If you’ve never heard of a pussy pump, you’re not alone.
While similar to its male counterpart (the penis pump), it's something that hasn’t been given as much time in the limelight - something we’re about to change.
Let’s take a look at pussy pumps, how they work, and what they do.

The Loveangels Guide To Pussy Pumps

What Does A Pussy Pump Do?

Let’s start at the beginning.
Pussy pumps (also called vagina pumps) look similar to oxygen masks, and are placed over the vagina to create a vacuum - unlike the penis pump, which pumps oxygen into the genitals.
There are both manual and automatic pumps.
Automatic ones usually have a remote with a button that starts the vacuum.
Manual pussy pumps have a bulb that creates a vacuum when squeezed.

Why Do People Like Pussy Pumps?

People like them for a variety of reasons.
The main goal of using them is to create a vacuum and increase blood flow to the vagina and clitoris.
Once that's done enough, you'll see different results.
The main result is increased sensitivity - that means that every touch, tickle, lick and stroke is much more noticeable.
Sex or masturbation become much more intense, and much more enjoyable.

The swollen look that pussy pumps give to the vulva are aesthetically pleasing to some people as well, and the look of the toy itself is also used in medically-based roleplay.

Will Pussy Pumps Make Me Orgasm?

In short, no.
Using a pussy pump may feel good by itself, but its main goal is to be an asset in the bedroom - not a standalone toy.
Many people who use pussy pumps say that using it right before penetrative sex is the best way to make the most of them.

How To Use A Pussy Pump

Before we break down how to use a pussy pump, it’s important to remember:
If you feel pain of any sort, stop pumping and remove the suction cup right away.

• Prepare

Some people like to shave the area in and around where the pump will sit. This ensures that no pubic hairs get pulled while the pump is in use.

• Lube Up

As with all kinds of pleasure - the wetter the better.
We recommend using a water-based lube around the cup to make sure it can be taken off without leaving a mark.

• Position The Pump

Place the cup around the vagina, and make sure you seal it properly.

• Start Pumping

If you’re using an automatic pump, switch it on to a low setting. If you’re using a manual pump, start pressing the bulb slowly - there’s plenty of time, and no need to rush.
Keep a slow and gentle pace, allowing the pressure to grow.
Once you’re happy, give it one or two more pumps, and leave it.

• Build Up To It 

As time goes on, you’ll become more comfortable with using the pump and leaving it on for five (or even ten) minutes - be careful to not hurt yourself!

• Take It Away

Press the release button to allow the pressure to recede, and then slowly remove the pussy pump.

• Give Your Body A Moment To Recover

Before touching yourself, or letting your partner touch you, give your body a minute to recover, and for blood to flow normally through the vagina again.

• Use More Lube

Your vulva will likely be a bit dry after all of the suction.
Be sure to use a water-based lube to lubricate the area again.

• Clean The Pump

As with all toys, it’s important to make sure you clean your pussy pump properly, and let it air dry before packing it away in its original packaging.

Conclusion

Pussy pumps - and clit pumps - aren’t for everybody.
But, by the end of this, hopefully, you’ll be able to decide whether or not it is for you. If not, there’s no harm in trying - as long as you have fun!
