Since the beginning of mankind, men have been unsatisfied with the performance and aesthetic of their penises. Every guy wishes to achieve strong erections and have the fullest, healthiest penis they can possibly have; and rightfully so. As a man your sexual health is not only an important part of your overall health, but maintaining this health gives you self-confidence and an air of vigor. In recent years, men of all ages have faced marketing for erectile dysfunction, penis enlargement pills and other sexual health supplements. At the base of this marketing is the ideology that every man wants to be good in bed. Which is why with the increase in marketing, it can be hard for the average joe to determine if they really need any of these products, and if so, which ones are right for them.
The aim of this review is to help you decide which penis pump may be right for you or your partner and to explore the scientific principles behind penis pumps and how they work; and the question on everyone’s lips, if they really do work?
What Is A Penis Pump?
Many men are intrigued by the idea of penis pumps, but are sceptical of their purpose, especially since penis pumps are usually portrayed as jokes in movies. With that in mind, penis pumps are made to give men a stronger, longer lasting and a larger erection. They are usually made of two parts; the main cylindrical chamber which you fit over your penis, it has a seal at the base creating a vacuum within the chamber. The second part is a pump that applies pressure to the chamber using water or air, which works to enlarge your erection.

When the penis pump is pumped, this negative pressure draws out air and allows blood to flood the penis. Once an erection is achieved, a constrictive band or cock ring is placed on the base of the penis to retain the erection for the period of intercourse.
The Three Types Of Penis Pumps
There are three main types of penis pumps; the most common is the mechanical penis pump. They have squeezable handles that operate the pump which means you can control the pressure and pace of pumping. They are suitable for beginners and come in different sizes which is great as you need to measure your penis size to purchase the correct sized chamber. When you are using the penis pump make sure to monitor the pressure gauge and observe physical changes in the colour of the penis. If the penis turns purple, the pressure is too high and each pumping set should not exceed 15 minutes. It is also advisable to release the pump every ten to 15 minutes to allow fresh blood to flow into the penis.

Another common type of penis pump is the electric pump; battery operated and a bit more sophisticated than the average manual pump. They work automatically just by being switched on, and the pump monitors the pressure by itself. They’re best for people with low dexterity or poor physical strength and are less likely to cause injuries.
The third type are hydro-pumps and are relatively new. They’ve gained mass popularity over the years as their use of water limits the overall amount of pressure and are therefore safer than traditional penis pumps. With hydro-pumps it’s almost impossible to over pump and the sensation of the pump is described as a drag and pull rather than constrictive.
How To Choose A Penis Pump
When choosing a penis pump, always choose a pump with a transparent chamber; this way you can monitor the colour of your penis and pressure levels as you proceed. Also make sure that the chamber is the correct size; the general rule is to choose a chamber that is a 2cm larger than the erect girth to leave room for expansion. For someone seeking to increase length, choose a cylinder that fits snugly around the sides so only vertical expansion is possible, and vice versa.
One of the most famous penis pumps that we’ve actually got in store is the Bathmate; it is specifically designed to have effects on penis size and erection quality. It can be used in the shower and is safer than regular pumps as it exerts pressure evenly. It is also fitted with a pressure gauge that indicates levels of pressure from 90 - 200mm. The Bathmate chambers come in different transparent colours such as red, pink, blue and clear. A separate cleaning kit can be ordered for proper maintenance of the device.
Overall, it’s been proven on scientific media that penis pumps work to give you strong, long lasting erections when used consistently. Proper research should be conducted if you are looking to buy a penis pump but can be a worthwhile investment for those men seeking to enhance their penis.
