The Pussy/Clit Pump: How and Why Everyone With a Vagina Should Experiment With a Pump

What is a vagina pump? A vagina or pussy pump is a suction device meant to cover all or most of the labial area (lips and clit entirely) and a clit pump is a smaller suction device that covers only the area around the clitoris. Both operate on the same principle: create suction, pump the little "mask" to increase the suction, the blood engorges the clit or vaginal area, creating a more sensitive area.

Once you release the pressure, the vaginal lips and clitoris will stay engorged for a short time, and then slowly return to natural size. This is not a long-term effect. Some pumps also come with clitoral stimulators and vibrations to provide pleasure post pump! While I was skeptical about how well (or if) this would actually work, I am pleased to report they work and they are FUN! 

Why Should I Use a Clit Pump?:

You are probably thinking exactly what I thought: What is the purpose? Well, there are many purposes, actually. Below I'm going to dive into four of the most common reasons to use a clit or vagina pump. Read on to learn more!

  • Experience New Sensations: First and foremost, clit pumps provide a new way to explore sensations and pleasure. Whether you are single or coupled; new at playing or experienced - the clitoral/vaginal pump is a sensation on its own! I have never felt anything quite like it.
  • Improve Sexual Function: By increasing the blood flow to the clitoral and vaginal area, a clit pump is like natural arousal on steroids! In normal sexual arousal, blood flows to the genitals making them sensitive to touch and stimulation. When a clitoral pump is used, it increases this blood flow rapidly, causing the clitoris to swell (and come out from under the hood) and become sensitive. So, in "female" sexual dysfunction, a clitoral pump is a very cost-effective way of increasing sexual satisfaction. 
  • Increase Clit Stimulation: The main idea is to increase pleasure through stimulation and blood engorgement of the clitoral area. Once you have gotten the suction and the pressure right, you turn on the vibrations and allow the little stimulators to bring you to blissful orgasm! How fun is that! Whichever you choose to try (and I say, try both) you will be surprised at the unique sensations! If you are someone who finds orgasm difficult to obtain, or you have a hidden clit, give a pump a chance, it just may surprise you!

How to Use a Clit / Pussy Pump:

Vagina pumps can be used for multiple things to enhance intercourse or solo play. We recommend using a lubricant to start off to create the smoothest possible experience. A water based lubricant is your best bet, especially if the pump is made of silicone.

First, spread a thin area of lubricant around the area that you're going to apply pressure and suction. Press the opening of the pump against the clit or vaginal opening. Make sure to choose a toy/pump that fits the power that you desire, as some are not aware of how intense this kind of suction can be, so it's best to start slow.

Using the pump to engorge your clitoris will make the area much more sensitive to touch and stimulation, so it may be worth having a toy (or your partner) on stand by so you're ready to go! Hold the pump against the area until you feel increased sensitivity, or even until it starts to feel good. Then, use your toy or your fingers to take advantage of the sensitivity to bring you to climax more quickly. Keep in mind that pumps range in size and some have a smaller opening to pinpoint the clitoris, and others are larger to reach the entire area of your labia & vagina.

    Clit Pumping? OH YES! Totally awesome feeling and experience. The first pump we got just didn’t provide the necessary seal to really ‘bring out’ my little bud so it was kind of a teaser. However, the second pump we bought was so awesome! It really made her pop! I had never been so sensitized, my clit stayed engorged for a couple hours after the most awesome sex ever. The feel of my panties touching my clitoris almost drove me insane for more! I had even masturbated while driving home from my guy’s afterwards! It was fantastic! If you haven’t, you should! Another great thing for me is before the pump, my clitoris would be almost desensitized, tender and even sore after sex. But with the clitoris pump it stayed sensitive and ready, explaining my drive home!

    I’ve tried multiple kinds. Not much luck. I have the “beginners” pump you recommended- the bulb won’t keep pumping like you want it to- the bulb collapses & won’t keep pumping. I have the pinkish red vibrating one- same thing- it doesn’t pump enough for me. I’ve tried the clear corkscrew suction cups. I have not found anything that will actually make my clit swell & “stand out” enough. I don’t want to spend a fortune on something that may not work either. My guy wants something that’s going to make it look bigger & actually stick out more. Haven’t found anything yet that works or that is easy enough to do by yourself & just get your clit fat if I want to send him pics to torment him. I saw a girl using one that looked like a penis pump with the pistol squeeze grip but more fitted for a clit & it really made hers stand up & would pump as much as she wanted- I would like to try something like that. I know some women use the men’s penis pumps but I’m not sure about it & don’t want anything fat but my clit. So far none of the sensitivity- or erector creams work well enough . I do use a couple of clit vibe stimulators which really help in the orgasm department but not in the plump/swollen clit look & sensitivity that he would like & I would like to experience.
    I’m open to suggestions. Again- I need something easy enough to use alone so I can torment him with pictures when he’s working . (He’s a Firefighter so they pull 24 hr shifts or longer.) He’s very visual & noise/sound motivated as many men are.

    Yes…. and it was amazing. My BF at the time bought it for me, I had never even heard of one before. Needless to say he put it on me, pumped it up and wow… when he fingered me I came so hard I showered him and the bed. Holy hell the sensations it caused, totally worth buying one. Happy all the way around with it.
