How to Use a Penis Pump

Why do people use Penis Pumps?

  • To increase and improve their ability to achieve and maintain an erection.
  • To improve firmness of erections.
  • To enhance penis size.

How to use your penis pump

The penis is often sensitized as a result of using the pump. Until you are experienced, do not pump just before having sex. Use it a few hours beforehand instead.

Get yourself ready:

  • Put aside some time for yourself to use your penis pump undisturbed.
  • Trimming or shaving the hair at the base of the penis several hours before you start will allow for an improved seal.
  • Do not ejaculate for several hours prior to using the penis pump, to allow for maximum expansion.
  • Warm your penis, body and scrotum before you start your penis pump session. Take a shower, bath, sit in the jacuzzi or use a heat pad. This will open the blood vessels and relax the tissues.
  • Urinate before using the pump.
  • Find a comfortable place to sit or stand, whichever works best for you. Many men find a comfortable chair where you can lean back and spread your legs works best.
  • Massage the penis and scrotum for 3-5 minutes.

Lube, lube and more lube

  • As a result of prostate surgery, medications, medical conditions, stress and many factors, a man may have difficulty achieving an erection.
    The more erect your penis is when you put it into the pump, the easier to use.
  • Use plenty of a quality water-based lubricant around the head, shaft and base of the penis.
  • Make sure there is plenty of lubricant at the top of the cylinder.
  • The lubricant at the base of the penis will help to improve the seal for the pump cylinder. If you are having difficulty creating the seal, add a small amount of vaseline to the lube (around the base only) to improve the seal.

Start pumping

  • Start gently pumping until you sart to feel the vacuum seal.
  • If it doesn’t seem to seal try changing position, massaging the penis until it is more erect or apply more lube/Vaseline to base of the pump/penis.
  • Gradually pump the mechanism. If you create a too powerful vacuum, you can cause vascular damage to the penis.
  • Gradually increase the vacuum pressure. You should never feel discomfort or pain or any kind. If you do, or if there is any swelling or discolouration, release the quick valve immediately and discontinue use for at least 48 hours.

Suggested penis pump schedule

By continuing this programme, you should notice improved ability to achieve erections and firmer erections within 4-6 weeks.

Because of the improved blood flow to the penis, you may notice an increase in penis size in both flaccid and erect state. This will only be maintained by continued use of the penis pump.

We recommend pumping 3 times per week and no more than every second day to allow the tissues a day to recuperate – just like going to the gym.

Weeks 1-4

  • Pump for 10 minutes on low pressure.
  • Massage the penis for 3-5 minute.
  • Relubricate the penis.
  • Pump again for 10 minutes on low pressure.
  • Urinate and wash the penis at the end of the session.

Weeks 5-8

  • Pump for 15 minutes, slightly increase the pressure from week 4.
  • Massage the penis for 3-5 minute.
  • Relubricate the penis.
  • Pump again for 15 minutes.
  • Urinate and wash the penis at the end of the session.

Week 9-12 months and ongoing for as long as you want to

  • Pump for 15 minutes, slightly increase the pressure from week 8.
  • Massage the penis for 3-5 minutes.
  • Relubricate the penis.
  • Pump again for 15 minutes.
  • Urinate and wash the penis at the end of the session.

Longer term pumping at least once every 10 days for approximately 20 minutes will help to maintain the benefits of using the penis pump.

Other erection enhancers

As a result of prostate surgery, medications, medical conditions, stress and many factors, a man may have difficulty achieving an erection. This is a common issue and we recommend trying a combination of techniques and products to see what works best for you.

  • Cock Rings – once you have been pumping for a few weeks, you should find it easier to achieve and erection. An adjustable cock ring is very useful for helping to maintain your erection.
  • Herbal Libido Enhancers – if you are not suffering from high blood pressure, a herbal libido product such as Pro-Erex or VEXX HD can be very useful to improve your desire, erection and speed up recovery time. Be sure to use a quality libido product.
  • Pro-Long Spray – for men who have early ejaculation issues, a delay or pro-long spray reduces sensitivity and can slow down ejaculation.  A cock ring will achieve the same result without loss of sensation.
