Vacuum pumps for men: everything you need to know

excited man and woman in bed

Two problems that bother men more than others in the sexual sphere are the lack of a stable erection and the insufficient length of the penis. Experts have developed a tool that can improve both points at once - male vacuum pumps. These products quickly became popular, so many positive reviews were received about them. But there are still plenty of questions to ask, so this article contains everything you need to know about this topic.

What is the device

The vacuum pump or vacuum set-up was invented by G. Osborne in the United States in 1960. The function that the author envisioned this device should have been to reduce sexual tension and restore sexual activity after prostate gland surgery.

In the first decades, the pump did not become widespread, but over time it found many admirers. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical flask with an entrance but the exit is completely closed. There is a small hole in the back of the entrance. Most models are connected to a connecting hose through which air is pumped out. That is, the vacuum erector is basically a traditional penis pump. Can be supplemented with pears, batteries, gun pump, pressure gauge, etc. , depending on modification.

Another part of this device is the air valve. This allows you to quickly equalize the pressure inside the flask with the atmospheric indicator in the event of a sudden discomfort. For convenience and a normal fit of the flask to the groin, the inlet has a special seal that comes in contact with the skin. The material of the seal is chosen so that it is comfortable, not cold and allergies can be ruled out.

How It Works

The air is gradually emptied from the flask, which reduces the pressure in the interior - a vacuum is created. As a result, the penis begins to maintain its proper shape, which is associated with an erection. During this period, there is a noticeable effect on the reflex points and nerve endings, many of which are on the mucous membranes of the penis, so that the penis hardens quickly compared to a normal erection.

After the vacuum is created, the following happens:

  • The speed of blood flow in the groin area increases. Practically warm feeling in the lower abdomen and groin.
  • The cavernous bodies inside the penis are filled with blood. Studies have shown that the blood saturation of the penis under vacuum is double that of a normal erection.
  • Oxygen supply is increased, which has a positive effect on the condition of all genital tissues.

Features

Before buying a vacuum set up, the most important question is what you will use it for.

The main functions of the device:

  • an increase in penis size by a few centimeters;
  • more lasting erections;
  • achieving sexual satisfaction;
  • prolonging intercourse if you use the device before sex;
  • elimination of blood stagnation in the capillaries of the genitals;
  • prevention of premature ejaculation when using a pre-sex vacuum erection device;
  • alignment of the penis if curved due to different filling of the cavernous bodies with right and left blood;
  • prevention of decreased libido in old age or in the absence of a long-term partner.

An increase in the size of masculinity and an improvement in the quality of an erection appear only with intermittent and prolonged use. It's not worth waiting for multiple results.

Important!The male pump is not a healing but a prophylactic. Sexual weakness is not always associated with problems that are solved with a pump.

Side effects

Side effects are possible if the device was used incorrectly or the person had contraindications that were not taken into account.

Unpleasant consequences may include:

  • appearance of dark areas on the mucosa due to damage to blood capillaries;
  • dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis;
  • cracks in the mucosal layer;
  • with hematomas - pain;
  • swelling of the soft tissues due to microtrauma.

Furthermore, if a vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido may occur.

Contraindications

Before resorting to this technique, make sure the man has no contraindications:

  • diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • coagulation disorders;
  • arteriosclerosis;
  • flebeurism;
  • benign or malignant tumors of the groin or pelvic organs;
  • urological infections;
  • venereal diseases;
  • injury to the penis;
  • dermatological diseases in or near the genital area;
  • autoimmune disorders;
  • mental illness.

Pain while using the pump is also a contraindication. Men over the age of 65 should be careful with this method.

How to use the pump correctly?

There are several pumping techniques. Their choice depends on what goals the man is pursuing. Currently, two methods are recommended: classic and packaging.

Classic

Those who want to increase not only the length but also the diameter of their penis will pay attention to it. Devices with wide flasks are suitable for this purpose. This design allows the penis to dilate in all directions. The diameter increases due to the maximum blood filling of the penis.

Wrapping

The packaging is suitable for increasing the length and correcting the shape of the phallus. The name of the technique comes from the English word "pack". The flask will be long but narrower in this case. During an erection, the penis lengthens, but the diameter limits the interior of the bulb.

When packing, it is especially important to lubricate the phallus with any type of lubricant before starting the session.

Terms of use

To make everything as pleasant and efficient as possible, you need to follow these rules:

  • The first step is to read the instructions in detail. There may be features in the model that are not considered in the general rules.
  • Prepare the vacuum pump before use. Remove the flask and wash with warm soapy water and wash thoroughly with a large stream of water. For disinfection, the internal volume is treated with cotton wool soaked in miramistin, alcohol, or chlorhexidine if the man is not allergic to these agents. Do not disinfect by boiling, as the flask may crack or deform in hot water.
  • The phallus is smeared with a cream to enlarge or excite the penis. This helps to provide warmth and comfort.
  • A water-based lubricant is applied to the sealant and the skin where the pump is applied so that the device fits snugly even in the hair growth zone. It is not advisable to lubricate these areas with oils or creams not intended for this purpose, as they will soon destroy the structure of the seal.
  • The phallus is placed inside the device and then pressed tightly against the groin. Then turn the vacuum adjuster a few inches to the right and left to distribute the lubricant evenly over the contact area.
  • The air pumping starts. The pressure is released for 15-20 seconds and then air is released by pressing the release valve. The general session should not initially exceed 5 minutes. If the device is used at regular intervals of several days, the vacuum periods will gradually increase to 20, 30, and then 40 seconds. The total exposure time is also extended to 20 minutes.
  • Wash the product again after use. Removable nozzles are removed and washed separately. They are stored disassembled until the next session. If these parts are made of cyber silicone, wipe dry and treat with talcum powder before storage.

When washing, make sure that no liquid enters the battery compartment when disinfecting the automatic battery model.

Security requirements

Men who achieve negative results often admit that they did not follow safety rules when using the pump. This can cause significant damage to the health of the penis and the body as a whole.

Manufacturers strongly recommend that you pay attention to the following points:

  • If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should be terminated immediately and an attempt made to find out the cause.
  • The presence of blood in the flask is a very dangerous sign. It is strictly forbidden to repeat the procedure before the wound has completely healed and the mucosa has been repaired.
  • The process must go smoothly, it is impossible to rush and make sudden movements. You must first test the minimum vacuum, gradually increasing it. Sudden pressure surges can rupture the mucous membranes.
  • The comfortable vacuum level is determined individually. Not guided by the opinions of others.
  • A too strong vacuum should not be created, as prolonged stoppage of blood circulation leads to the death of some cells. This only exacerbates existing problems. Such damage can be irreparable.
  • The pumping time should not exceed 20 minutes as high load can cause complications.
  • Too frequent treatments will not be beneficial.
  • Under no circumstances should the testicles be placed in the flask. To avoid this, the bulb diameter must be determined correctly.

NOTE!The use should be prudent and reasonable, should not go beyond what is reasonable, and then there should be no problems. A man should remember that too much vacuum is excluded during natural intercourse, so creating an artificial one has consequences in most cases.

Types

There are several types of vacuum erecters. They differ in their technical characteristics and design characteristics:

  • With pears in hand. . . Air is pumped out during the pressing of the pears. There is a pressure relief valve at the bottom to help normalize the pressure. This design is considered to be the simplest. It is easy to use and perfect for those who have first decided to buy such a device.
  • With manual pump. . . The pump is very small and easy to operate with one hand. Sometimes it gets an interesting design, like the shape of a gun. The vacuum relief valve can be placed on the flask so that it can be closed with a finger or on a plastic part. The pump can evacuate the atmosphere from the flask workspace faster than a pear.
  • Automatic.It has a compartment for the batteries so the pumping is done automatically, the man doesn’t have to strain on it. You can only focus on adjusting the air output. The cost of automatic models is higher than that of manual models.
  • Water pump. . . The phallus is massaged with water, which is filled into the interior of the device. In this case, it is not air but liquid that is pumped out. For use, the structure is completely immersed in water, so it is most convenient to do this in the bathroom. Using in other rooms may cause additional problems. In this case, no lubrication is required.
  • Penis pump. . . Small design in which only the head fits into the flask. Because there are a huge number of sensitive points and nerve endings in this part of the organ, this modification is quite effective. Another advantage is compactness.

A man can assess his preferences and decide which type to focus on.

How to choose the right pump size?

Above all, you need to focus on the size of the cylinder when choosing. Buying a device that turns out to be too small is an annoying mistake, so this parameter cannot be neglected.

The length and width are predetermined to be compared with the characteristics of the cylinder:

  1. Its length should not be less than the size of the phallus when erect, plus an additional 5 or more centimeters. For overweight men, even a few inches should be added.
  2. To determine the diameter, measure the circumference of the penis in the erect state, divide this amount by π (equal to 3, 14), and add 2-3 centimeters. The number thus obtained will be indicative of the diameter specified in the product description.

If the pumping is carried out according to the packing method, the circle is simply divided by the number π and nothing else is added.

Additional items

Some models have additional features. These improvements include the scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to her, the man can easily determine how much the increase in length has improved thanks to the device.

Another element is the pressure gauge. It can be used to measure the comfortable level of vacuuming and return to it quickly next time.

Some breeds are equipped with cock rings to prolong the erection. Inside the cylinder, there are additional structures that can be roughened, spiked, and so on. they give the surface a percussive feel. Some models also have a vibration mode, which gives a piquancy.

Where can I buy

There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: an online store or a stationary sex store. You can inquire about the existence of a certificate that lists all the technical features. The seller should advise on all issues that arise during the selection.

The cost depends on the materials, the manufacturer and the availability of additional structural elements.
