How To Use A Penis Pump

BY ASK AMY

Why do people use penis pumps?

So you’ve decided it’s time to pump up your pleasure, but you might not know where to start. Here is everything you need to know, so you can dive into the world of penis pumps with confidence and ease!

There’s a number of reasons people may want to use a penis pump. For some, using a pump is a way to achieve a larger size over time or to increase sensitivity.

For others, it may be more about wanting to improve or prolong their erection for either their own self-confidence, or their partner’s satisfaction.

The reason you may want to use a penis pump is entirely personal

In fact, doctors may recommend penis pumps for various patients who might have trouble achieving or maintaining erections for a myriad of medical reasons including erectile dysfunction.

A pump offers a safer and more affordable option than other treatments, with quick results.

If you are using a penis pump for medical purposes however, it is important to always consult your healthcare professional about your situation to make sure this choice is right for you.

How does a penis pump work?

Simply put, pumps work by way of vacuum suction within a cylinder, to encourage blood flow to the penis once inserted. This causes the blood vessels to fill and swell, effectively causing the penis to become erect.

An erection from a penis pump generally lasts for 10-15 minutes, and you can prolong this for up to 30 minutes with the use of a cock ring.

When using a pump for growth, it’s best to think of this like going to the gym for a workout. Like other muscles in your body, your penis needs regular training to build up strength.

Similar to weight training, if you do this once your muscles will only be visibly pumped for the short term. However, if you go regularly, you will see longer lasting results!

Generally, within three months users will see an increase in girth from a 1/2 inch or more, with length increasing over a similar period of time.

Types of penis pumps explained…

If you’ve decided a pump is the product for you, luckily there’s plenty of options of available to suit every need and budget.

Pumps use either air or water to create a vacuum and therefore suction, in turn giving users the results they are seeking.

Traditional pumps using air are operated with a trigger handle or medical-style squeeze ball to manually increase pressure within the cylinder. These pumps often feature a pressure gauge to keep track of the pressure that works and feels best for you, while making sure you aren’t overdoing it. This Beginner Penis Pump by Shots Toys includes a bonus silicone cock ring, and uses a trusty pistol grip to increase pressure. Another great beginner-friendly pump is the Adam and Eve Starter Penis Pump, which features a manual pull handle for increased control. If you’re after an affordable squeeze ball device, the High Rize Beginner Penis Pump is another great option for those just starting out.

There’s also the option of a modern electronic pump, which automatically creates suction with the press of a button. These often also include either a traditional or digital pressure gauge. Wild Secrets customers love the nsnovelties Rechargeable Powerhouse Pump for its powerful and easy-to-use design.

Bathmate is a premium pump brand which creates a vacuum suction using water rather than air, with a plethora of size options to ensure the right fit for you. The science behind this is that unlike air, water is more consistent, and you get an even cushion around the penis. To read more about Bathmate pumps, including how to use one, check out our blog post here. A popular option is the Bathmate Hydromax7 (X30) Premium Penis Pump, or the Bathmate HydroXtreme7 (Hydromax Xtreme X30) Penis Pump & Kit which includes a user-friendly handball pump and a handy cleaning kit.

Bathmate create pumps for all sizes.

How to use a penis pump

There are two methods for using a penis pump, depending on whether your goal is for achieving a stronger erection, or if you’re looking to increase your size.

If you’re using a pump for erection or short-term purposes, follow these simple steps:

  1. Apply water-based lubricant over the shaft and base of your penis as well as just inside the opening of the cylinder, to assist in creating an airtight seal.
  2. Place the pump over your penis, as close to the pelvis as you can to create the seal between your body and the cylinder.
  3. Pump until your desired pressure is achieved, usually indicated by the head of your penis lifting from the bottom of the cylinder as you become erect. Take a deep breath for a few seconds, and repeat. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Once your desired erection is achieved, remove the pump. You can also place a cock ring around the base of penis to assist in maintaining your erection for activity.

Depending what results you want, your pumping technique will vary.

If you’re using a pump for growth, the below steps can be completed no more than once per day, five days per week:

  1. Apply water-based lubricant over the shaft and base of your penis as well as just inside the opening of the cylinder, to assist in creating an airtight seal.
  2. Place the pump over your penis, as close to the pelvis as you can to create the seal between your body and the cylinder.
  3. Pump until your desired pressure is achieved, usually indicated by the head of your penis lifting from the bottom of the cylinder as you become erect. Take a deep breath for a few seconds, and repeat.
  4. Hold this pressure for a maximum of 15 minutes, before removing the pump.

Penis pump pro-tips

Like learning any new task, it may take time to achieve your desired results and technique. Our advice? Don’t give up! Practice and patience are absolutely essential, both in using the pump itself and finding your own routine.

Here are some top tips to help you on your pumping journey:

  • Measure up! Before you purchase your pump, measure yourself preferably while erect. You’ll want to get a pump that allows an additional 1-2 inches for comfortable growth inside.
  • If you’re having trouble creating an airtight seal, try shaving your pubic hair. This creates a smoother and easier surface for the cylinder opening.
  • Find a routine that works for you. Experiment with what gives you the best results, whether that be standing, sitting, or after a shower.
  • Keep yourself and your pump squeaky clean, by washing it after use for hygiene purposes. Wild Secrets recommends a quality toy cleaner, though you can also use warm soapy water that is suited for sensitive skin or intimate areas.
  • Pumps often come with a silicone sleeve for comfort, which is why we recommend toy compatible and water-based lubricants to prevent damage to your device.
  • Take your time. If you pump too quickly, there is a risk of experiencing bruising or blisters. If this occurs, refrain from pumping until they subside and consult a medical professional if you are concerned.
  • If you have trouble maintaining an erection following your pumping session, a cock ring is a great way to prolong your results. However, these should not be worn for longer than 30 minutes.
  • Cease use immediately if you notice pain and if symptoms persist please seek medical assistance.
