What Is a Penis Pump?
A penis pump is a manual device using vacuum power to create a temporary erection. These devices may be medically recommended to manage symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED) or aid individuals who have difficulty sustaining an erection. Your doctor may steer you toward a device or provide a prescription.
Medical penis pumps are operated manually or use battery power, and use a combination of a tension ring and vacuum action to draw blood to this area.
How to Use a Penis Pump
The cylinder is typically made of hardened plastic that is transparent and smooth. It will typically come in a standard adjustable size. Alternate-size cylinders are sometimes available through the manufacturer for those with unique sizing requirements.
The pump attaches to the cylinder to remove the air within the chamber. For convenience, a motorized unit can be powered on to create adequate low pressure within the tube in seconds. Some people may prefer to use a manual pump to get the perfect pressure and to be able to stop the pressure reduction with more accuracy. When choosing a motorized penis pump, a quick-release mechanism is a good feature to look for if the user is concerned about injury.
Tension bands fasten onto the base of the penis and are used after the erection is achieved. Most cylinders have a loading cone to slide the elastic ring onto the cylinder, and a ring ejector to glide the penis ring gently onto the shaft of the penis. Tension bands are sometimes used alone if the patient can achieve an erection without pumping but needs assistance maintaining hardness. The rings sometimes have loops on the outside to assist with positioning and removal.
A Note on Lubricant
When considering vacuum erection devices to address erectile dysfunction, patients may want to ensure comfort by using personal lubricant with the penis pump. Lubricant can assist with preparing the penis for the ED vacuum pump. Lubricant will be needed to get that perfect seal between the penis and the cylinder. The lubricant also will make sliding the tension band onto the base of the penis easier. After the ring comes off the cylinder and goes onto the penis, it's helpful to apply lubricant to the penis. The lubricant may also be helpful during intercourse, especially if a partner experiences vaginal dryness.
