This product category encompasses devices designed to enhance male sexual performance through the application of a vacuum to create negative pressure. These devices typically consist of a cylinder, a pump mechanism (either manual or battery-operated), and a constriction ring. The cylinder is placed over the penis, and the pump is used to draw air out, creating a vacuum that draws blood into the penis. The constriction ring is then placed at the base of the penis to maintain the erection after the cylinder is removed.
The intended use of these devices is often twofold. Primarily, they aim to create a firmer, larger erection, potentially addressing concerns related to erectile dysfunction. Secondly, some users employ them with the hope of temporarily increasing penis size. It’s important to note that the scientific evidence supporting long-term size increases through the use of these devices is limited. Historically, vacuum devices have been utilized in clinical settings for the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction, preceding their availability as consumer products. Their efficacy in achieving and maintaining erections makes them a viable option for individuals seeking non-pharmacological interventions.
