(Q.) Can I ejaculate while I wear a cock ring?

(A.) Yes, you will be able to ejaculate with a cock ring on and it's safe to do so. A cock ring will help to prevent premature ejaculation but you will eventually ejaculate. Many men purchase a cock ring to help control premature ejaculation and it's quite effective.

(Q.) What is the purpose of a donut or sleeve?

(A.) A donut or sleeve is the term used to describe the accessory that creates the airtight seal at the base of the penis pump, the part that protects your penis from the cylinder and seals off the bottom to allow vacuum suction in the cylinder.

Most penis pumps usually have a thin latex rubber sheath and some penis pumps may have a donut, which is a thick jelly or silicone ring that fits around the lip on the cylinder, like a can cover for a tin can. Some high end penis pumps have a latex sheath but it is thicker and made of high grade latex which makes quite a difference in the comfort and effectiveness of your penis pumping.

The silicone donut is allot more comfortable, it has more padding and better suction because of the thick layer of material that conforms to every vein and bulge giving a better airtight seal. The rubber gives a good seal but not as comfortable because its a thin layer between the plastic cylinder and your penis.

If you are intending to use your penis pump on a regular basis for penis enhancement, then a donut is recommended for your long term comfort or the other option is to combine the latex seal with a proper penis pumpers lubricant, this will provide amazing comfort and a perfectly airtight seal, and penis pump lubricant will help seal the sheath of a lower end penis pump as well making it alot more comfortable and effective. If you are using the penis pump simply to get an erection every once in a while, then a simple sheath will do fine, however it will not be as comfortable.

(Q.) What are the different types of cylinders for penis pumps?

(A.) Most penis pump cylinders are made of plastic, some are made of acrylic. Plastic can crack or break where as acrylic might scratch easier but is less likely to break. Acrylic is a type of glass, it is more transparent and high grade then plastic. Most high end professional penis pump cylinders have a flared base for a better fit at the base of the penis, this allows for better blood suction into the penis and when you exercise the base of your penis, it makes your erection stand higher which makes your penis look bigger and stronger.

Most cylinders are standard sized at about 8 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide.
If you are looking for a longer cylinder, the Big Man Pump is the largest pump available.

(Q.) How many minutes are you supposed to pump your penis?

(A.) Pump the air out of the cylinder until your penis becomes fully erect. Try to use consistent, slow and steady suction and take your time. every man will be different on the amount of time it takes to get an erection. Pump your penis until it becomes fully erect.

Never pump past the point where you feel too much pressure or pain because you could cause vascular injury, meaning you could erupt your blood vessels in your penis which will result in a painful and sometimes dangerous bruise. Once your penis is fully erect, stop pumping and leave the penis pump in place for about 5 minutes to engorge it a little more with blood and then release the air.

(Q.) How do you release the vacuum on the penis pump?

(A.) There are two ways that penis pumps are designed to release pressure. Some penis pumps have a quick release valve normally located on the hand bulb that either pushes in or turns to release air in the cylinder. When you release the air, it flows out the cylinder, up the tubing and out the bulb. This allows air to escape gradually.

Some penis pumps have a finger valve where you put your thumb over the hole to create air-tight vacuum. As you pump, your thumb will block any air escape, this method is effective because your thumb will get sucked into the hole completely blocking it off. When its time to release pressure, remove your thumb and air will escape immediately releasing the pressure in the cylinder. Both types of penis pumps have advantages and disadvantages. Releasing air quickly is better because there is less chance that you penis will be suffocated.

On the other hand, while you are pumping with your thumb over a hole, there is a chance that your thumb could slip, all the air will be released and you will have to start all over again. A penis pump with a bulb quick release valve allows for one hand operation which is easier and more effective. Comparing the two styles of penis pump release mechanisms side by side, the quick release valve on the hand bulb is more effective, consistent and easy to use,better for long term use. If you only use you penis pump every once in a while to get an erection, not consistently for enlarging your penis then the thumb hole method is fine, cylinders with a thumb release are less expensive then a cylinder with a release valve on the bulb.

(Q.) Why do some penis pumps vibrate?

(A.) The vibrating penis pump has no effect on its effectiveness, it simply adds pleasure for you. Some types of penis pumps have a vibrating bullet wrapped around the cylinder. This is intended to vibrate near your testicles or to make the whole penis pump vibrate helping to increase stimulation and arousing you. It is good to use a vibrating penis pump before sex if you have a difficulty getting an erection because the feeling of the vibrations might help you get erect quicker. Some men use vibrating penis pumps to masturbate.

(Q.) Why should I use lubricant with my penis pump?

(A.) Lubricant is highly recommended for two reasons. The first reason is that a proper lubricant will allow a perfect airtight seal by filling the gaps between your penis and the sheath of the penis pump. Penis pump lubricant almost works like grout on tile, filling the microscopic holes. Using a lubricant that is designed for use with penis pumps is not necessary but is highly recommended if you want to see results because the slightest amount of air leakage will delay your results.

The penis pump lubricants are thicker then regular personal lubricants and they are usually made of a silicone compound without any petroleum or oil based compounds. Oil or petroleum will destroy the latex sheath of your penis pump, creating visible holes and you will have to replace your penis pump. The second reason it is highly recommended to use lubricant with your penis enlargement pump is because it reduces friction around your penis from the sheath and the cylinder and prevents any pulled hairs or uncomfortable rubbing on your delicate tissue.

Apply a small amount around the base of your penis and in the inside of the cylinder on the sheath, basically anywhere that your penis comes into contact with the penis pump cylinder.
Never use vaseline or any oil-based lubricant because it will disintegrate the rubber or jelly material. We carry many of the best penis pump lubricants, they are designed specifically for men to use while using a penis vacuum pump because they have the perfect viscosity, lubricity and thickness to provide a airtight comfortable, seal.

(Q.) What is the difference between a penis pump, erection pump and penis vacuum pump?

(A.) A penis pump, erection pump and penis vacuum pump are all terms used to describe an object which has a cylinder that is designed to create a vacuum suction by use of a bulb, plunger or pistol pump. There are many synonyms for the word penis pump and they all mean the same thing.

(Q.) Who uses penis pumps?

(A.) The majority of men who pump are older men who have a difficult time getting or maintaining an erection. Not just only for men with erectile dysfunction, the pump can serve you well even if you can still get an erection but it does not seem to be as hard as it used to.

Younger men who want to give their penis an immediate larger appearance use them as well as it makes your erection more full then normal.

Men with medical conditions use the penis pump, as do men whio have had prostate surgery or other surgeries. We have many customers who have doctors who have suggested they use a pump to regain the passion that their sex life once had.
