’re utilizing a manual pump, you must squeeze the trigger or bulb. You select the preferred setting for electric pumps. Usually, when using a hydro pump, you will press the apparatus up against your body.

Step 4: Observation
Pay close attention to your body’s signals and your own sensations when you pump. Although there should be pressure on you, it shouldn’t hurt. Use the quick-release valve to relieve some of the pressure if it is causing you any discomfort.

Step 5: Keep the erection going
After achieving the desired erection, you can support the erection by placing a stretchy cock ring or constriction ring on the base of your penis.

Step 6: Let Go
Once your session is over—it should last no more than fifteen to twenty minutes—use the release valve to lower the pressure. Once all of the vacuum has been released, remove the cylinder only then.

Step 7: Tidy Up
As directed by the manufacturer, thoroughly clean your pump, taking care not to wet any electrical components.
