This was my first pump purchase and very happy thus far. I did a lot of research prior to all the other person pumps including battery operated and the super expensive Hydromax types. Also did a lot of due diligence in actually reading reviews of other users. Mostly positive but quite a few with low or poor opinions on the quality and effectiveness of this particular one. I decided to give this one a try and I was happy right out of the box. On first use, I could tell a noticeable difference in length and girth. Nothing stupendous yet I definitely felt fuller. Based off the negative comments I read, I decided to use a water based lube on the sheath. It does help with inserting your penis if you're flaccid. Once done I gradually increased pressure, and held it there. After a minute or two I relaxed the pressure and repeated. Each repeat I could feel and see my penis allowing more blood flow in as I continued. The pump did hold the pressure well. While some pressure leaked, it was rather slow doing so. Even though this is a low end pump, the quality was decent and a good value for the money. The handle didn't feel cheap or too fragile at all. I did find the smoke color a little too dark to read the grading scale but this is minor. I personally feel a lot of negative commenters are maybe trying too hard and fast to see a result. As many are probably pumping for the moon right out of the box. But if you use the lube, which does help with maintaining a good deal, along with gradual and repeated pressure, maybe that will help get the results you're looking for.
