How to Use Pumps

Explore our guide for how to use pumps to learn how to safely use clit, nipple, and penis pumps for firmer, enlarged, and more sensitive erogenous areas throughout the body!

Are you curious about using pumps? Pumps are sex toys that use suction to draw bloodflow to the specific part of the body they’re being used on to create larger and firmer erections and add sensitivity to the area. Penis pumps have been used throughout time for erections that are firmer and have more girth. Nipple pumps create suction around the nipples for more sensitivity and pleasure in the breasts. Vulva pumps aka pussy pumps create strong suction on the entire vulva making the area more receptive to touch and enlarged. Clit pumps focus specifically on the head and shaft of the clit, making it more erect and sensitive. They can even be used to enhance bottom growth for gender affirmation and gender play.

In this guide, we will cover some tips and tricks to help you choose the right pump and use it safely no matter how you play!

What are Pump Toys Used For

Penis pumps are used to increase blood flow to the shaft, making it temporarily larger and firmer. In combination with a cock ring, they help maintain the effect for the duration of the erection. Nipple and pussy pumps engorge the areas to heighten sensitivity. Clit pumps enhance sensitivity and firmness in the area. Pumps designed for FTM bottom growth make erections larger. The consistent pressure and suction created by pumps can also feel really good.

How to Use a Sex Pump

Follow these tips to use a sex pump safely:

  • Make sure you find the right fit. Try to find a pump that isn’t too tight around the area, or too big to create a seal.
  • Overpumping can lead to blood vessels bursting, bruising, and pain. Start slow and slowly build suction. Stop if you feel discomfort.
  • When using a penis pump, put a stretchy cock ring around the tube to pull around the balls and shaft once you get the desired effect to stay hard longer.
  • Choose a pump that has a soft silicone cover around the edge so it doesn’t dig into the skin.

How to Make Suction Toys Stick

Things to consider to get your pump to create a tight seal and stick:

  • Put water-based lube on the desired body part before you put the pump against the body.
  • Trimming body hair in the area to create a tighter seal for your sex pump.
  • If your pump has a sleeve, make sure it’s on securely.
  • Hold the cylinder close against the body and remember that the seal will become tighter as you pump.

Tips for Using a Penis Pump

Though a penis pump will not make your penis permanently larger, it can enlarge the penis and create a more firm erection for the duration of that erection. Follow these tips for fun and safe pumping:

  • Lubricate the shaft of the penis lightly with a water-based lubricant.
  • Use a pump with a pressure release valve in case you overpump to ensure you can take the cylinder off quickly if needed.
  • Enhance the experience by using a cock ring.
  • Use the pump immediately before penetration for an optimal erection.
  • Some penis pumps use water to create a seal and more even suction, use these in the shower to prevent a big spill.

Tips for Using a Vulva or Clit Pump

The vulva can become really engorged and sensitive with a vulva or pussy pump. Clit pumps can make your clitoral erection firmer and more sensitive. The suction sensation on its own can also feel great! To get the best vulva and clit pumping experience:

  • Try a pussy pump that comes with multiple cups in different sizes to ensure a good seal.
  • Use some water-based lube to ensure comfort and greater suction.
  • Some pussy pumps also feature vibration or flicking tongues for an all over sensation that simulates oral sex.

Tips for Using Nipple Pumps

Nipples can be incredibly erogenous zones.

  • Nipple pumps can have manual triggers or twist tops that create suction. Try different sensations!
  • Nipple suckers made of soft materials like silicone function similarly to nipple clamps with the added benefit of creating consistent suction.
  • Press the nipple cylinder against the nipple and areola area to create a tight seal.
  • Remove the pump and the nipples will be extra sensitive. Experiment with different sensations like licking, pinching, and nibbling.

Tips for Using an FTM Pump

Some pumps designed specifically for transmasculine people. Using a pump can help enlarge the phallus during the erection. Some tips for using an FTM pump include:

  • Try a pump with multiple cylinders, especially if you’re on HRT and expecting your external anatomy to grow.
  • Depending on size, nipple and clit pumps can also be used if you can’t find the right FTM pump.
  • Try suctioning the cylinder to the body and removing the hose and hand pump, then putting a cotton ball and condom on the cylinder. You can penetrate someone with the cylinder while it’s attached to your body.
"Start slow and slowly build suction. Stop if you feel discomfort."
