You may be surprised to learn that penis pumps are a widely used device and by no means a product specifically for men anymore. The more people understand what exactly this device is capable of, the more its popularity.
Penis pumps can be used for a variety of purposes. Some men use it to temporarily improve erections, others use it for long -term size increase potential, and others use it to treat erectile dysfunction and help them maintain a healthy erection during masturbation or sex.
With all that said, here is a guide on how to use a penis pump safely.
How does a Penis Pump Work?
A penis pump is simply a cylinder that is placed on top of the penis and uses the pump to create suction in the cylinder. When you pump air or water, depending on the pump, it leaves the pump and your penis expands into the area created by the negative pressure.
This draws blood into the shaft of the penis and creates a strong erection as there is more blood in the blood vessels than usual. Once you release the pressure, your penis will gradually return to its normal size, but with the use of an erection ring after a pump, many men find that they can maintain an erection for the entire game session.
With long -term use, some men also find that their size is constantly increasing.
Unlike most medications, penis pumps are affordable, easy to use, require no prescription, and are far more dangerous than more invasive treatments.
This does not mean that the use of penis pumps is not associated with risk. They can cause pain, swelling, discoloration, and long -term damage to penile tissue, but if you know how to use your pump properly, you can avoid these problems easily.
It all depends on knowing how to use your pump safely, because once you do, the benefits far outweigh the risks.
Rule #1 on how to use a penis pump safely: follow the instructions!
There are thousands of different penis pumps, and although they work basically the same, there will be little difference from pump to pump.
The best way to be safe and avoid injury while pumping is to follow these instructions down to the last detail.
Locate the pump with the pressure gauge
Even if you follow the instructions, it is easy to go overboard with leveling, especially if you are new to leveling. I recommend looking for a penis pump with a pressure gauge or vacuum limiter.
The manometer will show you the pressure while pumping so you can keep track of how much you apply to your penis.
The vacuum limiter, on the other hand, will prevent pumping by limiting the amount of pressure in the cylinder for you.
Use a comfortable penis pad or pump sleeve
A comfortable cushion or penis pump sleeve will add cushioning to the part of the pump that connects to your skin. Penis pumps are tricky!
It’s made of a hard material, and unless you have something soft between the skin and the cylinder, it will be a bit uncomfortable to use. Too much stress in relation to your sensitive skin can also cause bruising, making it uncomfortable the next time you express it.
The penis sleeve will also help create a strong sealing between the pump and the skin. You need a tight sealing so you can create enough suction inside the cylinder. Sleeves or pads can also help keep the scrotum on the outside of the pump, which is exactly where you want it. An oversized pump cylinder can leave room for the ball to be sucked in, but a sleeve or pad can block it.
Peduli
Another way to keep the sealing tight is to cut your pubic hair as short as possible. Ideally, you can completely shave the area with a wax or shave it off. But if you just cut it, it will help keep it beautiful and durable.
If you find yourself following instructions and can’t make a strong enough print, this may be the cause.
Lube is your friend
Apply a small amount of water -based lubricant around the pad or sleeve to create an effective sealing between the skin and the pump. Try not to over -lubricate as this can cause it to be too slippery. Apply a little first and see how you proceed.
Find the right cylinder size for your body
Choosing the right size pump is very important to avoid injury. A pump that is too small will not provide enough pressure to change the size of the erection. On the other hand, a pump that is too large will give too high a pressure, as there is a higher risk of pumping. If the pump is too large in width, this may also mean you cannot make a seal and will not give any results.
Look carefully at the product description and remove the measuring tape.
You need to measure your penis in a relaxed and upright position to best determine the size of your pump.
The result is a cylinder that fits comfortably while still leaving enough space to expand. And keep in mind that in fact you will increase your size at most a few inches. Therefore, do not leave too much room for growth.
Do not over -pump
This is especially important for beginners as it will be a new kind of sensation for your penis so you need to do it slowly.
When you first start, do 2-3 pumping sessions a week and don’t pump more than 15 minutes at a time. Once you feel more comfortable with the process and suction, you can increase your training frequency and practice more often.
It is important that your session does not exceed 15 minutes, and if you want to do it longer, take a break every 10-15 minutes. Release pressure, stretch and massage the penis to re -launch the blood to facilitate the pumping process.
Also, make sure you let your penis stop growing between each pump. If you see your penis is still expanding, do not pump again until it stops. Pumping too long without stopping or pumping too often is the biggest risk when pumping the penis. This can cause temporary injuries such as blisters, skin discoloration, and numbness of the penis.
In fact, this is all quite common among those who are new to penis pumping, and although it is temporary, it can be intimidating. If any of these things happen, you need to stop pumping and rest until you are fully recovered.
Ruptured blood vessels are another pumping risk. If this happens, it will cause immediate pain, bruising, and swelling, and can even affect your ability to have an erection for weeks or months. Another common injury caused by excessive inflation is the "donut effect" and I’m sure you can guess what it looks like from its name.
When you pump, you draw blood into the penis, but you also remove lymph fluid. This is something that happens naturally in the body, but when too much of it is pulled into the glans of the penis, it can cause swelling that creates a donut -like appearance. While it is usually harmless and temporary, if it does not go away on its own, you may need to see a doctor. And of course, if this happens, don’t pump until you’re completely healed!
While it may seem daunting, all of this can be completely avoided if you take slow steps and stick to the recommended time of each session.
Get a transparent pump so you can see what’s going on
One of the easiest ways to make sure you’re not overdoing it is to observe what’s going on and look for any signs of tension on your penis. That is why it is very important to get a pump with a clearly visible cylinder.
Look for signs of discoloration or spots of color. There will be a little redness, but too much is not good. Also notice how it tastes. You will feel the suction and pressure, but it should not be uncomfortable and certainly not painful.
In fact, some men consider it fun and feel like a blowjob because of the puffs it produces. You should have fun with leveling, and if not, something is wrong.
Pay attention to the quick release valve
This is especially important if this is your first pump. Buying a pump with a quick release valve is a major way to avoid injury.
All pumps have a valve used to relieve pressure so you can easily remove yourself from the cylinder. The quick release valve works faster and relieves pressure instantly.
This way, if something painful, discolored or swelling occurs, you can release the pressure quickly and minimize any possibility of damage.
Some people cannot use a penis pump
It is also important to note that not everyone can use a penis pump and there are some conditions where the pump cannot be used. The following people cannot use the pump.
- Patients with sickle cell anemia or any other disease that causes excessive blood clotting or bleeding.
- Anyone taking blood thinners.
- Everything with priapism.
And, if you are already taking medication for erection problems, check with your doctor to make sure penis pumping is safe for you.
Conclusion
While it may seem like there are a lot of things to consider, you’ll find that many of these precautions come naturally to you and you don’t have to think about them once you have a few of them. Follow these simple guidelines on how to use your penis pump safely and enjoy a healthy erection and a great sex life.
