Two problems that disturb men more than others in the sexual area 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 the same time - male vacuum pumps. These products quickly gained popularity, so there are a lot of positive reviews about them. But still, there are tons of questions, so this article has everything you need to know about the subject.

What is the device

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

In the first few decades the pump did not find widespread use, but over time it found many admirers. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical piston that has an entrance, but the exit is completely closed. There is a small hole at the back of the entrance. Most models have a communicating hose attached to pump out air. That said, a vacuum rectifier is basically a regular penis pump. Depending on the modification, it can be supplemented with a pear, batteries, a gun pump, a pressure gauge, etc.

Another part of this device is the air valve. This allows you to quickly equalize the pressure inside the bottle with the atmospheric indicator if you suddenly feel uncomfortable. For a comfortable and normal fit of the bottle on the bar, a special seal is attached to the inlet, which is in contact with the skin. The material for the sealing is chosen so that it is comfortable, does not cool down and allergies are excluded.

How does it work

Gradually, air is evacuated from the flask, which reduces the pressure in the interior - a vacuum is created. This allows the penis to maintain the correct shape that comes with an erection. During this time, 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 hardens quickly enough compared to a normal erection.

After applying a vacuum, the following happens:

  • The blood circulation increases in the groin area. In practice, it feels like warmth in the lower abdomen and groin.
  • The cavernous bodies inside the penis fill with blood. Studies have shown that under vacuum, the blood saturation of the penis is doubled compared to a normal erection.
  • The supply of oxygen 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 benefit a man.

The most important functions of the device:

  • an increase in the size of the penis by several inches;
  • more sustained erection;
  • getting sexual satisfaction;
  • Increase the length of intercourse if you use the device before intercourse;
  • Elimination of blood stagnation in the capillaries of the genital organ;
  • Preventing premature ejaculation when using a vacuum erection device before intercourse;
  • Alignment of the penis, if it is curved on the right and left due to the different filling of the erectile tissue with blood;
  • Prevention of decreased libido in old age or when the partner is absent for a longer period of time.

An increase in masculinity and an increase in the quality of an erection occur only with regular and prolonged use. It is not worth waiting for results after several times.

Important!The male pump is not a cure but a prophylactic agent. Sexual weakness is not always associated with problems, which the use of a pump solves.

Side effects

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

Unpleasant consequences can be:

  • 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 hematoma - a feeling of pain;
  • Microtrauma swelling of the soft tissues.

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

Contraindications

Before turning to this technique, make sure that the man does not have any of the contraindications:

  • Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
  • Bleeding disorders;
  • Arteriosclerosis;
  • Phlebeurysm;
  • benign or malignant tumors in the groin or pelvic organs;
  • urological infections;
  • Venereal diseases;
  • Injury to the penis;
  • dermatological diseases in the genital area or in its vicinity;
  • Autoimmune diseases;
  • Mental illness.

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

How do you use the pump correctly?

There are different pumping techniques. Your choice depends on what goals the man is pursuing. At the moment, two methods are recommended: classic and packaged.

Classic

If you want to increase not only the length but also the diameter of the penis, pay attention to it. Devices with wide pistons 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.

packaging

The pack is suitable for lengthening and correcting the shape of the phallus. The name of the technique is derived from the English word "pack". In this case, the piston is long but narrower. When an erection occurs, the penis is elongated, but the diameter limits the interior of the globe.

When packing, it is especially important that the phallus is lubricated with any type of lubricant before the start of the session.

Terms of Use

To ensure that everything runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible, you should adhere to the following rules:

  • The first step is to read the instructions in detail. The model can contain functions that are not considered in the general rules.
  • Prepare the vacuum pump before use. The flask is removed and washed with warm soapy water, which is then washed off 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 agents. Disinfection by boiling is not possible as the bottle can tear or become deformed in hot water.
  • The phallus is lubricated with cream for penis enlargement or arousal. This contributes to warmth and comfort.
  • A water-based lubricant is applied to the seal and the skin to which the pump is applied so that the device fits snugly even in the hair growth zone. It is not worth lubricating these places with unintended oils or creams, as they will quickly destroy the structure of the seal.
  • The phallus is inserted into the device and then pressed firmly against the groin. Then you have to turn the vacuum erector a few centimeters to the right and left in order to distribute the lubricant evenly in the contact area.
  • The pumping of air begins. The pressure is released for 15-20 seconds and then air is let in again by pressing the release valve. The general session should initially not last longer than 5 minutes. If the device is used regularly at intervals of several days, the intervals of the vacuum periods will 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. Removable nozzles are removed and washed separately. They are stored disassembled until the next session. If these parts are made of cybersilicone they need to be wiped dry and treated with talcum powder before storage.

When washing, make sure that no liquid gets into the battery compartment when the automatic model is disinfected with batteries.

Security requirements

Men who get negative results often admit that they failed to follow safety rules when using the pump. This can lead to significant damage to the health of the penis and the entire body.

Manufacturers strongly advise you to pay attention to the following points:

  • If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should be ended immediately and an attempt should be made to find the cause.
  • The presence of blood in the bottle is a very dangerous sign. It is strictly forbidden to repeat the process before the wound has completely healed and the mucous membrane has recovered.
  • The process should be calm, it is impossible to hurry and make sudden movements. First you need to test the minimum vacuum and gradually increase it. Sudden pressure surges can tear the mucous membrane.
  • The comfortable vacuum level is determined individually. You shouldn't be guided by the reviews of others.
  • The vacuum should not be too strong, as a prolonged interruption of the blood circulation 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 a heavy load can lead to complications.
  • Treatments that are too frequent are not beneficial.
  • Under no circumstances should the testicles get into the bottle. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to correctly determine the diameter of the light bulb.

NOTE!It should be used consciously and rationally, there is no need to go beyond what is reasonable and then no problems will arise. A man should keep in mind that in natural intercourse, too strong a vacuum is excluded, so in most cases artificial generation is fraught with consequences.

sorts

There are different types of vacuum erectors. They differ in technical properties and design features:

  • Manual with pear. . . Air is pumped out when the pear is pressed. There is a pressure relief valve at the base to bring the pressure back to normal. This design is considered to be the simplest. It's easy to use and perfect for those who have just decided to purchase such a device for the first time.
  • Manually with a 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 relief valve can be located on the piston or on a plastic part so that it can be closed with the finger. The pump manages to evacuate the atmosphere from the working space of the piston faster than a pear.
  • Automatically.It has a compartment for rechargeable batteries so that pumping is automatic, the man doesn't have to strain. You can only focus on adjusting the air delivery. The cost of automatic models is higher than that of manual ones.
  • Hydraulic pump. . . The phallus is massaged with water that is filled into the interior of the device. No air is pumped out, but liquid. To use, the structure is completely immersed in water, so it is most convenient to do it in the bathroom. Using it in other rooms can cause additional problems. In this case, lubrication is not required.
  • Penis pump. . . A small design where only the head fits into the bottle. Since there are a large number of sensitive points and nerve endings in this part of the organ, this modification is very effective. Another advantage is the compactness.

A man can rate 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 neglected.

The length and width are given in order to compare them with the properties of the cylinder:

  1. The length should not be less than the size of the phallus when erect plus another 5 or more centimeters. In overweight men, you need to add a few extra centimeters.
  2. To determine the diameter, you need to measure the girth of the penis in the erect state, divide this amount by π (equal to 3, 14) and add 2-3 centimeters. The resulting number serves as a guide for the diameter specified in the product description.

If the packing method is used, the circle is simply divided by the number π and nothing else is added.

Additional elements

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

Another element is a pressure gauge. A comfortable degree of vacuuming can thus be measured and quickly reached the next time.

Some varieties come with penis rings to help prolong erection. Inside the cylinder there are additional structures that give the surface a roughness, a spiked structure, etc. for a punchy feeling. In addition, some models have a vibration mode, which provides more sharpness.

Where can I buy

There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: from an online store or from a stationary sex shop. You can inquire about the existence of a certificate indicating all the technical characteristics. The seller must advise on all questions that arise in the selection.

The costs depend on the materials, the manufacturer and the availability of additional structural parts.
