Differentiating Between Penis Extenders and Vacuum Pumps
A simplified, at-a-glance comparison
Features | Penis Extender | Penis Vacuum Pump |
Definition | A mechanical device that improves penis enlargement, both in terms of length and girth (thickness). | A special device designed to temporarily enhance penile erection using a suction or vacuum effect . |
Use | Primary use is for penis enlargement. Can also be used to combat erectile dysfunction. | Primarily used for temporary treatment of erectile dysfunction, also known as male impotence. |
Working Principle | Works by applying a constant traction force to the penis shaft. Smooth stretching causes penis cells to multiply and grow to larger, thicker size. | Works on the principle of vacuum suction. The penis becomes engorged with blood, and thus becomes erect enough for sexual intercourse. |
Time Required | Permanent results require daily wear over the course of months. Once desired results are achieved, use can typically be stopped. | Between 2-3 minutes to achieve erection, but since results are temporary, it must be used every time. |
Enlargement Potential | Studies report an average 33% length increase (1-3 inches) and 35% girth increase (1.5 inches) with regular use. | Studies report a temporary increase of up to ½ inch growth in both length and growth. |
Safety Concerns | None, when used as directed. | Considered somewhat unsafe. Even when used properly, injury may occur. |
Side Effects | None reported to date with strap-style extenders (such as those offered at SizeGenetics.com) | Major potential side effects include blisters, burst capillaries and improper circulation, which can cause serious complications. Device may cut into the skin, causing pain and injury, or testicles may be unexpectedly pulled into cylinder. |
Duration of Results | Results occur gradually, but are long-lasting or permanent once achieved. | Results occur quickly, but are only temporary and subside within hours. |
Cost | Can seem relatively expensive, but are more economical and cost-effective in the long run since they offer permanent results. | Typical cost is between $100 and $150 USD. |
After reviewing the above comparison, it's easy to see that a penis pump is good for a quick and temporary solution (if you suffer from erectile dysfunction). Unfortunately, it won't enlarge your penis permanently. For safe and long-lasting penis enlargement, penis extender devices are the ideal choice. These devices not only add significant increases in length and girth, but can also help you correct penile abnormalities such as erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's Disease.
