How to Use a Penis Pump

Penis pump

If you have recently purchased a penis pump but don’t know how to use it, you’ve come to the right place. Our guide will help you use your pump safely and effectively so that you can enjoy its full benefits, including a larger member and harder erections.

The LOVE Team will guide you step by step, explaining the different steps of use and giving you useful tips on how to achieve the best possible results.

1. Apply some lube to the pump

Whether you’re using a manual or automatic pump, it is important to lubricate the ring or sleeve of your pump to make it easier to glide in and out. You can also apply some lube to your penis for more comfort and pleasure. We recommend using a water-based formula, especially if the ring or sleeve is made of silicone.

2. Make sure your penis is hard

Your penis should be erect, or at least semi-erect, so that you can insert it into the pump easily. If not, feel free to masturbate (manually or with another sex toy) until you achieve an erection.

3. Slide yourself into the penis pump

Insert your penis as far as possible into the pump so that the base of the tube is pressed against your pubic bone. This will create an airtight space, which is essential for the pump to work properly.

4. Start pumping

If you have a manual pump, squeeze the bulb or pull the handle (depending on the model of pump you have) to trigger the vacuum action in the tube, emptying out the air. If you have an automatic pump, it's even easier: in most cases, you just press a button (on the toy itself or on the remote control)... and that's it!

5. Keep on pumping

Keep pumping until your erection is as hard as possible. Stop every now and then to check that everything is OK: your penis should not change colour and you should not feel any pain. If you do, stop pumping immediately.
Love Team Tip
Opt for a model with a built-in manometer, so that you can measure the size of your penis as it grows.

6. Press the decompression valve once you’ve finished your session

For your health and safety, do not use a pump for more than 20 minutes at a time. At the end of your session, press the decompression valve to let air back into the tube.

7. Pull out of the tube

Gently remove your penis from the tube to enjoy your enhanced erection. Your new erection will last between 20 and 30 minutes. To prolong the effect, you can use a cock ring, but make sure that you take it off after 20 minutes.

8. Clean your penis pump after your session

Remember to clean your pump thoroughly with warm water and mild soap after every session. Allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, cool area away from prying eyes. It will be as good as new for your next session!
