How to use a penis pump

Why use a penis pump?

There are two main reasons why a man might decide to use a penis enlargement pump: to increase penis size, or for personal pleasure. Dick pumps are an alternative to taking herbal pills to achieve a bigger, harder looking erection and also a safer option compared to undergoing male enhancement surgery. For other men, the sucking sensation created when using a penis pump is very pleasurable, so they enjoy using pumps during masturbation.

Penis pumps work by creating a vacuum inside a cylinder. As you pump, air is drawn out of the chamber, causing the penis to swell and more blood flows to the area. While many men enjoy the temporary change in penis size because the effects will eventually wear off for those that are more serious about penis enlargement, using a dick pump little and often will ultimately cause the erectile tissue to expand, adding inches to a flaccid penis.

Anatomy of a dick pump

While there are many different styles and designs of penis pump vacuum pumps, hydro pumps and even vibrating ones there are several features they will all have in common to provide maximum suction.

Harmony Tip: Penis pumps can also come in different sizes, with some chambers being larger or smaller than others. Always check the product's Additional Information for the measurements so you get one that is the right size for you.

How to use a penis pump

STEP 1: To ensure comfortable insertion, apply a water-based lubricant to the opening of the pump.

STEP 2: Insert your penis into the cylinder chamber. Unless using a Bathmate pump, where your penis must be flaccid, you can be hard, semi-erect or soft. Keep testicles outside of the cylinder.

STEP 3: Press the base of the pump firmly to your body, creating an air tight seal between your skin and the pump. It might be necessary to trim the hair around the base of the penis so the pump can sit completely flat against your pubic bone.

STEP 4: Depending on the type of dick pump you have, either place your finger over the quick release valve, or twist it so that it's shut.

STEP 5: Begin to pump slowly. Between each pump allow your penis to adjust to the changing pressure within the chamber before squeezing the bulb for a second or third time.

STEP 6: Continue pumping until fully erect.

STEP 7: Remove your penis from the pump and check it for any unusual discoloration. It might look a bit more purple than usual, but if there is any serious change in colour or pain, then stop. If everything feels alright, then after a short massage of your shaft (use lube for extra comfort) you can go for another round of pumping if required.

STEP 8: Once you've reached maximum length at this time, release the air pressure valve, or turn to open it. This will let the air of out the chamber, allowing you to easily remove your penis.

Keep your size for longer

Once you've finished pumping, your penis will gradually return to its regular size. To prolong the appearance of your new found girth and length, slip a soft, stretchy cock ring around the base of your dick. Avoid wearing the ring for any more than 30 minutes though, or you could prevent regular blood flow returning to the penis.

For longer lasting results, it's suggested that you use your penis pump more regularly. Around 10 to 15 minutes a day is enough and pause to check and massage your penis in 4 or 5 minute intervals.

Generally, a lasting difference in length and girth will become apparent after around three to six months of regular pumping, but this will of course vary for each man.

A few safety points

Using a penis pump on a regular basis is completely safe and healthy, but keep an eye out for the following things.

While it might take a bit of time to get used to the sucking sensation of a penis pump, there should never be any pain or discomfort when using a penis enlarger. If there is, then you must stop immediately.

The same must be said for any unusual discolouring of the penis. If there is a severe change in colour, then stop and seek medical help.
