Now this comparison is often misguided as similar or at least closer in structure and function. However most people will come to realise that extenders and vacuum pumps are, in fact, entirely different in structure, purpose, benefits and even safety profiles. To help you learn the differences between the two devices, please refer to our quick penis device comparison table below:

Feature
|
Penis vacuum pump |
||
|
Definition |
It is a mechanical device that facilitates / improves penis enlargement both in terms of thickness (girth) and length | It is a special device that is meant to “temporarily” cause erection (enhancement) of the penis by creating a suction or vacuum effect | |
|
Use |
They are primarily used for the enlargement of penis but can also help improve erectile dysfunction | They are primarily used for the temporary treatment of “erectile dysfunction” (male impotence) | |
|
Working principle |
A penis extender works on the principle of “traction”. i.e. by applying a constant traction force along the shaft of your penis; the consistent and smooth stretching basically triggers the reaction capacity of the penile tissues which causes cellular multiplication, or enlargement of your penis, both in length and thickness | A penis vacuum pumps works on the principle of creating a vacuum by powerful suction. The penis becomes filled up with blood and, and is soon hard enough for intercourse | |
|
Time required for the effect |
For permanent results, you need to wear a penis extender on daily basis at least for months. However, when the results finally show up, they are permanent | It probably takes about two to three minutes to get an erection. However, as it is just a temporary “engorgement”, there is no concept of permanent penis enlargement even after long time use | |
|
Mode of action |
When human tissues are subject to a force of traction, they react automatically and naturally by increasing in size. The traction-based extender provides a slow constant and measured force whose effect is directly related to the amount of time you wear it for which eventually leads to increase in both thickness and length of the penis | Penis pump creates a vacuum around the penis; blood is drawn into the penis, helping it to become engorged. The higher the vacuum, the higher the blood-pressure becomes within the penis | |
|
Extent of enlargement |
Studies have reported an average increase of 33% (from 1 to 3 inches) in length and 35% in girth (1.5 inches) in thickness with the regular use of penis extenders | Studies have reported temporary increase of up to ½ inch in length and girth. | |
|
Safety profile |
If used properly, they are virtually free of all side effects | They have a low safety profile. Even if used properly, longer used can result in injuries. | |
|
Major side effects |
To date, no major side effects have been reported with the long-term use of specific “strap type” extenders (e.g. those offered by SizeGenetics.com) | There are some major safety risks associated with the use with penis pumps. There is a risk that you could burst capillaries, get blisters or, even worse, develop improper circulation leading to possible impotence and a whole host of other problems. In some cases, the testicles can be unexpectedly pulled into the cylinder and cause severe pain and injury. It is also believed that the rim of the cylinder can cut into the skin and over time cause damage to the ligaments surrounding the penis | |
|
Duration of result |
Results occur gradually, over the time but are long-lasting and often permanent | Results occur immediately but are of short term and subside within few hours | |
|
Price / cost |
While penis traction devices may seem relatively expensive to some at first, over the long run, they are far more cheap, economical and cost-effective than other common methods of penis enlargement | A penis vacuum pump can cost about 100 to 150 USD on an average |
In short, on the basis of the above basic comparison, it is quite evident that while using a penis pump may be a good temporary and fast option for you (if you are suffering from erectile dysfunction), it will not “enlarge” your penis on permanent basis. For long-lasting penis enlargement, only traction-based devices like penis extenders represent a safe and efficient top-notch option. Penis extenders not only cause significant increase in both thickness and length of the penis but also help you correct various structural and functional problems of the penis such as Peyronie’s disease, abnormal curvatures and erectile dysfunction (impotence).
