Português Pussy & Clitoral Pumps
A pussy pump puts a soft cup over the vulva or the clitoris and draws a gentle vacuum. Blood flows in, the tissue swells and everything becomes more sensitive, before sex, before oral or on its own. Choose a small cup for the clitoris or a larger one for the whole vulva, a hand pump for full control or a model with vibration.
A pump for her does for the vulva what a penis pump does for the penis: it creates a light vacuum over the skin so that blood flows in faster than it flows out. The result is swelling, warmth and a sensitivity that many women describe as a switched-on feeling that lasts well after the cup comes off. This guide helps you choose the right cup and use it safely.
Clitoral pump, vulva pump or nipple sucker
A clitoral pump has a small cup, often about two to three centimetres across, that sits over the clitoris and its hood. It is the most focused choice and the one most people start with. A vulva or pussy pump has a larger, oval cup that covers the inner and outer labia as well, so the swelling and sensitivity are spread over a wider area. Nipple suckers use the same principle on the nipples, and a set of two is a gentle way to find out whether you enjoy suction at all.
Hand pump or with vibration
With a hand pump you squeeze a bulb or trigger and decide the pressure yourself, stroke by stroke, and a release valve lets it go instantly. That makes it the safest way to learn how much suction feels good. Models with vibration add a motor in or behind the cup, so the swollen, sensitive skin is stimulated at the same time. Automatic pumps keep a steady pressure without squeezing.
How to use a pump
Wash the cup and put a little water-based lube on the rim: it helps the seal and protects the skin. Place the cup, pump slowly until you feel a pleasant pull, and stop there. Start with sessions of five to ten minutes, release the pressure, and build up over time; twenty minutes is plenty. Use the swollen, sensitive feeling straight away, with fingers, a toy, oral or penetration.
Safety
A pump should never hurt. Stop if you feel pain, numbness or tingling, and never pump over broken or irritated skin. Do not use a pump during pregnancy, straight after giving birth or if you take blood thinners, and check with a doctor if you have a vascular condition. Clean the cup after every use with warm water and a toy cleaner.
What does a pussy pump do?
It creates a gentle vacuum over the vulva or clitoris. Blood flows into the tissue, which swells and becomes more sensitive, so touch, oral sex and penetration feel more intense.
Is a clitoral pump the same as a clitoral sucker like the Satisfyer?
No. An air pulse toy pulses in and out and never builds a lasting vacuum. A pump holds a steady suction for several minutes, which causes the swelling and lasting sensitivity.
How long can I use a pump?
Start with five to ten minutes and release the pressure in between. Many women use it for up to twenty minutes; longer is not better.
Which size cup do I need?
For the clitoris, a small round cup of about two to three centimetres. For the whole vulva, a larger oval cup. If you are unsure, start with a clitoral cup.
Is the swelling permanent?
No. The effect lasts from minutes to about an hour, depending on the pressure and the time, and then fades completely.
