Two problems that bother men more than others in the sexual sphere are the lack of a stable erection and insufficient length of the penis. Experts have developed a device that can improve both points at once - male vacuum pumps. These products quickly gained popularity, so there are a lot of positive reviews about them. But there are still a huge number of questions, so this article contains everything you need to know on this topic.

What is the device?

The vacuum pump or vacuum erector was invented by the American G. Osborne in 1960. The function that, according to the author's idea, this device should have performed is to reduce sexual tension and restore sexual activity after operations on the prostate gland.

In the first decades, the pump did not receive wide distribution, but over time it has found many admirers. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical balloon, which has an inlet, but the outlet is completely sealed. There is a small hole on the back side of the entrance. Most models have a communication hose connected to it, through which air is pumped. That is, a vacuum erector is basically a normal penis pump. Depending on the modification, it can be supplemented with a pear, batteries, a pistol pump, a pressure gauge, etc.

Another part of this device is the air valve. Through it, you can quickly equalize the pressure inside the balloon with the atmospheric indicator, if you suddenly have a feeling of discomfort. For convenience and for the normal fit of the flask to the groin, there is a special gasket placed on the inlet, which is in contact with the skin. The material for the seal is selected so that it is comfortable, not cold and allergies are excluded.

How does it work

Air is gradually evacuated from the balloon, due to which the pressure is reduced in the internal space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, of which there are many on the mucous membrane of the penis, so the penis becomes hard quite quickly compared to a normal erection.

After creating the vacuum, the following happens:

  • In the groin area, the speed of blood flow increases. Basically, it feels like heat in the lower abdomen and groin.
  • The corpora cavernosa inside the penis fill with blood. Studies have shown that the blood saturation of the penis under vacuum is doubled compared to a normal erection.
  • The oxygen supply increases, which has a positive effect on the condition of all tissues of the genital organs.

Functions

The most important question before buying a vacuum erector is what will give a man its use.

The main functions of the device:

  • an increase in the size of the penis by several centimeters;
  • more persistent erection;
  • obtain sexual satisfaction;
  • extension of intercourse time if you use the device before having sex;
  • elimination of blood stagnation in the capillaries of the genital organ;
  • prevent premature ejaculation when using a vacuum erection device before intercourse;
  • alignment of the penis, if it is curved due to the different filling of blood of the corpora cavernosa on the right and left sides;
  • prevention of decreased libido at age or in the absence of a partner for a long time.

An increase in the size of manhood and an increase in the quality of an erection appears only with periodic and prolonged use. It is not worth waiting for the results after several times.

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

Side effects

Side effects are possible if the device was used incorrectly or the person had contraindications that he did not take into account.

The unpleasant consequences can be the following:

  • the appearance of dark areas on the mucous membrane due to damage to the blood capillaries;
  • dryness and numbness of the surface of the penis;
  • cracks in the mucous layer;
  • with hematomas - a feeling of pain;
  • soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.

Also, if the vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido can occur.

Contraindications

Before moving on to this technique, you should make sure that the man does not have any of the contraindications:

  • diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • blood clotting disorders;
  • atherosclerosis;
  • phlebeurysm;
  • benign or malignant tumors in the groin or pelvic organs;
  • urological infections;
  • venereal pathologies;
  • injury to the penis;
  • dermatological diseases in the genital area or near them;
  • autoimmune disorders;
  • mental disease.

Pain when using the pump is also considered a contraindication. Men over 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 pursues. At the moment we recommend two methods: classic and packaging.

Classic

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

Packaging

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 balloon in this case will be long, but narrower. With an erection, the penis will lengthen, but the diameter will limit the internal space of the bulb.

During wrapping, it is especially important that the phallus be lubricated with any type of lubricant before starting the session.

Terms of use

To make everything happen as pleasant and efficient as possible, you should adhere to the following rules:

  • The first step is to read the instructions in detail. There may be features in the model that are not taken into account in the general rules.
  • Prepare the vacuum pump before use. The balloon is removed and washed with warm soapy water, which is then thoroughly washed off with a large jet 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. It is impossible to disinfect by boiling, as the balloon can crack or deform in hot water.
  • The phallus is lubricated with penis enlargement or arousal cream. This helps provide warmth and comfort.
  • A water-based lubricant is applied to the sealant and to the skin where the pump is applied, so that the device adheres perfectly even in the hair growth zone. It is not worth lubricating these places with oils or creams not intended for this, as they will quickly destroy the structure of the gasket.
  • The phallus is placed inside the device, after which it is pressed firmly against the groin. Then it is necessary to rotate the vacuum erector a couple of centimeters to the right and left to evenly distribute the lubricant in the contact area.
  • Pumping of air begins. For 15-20 seconds, the pressure is relieved, then, by pressing the release valve, air is returned. The general session should not be longer than 5 minutes initially. If the device is used periodically at intervals of several days, the intervals of the vacuum periods gradually increase to 20, 30 and then to 40 seconds. The total exposure time also becomes longer and reaches 20 minutes.
  • After use, the product is washed again. The removable nozzles are removed and washed separately. Until the next session, they are stored unmounted. If these parts are made of cyber silicone, they need to be dried and talc-treated before storage.

When washing, be sure to take care that liquid does not enter the battery compartment if the automatic model with batteries is disinfected.

Security Requirements

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

Manufacturers strongly advise to pay attention to the following points:

  • If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should be stopped immediately and try to find out the cause.
  • The presence of blood in the balloon is a very dangerous sign. It is strictly forbidden to repeat the procedure before the wound is completely healed and the mucous membrane recovers.
  • The process should take place calmly, it is impossible to rush and make sudden movements. First you need to test the minimum vacuum, gradually increasing it. Sudden pressure surges can cause mucosal rupture.
  • The comfortable vacuum level is determined individually. You shouldn't be guided by the reviews of others.
  • Too strong a vacuum should not be created, as a prolonged cessation of blood circulation leads to the death of some cells. This will only aggravate existing problems. Such damage can be irreparable.
  • The pumping time should not exceed 20 minutes, as a heavy load can cause complications.
  • Too frequent treatments will not help.
  • Under no circumstances should the testicles enter the balloon. To avoid this, it is necessary to correctly determine the diameter of the bulb.

NOTE!The use should be deliberate and rational, there is no need to go beyond the reasonable, and then no problems will arise. A man should remember that with natural intercourse too strong a vacuum is excluded, so creating it artificially in most cases is fraught with consequences.

variety

There are several types of vacuum erectors. They differ in technical characteristics and design features:

  • Manual with pear. . . In the process of squeezing the pear, the air is pumped out. A relief valve is located at the base to help bring the pressure back to normal. This design is considered the simplest. It is easy to use and is perfect for those who first decided to buy such a device.
  • Manual with pump. . . The pump is very small and can be operated easily with one hand. Sometimes an interesting design is given, such as 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 is able to evacuate the atmosphere from the balloon's working space faster than a pear.
  • Automatic.It has a compartment for rechargeable batteries, so the pumping is done automatically, the man does not need to make any effort. You can focus only on adjusting the air release. The cost of automatic models is higher than manual ones.
  • Water pump. . . The phallus is massaged with water, which is filled into the internal space of the device. In this case, not air is pumped, but liquid. For use, the structure is completely immersed in water, so it is more convenient to do it in the bathroom. Use in other rooms can cause further problems. In this case, no lubrication is required.
  • Penis pump. . . A small design, where only the head fits into the balloon. Since it is on this part of the organ that a huge number of sensitive points and nerve endings are located, this modification is quite effective. Another advantage is the compactness.

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

How to choose the right pump size?

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

The length and width are predetermined to compare them with the characteristics of the cylinder:

  1. The length should not be less than the size of the phallus in an erect state, plus another 5 or more centimeters. For overweight men, you need to add an extra couple of inches.
  2. To determine the diameter, it is necessary to measure the circumference of the penis in a state of erection, divide this amount by (equal to 3. 14) and add 2-3 centimeters. The resulting number will be a guideline for the diameter specified in the product description.

If pumping is done according to the packing method, then the circle is simply divided by the number and nothing else is added.

Additional elements

Some models have additional elements. These updates include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to her, a man can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing the length thanks to the device.

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

Some varieties feature phallic rings to help prolong an erection. There are additional structures inside the cylinder which give the surface a roughness, spiked structure, etc. For a punchy feel. Additionally, some models have a vibration mode, which adds spiciness.

Where can I buy

There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: in an online store or in a fixed sex shop. It is possible to inquire about the presence of a certificate, which indicates all its technical characteristics. The seller must advise on all problems that arise when choosing.

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