A penis pump, also known as a vacuum erection device, simulates the effect of an erection by drawing blood into the organ with negative pressure. This makes the penis temporarily erect and larger in size. It’s an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction and is especially helpful for men who experience problems getting or maintaining an erection during sexual activity.

A penis pump , which can be either manual or battery-operated, is attached to the end of a flexible tube that fits over the penis. A constriction ring, which can be either fixed or adjustable, is placed around the base of the penis once the pump creates an erection. Once the pump is removed, the ring tightens to maintain the erection for a few minutes.

Instructions on How to Use a Penis Pump

Choosing a penis pump can feel overwhelming given the many options on the market, from basic hand pumps to electric pumps with smart motors and strokers. Regardless of which one you choose, experts recommend using a water-based lubricant to reduce friction and ensure the best fit, and shaving public hair in the area for a cleaner seal (and to prevent pubic hair from getting caught in the ring).

When shopping for a penis pump, look for options with a clear cylinder so you can see your progress, as well as a precise pressure gauge. Zero Tolerance Toys’ Pump It Up features a soft TPE entry that removes for easy cleaning and four suction modes for customizing your pumping experience, while the LA PUMP Basic Pump is well-known for its quick results and user-friendly design.
