After reading some reviews on penis pumps I thought I would give it a try; I mean what guy wouldn't like to see there penis bigger?

A penis pump can be used for penis enlargement or for masturbation. This pump could be used for both. If you can get off on a loose sleeve or are fairly large in girth, this can be used for masturbation. If suction is your thing it might work for that also.

The thing is it is hard to get both at the same time.

The Jack off pump from California Exotics was my choice for my first penis pump. You can chose red or black; both are clear so you can see the action with one exception, this pump comes with a sleeve. This is the one flaw I found with this pump, the sleeve. Let us see or not see why...

This pump is made of plastic, which makes up the cylinder (ABS) and hose, sleeve, bulb (PVC).
.
The sleeve is made of jelly. The sleeve fits the outer sleeve tightly and I found it hard to get back in when it is removed for cleaning. I had to use a long dowel to work it in, you could use some lube to help here. This is the firmest jelly I have ever felt.

The inside of the jelly sleeve is nubbed for your pleasure, if you are girthy enough or, like I said before, like loose fitting sleeves. You can see a picture of the sleeve turned inside out here

There was a slight plastic smell upon opening the box, but nothing overpowering. In fact, I had to put it right up to my nose to smell it at all.

The hard sleeve is 7 3/4" long and is 2" in diameter. The bottom of the sleeve has been rounded so it will not cut through the jelly sleeve or in to your skin. The hose is 9" long and the bulb is 4 1/2". The hose is flexible and has a accordion shape to make it harder to crimp. The jelly sleeve is 7" long and when installed has a 1 3/4" inner diameter. There is a small hole at the top to facilitate the air being drawn out, thus sucking your penis.

The bulb fit easily in your hand and there is a one-way valve inside. There is also a release button so you can release the vacuum if you pump to much or if is causing pain.

So the sleeve did nothing for me, in order to get a seal I had to "seat" the base against my body/pelvic bone. When working the bulb this tried to suck my testicles in with my penis, this in turn felt like I was getting a giant hickey around the base and not sucking my penis as much as I would like. Plus there is no way I could stroke without losing suction. That being said, I think if you want to stroke and you are smaller than 5 1/2" circumference you might want to purchase a attachment like this.

Also, the sleeve takes away the visual stimuli of seeing my member grow and expand.

For traveling by plane, like another reviewer said, watch "Austin Powers: The International Man of Mystery". This says it all, any one seeing this toy WILL know what it is for.

So I found that once you get it to seat (a thick lube works best) two pumps was sufficient to start with, three would cause discomfort and want to suck in my 'boys'.

I highly recommend doing some research and learn the effects of over pumping. I found this on "Go ask Alice", after doing a Google search, "If the pump is not used correctly, however, there can be loss of sensation, loss of penile skin, and even permanent damage to tissue surrounding the penis". We don't want that do we?

Please be careful!

For use you can use water or silicone based lubes (the thicker the better) but not oil based, this will degrade the jelly sleeve.

For clean up I recommend taking off the hose first, you do not want water to get in there, if the water does not dry it could get moldy. Not a good thing.

The two sleeves can be cleaned with a antibacterial toy cleaner, or mild soap and water. The plastic can even be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol. The jelly is very porous so no sharing, unless you can figure out how to put on condom when your penis is flaccid. I guess you could get hard first, but really that is not as fun as watching your penis being sucked to full erection.

For storage I found a old shirt and wrap it up and place in my night stand. You could use the box that it came in for storage but I do not have that much room.

Packaging was your basic display box like you would see in a brick and mortar store. The box is 6" wide x 11 1/2" tall x 3" deep. Not the easiest box to store unless you have a large toy box. On the from is the name and a clear plastic window were you can see the pump displayed. On the back there are some pictures of the pump and inner sleeve. On the bottom you will find some safety information and the company website and copyright info.

I did not find any instructions but I think if you are buying this toy you will know how to use it.

For my first try at a penis pump I would say it was somewhat of a disappointment. It did make me hard and somewhat bigger but not being able to stroke it or see what was going on inside just did not make it a good experience. Maybe if I was bigger around...

I did take a older masturbation sleeve that lost its usefulness and cut off about three inches to make a seal type attachment, this provided a seal to my shaft (not my body) and allowed me to see inside as my member grew. You can see this modification here.
