The 7 Best Pussy Pumps: Vibrating, Clit, and Vaginal Pumps


When it comes to pussy pumps, you are quite spoiled for choice. There are small ones, large ones, vaginal pumps, clitoral pumps, and even vibrating pussy pumps out there. 

But what is a vaginal pump? Why use a pussy pump in the first place? In this guide, I’m going to answer your questions, give you some tips, and give you my recommendations for 7 of the best pussy pumps out there!

Just to clarify, we’re referring to clit-sucking toys here, not “vaginal farts” or "queefs".

What is a Pussy Pump?

What is a Pussy Pump?

A pussy pump is a pump device which creates a vacuum around the labia, vagina, clitoris, or crotch area as a whole (depending on the size). You use a pump system and a chamber to suck on your pussy and draw blood flow to the area.

Most pussy pumping devices use a bulb-style pump similar to what you find on a bulb enema, but some use a trigger handle and an air pressure gauge for more precise vacuuming if you’re an advanced pussy pumper.

Vaginal pumps come in various styles and sizes depending on the area you want to vacuum. You can get small pussy pumps for clit sucking, mid-sized pussy pumps for labia sucking, and large pussy pumps which cover your entire crotch.

All pussy pumps come with a quick-release valve which allows you to immediately stop the suction and return to normal. This will be located on either the bulb/trigger or the vaginal chamber itself.

Some pussy pumps have 2 quick-release valves – 1 on the bulb and 1 on the chamber. If you’re using the pump in a couple as part of foreplay, this gives both partners easy control over the quick-release system.

Why Use a Pussy Pump?

Using a pussy pump draws blood into your clitoris, labia, and/or entire vagina. This makes your vagina more sensitive and receptive to touch, hence increasing your pleasure during sex or masturbation.

Vaginal pumping can also give you the best-looking pussy possible. If you’re after the swollen and ready-for-sex appearance that vaginas have in high-budget porn films, then a vaginal pump is a great device to try.

Once the blood flows to your labia, you’ll have the appearance of an engorged pussy which is ready to rock ‘n roll. You might not get the best pussy in the world, but you’ll maximize the appeal of the vagina that your mamma gave ya.

Why Use a Pussy Pump?

I know it’s a scientific term, but I always think that “engorged pussy” sounds kind of gruesome. That said, “swollen pussy” doesn’t sound much better. It seems there aren’t many nice-sounding words to describe an engorged pussy.

How to Use a Pussy Pump

How to Use a Pussy Pump

Although there are different types of pussy pump on the market, these instructions will apply to most styles of vaginal or clitoral pump. If you’d prefer a video, LoveHoney's Jess Wilde made a brilliant YouTube video on how to use a pussy pump too.

1. Lube up the rim of the chamber

Apply water-based lube to the rim of the vaginal chamber. This helps to create better suction and makes the pump more comfortable on your skin. The lube also helps the chamber to slide away easily once the pressure has been released.

2. Place the chamber on your vagina/clitoris

Gently place the chamber on your desired area, ensuring that you have a complete seal around the edges. You may need to adjust the angle to ensure a tight seal.

3. Do 1 or 2 small pumps

Using the bulb or trigger attached, perform a couple of small pumps. See if the chamber has sucked onto your vagina as planned. If it hasn’t, readjust the angle and repeat the steps until suction is achieved.

4. Perform more small pumps

Do a few more small pumps until the pussy visibly swells inside the chamber. You should not feel any pain at this point, though it may feel weird.

If you experience pain while pumping, apply the quick-release valve and stop immediately. Your pussy might feel odd, slightly uncomfortable, or aroused when pumping, but it should not feel painful.

5. Leave for up to 10 minutes

Once your pumped pussy is at your desired level of safe suction, leave the pump to do it’s magic! Beginners might want to leave it for 2-3 minutes, but more extreme pussy pumping fans can leave the pump on for up to 10 minutes. DO NOT exceed 10 minutes. Once you’re done, use the quick-release valve to return to normal.

6. Relax for a few minutes

Before you jump into sex or masturbation, I would recommend relaxing for a few minutes and allowing your body’s blood circulation to normalize again – don’t worry, your vagina will still be sensitive for quite a while. It’s also a good idea to apply lube to your vagina after pumping because the area can become very dry with all that suction.

7 Best Pussy Pumps

Here is my top selection for the best pussy pumps, whether you’re into clit pumping, labia sucking, or extreme pussy pumping!

Lovehoney Supreme Sensation Pussy Pump

Get the best pussy in the world!

Lovehoney took the best features from other pussy pumps and put it into a new pump called "Supreme Sensation" – one pussy pump to rule them all! It has a simple straightforward aesthetic that LoveHoney are known for with their cheaper products.

Lovehoney Supreme Sensation Pussy Pump

The rim of the chamber has a large lip which spreads out the pressure it places on your skin, helping your vagina to be as comfortable as possible while you’re sucking on it. The chamber is also completely transparent – this is perfect because it gives you a clear view of the color of your pussy when pumping.

Many vaginal pumps have chambers with tinted colors that aren’t 100% transparent. This makes it hard to tell if your skin is becoming discolored or bruised.

This device also has two quick-release valves: one near the pump and one on the chamber. If you are using it with a partner, this means you both can have control over releasing the vacuum if it becomes too intense. You can also remove the hose after pumping and the cup will still hold a vacuum.

PROS: 2 quick-release valves, strong suction, good price

CONS: Plastic is a bit stiff


Best Beginner Pump: Doc Johnson Pussy Pump

Pretty, pink, pumpable

This affordable device from Doc Johnson is one of the best pussy pumps for beginners. It costs less than $20 on Amazon and its possible to return it if you run into any problems. For me, this pump is simple and gets the job done. It’s also a lovely pinkish/reddish color which makes the whole process feel sexier and less… medical.

Best Beginner Pump Doc Johnson Pussy Pump

The length of the chamber from top to bottom is four inches. This is meant to encase your clitoris, labia majora, and labia minora.  You may want to measure yourself before buying it to make sure it’s a good size.

One thing I don't like about this pump is the red tint on the vacuum chamber itself – it’s much safer to have a transparent chamber so you can see if your pussy is bruising or becoming discolored. Nonetheless, this cheap pussy pump is of decent quality and I’d definitely recommend it on the whole (or on the hole!)

PROS: Reputable manufacturer, affordable price, cute pink design

CONS: Tinted red, flimsy hose


Best Vibrating Pussy Pump: Vibrating Silicone Tickler

Why not have fun while pumping your vajeen?

Finally, a pussy pump made of silicone! Silicone is known for being flexible and body-safe, which is ideal for the majority of sex toys and vaginal pumps. This device is silky smooth, soft, and feels great on the skin.  The cup is also well-formed and indeed flexible, making it easier to get a strong seal than more rigid PVC types.

Vibrating Silicone Tickler

Of course, the main attraction is the vibration. The combined sensation of suction, vibration, and the little “ticklers” on the inside of the chamber is certainly something to write home about.  The more you pump, the more your pussy comes into contact with the ticklers and the more intense it gets – lovely!

It feels like someone has their entire mouth around your puss, humming and tonguing your engorged pussy. I ain’t complaining.

On the downside, the vibration only has one setting and it doesn’t come with the required 1 AA battery, which is always irritating if you don’t have a drawer full of spare batteries or a seldom-used TV remote nearby. Nonetheless, this clit-sucking toy has a cool aesthetic and feel which makes it feel right at home in my sex drawer.

PROS: Silicone construction, vibrations for pleasure, strong suction

CONS: Just 1 vibe setting, batteries not included


Best Trigger-Handle Clitoral Pump

The ultimate clit-sucking toy

This clitoral pump comes with 3 different suction cylinders, so you can find the perfect size and suction for you, whether you have a small clit or a long clit! This clit pump also comes with a trigger handle and air pressure gauge, though I should point out that a couple of users experienced problems with the pressure gauge.

Best Trigger-Handle Clitoral Pump

The suction chambers are made from medical-grade acrylic, so you know you’re getting decent-quality materials for your money. The Size Matters pussy pumping kit also comes with a small variable-speed bullet vibrator for added fun during the process! Although this clit pump looks more at home at a mechanics than a boudoir, you’re certainly getting a premium product for the price tag.

PROS: 3 different sized chambers, trigger handle, air pressure gauge

CONS: Pricey

Rechargeable Vibrating Pussy Pump

21 modes of vibrating pussy pump pleasure!

Another amazing pussy pump from the folks at Doc Johnson, this vaginal pump does all the work for you automatically! Rather than using a bulb or trigger to control the air pressure, this device comes with 3 modes of air suction, so it’s great if you’re new to pumping and not sure how much pressure to apply. It also comes with 7 different vibration settings, so you can tailor your pleasure while pumping your puss up good.

Rechargeable Vibrating Pussy Pump

In additional to being USB rechargeable, like some of the best modern vibrators, it also comes with a completely transparent chamber and a silicone-tipped rim for added comfort and protection. At 3 inches long, it may be a little short for those with a large pussy, but this automatic vibrating pussy pump will be just fine for most ladies.

PROS: 3 levels of suction, 7 vibration modes, USB rechargeable

CONS: Very noisy


Small Portable Black Vaginal Pump

It’s like the LBD of vagina pumps

I’m closing off this best pussy pumps guide with something nice and simple – this little black vaginal pump from Amazon is designed to suck your labia and clitoris with adequate force, giving you increased sensitivity and a nice engorged pussy which is ready for fun.

Small Portable Black Vaginal Pump

The flared style of this pump makes it more comfortable than some of the other products on this list, but the manufacturer doesn’t seem to tell you what the pump is made from, which is a red flag for me. There are also numerous typos in the product description, which doesn’t fill me with confidence either. Still, it may be worth a shot if you’re looking for a small and affordable pussy pump.

In the words of the poorly-written product page: “Simply push the quick-release valve and you’re ready for big-time fun!” I, for one, am ready for big-time fun.

PROS: Portable, simple design, affordable

CONS: Maybe too small for larger vaginas

Advanced Pussy Pump System

Advanced pussy pumping fun!

If you’re looking for a slightly more advanced pussy pumping system, this Temptasia intense pussy pump is perfect for you. The slick transparent acrylic chamber is perfect for more extreme pussy pumping on an average-sized vagina.

Intense pussy pump

The average vagina is around 3-4 inches long, though there are many different types of pussy in the world!

This extreme vagina pump comes with an air pressure release valve, so it's easy to release the pressure safely if it feels like you're pumping just a tad too much. In general, this is a decent vaginal pump, but the absence of an air pressure gauge may deter advanced pumpers.

PROS: Trigger handle, transparent chamber, advanced design

CONS: No air pressure gauge

Are Pussy Pumps Safe? Tips for Using Vaginal Pumps

Pussy pumping is safe if you do it correctly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your vaginal pump or clitoral pump. Here are some tips for pumping your pussy safely:

Transparent chambers

A see-through pussy pump chamber makes it easy to see the color of your labia/clit during pumping. If the area becomes red, blue, purple, or in any way discolored, you should cease pumping immediately. Some pussy pump toys are tinted for aesthetic purposes, but this makes it harder to monitor your vagina throughout.

Are Pussy Pumps Safe

Small frequent pumps

Perform small, frequent pumps instead of long, large pumps. If you use very large pumping motions, you risk sucking too hard and hurting yourself. If you suck slowly and gradually, you can identify a good place to stop before the suction gets uncomfortable or painful.

Don’t go too far

Don’t over-pump your pussy – you want it to look sexy, not in need of medical assistance. Pumping your pussy too hard or for too long can cause tearing and/or bruising of the skin, and I don’t have to remind you how sensitive this area is! Generally speaking, the pumping shouldn’t feel painful and you shouldn’t exceed 10 minutes of suction.

Those who perform “cupping” can experience many similar risks and side effects if they suck on their skin too hard or for too long.

Apply lube after pumping

After pumping, your skin is likely to be very dry from all the suction. Although it’s fine to have sex/masturbate after pumping your pussy safely, you should ideally wait a few minutes for your blood flow to normalize and then apply lube to the area. This will restore moisture and comfort to your pussy during play.

Cum-clusion

Cum-clusion

Whether you’re into extreme pussy pumping or you’re just getting acquainted with clit pumps, these ingenious devices can help you to achieve the best-looking pussy possible while simultaneously heightening your sensitivity and arousal… what’s not to love? Still, we’re applying pressure to a very sensitive part of one’s anatomy, so be safe and stop immediately if you experience pain.

Have fun and stay pumped, ladies!

    Is there a way to pump just the outer lips? Everytime I pump the entire thing gets puffy. I hate it when the clit and the inner lips get puffy too.

  • Inus says:

    Can penis pump use for vagina

  • Anne M says:

    I just pumped my pussy for the first time with a penis pump. I left it on for a good 15-20 mins. My pussy is huge and its been like this for 2 hours now. How long will it go back to normal?

    • JC Ways says:

      Did you say you used a “penis” pump on your vagina?

      To be clear, you should only use purpose-made vagina pumps on your vagina or you could subject it to dangerous amounts of pressure. Seek medical help if necessary.

  • I.M. says:

    My partner and I want to try this, but we’re new to this idea so I have a couple of silly questions – first, will this work on an unshaved pussy? And second, is there danger of it dislodging my IUD?

    • JC Ways says:

      You’ll probably struggle using this on an unshaved pussy because you need a smooth surface for the pump to grip onto.

      Regarding the IUD, I really couldn’t say personally. Perhaps ask a doctor?

    • Keebler says:

      Use the doc Johnson brand it’s what I use on my wife and I don’t let her shave this product works well and comes with different attachments plus it’s electric so no need to hand pump

  • Nicole says:

    I wanted to take my sex to next level with boyfriend. He suggested a pussy pump, we finally got one tonight and let me tell you it was the best idea ever. It made my pussy feel super tight and engorged as we both were totally turned on. He came so hard and it felt great for him and I
    Best sex toy i ever got

  • Mauro says:

    This was written with Google translator!
    My wife loves a big pussy and wants to make it herself, but we want to know if continued use of pumps can make it big forever, which is what she wants.
    Another curiosity we have is that if you use it only once in a while, how long does it take to get back to normal?
    We saw videos where a woman, using pumps, achieves 4 inches of dilation in her pussy and we love it, but to get to that, what could we try to do?

    • JC Ways says:

      Honestly, you’d have to speak to a doctor about something like this. I’m not qualified to talk about that sort of thing I’m afraid!

  • Rod says:

    Want to get wife one

  • Toni says:

    I bought an expencive good quality pussy pump and we tried it. The pussy was looking amazing in the cup but once we take it off afther more that 10 minutes, it instantly go back to normal. It wasn’t left big and pumped like in porno movies. Are all the porno movies with pussy pumping fake?

    • JC Ways says:

      Porn is almost exclusively fake, so I wouldn’t worry if your pussy doesn’t look like it does for porn stars. Female pornstars will often have their pussy pumped regularly in between takes.

  • Holden Thomas says:

    You’re pumping blood into my mind with the word play! I prefer the pussy I enter not to look like a fresh plate of squid, but the information was great! You rock!!!

  • K says:

    If you had to choose between the Lovehoney Supreme Sensation pussy pump (#1) and the Vibrating Silicone Tickler (#3) for a first time buyer, which one would you recommend?

  • K says:

    Which pump would you recommend as a first time purchase–the Lovehoney Supreme Sensation one (#1) or the Vibrating Silicone Tickler (#3)? Thanks!
