Losing the ability to achieve or maintain an erection can be a life-altering experience and change in mental health status for many males around the globe. With this loss of function and sexual normalcy, many reach out to prescription support, surgical intervention, or try a variety of sexual health devices, including penis pumps.
While many medical professionals route immediately to prescribing prescriptions to help with erectile support, and other offer penile implants as a permanent “fix,” many others are now telling their patients to try vacuum pump therapy before taking such extreme measures.
Vacuum support devices, or penis pumps, are devices designed to give those individuals who own a penis that might not be working as it should be to feel pleasure, achieve a temporary erection that can be firm enough for penetrative sex acts. If the user practices penis pump therapy, which is working with their pump three to five times a week for ten to fifteen minutes each round, can help trigger muscle memory in the penile tissues and cells, and help to gradually build stamina, reserves, and penile function (NIH).
Penis pumps are a wonderful, cost-effective way to begin working towards restoring your function and taking back your intimacy and sexual needs. These devices do help with temporary erections, but it should be noted that they do not provide a permanent fix or increase size or girth permanently. These benefits can be seen temporarily, often for up to one hour after use- but this depends on the user and their situation and circumstance.
There are numerous options for air-pressure vacuum penis pump devices all over the internet and inside of your favorite local sex shops. The key is to ensure the pump you pick offers the benefits, pieces, and perks that you are looking for. For some people, just the simplest of pumps is sufficient to get pump therapy done. For others, they prefer more “bells and whistles,” so to speak.

Lubrication to use with Vacuum Air-Pump Devices
Another important aspect of vacuum air-pump use for erectile dysfunction therapy is the use of lubrication. While many people refuse to even try it, lubrication provides a protective friction barrier, helping to keep the penile shaft and tissues safe during activity. These lubrications are some of the best for use with pump and personal stimulation for men.
Wicked Simply Aqua Jelle Water Based Lubrication
Regardless of the type of air pressure pump, or water pump, you are going to choose, be sure you also set yourself up with a high-quality lubrication to ensure your fragile, sensitive skin is protected from friction. The Wicked Simply Aqua Jelle Water Based Lubrication is great to use with these vacuum support devices and many other pumps on the market.
Wicked Sensual Care Masturbation Creme for Men
If you are a person who enjoys self-pleasure mixed with pump therapy or pleasure, consider an alternative masturbation crème lubricant to provide a friction barrier and support the extra friction that will be occurring. The Wicked Sensual Care Masturbation Crème for Men is a silicone-based crème that is long-lasting and offers a thicker friction barrier.
If you are having trouble deciding which vacuum air-pump might be best for your circumstances, do not hesitate to reach out to our experts with your questions. Remember, always be sure to use the directions that come with the pump you are using and not another brand!
