Vibrators come in all shapes, sizes and colours, with many different vibration speeds, pulses, rotations and trusting options. Some can go inside a vagina or anus, and others are meant to be used outside the body for teasing and foreplay.

Dildos come in many shapes, sizes and colours, but they are often shaped similarly to a penis, some looking and feeling almost the same as an erect penis. Some look like very realistic penises even feeling like an actual cock and balls but others are more abstract in shape and size, with weird textures and colours.

Remember Austin Powers "I'm telling ya baby, that's not mine"... No shame anymore as many men own a penis pump for various reasons. Penis pumps, vacuum pumps, hydro pumps or vacuum erection pumps.

Pumps work by driving blood flow to the area, which helps increase sensitivity and sensation. Some people also like the feeling of the suction. Penis pumps can help you get an erection, but they won’t make your penis permanently bigger. Penis pumps do make your penis bigger and fatter immediately after pumping. Some pumps are also designed to help treat erectile dysfunction, genital arousal disorder, and orgasm disorder.


Most of the pumps you buy in sex stores or adult shops are not medical devices, they are just meant to enhance pleasure during sex and masturbation but essentially the function if the same as the medical devices. Don’t pump and leave your penis in the pump for a long period of time, also do not over pump. Stop pumping and remove right away if you feel any pain or discomfort.
