Okay, I obviously am not the one who used this pump, so I'm going to just get a few particulars out of the way as well as my opinion before turning this review over to hubby. He has been really interested in trying out a penis pump for quite some time, so he was overjoyed to be receiving Dr. Joel's penis and scrotum pump from Doc Johnson! I was extremely happy for him and once it arrived, we couldn't wait to try it out. We were NOT using this pump in the attempt to enlarge hubby's penis! There are no studies to suggest that a pump will enlarge your penis at all so, don't expect that! Penis pumps are also used for erectile dysfunction|Penis Pump Guide: Further Reading, premature ejaculation and probably other things as well. We wanted a pump to see if it could help with stamina as well as to help maintain a rock hard erection longer during lovemaking. Unfortunately, this pump turned out to be more of a chore in my opinion. Mostly because after a long day and finally getting the kids settled down for the night, it was time to try and help hubby get this pump to work out right for him. First, you are supposed to warm the penis with either a warm shower/bath or use a warm, wet cloth held on the penis to warm it up. The directions say to never try and pump a cold penis so, we warmed it up. Next, you are to massage the penis for a few minutes which wasn't a problem for either of us. Then you are to warm it up again with a warm cloth, lube it up generously as well as lubing the flared base of the cylinder tube you will be using before pumping|Pumping Techniques. The instruction booklet says to always use an oil-based lube for this.

The instructions also state to re-lube and re-massage the penis/scrotum at least every 15-20 minutes which is the safest way to ensure you won't damage anything! Oddly enough though, the next paragraph in the instructions state that each pump session should last 30 minutes for the first week, increasing each session 5-10 minutes each week until you reach a pumping time of one to two hours per session. I'm not sure if they expect you to leave it on that long per session or not but, I HIGHLY recommend taking it off at least every 20 minutes! That is, if you can get it to work correctly which we failed at...

While this pump set has quick connect tubes that allow for an emergency release valve|Release valve will be used every time you play with your penis pump. on the top of each tube as well as an emergency pressure relief lever on the pump handle itself, we could not get it to seal up and not leak air. It is supposed to maintain pressure in the tube so you can disconnect the quick release from the tube and just leave the tube itself on but, we found this to be impossible because the air pressure needed constant adjustment. I also thought the handle seemed a bit flimsy for the price. I really don't expect it to last long and considering the substantial cost of this item, I won't be recommending it to anyone soon!

What's included: 1 penis/scrotum cylinder; 1 penis cylinder (both of which are made of acrylic); flexible hose; pump handle with pressure gauge; instruction manual; sample of "stallion pumpers lube"; 2 rubber cock rings; 90 day limited warranty card; daily program record (one sheet of paper); and Dr. Joel's pump 24 hour tech line phone number in case you need help, but it will cost you $2.95/min!

That's all that I really have to say about it. It was a horrible let down, we couldn't get it to work correctly so, there was no change in hubby whatsoever. Don't waste your time or money...

His opinion:

My experience with this pump was disastrous! For starters, it just would not maintain pressure no matter what I did. I tried this pump standing, sitting and lying down... nothing mattered. I had to constantly pump the handle every few seconds in order to maintain the proper pressure of 12 inches of mercury (never exceed 15!).

While using the penis cylinder|Cylinder is the key element of any penis pump, it always seemed to try and suck my scrotum sack up into the cylinder too which was rather uncomfortable to say the least! When using the scrotum/penis cylinder, the flared base was always positioned on my pubic bone which also caused discomfort! It almost seemed like a torture device!

The tubing going from the cylinder to the pump handle repeatedly came unattached from the quick connect fittings on either cylinder which also created a loss in pressure. I don't think I was ever able to even keep one of these cylinders on for 10 minutes straight without something going awry!

There were two rubber cock rings included in this set. The idea is to put one of these solid, rubber cock rings on before taking the penis pump off, but these are solid rubber cock rings that will not fit over the flared base of the cylinder. I'm really confused on how you are supposed to make that work...

The pump handle itself seemed cheaply made to me. It's made from plastic and every time I squeeze the handle, I expect it to break. It makes a weird popping noise sometimes when you squeeze it.

All, in all, this penis/scrotum pump|Dr Joel's penis and scrotum pump is messy to use due to the lube required for the penis and the flared base, bulky to store, doesn't maintain pressure correctly, so is not worth the price tag! I highly recommend you pass on this one and look into a better made pump if you are truly getting a penis pump|Penis pumps info! This one is just not worth it.

Well, nothing my husband did to this could make it work. He tried using clamps on the tubes, he tried shaving, and I'm not sure but I think he even tried duct tape to no avail. He eventually broke the plastic handle trying to get it to work and that was the end of the story.

We're both confident that there are better options out there, and highly advise that you look around before purchasing. This one's been nothing but a frustration and headache for us, and we'd hate to see anyone else suffer as we have. It's too bad really because this one has such good potential. It just simply wasn't built sturdy enough.
