Your new guide to penis pumps

Yes, penis pumps work for most people - at least for what they are intended for, which may not match the way a product is advertised or your expectations.

What can a penis pump do?

Let's start with what they can't do, which is give you a bigger penis - contrary to what some internet articles might promise. What they can do is increase blood flow to your penis to help you achieve or maintain an erection so you can have penetrative sex. Sure, you can gain a few inches of extra length with a pump, but it's a temporary gain.

For someone with erectile dysfunction (ED), penis pumps are cheaper and generally safer than other options when used correctly. They can also be used along with erectile dysfunction medications such as Viagra. Penile pumps have also been shown to be effective in preserving erectile dysfunction after prostate surgery and radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

How it works?

A penile pump works by using suction to draw blood into the penis. The blood fills the blood vessels in your penis, and causes them to dilate so that the penis is - temporarily - bigger and harder. A cock ring, or cockring, is usually placed around the base of the penis to help keep blood in the penis and keep an erection longer.

It's safe?

For most men, yes. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), using a penis pump or other external rigidity device can worsen penile conditions such as priapism.
Too much air pressure in the cylinder can also cause light bleeding under the skin's surface. For this reason, penis pumps may not be right for you if:

• you have a blood disorder
• you have a history of blood clots
• take blood thinners

How to know which type of pump is best?

The pump you are going to choose must have a vacuum limiter. This helps control the pressure in the cylinder so it doesn't get too high and potentially hurt your penis.

You should consider your penis size when buying a pump or tension ring (if not included with your pump). Most kits are one-size-fits-all, but if your penis is much smaller or larger than average, you should choose accordingly.

How is it used?

Some products have more options than others, but the basic function is the same. Here's the gist:

• You put a tube over your penis.
• It pumps the air, using the manual or electric pump connected to the tube. Then, you create a vacuum effect.
• Once it is erect, you must remove the bomb.
• You can place a cockring around the base of the penis to help maintain an erection.

Are there any precautions I should take?

Yea! Taking the following precautions can help make your experience safer and help you get the best results from your device:
Get your waxing up to date! There's nothing worse for an erection than your bomb clinging to rebel hairs and ripping them off. Having short hair or no hair will help you to have a better seal with the skin.

You must use the pump as instructed. Even though it seems pretty self-explanatory, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Do not use the cockring for more than 30 minutes. Cutting off blood flow to the penis for too long can cause damage. Cockrings should not remain on the penis for more than 30 minutes.

Have lubricant available. Apply a little lubricant to the base of the penis, as well as around the end of the cylinder, to create an airtight seal. The lubricant will also make it easier to slide the tension ring in and out.

How long does the effect last?

Usually around 30 minutes, but each person is different. Factors such as your level of arousal and the way you use the pump can also influence the duration of the effects.

How often can you use it?

It depends on your situation and comfort level. Most people can safely use it several times a day if necessary, as long as they use it correctly.
