Two problems that bother men more than others in the sexual sphere are the lack of a stable erection and the insufficient length of the penis. Experts have developed a device that can improve both points at the same time: male vacuum pumps. These products quickly gained popularity, which is why there are a lot of positive reviews about them. But there are still a lot of questions, so this article contains everything you need to know on this topic.
What is the device
The vacuum pump or vacuum former 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 in the prostate gland.
In the first decades, the bomb did not receive wide distribution, but over time it found many fans. This device consists of a transparent cylindrical flask, which has an inlet, but the outlet is completely sealed. There is a small hole at the back of the entrance. Most models have a communication hose attached, through which air is pumped. In other words, a vacuum erector is basically a normal 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, a special seal is placed at the inlet, which is in contact with the skin. The material for the seal is selected to be comfortable, not cold, and allergies are excluded.
How does it work
The air is gradually evacuated from the flask, due to which the pressure in the inner space is reduced, a vacuum is created. Thanks to this, the penis begins to maintain the correct shape, which accompanies an erection. During this period, an effect is felt on the reflex points and nerve endings, of which there are many on the mucous membrane of the penis, so that the penis hardens fast enough compared to a normal erection.
After creating a vacuum, the following happens:
- In the groin area, the speed of blood flow increases. In practice, it feels like heat in the lower abdomen and groin.
- The corpora cavernosa inside the penis fill with blood. Studies have shown that the blood saturation of the penis under vacuum is doubled compared to a normal erection.
- The oxygen supply increases, which has a positive effect on the state of all tissues of the genital organs.
Features
The most important question before buying a vacuum former 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;
- get sexual satisfaction;
- prolonging the time of sexual intercourse if you use the device before having intercourse;
- elimination of blood stagnation in the capillaries of the genital organ;
- prevent premature ejaculation when using a vacuum erection device before having sex;
- alignment of the penis, if it is curved due to the different filling of the corpora cavernosa with blood on the right and left sides;
- prevention of decreased libido with age or in the absence of a partner for a long time.
An increase in the size of the virility and an increase in the quality of the erection appears only with periodic and prolonged use. It is not worth waiting for the results after several times.
Important!The male pump is not curative, but prophylactic. Sexual weakness is not always associated with problems that are resolved using a pump.
Side effects
Side effects are possible if the device was used incorrectly or if the person had contraindications that he did not take into account.
Unpleasant consequences can be the following:
- 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 bruises: feeling of pain;
- Soft tissue swelling due to microtrauma.
In addition, if the erection is abused under vacuum, it can cause a decrease in libido.
Contraindications
Before resorting to this technique, you need to 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 or near the genital area;
- autoimmune disorders;
- Mental illness.
Pain when 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. Your choice depends on the goals that the man pursues. At the moment, two methods are recommended: classic and packaging.
Classic
Those who want to increase not only the length, but also the diameter of the penis, pay 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 blood of the penis.
Packaging
The 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 space inside 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
In order for everything to happen as smoothly and efficiently as possible, you must 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 washed thoroughly with a large stream of water. For disinfection, the inner volume is treated with a cotton swab soaked in miramistin, alcohol or chlorhexidine, if the man is not allergic to these agents. It is impossible to disinfect by boiling, as the flask may crack or warp in hot water.
- The phallus is lubricated with cream to enlarge or excite the penis. 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 perfectly 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 joint.
- The phallus is placed inside the device, after which it is pressed firmly against the groin. Then you need to rotate the vacuum former a couple of centimeters to the right and to the left to evenly distribute the lubricant on the contact area.
- Air pumping begins. For 15-20 seconds, the pressure is released and then by pressing the release valve, air is admitted again. The general session should initially not last more than 5 minutes. If the device is used periodically at intervals of several days, the intervals of the vacuum periods gradually increase to 20, 30 and then 40 seconds. The total exposure time is also lengthened and reaches 20 minutes.
- After use, the product is washed again. The removable nozzles are removed and washed separately. Until the next session, they are stored disassembled. If these parts are made of cybernetic silicone, they should be wiped dry and talcum-coated before storage.
During washing, be sure to pay attention not to get liquid into the battery compartment if the automatic model with batteries is disinfected.
Security requirements
Men who test negative often admit that they did not follow safety rules when using the pump. This can cause significant damage to the health of the penis and the body in general.
Manufacturers strongly recommend that you pay attention to the following points:
- If pain or discomfort occurs, the session should end 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 be done calmly, it is impossible to rush and make sudden movements. You must first test the minimum vacuum, gradually increasing it. Sudden increases in pressure can rupture the mucous membrane.
- The comfortable vacuum level is determined individually. You should not be guided by the reviews of others.
- Too strong a vacuum should not be created, as a prolonged cessation of blood circulation leads to the death of some cells. This will only aggravate existing problems. Such damage can be irreparable.
- The extraction 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 enter the flask. To avoid this, it is necessary to correctly determine the diameter of the bulb.
NOTE!The use must be deliberate and rational, there is no need to go beyond what is reasonable and then no problems will arise. A man must remember that with natural sexual 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 pear pressing process, air is pumped. There is a relief valve located in 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 piece of plastic. The pump manages to evacuate the atmosphere of the working space of the flask faster than a pear.
- Automatic.It has a rechargeable battery compartment, so the pumping is done automatically, the man does not need to put any effort into it. He can only focus on adjusting the air release. The cost of automatic models is higher than that of manuals.
- Water Pump. . . The phallus is massaged with water, which is filled into the space inside the device. In this case, not air is pumped, but liquid. For use, the structure is completely immersed in water, so it is more convenient to do this in the bathroom. Use in other rooms can cause additional problems. In this case no lubrication is required.
- Penis pump. . . A small design, in which only the head fits in the flask. Since it is in this part of the organ that a large number of tender 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 predetermined to compare with the characteristics of the cylinder:
- The length should not be less than the size of the phallus in the 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 the erect state, divide this amount by π (equal to 3. 14) and add 2-3 centimeters. The resulting number will be a guide to the diameter specified in the product description.
If the 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 updates include a scale printed on the cylinder. Thanks to it, a man can easily determine how much progress has been made in increasing length thanks to the device.
Another item is a pressure gauge. It can be used to measure a comfortable vacuum level and quickly return to it the next time.
Some varieties are equipped with penis rings to help prolong the erection. There are additional structures within the cylinder that give the surface a roughness, a barbed structure, etc. for a punchy feel. Also, some models have a vibrate mode, which adds spice.
Where can I buy
There are two ways to buy a vacuum erection device: in an online store or in a fixed 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 the materials, the manufacturer and the availability of additional structural parts.
