Using a Vacuum Erection Device (VED) correctly can maximize results and improve comfort. Start by applying a water-based lubricant to create a tight seal around the base. Place the cylinder over the penis and slowly pump to create suction, drawing blood into the shaft. Once an erection is achieved, slide the constriction ring to the base to maintain firmness, then carefully remove the cylinder. Keep the ring on for no more than 30 minutes to prevent complications. With consistent use, a VED can be an effective, non-invasive solution for erectile dysfunction. *The information provided on the site is for educational purposes only, and does not substitute for professional medical advice.
