Have you ever heard of a penis pump? It is a very trendy thing these days, because more and more people use it to have extra fun under the sheets. Curious about how a penis pump works and what it does for you and your bed partner?

In this article we answer the most important questions about a penis pump and make you completely ready for this sex aid.

What is a penis pump?

A penis pump – also called a vacuum pump – is a cylindrical tube that can be used manually or electrically. It must be inserted in a flaccid state and is actually a machine that creates a vacuum around the penis. In this way, you pump more blood to your penis, which ensures… a bigger and firmer erection!

How to use a penis pump?

Before you use a penis pump as a man, it is best to give the area down there a quick shave. In addition, lubricant is also very important if you want to use a penis pump. This makes the entire experience a lot more pleasant, but there is more than that. Lubricant also ensures that your penis can be sucked into a vacuum better.

Now that your penis is shaved and you have applied some lubricant, you need to slide your penis into the cylindrical penis pump. It is best to do this when your penis is in a semi-erect state.

Once your penis is inserted into the penis pump, you can start 'pumping'. This part is done by hand or with an electric motor, depending on the type of pump you have purchased. With this action, you ensure that blood is sucked into the penis. You must continue pumping (carefully) until you have reached the ideal pressure level.

After pumping, you need to slide a cock ring over your penis. Then push it down as far as you can to the shaft. This is an important step because the cock ring ensures that your penis stays stiff for longer.

How much bigger will my penis get with a penis pump?

On average, a penis pump can make your penis up to 2.5 cm bigger! By using a penis ring, the great effect of the penis pump lasts even longer.

Is a penis pump painful or dangerous?

We can reassure you: a penis pump is not painful in most cases. We write 'in most cases' because it can indeed be dangerous and painful if you do not use the penis pump correctly.

It is therefore advisable that you do not pump too often and too hard. Certainly not the first time you use a penis pump. If you pump too much, the blood vessels in your penis can burst, which is of course not good. This is also not exactly great for the skin of your penis.

It may all sound quite scary, but know that when used correctly, the penis pump is above all very exciting and fun.

How do you know when something is wrong with a penis pump?

If something goes wrong with your penis pump, you will undoubtedly feel it while using it. It will start to hurt down there. If this signal occurs, it is important that you ensure that the pressure inside the cylinder of the penis pump slowly decreases and decreases.

Some penis pumps (often the more expensive models) have an indicator that shows you whether the pressure around the penis is still at the right level. So if you are a beginner, this is really an absolute must.

What are the benefits of a penis pump?

The biggest advantage of a penis pump is of course… a bigger penis! Because let's be honest: a bigger penis during sex is of course an ego boost for you and can provide extra excitement for your sex partner.

But not only for you as a man is a bigger penis more fun - because it gives you an extra sense of self-confidence - a bigger penis is of course also extra stimulating for your partner. Moreover, your erection will last longer thanks to a penis pump, so you and your partner will no longer be interrupted by an (accidentally) flaccid penis. Nice!

Sexologists often say that by using a penis pump in combination with a cock ring, you can achieve an erection that is scientifically impossible without these aids. So a penis pump is extra nice, for you and your partner.

Well, that's it! Hopefully, after reading this blog post, you're all set and convinced to buy a penis pump yourself. We wish you an exciting and thrilling time between the sheets.
