Buy your first penis pump by following our four easy steps below! 

Answer the first three questions by selecting your preference for comfort, cost, and practicality. Then measure your penis for the final results!

1. Mechanism: Electric vs. Manual

Electric pumps are easier to operate, faster, and have autonomous hands-free pumping. Manual pumps are quieter, more affordable, and provide greater control and tactile feedback.
