I'm very happy to have stumbled upon your website. After 8 weeks of using SizeGenetics, I'm at 6.9'' and looking to break the 7'' mark soon! This is truly a life-changing experience!

Do penis pumps really work?

There is definitely a lot of misinformation when it comes to penis pumps. The purpose of this article is to set the record straight as to the benefits and drawbacks of using a penis pump and its long-term effect on penis size.

What is a penis pump?

A penis pump is a fairly simple device that consists of a hollow tube with a ring base on one end and a pump attached to the other end. The tube slides over the penis so that the ring is fitted around the base of the shaft. Then the pump is used to create a vacuum in the tube, which consequently draws blood to your penis, engorging it and making it appear larger. The ring at the base of your shaft prevents the blood from leaving the penis, leading to fuller and stronger erections.

While the pumps can certainly be effective for men suffering from erection problems, as well as those with certain medical conditions, there is no long-term impact on the penis size. After the pump is taken off, the erection will go away and so will any termporary gains in size.

Is using a penis pump dangerous?

Using a penis pump improperly and/or too often is very likely to lead to a number of medical problems. It may burst blood vessels in the penis, peel skin, cause lymph blisters on the glands of your penis and thus cause significant pain. Over the long run, it reduces the duration of the erections and makes achieving one without a pump very problematic. In some cases, the effect of forcing blood abruptly into your penis may lead to temporary impotence.

So whats the consensus?

The potential problems caused by using penis pumps far outweigh any temporary benefits. Furthermore, pumps are unsuitable for spontaneous occastions, have a very short-lasting effect (about 30 minutes) and can lead to scars, blood vessel rupture and even gangrene, amongst other things. Thats why when it comes to penis enlargement, you're much better off using a proven penis enlargement technique with no adverse effect on your long-term health.
