To improve and diversify intimate relationships, partners often turn to all kinds of toys and devices. Some of them are designed not only to bring novelty to the sex life, but also to improve the functions of the genital organs and maintain them in a healthy state. The vacuum pump is one of the widely advertised devices that are in great demand among men and, in their own judgment, a very effective device.
Their use allows you to maintain and restore the health of the penis, strengthen its erection, and with regular use - to achieve an increase in male size. And although the manufacturers of vacuum pumps often promise near-instant effects from using them, in reality the size of the penis is often only slightly and short-lived.
Vacuum therapy was developed abroad. Vacuum pumps are mainly used by doctors during recovery from erectile dysfunction and during penile rehabilitation after prostate surgery or after radiation therapy.
At the same time, disputes over the benefits and harms of water pumping are ongoing. And while this equipment can often only cause harm if it is used improperly, it can be helpful for both partners to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of vacuum pumps. This will allow them to decide - whether to use the device in their sex life or is it better to refuse it?
What is a vacuum pump and how does it work?
Vacuum pumps are of two types:
- Electricity. Equipped with an electric pump, when the pump is turned on, will pump the air out of it more independently and evenly.
- Handmade. They are a cylindrical tube 20 cm long, 7 cm in diameter, connected to a hand pump, the air is pumped out of the cylinder.
In higher end pumps, there is an intensity regulator that forms a vacuum in the cylindrical tube.
The essence of this device is simple: a component placed in a vacuum pump experiences a uniform pressure drop. When the pressure increases, blood circulation is activated, the blood flow to the penis increases and it becomes much larger than during a normal erection.
According to the observations of experts, it is possible to achieve an increase in male dignity by several centimeters, and in length - by 4-5 centimeters. When the pressure drops, blood circulation returns to normal and the penis returns to its previous size.
What are the pros and cons of such a warm-up male genitalia, we will consider further.
Why are vacuum pumps useful?
Vacuum pumps have their indisputable advantages.
Firstly, the ability to use this device properly will allow those who cannot achieve this naturally to achieve an erection. The effectiveness of the inflatable will be increased if you combine it with special drugs to enhance erection that your doctor will prescribe for you.
Second, buying a breast pump will be much cheaper than treating erectile dysfunction in a clinic.
Third, the fact that the pump has no complications and subsequent side effects, not to mention the many drugs that improve erection.
Fourth, after using the vacuum pump, it is possible to preserve the anatomy and restore the man's natural sexual functions. But the use of an implant or an injectable course of treatment can cause anatomical changes or trauma to the penis.

- the appearance of bruises, red or purple spots on the skin (the cause of this is usually injured capillaries and accompanying subcutaneous hemorrhage);
- the appearance of numbness (due to prolonged exposure to low pressure on the penis);
- skin discoloration (darkening), excessive dryness of the penis (occurs for the same reason as numbness).
Most side effects are short-term. Everything returned to normal right after the vacuum treatment. And to reduce the risk of them manifesting, it is important to gradually increase the pressure and use a vacuum pump equipped with a pressure gauge.
Vacuum pumps also have some disadvantages
Firstly, before performing a pump, which leads to an erection, the penis should be as relaxed as possible - this is a prerequisite for the effectiveness of the procedure. Relaxation implied before ejaculation.
Second, it is necessary to strictly follow the developed course of treatment, providing for pumping sessions every day. Each section must be at least 45 minutes long.

In total, this process usually takes about 20 minutes.
You need to gradually increase the time of exposure to the vacuum - 30 seconds, one minute, two, … At the same time, you need to increase the time to rest.
If the erection goes away too quickly, use an erection ring to limit blood flow from the penis.
