How penis pumps differ from traction devices

 

Penis pumps are different from traction devices, also known as penis extenders. Many men get confused between the two devices as they can both help to achieve penis enlargement. Read on to find out more about these devices so that you can choose the most appropriate one for yourself.

What are penis pumps?

Penis pumps or vacuum pumps are essentially vacuum constriction devices that come with a cylinder and a hand or battery operated pump. The cylinder is placed over the penis and the pump is used to create suction. The vacuum created forces more blood to flow into the penis. As a result, it’s possible to achieve firmer erections. The erection can be sustained by slipping a constriction ring down to the base of the penis. The device is therefore found to be highly effective for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a condition in which men face consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to complete satisfying sexual intercourse. Apart from being an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, vacuum pumps have also been found to be effective for penis enlargement. With regular use of vacuum pumps, the tissues in your penis expand, helping you to achieve an increase in penis size.

What are traction devices?

Traction devices or penis extenders are specifically designed to help you achieve penis enlargement. Unlike vacuum pumps, traction devices do not treat erectile dysfunction. These devices use the principle of traction to increase the length as well as the girth of your penis. They use traction to assist the natural ability of your body to change and develop under physical influence. It has been observed that if a certain part of your body is exposed to a constant, permanent stretch, the cells in the area begin to divide and multiply. Working on this principle, traction devices apply gradual pressure to your penis. This stimulates the growth of the ligaments, corpus cavernosum and the rest of the penile tissues, which results in penis growth.

Differences between penis pumps and traction devices

Both penis pumps and traction devices can help you to achieve an increase in the length and girth of the penis in flaccid as well as erect state. However, there are certain differences between the ways you can use these products:

• Traction devices are to be worn for long hours whereas vacuum pumps are designed to be used only 20 minutes a day.
• Some experts believe that traction devices are better ato increasing the length of the penis than the girth, whereas penis enlargement pumps work effectively to increase the length as well as the girth.
• Penis pumps help to treat erectile dysfunction while traction devices do not.
