I'd like to know once and for all whether cock pumps actually work as I've got one but never really bother with it.

There's lots of forums saying they do but all seem a bit too good to be true. If it really worked I'd use mine a lot.

Those who've used one could you tell me

Does it work?

Starting length and girth

What pump did you use and was it air or water

How often you used it to notice a lasting difference

What your daily/weekly workout plan was with it

Any short term damage (like ballooning or burst blood vessels)

Any lasting damage (like not able to get as hard)

Do you last longer from using it


I don't mind being committed and spending time to use it, but only if it works

Being an older guy faced with occasional ED, I have wondered about this topic myself.

Seeing as the following website is from a recognized medical establishment, I would think its information is reliable:

For some reason, I am unable to post a workable link. Maybe someone can repost it so it works? Otherwise, highlight the following text and right click "Open link in new tab".

Thanks for the link, but it's hard to hear from genuine guys who've tried them and hear their feedback

Quote from the Mayo Clinic:

"Many advertisements in magazines and on the internet market penis pumps with the claim that they can be used to increase penis size, but there's no evidence that they work for this purpose. Attempting to use a penis pump specifically to enlarge your penis could cause injury."

I have been cursed with a small penis and I'd love to have a few more inches. I've researched every method and only very expensive surgery can actually give you permanent gains.

Based on my own experience, the answer is yes and no. It absolutely does enhance the size, but the balance of results are much more heavily weighted to girth rather than length. Daily use can be helpful, but any gains are lost if you stop using it. Basically, your dick is the size that it is. You can make it look slightly bigger if you put it in a sealed vacuum for a while, but it will inevitably return to its original size in a few hours.

As far as specific gains, my normal erect penis is about 5.5 long and after about 20 or so minutes of pumping it will gain a quarter to half inch. Enhanced girth is much more noticeable, but I could not say the exact amount. Probably around the same, about a half inch. And this is pumping at the time of arousal.

The TLDR summary is yes, a pump works, but pretty much only immediately. There is not any long lasting enhancement.

And to answer some of your other questions, mine is an air pump. I use it mostly for about 20 or so minutes at the beginning of a jack session for best results. Ive experimented with daily and even twice daily use to try to maintain gains, but it did not work for me. I havent had any problems but I am pretty careful, and didnt develop any reliance on it. I can still get just as hard without it as before I ever used one.
