If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) or want to enhance the size of your penis, you can try one of the many penis pumps on the market for effective treatment. There is a range of options available when it comes to penis pumps. Gather as much awareness as you can about these devices, in order to make the most effective choice.
What are penis pumps?
As the name suggests, penis pumps are devices that use a pump mechanism to help you get an erection. A basic penis pump has components that include a hollow cylinder, a pump mechanism and a tube that connects the cylinder to the pump mechanism. There is a difference between penis pumps and vacuum pumps. The difference lies in the fact that vacuum pumps are clinically tested devices that are only available through a physician. The basic premise of both, vacuum pumps and penis pumps remains the same. A doctor might prescribe one over the other taking cognizance of your general condition.
Penis pumps – Working
The penis pump tube must be placed over your penis by holding it tightly against your body. It’s important that the tube is sealed tight; a thick water based lubricant will help you in this regard. After you have secured the pump, you need to create the vacuum. This could either be done manually or electronically. By drawing air out of the cylinder a vacuum is created, which helps draw blood into the penis. This results in an erection.
The efficacy of penile pumps
There is no doubt that the proper use of penis pumps will give you an erection. However, it’s important to know just what to expect from penile pumps and not believe tall claims. A penis pump is a device that can only help you experience an erection. If there is very little or no sexual stimulation, you might face difficulty in maintaining that erection. The erection can go away within a short time. There is little evidence to suggest that the prolonged use of a penile pump will increase the size of the penis. But, there is definitely evidence to suggest that the use of a penile pump coupled with the use of a cock ring or penis ring will definitely help delay ejaculation. This is one of the ways how premature ejaculation can be treated.
Can these pumps be used on someplace other than your penis?
Penile pumps are not configured for use on any other part of your body, but you can get creative with them. There are some people who use the pump on some of the sensitive parts of the body including nipples, clitoris, or some other erogenous zone. When you use the pump on some other part of your body, the principle remains the same. Its use will increase the blood flow to that particular region. The sensation changes drastically when the pump is removed. So, if you want to use these pumps somewhere other than your penis, you can use a bit of trial and error to experience the perfect sensation.
Penile pumps – The safety aspect
There are a range of pumps available in the market. You need to select a pump that is safe for use. As is the case with all devices, there are definitely some pumps that can be considered harmful for use. A pump that creates a strong vacuum but does not have an integrated release valve is a recipe for injury. To stay away from the harmful effects of these pumps, you need to keep in mind certain precautions. You shouldn’t use them if you have a tendency to bleed easily or have a blood clotting disorder. You must also avoid these pumps if you are using specific medications like anticoagulants.
