Air Penis Pumps vs. Water Penis Pumps

Air and water are the two types of mediums men can use for penis pumping.

Air penis pumps utilize air as the pumping medium surrounding the penis during a pumping session.

Water penis pumps utilize water as the pumping medium surrounding the penis during a pumping session.

Both air penis pumps and water penis pumps have many benefits, as well as some negatives.

Men who are serious about their penis pumping programs and penis enlargement will have both an air penis pump and water penis pump to fit their needs.

Here are some points of comparison to help you make a purchasing decision:

Mechanism of Operation

  • Air penis pumps utilize air as the pumping medium surrounding the penis during a pumping session, and air pressure is used to create the vacuum.
  • Water penis pumps utilize water as the pumping medium surrounding the penis during a pumping session, and water pressure is used to create the vacuum.

Product Cost

  • Air penis pumps are generally more affordable and less expensive.
  • Water penis pumps are generally more expensive.

User Comfort

  • Air penis pumps create a bare or hollow pressure feeling on the penis since technically you can't really feel any type of substance surrounding and contacting your penis. While this is not uncomfortable per se, it may be less comfortable compared to the pressure feeling that water gives.
  • Water penis pumps on the other hand create a cushioning or squishable pressure feeling on the penis due to having water surround and contacting your penis. Men normally think this is more comfortable compared to the pressure feeling that air gives.

Ease of Use

  • Air penis pumps are easy to set up and use, as they don't comprise too many parts or materials.
  • Water penis pumps require more setup and parts due to utilizing water in the pump.

Efficiency/Effectiveness

  • Air penis pumps create a vacuum from air pressure which has an irregular or even distribution of pressure.
  • Water penis pumps create a vacuum from water pressure which has a more even distribution of pressure due to water's properties of incompressibility, hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, and viscosity.

Portability/Environment

  • Air penis pumps can be used everywhere.
  • Water penis pumps are typically only used in water-conducive environments like bathtubs or showers where you can easily access a water source and drain.

Cleaning/Hygiene

  • Air penis pumps are easier to clean since they comprise less parts and utilize less external substances. Wiping down the parts with a paper towel and all purpose cleaner is sufficient for optimal hygiene.
  • Water penis pumps require more cleaning and drying to prevent mold, mildew and bacteria from building up due to excess moisture.
