Using a penis pump isn’t very complicated. But your friends at Adam and Eve know a few special tricks to make your pumping sessions more effective. Click here to learn how to maximize your size while using a penis pump and maintain your gains afterwards.

How to Use Penis Pumps

Using a penis pump is pretty straightforward and very rewarding as long as you follow these basic steps and helpful hints:

  1. Apply a thin layer of water-based lube around the opening of the penis pump and your crotch.

  2. Slide your shaft into the open end of the penis pump cylinder and press it firmly against your crotch. Your pumping session will be more effective if there’s a soft sleeve around the opening of the cylinder. The sleeve helps create a stronger seal, so you don’t have to pump as hard or as long. The sleeve also makes your penis pump feel more comfortable and helps keeps your balls from being sucked inside. If your penis pump doesn’t come with a sleeve, we offer replacement sleeves.

  3. Start pumping with your other hand, while continuing to press the cylinder against your crotch. Every squeeze removes air from inside the penis pump to create a vacuum. This vacuum pulls extra blood into your shaft to boost your girth and length. If your penis pump comes with a clear cylinder, you can even watch your shaft grow bigger and bigger. Some penis pumps include a ruler on the side to measure your growth as well as pressure gauges to monitor the vacuum-tight seal.

  4. After reaching your desired size, press the release button to break the vacuum-tight seal and remove the penis pump. Without the pump, your penis will quickly return to its normal size. However, you can preserve your new-found gains as long as possible by slipping a penis ring around the base of your shaft. You’ll still experience some shrinkage, but the ring can help keep that to a minimum.

Remember that penis pumps and penis rings interfere with your circulation. And you should never use them for longer than 30 minutes for safety.

Penis Pump FAQ

penis pump

Adam and Eve gets questions every day about penis pumps, and we’ve answered several of the most common here. If you’ve got a question about penis pumps that’s not listed below, then contact our 24/7 customer service center for help.

Do pumps really make my penis bigger?

Yes, they do. Penis pumps are one of the few scientifically proven methods to increase the size of your penis. Pumps generally affect your girth the most, though shorter than average men can also see noticeable results.

How long does a penis pump’s effect last?

The increase in penis size is temporary and you’ll begin to shrink once you remove yourself from the pump. You can use a penis ring to maintain your gains for sex but eventually your penis will go back to its normal size. To permanently boost the size of your shaft, you’d have to use a pump several times a day for several months. Most people just don’t have that kind of patience.

How do penis pumps work?

Penis pumps have a large cylinder that fits around your shaft to form an air-tight seal. Pumping removes air to create a vacuum inside the cylinder. This vacuum pulls extra blood inside your penis to make your shaft thicker and longer. A penis ring helps you retain the extra blood, so you can make the most out of your new size.

What penis pump do you recommend?

That depends primarily on your experience level and budget. We generally recommend that beginners stick with basic, lower-priced models. If you really enjoy it, then you can upgrade your pump later. If you’re already familiar with penis pumps, then you should check out all the special features found in our more expensive models to find one that fits all your needs. Some higher-end penis pumps feature motorized pumps, built-in vibrators, and other great options.

Can I get off while using a penis pump?

Penis pumps aren’t designed for masturbation. Theoretically one could use a penis pump for masturbation, but it would be uncomfortable and difficult. If you want a sex toy for masturbation, you’ll have much more fun with a realistic stroker.
