The 15 Best Penis Pumps for Stronger Erections, Approved by a Sex Writer

Pumping can be a little tiresome, so we suggest investing in an automatic vacuum that does all the hard work for you.

Slide your flaccid or semi-erect schlong (slathered in water-based lube) into place before picking one of three rather intense settings. Despite its commendable speed and suction power though, it’s virtually silent, meaning you can use it without disturbing your next-door neighbours — or while bingeing yet another episode of Fallout.

Designed by sexpert Tracey Cox, she claims it could increase your size by up to 30%. But if you're wondering what satisfied shoppers thought, one labelled it the ‘best pump I have tried for ED’, while another raved: 'It made my erection bigger in seconds.'

And don’t worry about hunting around for batteries before your next pleasure party, as this one’s also USB rechargeable.

This is another one designed by best-selling author and sexpert Tracey Cox, and while most sex toy retailers have tried to put a unique spin on the classic penis pump, this one's our favourite for beginners.

That’s because it comes with no fuss and no frills, just an intuitive handball pump, a stretchy silicone opening for your added comfort and a step-by-step guide written by the pro herself.

With a 1.25-inch opening, this should work for dongs of average girth — a reminder this is between 3.5 and 3.9 inches in the UK — and length, with one fan saying his seven-inch member fit with 'room to move.'

We should mention that the plastic tube is darker and more opaque than shown, making it a little tricky to track your progress. So we suggest taking it slow and watching out for chafing, pinching and bruising around the base of your penis.

In 2024, no man should be subjected to uneven arm gains, the result of his desire to pump it up. Hence why Cal Exotics has been working on improving its automated offerings.

The Advanced Smart Penis Pump is aptly named, fitted with both a Manual and Smart mode. Manual involves you taking control, managing the motor via the four-button interface, while Smart mode remembers your favourite setting and how long you like to keep it at that, so all you have to focus on is your newfound confidence. And, of course, there are the usual additions of a quick-release valve and measuring gauge.

Once again, it’s USB rechargeable and comes fitted with a travel lock, so we insist you take it worldwide. Just remember to pack the second silicone attachment so you’ve got options while you’re away.

If you're interested in pumping, stroking and squeezing, this seven-piece kit is all about maximising your size and your pleasure.

Not only do you get a vacuum, fitted with a detachable hose, quick-release valve and a handball pump, but also three cock rings to extend its effects. We're also big fans of the grey-tinted chamber which feels a little more premium than its clear classmates.

But Lovehoney's also thrown in a stroker and anal beads, both of which move and jive once paired with the baby bullet vibrator. You will need to keep a steady supply of LR44 batteries nearby as that accessory isn't USB rechargeable, but we’d still say this is pretty decent value for money.

The only other thing you need to know is that one satisfied shopper labelled this set his ‘new best friend.’ Our sympathies to his labradoodle.

While penis pumps are more of a sexual aid than a toy for your pleasure, that doesn’t mean they can’t also be used to get you off — particularly when Bondara has nailed oral-style stimulation, courtesy of the automated stroking action available at the touch of a button.

But what really had our testers sold was the Smart Cycle feature which records your favourite pressure. Think of it like speed dial for your sexual satisfaction.

And while a clear chamber is always useful, offering you a front-row seat to your own private sex show, this one works to magnify its contents to offer ‘unrivalled’ (a claim by the designers we totally agree with) visual stimulation.

Our only notes? This one doesn’t look particularly premium, nor does it come with interchangeable openings for those who like options.

Have you been dreaming of a mighty appendage to rival Aquaman's? This bestselling penis pump harnesses the power of hydraulics to boost the length and girth of your flipper. A smart choice in our eyes, considering water is consistent under pressure, and so you won't get pockets of air ruining your play.

Simply hold down the black ‘pip’ at the end and fill the cylinder with warm water before slipping your cock inside. Then watch on as the vacuum transforms your snail into a whale, tracking your progress via the measuring gauge on the side.

What's more, the brand maintains that regular use (that's considered to be three five-minute sessions a day up to five times a week) can permanently engorge your erections and improve your stamina.

But hear high praise from a fan instead, with one writing: 'The Hydro seems to be much more effective than the typical air pump. Greater suction, improved blood flow and easy to release the pressure!'

This pump may look like it’s more equipped to deal with a bike tyre than the human phallus, but that’s because it has bold ambitions in the penis-enlargement department. Yep, Bondara’s designers claim you can expect ‘big results’ within three to six months if you commit to daily two-minute sessions.

While fairly similar to the models above in that it comes with a transparent cylinder and a soft, silicone cover for a comfortable entry/exit, it also has the easiest pump of all. While handballs can cave in under pressure and require a bit of patience while they reinflate, this two-pronged controller keeps up with your demands (tried and tested).

And that pressure gauge? What we once thought might be a novel addition is actually a useful aid. For example, let your partner take the reins, just letting them know your optimum range beforehand.

Just because you’re heading on vacay doesn’t mean you have to ditch regular rounds of pumping. Plus, with your out-of-office set, you'll have more time in your schedule for partnered play and so might need the assistance.

This Lovehoney pump could just about pass for a speaker — if airport security doesn’t pay too much attention to the measuring gauge lining one side and the constriction rings you’ve packed alongside it.

The self-contained design, and by that we mean no removable pump or hose, means you can go one-handed while the quick-release valve aids a swift exit — although we suggest sticking to sessions of no longer than 10 minutes anyway.

If you’re wondering how to use it, coat the inside of the tube and your timber with lube (Roam's Solo Cream is epic for edging, its thick consistency giving you total control) before sliding inside and slowly upping the motion.

If you’ve been blessed with a super-long schlong but struggle when it comes to your staying power or stamina, sexual wellness brand Boners has your back. The Trigger Pump offers up to 12.6 insertable inches meaning you’ve got room to grow.

Another pump that’s ditched the classic handball, the designers instead opted for a finger grip pump that won’t slip from your grasp. Also fitted with a quick-release button, measuring gauge and a detachable hose for easy cleaning, we have very few complaints.

And if you’re a first-time Ricky shopper, you can bag an extra £5 off when you make an account. Yeah, we’re pumping for joy too.

If you measure up closer to the UK median (2.8 to 3.9 inches when flaccid, 4.7 to 6.3 inches when erect), there’s also a regular size option available for under £40.

One of the longest-serving purveyors of pleasure devices, we know we can trust Ann Summers — even if the brand largely caters to those with vulvas and vaginas. However, its male-centric offerings should not be overlooked. Case in point: the brand’s budget penis pump.

Despite coming in at a third of the price of some of the others in our lineup, this pump ticks all the necessary boxes. Powered by a squeezable bulb pump and super lightweight, it’s easy to use with one or two hands.

Our sex writer does recommend you’re generous with the lube though, as that silicone opening is not quite as cushioned as some others. If after a budget option, consider Lovehoney’s Delight Silky Water-Based lubricant. If you're willing to splurge, we like Roam’s Adaptogenic cream, infused with aloe vera and CBD.

Now the reviews on the Ann Summrs' site are mixed (to be expected considering our unique tastes), however, this short-and-sweet review matched many of our testers: ‘Very happy with this. Easy to use and provides amazing sensation.’

For the blokes who want more bang for their buck, this multi-tasking pump will help you boost your size and blow your load simultaneously.

So, let’s work our way up. First, a lifelike vaginal opening for those who don’t fancy pulling up porn, followed by a 10-inch acrylic chamber. And for those who need a little extra stimulation, consider sliding in that textured insert beforehand.

The plunger-style handle works the vacuum, while the wired love egg, offering rumbly-style vibrations, is controlled by a quick twist of the dial on the front. But Bondara's also included a stretchy silicone cock ring that can be used simultaneously to limit blood flow back down the penis.

To confirm, you will need to invest in a stash of AA batteries, and plenty of water-based lube. But considering this is essentially four sex toys (a penis pump, masturbator, love egg and cock ring) for the price of one, we doubt you’ll mind.

It’s all about options with the Thrust Pro Pump. As well as two interchangeable entrances — including a realistic-looking vaginal opening that's ideal if you’re locked into a long-distance love thing — this automatic option also comes programmed with three suction levels. So, work your way up — or go rogue every time.

We should mention that this one's a little tight in terms of its diameter (1.25 inches), so we do recommend measuring up before hitting the checkout.

Having racked up more than 30 five-star reviews from Lovehoney regulars, our testers had high expectations — and weren’t left disappointed, especially by the battery life, with one fan claiming it lasted them a solid four sessions.

Another satisfied shopper wrote: ‘I loved this pump from the off. [The entrance] looks realistic enough through half-closed eyes and it felt superb on entry. The pump's variable suction strength was also great fun.’

Another fairly basic penis pump that has been built with both beginners and the budget-conscious in mind — except this one’s also been lined with nubs for added stimulation.

Our testers raved about the extendable hose, making it a tad more compact than some other models and the tinted acrylic chamber that won’t discolour over time. This one is just transparent enough that you can keep an eye on your disco stick in case of discolouring, bulging or bruising.

With an internal length of 7.5 inches, this is best suited to those measuring in at under six and is best paired with a gel-like water-based lube. Liquid Silk’s milky motion lotion is thick, slick and slow to go tacky, plus will keep you free of the doghouse as it won't stain your sheets.

While most penis pumps focus on boosting your length, this model works to widen your member. Again, we’d argue motion is more important than mass, but we understand we’ve all got different tastes and desires.

Another water-based pump that won’t suffer from inconsistent air pressure, the HYDROMAX7 needs to be half-filled with warm water before you increase the pressure. And that red-tinted chamber means you can proudly leave it on display — but if anyone asks, it’s a vintage lava map from the ‘60s.

Another rated rather highly online, one fan commented: ‘The Hydromax Wide Boy is durable, easy to use, plus pumping is nice and easy in the shower. It works just the way I want, and I can make my penis thicker whenever I want some variation with my girlfriend.’

The name itself should provide a reasonable boost of confidence, but the COLT manual pump also works to bring on a reasonable physical swell. That’s due to the flared t-shape base ensuring a tight seal, even for those who decide to let their locks grow.

Fitted with a trigger-style pump, this one’s catered to those who like it fast and furious — just make sure to still keep an eye out for bruising, bulging or bending. Although that’s made easy by the clear acrylic chamber.

As per, it also comes with a quick-release valve, measurement markings (you’ve got options, as this counts in both centimetres and inches), plus a cock ring to limit blood flow back down the penis.

For those wondering about cleaning (yes, you should be doing this after every use), it’s fairly simple thanks to the removable hose. Just rinse with warm, soapy water or spray with toy cleaner (this spray from Lovehoney has a light citrus scent and dries in seconds).
