I received this as part of the Eden Fantasys Review Program. I spent a long time trying to write this review and gaining experience with this pump because I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, it's not one of my favorite toys right now.

This is my first penis pump and my one and only experience with pumping. The logic behind the pump's operation is sound. You're essentially putting your cock in a vacuum chamber and lowering the pressure. This will cause blood to move into your member - and if you do everything just right, you can get more blood to go in than usual without hurting yourself. More blood = bigger penis volume. Hoorah! And let's be honest: size doesn't matter when pleasing someone who loves you, and as a (normal?) male, seeing your cock busting at a size larger than usual would probably send most male's horniness level through the freakin' roof!

This vacuum does that...sort of. I say "sort of" because there are some definite drawbacks to using this device. The first drawback comes with the rubber sleeve that you have to slide your wiener though. It needs to fit snugly to ensure that it gets a tight seal and allows the pump to do its job. To get your cock through that sleeve (at least a regular size penis like mine) you need a lot of lube. The good news is that you don't necessarily need an erection - using the pumping action will both pull your cock in and help you get a rock hard, bigger than usual, erection.

Once in, I would recommend pumping slowly and stopping the minute you start to feel the slightest bit of pain. To go further would be unwise (I would point any curious reader to wikipedia.org - just do a search for penis pump). When I did this, my cock grew about 1/2 - 1 inch! I have to admit that I had to admire what I had created through the clear plastic cylinder for a few moments. Then, I wanted to feel it in my hand, and to f*** my girlfriend to see what she thought...Oh, this pump works. It makes your cock bigger than normal.

But now for the second drawback. When it's time to withdraw your penis from its low pressure abode into the world of normal atmospheric pressure, most of what you gain is lost. It's lost because that same sleeve that ensures a tight seal for the pump to do its job also squeezes your cock and forces some blood out as you try to remove your penis. The manufacturer includes something akin to a cock ring, but it's too small and unwieldy to put on so I would recommend against using it.

At this point, I would recommend this as a novelty only. If you are using it for any sort of erectile dysfunction, I bet it would help get an erection. But if you're using it to get a super-huge cock and then maintain that, I'm not so sure this is the pump for you. I'm going to try and cut the rubber sleeve down to a size where it helps maintain a vacuum yet makes withdrawing my penis easier (to maintain erection size gains). At this point I'm nervous to try that for fear of cutting the sleeve down too short and making it useless.

Admittedly, I haven't used this pump too much because, initially, it didn't seem worth the effort. I'm happy to say that I have found a way to like it a bit more. My big problem with this pump was actually the plastic sleeve that is designed to form a tight seal around the inserted penis. It was just far too long and too tight, such that, upon withdrawing, a lot of the size gain is lost. I found that cutting the sleeve by a half-inch to an inch makes both insertion and withdrawal of my penis much easier, without losing the quality of the seal. Much of the gain in penis size is then retained (much, but not all). For men with larger girths, I think this could be a good fix if you're having the same trouble as me (I am about average in size).

I still don't think this pump will work into my regular routine, but I will bring it out for special occasions and for when I'm feeling a bit more adventurous than usual.
