Two problems that bother men more than others in the sexual sphere are the lack of a stable erection and 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 still there are a huge number of questions, so this article contains everything you need to know on this topic.
What is the device
The vacuum pump or vacuum erector was invented by the American G. Osborne in 1960. The function that, according to the author's idea, this device was supposed to perform is to reduce sexual tension and restore sexual activity after operations on the prostate gland.
In the first decades, the pump did not receive wide distribution, but over time it found many admirers. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical flask, which has an entrance, but the exit is completely sealed. There is a small hole on the back side of the entrance. Most models have a communicating hose attached to it, through which air is pumped out. That is, a vacuum erector is basically a regular penis pump. Depending on the modification, it can be supplemented with a pear, batteries, a pistol pump, a pressure gauge, etc.
Another part of this device is the air valve. Through it, you can quickly equalize the pressure inside the flask with the atmospheric indicator, if you suddenly have an uncomfortable feeling. For convenience and normal fit of the flask to the groin, there is a special seal put on the inlet, which is in contact with the skin. The material for the seal is selected so that it is comfortable, not cold and allergies are excluded.
How does it work
Air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which pressure is reduced in the inner space - a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to keep the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, which are very numerous on the mucous membrane of the penis, so the penis becomes hard quickly enough compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the rate of blood flow increases. 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 the blood saturation of the penis under a vacuum 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 purchasing a vacuum erector is what will give a man its use.
The main functions of the device:
- an increase in the size of the penis by several centimeters;
- more persistent erection;
- getting sexual satisfaction;
- prolongation of the time of intercourse if you use the device before having sex;
- elimination of blood stagnation in the capillaries of the genital organ;
- preventing 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 cavernous bodies with blood on the right and left sides;
- prevention of decreased libido at age or in the absence of a partner for a long time.
An increase in the size of manhood and an increase in the quality of an erection appears only with periodic and prolonged use. It is not worth waiting for results after several times.
Important!The male pump is not a curative, but a prophylactic agent. Sexual weakness is not always associated with problems that are solved by using a pump.
Side effects
Side effects are possible if the device was used incorrectly or the person had contraindications that he did not take into account.
Unpleasant consequences can be as follows:
- the appearance of darkened 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 hematomas - a feeling of pain;
- swelling of soft tissues due to microtrauma.
Also, if the vacuum erection is abused, a decrease in libido may occur.
Contraindications
Before turning to this technique, you should make sure that the man does not have any of the contraindications:
- diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- blood clotting disorders;
- atherosclerosis;
- phlebeurysm;
- benign or malignant tumors in the groin or pelvic organs;
- urological infections;
- venereal pathologies;
- injury to the penis;
- dermatological diseases in the genital area or near them;
- autoimmune disorders;
- mental illness.
Pain while using the pump is also considered a contraindication. Men over 65 should be careful with this method.
How to use the pump correctly?
There are several pumping techniques. Their choice depends on what goals the man pursues. At the moment, two methods are recommended: classic and packing.
Classic
Those who want to increase not only the length, but also the diameter of the penis pay their attention to it. Devices with wide flasks are suitable for this. This design allows the penis to expand in all directions. The diameter grows due to the maximum filling of the penis with blood.
Packing
Packing 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 inner space of the bulb.
When packing, it is especially important that the phallus is lubricated with any type of lubricant before starting the session.
Terms of use
To make everything happen as pleasantly and efficiently as possible, you should 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. The flask is removed and washed with warm soapy water, which is then thoroughly washed off with a large stream of water. For disinfection, the internal volume is treated with cotton wool soaked in miramistin, alcohol or chlorhexidine, if the man is not allergic to these agents. It is impossible to disinfect by boiling, since the flask can crack or deform in hot water.
- The phallus is lubricated with cream for penis enlargement or arousal. This helps provide warmth and comfort.
- A 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 hair growth zone. It is not worth lubricating these places with oils or creams that are not intended for this, as they will quickly destroy the structure of the gasket.
- The phallus is placed inside the device, after which it is pressed tightly against the groin. Then you need to twist the vacuum erector a couple of centimeters to the right and left to evenly distribute the lubricant in the contact area.
- Air pumping starts. For 15-20 seconds, the pressure is discharged, and then, by pressing the release valve, air is admitted back. The general session should initially be no more than 5 minutes. If the device is used periodically at intervals of several days, then the intervals of the periods of vacuum 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. Until the next session, they are stored disassembled. If these parts are made of cyber silicone, they must be wiped dry and treated with talcum powder before storing.
During washing, be sure to pay attention that liquid does not get into the battery compartment if the automatic model with batteries 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 lead to significant harm to the health of the penis and the body as a whole.
Manufacturers strongly advise you to pay attention to the following points:
- If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should be ended immediately and try to find out 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 mucous membrane recovers.
- The process should take place calmly, it is impossible to rush and make sudden movements. First you need to test the minimum vacuum, gradually increasing it. Sudden pressure surges can rupture the mucous membrane.
- The comfortable vacuum level is determined individually. You should not be guided by the reviews of others.
- Too strong vacuum should not be created, since a prolonged cessation of blood circulation leads to the death of some cells. This will only exacerbate the existing problems. Such damage may be irreparable.
- Pumping time should not exceed 20 minutes, as a heavy load can cause complications.
- Too frequent treatments will not be beneficial.
- In no case should the testicles get inside the flask. To prevent this, it is necessary to correctly determine the diameter of the bulb.
NOTE!The use should be deliberate and rational, there is no need to go beyond the reasonable, and then problems will not arise. A man should remember that with natural intercourse, too strong a vacuum is excluded, therefore, creating it artificially in most cases is fraught with consequences.
Varieties
There are several types of vacuum erectors. They differ in technical characteristics and design features:
- Manual with pear. . . In the process of pressing the pear, air is pumped out. A relief valve is located at the base to help bring the pressure back to normal. This design is considered the simplest. It is easy to operate and is perfect 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 relief valve can be located 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 a pear.
- Automatic.It has a compartment for rechargeable batteries, so the pumping is done automatically, the man does not need to put any effort into it. You can only focus on adjusting the air release. The cost of automatic models is higher than manual ones.
- Hydropump. . . The phallus is massaged with water, which is filled in the inner space of the device. In this case, not air is pumped out, but liquid. For use, the structure is completely immersed in water, so it is most convenient to do this in the bathroom. Use in other rooms can cause additional problems. Lubrication is not required in this case.
- Penis pump. . . A small design, in a flask of which only the head is placed. Since it is on this part of the organ that a huge number of sensitive points and nerve endings are located, this modification is quite effective. Another advantage is compactness.
A man can evaluate 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 pre-determined in order to compare it with the characteristics of the cylinder:
- The length should be no less than the size of the phallus in an erect state, plus another 5 or more centimeters. For overweight men, you need to add a couple of centimeters in addition.
- To determine the diameter, you need to measure the circumference of the penis in a state of erection, divide this amount by π (equal to 3. 14) and add 2-3 centimeters. The resulting number will be a guideline for the diameter specified in the product description.
If pumping is carried out according to the packing method, then 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 determine how much progress has been made in increasing length thanks to the device.
Another element is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable level of vacuumization and quickly return to it next time.
Some varieties are equipped with cock rings to help prolong erection. There are additional structures inside the cylinder that give the surface a roughness, a spiked structure, etc. for a punchy sensation. Also, some models have a vibration mode, which adds piquancy.
Where can I buy
There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: in an online store or in a stationary sex shop. You can inquire about the presence of a certificate, which indicates all the technical characteristics. The seller must advise on all issues that arise when choosing.
The cost depends on materials, manufacturer, availability of additional structural parts.
