When it comes to a fuller, more engaged feel in a safe and simple way, there are few better options than a Penis Pump. These products, originally developed as medical vacuum devices, are used around the world by men who are interested in more length and girth over time and a fuller look at rest. We here at Zen Hanger have developed a state-of-the-art Penis Pump built for consistent results. Our Zen Hanger penis pump and other products are designed with comfort and safety in mind. If you are asking what is a penis pump, this guide covers it.

Zen Hanger recommends our penis pump and aloe vera penis gel. We describe both in more detail below, along with why these products stand out in an industry that can take advantage of men seeking solutions. But first, let’s learn more about penis pumps in general.

What is a penis pump?

Let’s start with the basics: a penis pump is vacuum device that helps draw blood into the penis for a fuller, more engaged feel. It’s best to think of blood as the fuel that powers an erection. Erections happen because our bodies send blood to our penises, which then arranges the cartilage in the shaft to create an erection.

Penis pumps work by creating a vacuum seal around the base of the penis. Then, a pump is used to draw blood into the penis by displacing the air around the penis. This creates an effect that helps bring more blood into the penis than normal, helping temporarily increase its size while giving it the fuel it needs for a fuller, more engaged feel.

Why do some men prefer the pump?

There are a lot of reasons why people prefer penis pumps to other products. Chief among them is their simplicity and comfort. Penis pumps, when used correctly, are a fantastic entry point and give near-instant fullness. So, if you want something that is fun to use in the moment and isn’t complicated, then a penis pump may be the right choice.

Myths vs Facts

Penis pumps, despite their long track record of use, have been subject to a lot of misconceptions. Let’s go through a few of the major myths surrounding penis pumps, why they are wrong, and find the truth. Our guide on whether penis pumps work goes deeper.

Myth #1: Penis pumps make your penis larger permanently. Penis pumps are usually designed to temporarily increase the size of your penis; gradual gains with consistent use come from regular training, which is what the Zen Pump is built for. They are time-tested to temporarily increase the amount of blood flowing into your penis, which can lead to fuller erections and an increase in length and girth when used correctly. For steady progress over time we can recommend some other products too which includes Zen Hanger’s penis stretchers, weight hanging systems and penis extenders. These can be used to train your penis over time, especially when used with our supplements and aloe vera penis gel.

Myth #2: Penis pumps are useful only in a medical setting. Penis pumps were originally designed for medical use. But since then, their widespread use has led to many men using them for pleasure and routine training, not simply in a medical setting. While they can support a fuller, more engaged feel, especially when used in conjunction with a cock ring, penis pumps are also great for anyone who wants to experiment with changing the size of their penis. They are also a fun added element to many people’s bedroom experience. The important thing to remember with penis pumps is that they can be a lot of fun when used correctly, regardless of your goals.

Myth #3: Penis pumps can damage your penis if you use them for a long time. When used incorrectly, this is unfortunately true. Penises are not indestructible, which is why care and caution need to be taken when using penis pumps. If you are new to the world of penis pumps, not to worry. We cover the proper use of one further in this very article. Make sure you read up on the instructions, including the ones that come with your pump, to make sure you do everything correctly.

Myth #4: Penis pumps are very expensive. This could not be further from the truth. There are very expensive penis pumps out there (and bargain basement versions as well). The truth is, however, that a high-quality penis pump doesn’t have to be expensive. Both sizes of the Zen Hanger penis pump are only $129, which is an incredible bargain when you take into account the technology housed inside, and the benefits users report.

How to use a pump safely

Step 1: Clean Your Device

You should clean your device if it is storage from long time.

Step 2: Apply some lubrication

Recommend to use lubrication to avoid irretation from the tube. We recommend ZH Aloe Vera Gel for a more comfortable session, and it also helps with glide.

Step 3: Switch on the device

Follow all the instructions mentioned on the device to avoid any unwanted situation. For visual instructions you can watch our video.

Step 4: Start Pumping

By following the device instructions go slowly. You can pumping from 30 seconds - 3 minutes and make sure if it hurts at any point, release the pressure immediately.

Step 5: Switch off & remove the device

Once you got the required erection, release the pressure and remove the pump.

Step 6: Slide Rubber Ring

Slide the rubber ring to the base of your penis to maintain the erection as long as possible.

Some precautions need to be considered when using pumps. Chief among them: start slow. You can get a great amount of pressure but that can be hard on penises that aren’t used to it. If you notice any marks or bruising, then it’s a sign that you’re using too much pressure. For a full walkthrough, see our penis pump routine guide and how to use an automatic pump.

The penis pump solution

The Zen Hanger penis pump is one of the most technologically-advanced penis pumps on the market. We designed this product to be precise, effective and simple to use. When combined with our aloe vera penis gel, users report gradual gains in both length and girth with consistent use.

What makes the Zen Hanger solution different, is a scientific approach. We develop each product using an understanding of what is long-standing to help people enjoy their penises more and apply that to all of our research and development.

Take, for example, our aloe vera gel. We approached its development first from a common observation: that aloe vera gel is widely used to soothe skin and can aid in healing of minor irritation. Knowing that comfort is key to a consistent routine, we figured aloe vera gel could help the process if approached correctly. So, we set to researching and developing products, testing along the way, until we had something we are confident about.

Our classic Zen Hanger penis pump was developed using these same guiding principles, which is why we are confident it is built for the progress you are working toward.

Conclusion

If you are interested in using a penis pump, then you have come to the right place. Zen Hanger has one of the world’s easiest and most technologically-advanced pumps on the market. When combined with our other products, you could work toward progress that builds with regular use and have a lot of fun along the way.
