What are penis pumps?

Penis pumps are devices that use the power of vacuum to help men get and maintain an erection. The vacuum can be produced with the help of air or water. For this reason, we will distinguish two types of penis pumps: air-based and water-based. Sometimes you can see penis pumps under the name of vacuum devices or vacuum pumps. Is the same thing.

What is a penis pump for?

The main purpose for which penis pumps are used is to treat erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to have or maintain a strong erection. Because the device is a non-invasive method of treating erectile dysfunction and has no possible side effects (like some pills, for example), the use of penis pumps is quite common.

Urologists may recommend a penis pump to help men suffering from ED (erectile dysfunction), which makes the potential of these devices simply amazing.

How to use a penis pump?

First, let’s see how a penis pump looks like. A penis pump usually consists of three segments.

• A cylinder (tube) into which the penis is inserted.
• A manual or battery-powered device that creates vacuum inside the tube.
• A ring that can be placed at the base of the penis after the penis is erect, in order to keep the erection for as long as possible.

Using a penis pump is quite simple. The penis is inserted into the tube and then vacuum is created around the penis, by operating a mechanism specific to each pump.

You will see that once the vacuum intensifies, the penis gets erect. This is because a lot of blood irrigates the penis through the pressure of the vacuum. After a few minutes, you will notice that the penis is larger and the erection firmer. At this point, you can remove the penis from the tube.

Optionally, to keep the blood in the penis and the erection strong, a ring can be attached to its base, the so-called constriction ring. But be careful not to use the ring for more than 30 minutes, it can cause serious harm to the penis.

As you can see, the procedure is simple and hassle-free, and penis pumps are among the safest methods to treat erectile dysfunction.

Air based or water based penis pumps?

We recommend Bathmate pumps, which are water based. The advantage of using water is that the user has a softer sensation and the water has a higher traction power around the penis. Overall, it seems that the experience is more pleasant when using water instead of air.

Who should use a penis pump?

Anyone can use penis pumps to potentiate and extend the erection, if they feel that the erection is not as it was before. Those suffering from a moderate form of erectile dysfunction are recommended to use these devices, because they have proven to be very effective.

What are the best penis pumps?

Any pump which is abiding to the medical regulations of the EU or the USA is safe to use. For example, we recommend Bathmate water-based pumps, made in the UK. The advantage of water vs. air is that the water will provide more pleasant sensations but also much greater safety during use + better results.
