Two problems that worry 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 device that can improve both points at once - male vacuum pumps. These products quickly gained popularity, so there are many positive reviews about them. But there are still a huge number of questions, so this article contains everything you need to know about this topic.

What is a device

The vacuum pump or vacuum erector was invented by the American G. Osborne in 1960. The function, which according to the author's idea was to perform this device, is to reduce sexual tension and restore sexual activity after prostate surgery.

In the first decades, the pump did not become widespread, but over time it gained many fans. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical flask which has an inlet but the outlet is completely sealed. There is a small hole at the back of the entrance. Most models have a communication hose attached to it, through which air is pumped. This means that a vacuum erector is basically a simple penis pump. Depending on the modification, it can be supplemented with a pear, batteries, a pistol pump, a manometer, etc.

Another part of this device is the air valve. With it you can quickly equalize the pressure inside the flask with the atmospheric indicator, if you suddenly have an unpleasant sensation. For convenience and normal fit of the flask to the groin there is a special seal placed at the entrance, which is in contact with the skin. The material for the seal is chosen so that it is comfortable, not cold and allergies are excluded.

How it works

The air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which the pressure in the interior space decreases - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape that accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, many of which are on the lining of the penis, so that the penis becomes hard enough quickly compared to a normal erection.

After creating a vacuum, the following happens:

  • In the groin area, the rate of blood flow increases. It practically feels like heat in the lower abdomen and groin.
  • The corpora cavernosa inside the penis are filled with blood. Studies show that blood saturation of the penis under vacuum doubles compared to a normal erection.
  • Oxygen supply increases, which has a positive effect on the condition of all tissues of the genitals.

Functions

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

The main functions of the device:

  • increase the size of the penis by a few centimeters;
  • more stable erection;
  • receiving sexual satisfaction;
  • prolong the time of sexual intercourse if you use the device before sexual intercourse;
  • elimination of blood stasis in the capillaries of the genital organ;
  • prevention of premature ejaculation when using a vacuum erection device before sex;
  • alignment of the penis, if it is curved due to the different filling of the corpora cavernosa with blood on the right and left side;
  • prevention of decreased libido in old age or in the absence of a partner for a long time.

Increasing the size of the man and improving the quality of the erection occurs only with periodic and prolonged use. It is not worth waiting for the results after a few times.

Important!The male pump is not a cure, but a prophylactic. Sexual weakness is not always associated with problems that can be solved with the help of a pump.

Side Effects

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

The unpleasant consequences can be as follows:

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

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

Contraindications

Before resorting to this technique, you need to make sure that the man has none of the contraindications:

  • diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • coagulation disorders;
  • atherosclerosis;
  • phlebeurism;
  • benign or malignant tumors in the groin or pelvic organs;
  • urological infections;
  • venereal pathologies;
  • penile injury;
  • dermatological diseases in the area of the genitals or near them;
  • autoimmune disorders;
  • mental illness.

Pain when using the pump is also considered a contraindication. Men over 65 should be careful with this method.

How to use the pump properly?

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

Classic

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

Packing

The package 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 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.

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

Terms of Use

To make everything as enjoyable and effective as possible, you must 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. Remove the flask and wash with warm soapy water, which is then washed thoroughly with a large stream of water. For disinfection, the inner volume is treated with cotton wool soaked in miramistin, alcohol or chlorhexidine, if the man is not allergic to these funds. It is impossible to disinfect by boiling, as the flask may crack or deform in hot water.
  • The phallus is lubricated with penis enlargement or arousal cream. This helps provide warmth and comfort.
  • Water-based lubricant is applied to the sealant and to the skin where the pump is applied, so that the device fits snugly even in the area of hair growth. It is not worth lubricating these areas with oils or creams that are not designed for this, as they will quickly destroy the structure of the seal.
  • The phallus is placed inside the device, then pressed tightly to the groin. Then you have to turn the vacuum assembly a few centimeters to the right and to the left to distribute the grease evenly in the contact area.
  • The pumping of the air begins. For 15-20 seconds the pressure is released and then, by pressing the release valve, the air is supplied back. Initially, the total session should be no more than 5 minutes. If the device is used periodically at intervals of several days, then the intervals of the vacuum periods are gradually increased 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. Removable nozzles are removed and washed separately. Until the next session, they are stored disassembled. If these parts are made of cyber silicone, they should be wiped and treated with talc before storage.

During washing, make sure that the liquid does not get into the battery compartment if the automatic battery model is disinfected.

Safety requirements

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

The manufacturers strongly advise you to pay attention to the following points:

  • If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should be stopped immediately and try to understand 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 is completely healed and the mucosa restored.
  • The process must proceed smoothly, it is not possible to hurry and make sudden movements. First you need to test the minimum vacuum, gradually increasing it. Sudden jumps in pressure can tear the mucosa.
  • The comfort level of the vacuum is determined individually. You should not be guided by the feedback of others.
  • Too strong a vacuum should not be created, as prolonged circulatory arrest leads to the death of some cells. This will only exacerbate the existing problems. Such damage can be irreparable.
  • The pumping time should not exceed 20 minutes, as heavy loads can cause complications.
  • Too frequent treatments will not help.
  • Under no circumstances should the testicles fall inside the flask. To prevent this, it is necessary to correctly determine the diameter of the bulb.

NOTE!The use must be conscious and rational, it is not necessary to go beyond reason and then no problems will arise. The man must remember that during sexual intercourse too strong a vacuum is excluded, therefore its artificial creation in most cases is fraught with consequences.

Varieties

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

  • Guide to the pear. . . In the process of pressing the pear, air is pumped. At the base is a safety valve that helps return the pressure to normal. This design is considered the simplest. It is easy to operate and is ideal for those who first decided to buy such a device.
  • Manual with pump. . . The pump is very small and can be easily operated with one hand. Sometimes it is given an interesting design, such as the shape of a pistol. The vacuum safety valve can be placed on the flask so that it can be closed with a finger or on a plastic part. The pump manages to evacuate the atmosphere from the working space of the flask faster than the pear.
  • Automatically.It has a battery compartment, so that pumping is automatic, the man does not need to make any effort. You can only focus on regulating the release of air. The price of automatic models is higher than manual ones.
  • Water pump. . . The phallus is massaged with water, which is filled into the inner 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 most convenient to do so in the bathroom. Use in other rooms may cause additional problems. No lubrication is required in this case.
  • Penis pump. . . A small design in which only the head fits in the flask. Because it is in this part of the body that a huge number of sensitive points and nerve endings are located, this modification is quite effective. Another advantage is compactness.

The man can assess 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 ignored.

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

  1. The length should be not less than the size of the phallus in an upright position, plus another 5 or more centimeters. For overweight men you need to add a few more inches.
  2. To determine the diameter, you need to measure the circumference of the erect penis, divide this amount by π (equal to 3, 14) and add 2-3 centimeters. The number obtained will be a guide to the diameter indicated in the product description.

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

Additional elements

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

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

Some varieties are equipped with rooster rings to prolong erections. Inside the cylinder there are additional structures that give the surface roughness, a structure with spikes, etc. for a feeling of impact. In addition, some models have a vibration mode that adds spice.

Where can I buy

There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: in an online store or in a stationary sex store. You can ask for a certificate that shows all the technical characteristics. The seller should advise on any issues that arise when choosing.

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