What is the Best Penis Pump in 2025?

A common addition to the bedroom, a penis pump allows for erections on-demand, opening up new opportunities for connection and play. With so many options out there, how are you supposed to know what the best penis pump is in 2025?

What's the best penis pump? Well, it depends on your goals. If you're here for daily pumping, you want something that stands up for your regular schedule. If you're trying something for the first time to see if you'll like it, budget might be more of a concern than if you're trying to find that forever-pump to last you for the next few years.

With that in mind, let's go over a few of our favorites:

Best Overall: Bathmate HydroMax Penis Pump

The HydroMax is Kinkly's best-selling penis pump for a reason: it delivers. Utilizing the power of water to assist in getting a good seal and a good pump, the HydroMax helps you achieve a pleasurable erection on demand.

Best of all, the HydroMax doesn't have any cords or tubing to deal with. Because it's powered by water displacement, the "pumping" action is built right into the penis chamber itself. This makes for a very familiar motion to use the pump, further adding to its popularity.

Its one downside? It does require water to pump.

This penis pump is available in a wide variety of sizes to fit a wide range of shaft lengths.

Best for Automation: VeDO Pump Rechargeable

Does squeezing an inflation bulb hurt your wrists? Would you rather just lay back and enjoy the show? Either way, the VeDO Pump Rechargeable offers that opportunity. Instead of the manual mechanism of most penis pumps, the VeDO Pump features a built-in suction motor, pulling air from the chamber as soon as the motor is turned on. All-the-while, you can watch all of the action with the pump's transparent tubing, complete with measurement indicators.

Built for more than just simple suction, the VeDo Pump Rechargeable also includes 10 vibration modes if you'd like to add a bit of orgasmic sensation while you're achieving fullness.

However, since the suction is automated, you won't be able to get as precise of suction with this VeDO Pump. While the pump allows you to increase suction in 5-second intervals, your "sweet spot" may be in the middle of one of those intervals, so keep that in mind!

Best for Regular Use: Blush Performance VX6

The rubber-style squeeze-balloon bulbs will work for pumping, but they're more prone to cracks over time - and they can be hard to get a good, firm squeeze. If you know you're going to be using your pump often, the Blush Performance VX6 may be the best penis pump for you. With higher-quality hardware and a mechanic-style piston squeeze handle, it offers more intuitive use that's less-likely to break down with repeated sessions.

As an added bonus, it features a built-in vacuum pressure gauge, giving you important data about your pumping session. Did you achieve more than last time? What's your "sweet spot" for the best pump? Once you know these answers, you can start your sessions with confidence, knowing exactly what pressure you're aiming to achieve.

Best for Large Shafts: Optimum Big Man's Pump

To reduce how much extra width and length is swinging around, most pumps cater to the average shaft size around 6" in length. For the majority of people looking for the best penis pump, this simply makes it easier to use and enjoy!

If you're someone who has an extra-long or extra-wide shaft, though, those standard penis pumps may be a poor fit for you. Without the length and width you need in the cylinder, it can be hard to get a good suction seal. That's where the Big Man's Pump comes in. With a 12" long, 2.5" diameter cylinder, this penis pump provides a lot more space for those who need more real estate.

The pump also includes 3 interchangeable gasket seals to ensure your width is well-accounted for. Choose from gasket seal diameters of 1", 1.25", and 1.5" to get a snug - but not too tight - seal for better pumping.

Best for Precise Pumping: Max-Precision Power Pump

Are you a penis pump expert who knows exactly how much pressure you'd like on your shaft? If so, the lack of pressure gauges on most penis pumps might be a bit of a let-down. Solve that problem with the Max-Precision Power Pump. With a built-in vacuum pressure gauge on a plastic squeeze handle, this penis pump set-up provides more control over the intensity of your pumping session.

Best Penis Pump on a Budget: Blush Performance VX101

New to penis pumping and want to give it a try? Shelling out a hundred dollars can be a little pricy! Instead, give the Blush Performance VX101 a try. A basic construction at a budget-friendly price, the Performance VX101 gives you a simple experience with lightweight materials.

This budget-friendly price (that doesn't sacrifice on pumping potential) is possible through the swap in materials. Instead of a complex squeeze mechanism, this pump uses a simple rubber squeeze ball with quick-release button. Instead of expensive vinyl tubing, the pump's tube is made from a bendable plastic coil. Cutting down on material costs provides a penis pump that's ready to play without breaking your budget.

Best of all, the pump even includes a super-stretchy cock ring to maintain your firmness when you're done pumping!

How to Get Best Results from Penis Pump

Do you know how penis pumps work? If not, let us give you a little lesson. If you've ever watched someone doing a cupping therapy session, it's a similar premise!

A tube is placed on top of your shaft. Using the penis pump's air removal mechanism, you remove air from the penis pump. As air is removed from the tube your penis is in, it forces blood into the penis. Blood rushing into the penis just happens to be the mechanism behind getting an erection, and it does the same here: the pump will give you an erection as air is removed from the pump's tube.

This means that getting a good, tight, leak-free seal around the base of the shaft is the best thing you can do to get the best results from penis pump. Any air that's allowed to leak will reduce how effective your penis pump is.

We have a few tips to make air leaks as unlikely as possible:

  • Make sure your penis pump tube fits your shaft. If your penis pump tube is too small in diameter, you might find it difficult to get the tube to fit around your shaft. It's better to err on the side of too big than too small!
  • Have dry hands. You can use a penis pump while lubed up, but if your hands are really slippery, it can make it hard to hold the pump in place.
  • Check your penis pump's seal for cracks or holes. Whether you're looking for defects in a brand new pump or checking out ol' faithful, any cracks or holes in the tube's base seal will make it harder to get a good pump. If that pump is brand new, make sure to reach out to the retailer to let them know it arrived defective!
  • Push firmly into your flesh. Especially when you're getting that initial seal, a firm push can be helpful. This reduces the likelihood that you're accidentally holding the tube at a slight angle. Once the penis pump has a good seal going, you won't have to hold it with as much force.
  • Use a bit of lube along the external edge of the seal. A little bit goes a long way here. If there are microscopic holes between your body and the base of the seal, this can help temporarily "seal them up" for a better pump.
