The use of penis pumps for penis enlargement is a method considered by many men. It is claimed that these pumps can enlarge the penis and improve sexual performance. However, there are also concerns about the effectiveness and potential risks of this method. In this article, we will look at the effectiveness and potential risks of penis enlargement using penis pumps.
What is a penis pump?
A penis pump, also known as a vacuum pump or vacuum erection device, is a medical device used to create or support an erection. It consists of a tube (cylinder) that fits over the penis and a mechanism that creates a vacuum.
How does a penis pump work?
A penis pump works on the principle of vacuum. Here is a step-by-step explanation of how it is normally used:
1. Placement: The penis pump consists of a transparent tube (also called a cylinder) that fits over the penis. It is gently placed on the penis, taking care to create an airtight seal. For optimum suction and a good fit of the cylinder, the genital area should be shaved.
2. Create a vacuum: Air is pumped out of the cylinder using an electric pump mechanism or a hand pump to create a vacuum. This causes the pressure in the cylinder to decrease.
3. Create an erection: The vacuum created causes blood to be drawn into the erectile tissues of the penis. This creates an erection. The process can take several minutes.
4. Maintain an erection: Once erection is achieved, the cylinder is left on the erect penis for the desired pumping time (= time in which the penis is in the cylinder). The erection is maintained in the cylinder for the entire pumping time.
5. Removal: After the desired pumping time has elapsed or if the erection is no longer to be maintained, the vacuum can be released and the cylinder removed.
What types of penis pumps are there?
There are various types of penis pumps that differ in their design and how they work. Here are some common types of penis pumps:
| Type: | How it works: |
| Manual penis pump | This type of penis pump requires manual hand pumping to create the vacuum. The user squeezes or pumps the mechanism with their own hand to remove air from the tube and create a vacuum. |
| Electric penis pump | In contrast to a manual penis pump, an electric penis pump creates the vacuum automatically. It is equipped with a motor or an electric pump that creates the vacuum without the need for manual pumping. |
| Hydropumpe | Hydropumps use water to create the vacuum. The user fills the tube with water and then creates the vacuum by pulling the water out through the pump mechanism. This type of penis pump is usually used in the bath or shower. |
| Kombinierte Penispumpen | Some penis pumps offer combinations of different technologies, such as a combination of manual and electric operation. These allow the user to choose between manual or automatic pumping. |
It is advisable to obtain detailed information about the various options before purchasing a penis pump and to seek professional advice if necessary.
How much does a penis pump cost?
The cost of penis pumps can vary depending on the model, quality, brand and the functions included. In general, penis pumps range in price from around 20 euros to several hundred euros.
Simpler manual penis pumps can often be cheaper, while electric or hydraulic models are usually slightly more expensive. It is important to note that price alone is not always a measure of the quality or effectiveness of a penis pump.
What are the risks of a penis pump?
Certain risks and side effects can occur when using a penis pump. Here are some potential risks associated with the use of penis pumps:
- Bruising or hematoma: Excessive pressure or improper use of the penis pump can lead to bruising or hematoma in the penile tissues.
- Skin irritation or injury: The friction or pressure of the penis pump can cause skin irritation, redness, abrasions or even minor injuries.
- Pain or discomfort: Improper use or excessive pumping force can cause pain or discomfort in the penis.
- Circulatory problems: If the penis pump is used for too long or too vigorously, this can lead to temporary circulatory problems as the blood flow in the penis may be impaired.
- Dependence: Some users report a certain dependence on the penis pump to maintain an erection, as the body’s natural erection mechanism may be impaired.
It is important to use a penis pump according to the manufacturer’s instructions and seek professional advice if necessary to minimize any potential risks. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, you should consult a doctor.
Can the penis be permanently enlarged with a penis pump?
There is no scientific evidence that a penis pump can permanently enlarge the penis. Penis pumps are mainly designed to produce a temporary erection or to help with erectile dysfunction.
Nevertheless, many long-term users of penis pumps report a permanent enlargement of their penis in both flaccid and erect states. Enlargement is mainly achieved in the erect penis girth and in the overall flaccid size. The penis becomes more fleshy or voluminous in the flaccid state, so to speak. In theory, pumping works on the same principle as manual penis enlargement:
“Regular overstretching of the tunica albuginea causes it to adapt to the strain over time by increasing in size.”
The only difference is that in manual exercises, pressure from the inside or traction from the outside leads to overstretching. With pumping, it is the vacuum that causes the erectile tissues to expand beyond their maximum size. Put simply, the penis is sucked larger by the vacuum.
Penis pump as a supplement to manual training?
Even if there is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of all penis enlargement methods apart from penis enlargement surgery, there are more than enough practical examples to prove the opposite. The penis can be permanently enlarged both through regular manual training and through the proper use of special devices such as penis pumps.
Whether one of these two methods is used alone or both methods are combined depends on personal goals, possibilities and preferences. In practice, however, it often proves to be an advantage to use penis enlargement devices as a supplement to manual exercises. This is because the different mechanisms of action can be utilized in this way. This stretches the tunica albuginea in various ways.
However, manual exercises are perfectly adequate, especially for beginners. In the SIZE FOR YOU© penis enlargement course, you will learn everything you need to know about this topic. If you want to know what we do at SIZE FOR YOU© and what we stand for, take a look here.
