How to Choose a Penis Pump

With a variety of pumps to choose from, many men have difficulty deciding which type of pump to buy. Vitality Medical offers some guidance as to choosing your first vacuum erection pump.

Manual vs. Battery One of the first decisions a man must make is whether they want a battery or manual pump. Battery operated pumps work by simply pressing a button, by first creating a seal between the skin and the pump cylinder and then suction can commence. One example of the manual lever variety is the Impo Aid Manual Vacuum Kit

Manually operated pumps work by a hand operation. This operation will vary between brands but are generally operated by pushing in a round plunger on the end of the cylinder, or operated by squeezing a lever that is attached to an ergonomically designed hand grip.

If you don’t know which one to try first, the most economical option is the Encore Deluxe Battery and Manual pump. These impotence pumps are both battery and manually operated, so you can try it both ways.



The Encore deluxe is a good pump for the price. It’s like the Toyota Camry of impotence pumps.

Economical vs. Luxury Many customers want to know the difference between the more expensive and the less expensive pumps. All of the pumps have a government-regulated level of suction.
However, some pumps may create a better seal between the cylinder and the skin. The Timm Osbon Erec-aid Esteem pumps feature a smooth edge that is more comfortable against the skin, creating a good seal. The Erec-aid is like the Porsche of the penis pump world.

Pos-T-Vac is a widely known brand of vacuum erection pump. They make both luxury and economical pumps BOS-2000-2 features a straight cylinder and it couldn't be easier to use.

Make sure you are ready because at the push of a button suction will commence. This pump features one adapter bushing and a carry bag. The fancier version of the Pos-T-Vac is the MVP 700. This is like the Cadillac of impotence pumps with luxury features, such as three various sized adapter bushings, a sleek, zippered carrying case and our most popular tension bands.


Warranty Warranties are an important consideration with penis pumps. They are an item that should be used frequently when using them for therapeutic purposes. The Encore and Timm Osbon brand of pumps are backed by a lifetime warranty, so if your pump is 13 years old and the cylinder cracks, they will send you a new one free of charge.

On Pos-T-Vac pumps the warranty will vary. Some of the more economical models do not have a warranty, but the Erect-Tech penis pump features a 1 year manufacturer’s warranty.
