With every passing year, men's sexual well-being becomes more and more discussed. So, if 2026 is the year you hope to improve penile health, you might not want the same pump as somebody looking to add stimulation to their sex life. Then again, you might be entirely focused on adding even more enjoyment to your sex life - and if you are, there are penis pumps that can help.

Best Penis Pumps for 2026: Our Recommendations

The Excelsior Smart Automatic Penis Pump with Stroker Sleeve by Lynk Pleasure

Even as 2026 has rolled around, the Excelsior's technology still legitimately puts it into a league of its own - it's more advanced than basically any other penis pump on the market right now. Its motor is very quiet, so if you need to be discreet with your pumping, you can be. Though it's a quiet pump, it's still very powerful, which is more than can be said for many other pumps that are designed to be discreet. Thanks to those internal motors, we were able to receive some very intense suction.

Most of that advanced technology we keep referring to goes into The Excelsior's functions, of which there are many. There are unlimited vacuum suction settings on this electric penis pump - as well as built-in stamina training modes, all of which can be used one-handed.

Included in the package is an interchangeable real-feel masturbation sleeve. Again, there are different speeds and stimulation settings to enjoy with the sleeve - which come in very handy if life-like sensations get you going. Using the scale on the side of the pump, you're able to keep track of the size of your member - though some of our users did find the placement of the gauge made it a little tricky to read.

The Smart functions are another area where The Excelsior stands out. Using Smart AI technology, The Excelsior monitors the pressure inside the pump, gets you to an optimal pressure level, releases, and then re-pumps again and again. This allows the pump to maximize blood flow, and therefore, penis growth.

Additionally, the Smart memory feature remembers your most effective pumping routine, which is useful as it means you don't have to fiddle with settings before your next pumping session and instead can get right to it. One thing to bear in mind is that all of the electronic features mean this pump isn't waterproof, so don't take it with you in the shower or bath.

Sure, this isn't a cheap penis pump - but it's still widely regarded as the very best on the market, leading into 2026. The Excelsior is smart, sturdy, and works very well, extremely reliable - it should check all your boxes.

Results From Our Testers

• All the features are fun to play with while also being legitimately useful
• The pump really is quiet while in use
• Great battery life - 3 hours of usage for a single hour of charging
• Suction is strong and quick
• Not waterproof - this isn't a huge deal, just a bit of a shame
• Works decently as a stroker but would've been nice to see some extra sex toy features like vibrations

Bathmate Hydromax7 Water Penis Pump

Bathmate's Hydroxax7 penis pump was designed to fill the gap in the market for penis pumps that fit men whose penises are between 5 and 7 inches long, with girths of under 6.5 inches.

The use of water here is actually more important than you may realize; not only does the water mean achieving a vacuum seal is nice and easy (which is what helps these pumps increase your size more than air-based pumps), but it also makes it very comfortable to use, which is a great combo.

This particular penis pump is actually an upgrade over an older version - the original Hydro7 pump. The Hydromax7 is around 35% more powerful than the Hydro7 due to improvements to the bellows - the concertina-style section at the base. Now with an increased size - and enhanced material - there's a lot more space here to accommodate more penis gains.

As with all Bathmate penis pumps, the Hydromax7 can also swivel around on top of the bellows which lets you rotate the measuring gauge (which uses both metric and imperial units) around for a better view of your member.

As we mentioned earlier, this pump is designed for men with penises which, when erect, are between 5 and 7 inches long, with girths up to 6.5 inches. While this does cover beyond the average penis size, and therefore quite a lot of men, this pump won't be an appropriate size for some of you, so bear that in mind.

Some other additions to this pump are an insertable elastomer comfort pad - which gives the base of your penis more support and also helps make the seal tight - as well as the inclusion of what Bathmate has dubbed the "Super Flow Latch Valve" system. All this really does is allow you to easily fill the pump with water in the shower with one hand, which is nice.

Finally, there are textured vessels at the top and the base of the pump which give you a better grip of the device - these both make it comfier to hold and use. This really is a very effective pump - as long as you find yourself somewhere between the recommended size range, you'll probably get the best results possible.

Results From Our Testers

• Very effective - we saw good results
• Feels a little strange at first but once you're used to it it's nice and comfy
• Easy to use, not as much of a learning curve as you might expect from a penis pump but if you've never used one it might still take time
• You have to take care to shut the valve properly as it can leak otherwise and ruin the pressure
• Works a lot better if your pubic hair is trimmed
• If you're even slightly too thick, the pressure can cause slight bruising - not painful but not ideal

Optimum Series Advanced Automatic Smart Penis Pump by Cal Exotics

The Cal Exotics Optimum Series Advanced Smart pump was a very close runner-up to being crowned our best overall pump, but this time around has once more been crowned the Best Feeling Pump of 2026, thanks, frankly, to just how great it feels to use.

The standard donut sleeve feels nice and comfortable, but the stroker sleeve is definitely the more interesting option - it's the reason this is the best feeling pump on this list.

While this customization is a neat feature, you'll mainly want to use the stroker sleeve for pleasure - stick to the standard sleeve for serious pumping. We do want to reiterate though - the textured stroker sleeve does feel great, especially when combined with the suction power.

Using the stroker sleeve may leave you closer to climaxing than if you use the standard sleeve though, so bear that in mind if you're pumping before having sex with a partner.

Cal Exotics also made sure to load this pump up with advanced features. There are numerous settings, pressures, and exercises to choose from, around half of which are dedicated to the standard purpose of the pump, growing your penis and improving your stamina with workouts that last up to 20 mins. The remaining half is dedicated to pleasure, working in tandem with the stroker sleeve to enhance sensations.

At the top of the pump is an LCD screen which makes it easy to keep track of exactly which settings you're using. It's also very easy to flick through the various settings - the controls are simple enough that you can use them with one hand.

Results From Our Testers

• Pumping feels really great with this one
• Interchangeable sleeves are a nice feature, both are good choices
• Stroker sleeve feels especially good but will bring you closer to climax than the standard sleeve - we'd recommend using the standard one if you're planning on having sex afterward
• Higher-powered settings really drain the battery
• Not quite as powerful as some of the other advanced electronic pumps on the market
• The smart memory features are very useful

Max Boost Pro Flow Rechargeable Electric Hydro Penis Pump

For 2026, we have a brand new entry in our Best Electric Features slot - the Max Boost Pro Flow hydropump from Pump Worx. It's another penis pump that uses water instead of air to create a vacuum, but where this pump differs from the Bathmate's offerings is that it uses electricity instead of a manual pumping mechanism - making it incredibly easy to use.

The hydroelectric nature of this pump is why we like it so much. Manual pump technology has come a long way, but automatic, electric pumps like this one are still leagues ahead when it comes to ease of use. You also get other advanced features such as 4 constant suction speeds, 4 automatic suck-and-release patterns, and a "manual mode" where you choose how long to use suction.

As this is a hydro pump, it applies more even pressure than air pumps, making it a whole lot more comfortable, which, along with the ease of use, makes this a great pump for beginners. The water pressure is also much less likely to cause irritation or bruising, which can be an issue with the uneven nature of air pumps.

At the top of the pump, you'll find the button controls, as well as bright LED indicators that shift between green, yellow, and red to give you an idea of the pressure levels inside the acrylic cylinder. There's no pressure gauge, but these lights (as well as the fact that the pump is automatic and uses preprogrammed settings) mean that there isn't much risk of over-pumping, unless you're on manual mode, which has unlimited pressure. Luckily, there's a quick-release pressure button just in case, but remember to take care and keep an eye on the LEDs.

Included with this pump is a soft silicone "donut" that attaches to the base for extra comfort, and helps achieve a super solid vacuum seal, which you'll need for effective use. You also get a cable used to recharge the battery, and a 2.5-hour charge gives you 160 minutes of use - just shy of 3 hours. While we wouldn't recommend pumping for 3 hours straight, this battery life is very good.

Results From Our Testers

• It really is very easy to use - using a manual penis pump can be a pain, so the automatic pumping is greatly appreciated
• The silicone sleeve makes it nice and comfortable to use, as does the water-pressure - overall a very comfy pump
• It's hard to over-pump with this one, but it's nice to have the quick-release pressure button there just in case when using manual mode
• Since there are only a couple of buttons, you can use it one-handed quite comfortably
• We saw good results with consistent use of this pump, and the variety of speeds makes it easy to get into a routine of progression

Performance VX2 Male Enhancement Pump & Gauge Set

Our pick for the Best Penis Pump for Beginners category is another new entry for 2026 - the Performance VX2 pump by Blush Novelties. It's designed to be a cheap, simple, easy-to-use pump that gives good results without overcomplicating things, making it an excellent choice for anyone who is taking their first steps into the world of pumping.

Honestly, this pump includes anything a beginner could need to easily improve their erections while staying safe. Attached to the premium plastic cylinder via a convenient connector is a trigger-style grip, which makes it easy to pump up the pressure to a level you're comfortable with.

On top of the cylinder, right before the hose connector, is a large pressure gauge that allows you to keep an eye on the pressure as you build it with the trigger. This gauge makes it nice and easy to avoid overpumping, and the quick-release valve means that even if you do pump the pressure up a little too high, you're never more than a moment away from releasing it all.

At the base of the pump, you'll find a PVC seal for extra comfort. This material is soft and non-porous, meaning it won't harbour as much bacteria as a material like TPE. The cylinder itself is designed to fit most men with an insertable length of 7.5 inches and a width of 2.25 inches, so you should find it a comfortable fit no matter your size.

One thing to note is that there is no measuring gauge on the side of the cylinder, but this isn't such a big deal for beginners. Almost to make up for this, included with the Performance VX2 pump is a stretchy cock ring, which will allow you to prolong your improved erections even further.

Results From Our Testers

• It's a simple pump, but it gets the job done, and beginners should find it simple to use
• Pressure gauge is a fantastic addition for beginners as well - it's much easier to stay safe when keeping an eye on the pressure gauge
• Trigger-style grip makes it easy to manually pump
• Not the largest pump but will work well for most men
• Cock ring is a nice addition - lets you make use of the effects of pumping immediately

Pros and Cons

Automatic Precision Electric Penis Pump

There are a lot of electric pumps on the market, but many of them go overboard with complex features and controls that can put off beginners. The Automatic Precision Pump from Lynk Pleasure has a wide range of settings, automatic features, and advanced technology, all the while remaining simple to use - which is why, once again, we're crowning it the easiest to use pump for 2026.

Unlike a phone, you can't just bring a penis pump screen closer to your eyes when it's in use - which is why the LCD screen at the top of the pump is so useful. The screen is large and backlit, which makes it stand out in the dark. This makes it easy to use the pump whenever you want while still having a good idea of what settings and pressure you're using.

We found these controls useful for gradually building up from a lower to a higher pressure. These higher pressures will give you quicker gains, but you can't use them for too long without it getting a little uncomfortable, so be sure to keep an eye on how high you're going.

The pump also includes a one-handed automatic quick-release valve among the other controls. This is always a great feature to see - it's important to stay safe when sticking your penis into a vacuum pump.

Included with the electric pump cylinder is the silicone donut sleeve which is used to create a good vacuum seal around your penis, making sure none of the pressure escapes. This sleeve is comfortable but it is quite tight - while this is often necessary for maintaining that aforementioned vacuum seal, it might cause discomfort for guys with girthier members.

The Automatic Precision from Lynk is a great all-rounder that we, and plenty of our customers, found to be super easy to use - and we also saw good results. It's powerful, comfortable, and a great price for an automatic pump.

Results From Our Testers

• The range of automatic features make it a good time to play around with
• Suction is nice and powerful
• Simple to use - controls are quick to learn
• Sleeve is very tight, might cause problems for guys with thicker penises
• Will probably be too small for guys with longer penises too - the cylinder is only 8 inches long
• You'll need to trim your pubes to get the best vacuum seal

Deluxe Erectile Dysfunction Pump Package by LA Pump

Although there are lots of features and designs in this list of the best vacuum device penis pumps, it's important to remember that lots of pump users are going into 2026 looking for a product that's effective at helping out with their erectile dysfunction.

The LA Pump Deluxe Erectile Dysfunction Pump Package is actually recommended by doctors, so it's safe to say that this is a pump that'll really help you out if you do struggle with ED.

As an air penis pump, this device definitely isn't cheap, especially for a pump that's lacking in electronic or automatic features, but that doctor's recommendation does carry a lot of weight. Though pumps are prescribed by medical professionals as a treatment for ED, it's not often that you hear about them recommending a specific pump, which is promising.

The design of the cylinder is simple, and you can choose between three different widths (1.75", 2", 2.25") for the best possible fit. The extra thick-walled cylinder means there's no silicone seal needed at the bottom - in theory. While it is possible to achieve a vacuum seal here, there is less leeway than you get with a soft seal, so make sure your pubes are trimmed, and don't move around too much.

Unlike other pumps, the ED pump does not have a flared base, rather the cylinder is almost twice as thick as other cylinders on the market. This design is comfortable and allows you to slide a constriction band - or cock ring - down to the base of your pelvis without anything getting in your way, and without relieving pressure.

This trigger pump is operated with a squeeze of the hand, and we were surprised at just how much pressure it delivers with a single pump. This does mean that you'll need to be careful - pay attention to the air pressure gauge to ensure you don't overpump.

You'll notice this review is for the "Package" deal. This means you get 3 medical-grade constriction rings for a few extra dollars compared to the stand-alone pump. Constriction rings are also useful for helping maintain an erection, so this package really is designed to be perfect if you're pumping to deal with ED issues. Hence, the Deluxe Penis Pump has again been crowned as The Best Premium Pump for Erectile Dysfunction.

Results From Our Testers

• Really does help reduce the symptoms of ED
• The fact that this pump is medically approved is a huge bonus, but we can't help but feel that it inflates the price, which is a lot for a manual pump
• The range of widths available is a nice touch, especially considering the lack of a soft stretchy sleeve
• The additional constriction rings are very useful, and it's great how you can put them on without relieving the pressure of the pump
• The trigger grip, while easy to use, isn't as comfortable as some other pumps we tested

The Excelsior Smart Automatic Penis Pump with Stroker Sleeve by Lynk Pleasure - 12 Inch Version

You may have noticed that this year's entry for the Best Large Penis Pump is the same as our Best Overall Pump - Lynk Pleasure's Excelsior. Well, that would be correct - only here, there's one very large difference. We're happy to report that our favorite penis pump is now available with a 12-inch cylinder, making it officially the largest electric pump on the market.

The reason large penis pumps are so important is that erectile dysfunction doesn't care about the size of your penis - it's just as likely to be a problem for someone who's generously hung as it is for someone who's on the smaller side of average. Manufacturers such as Lynk are aware of this, as well as the fact that, despite being big already, some guys might just want to be bigger.

Regardless of the size of your member, you should be able to improve your erections - and now Lynk has you covered with an XL version of our long-standing Best Overall pump. It's packed with all the same features, so we're heartily recommending it once again. If you're a well-endowed guy who's interested in an advanced electric penis pump full of smart features, Lynk has really come through for you with this one.

Results From Our Testers

• Like with the smaller version, all the features are useful and fun to play with - and now larger guys get to test them all out
• It's quite a bulky pump, but it's still not too heavy - it's comfortable to use and hold
• Nice and quiet during use, helps keep it discreet
• The battery life is the same, with 3 hours use from one hour charging - nice
• The suction is still strong and quick, despite the fact that the cylinder is larger - this makes sense as your penis still takes up a similar percentage of the volume
• It's still not waterproof, so don't try it out in the bath
• Once again, it works nicely as a stroker, but there are no extra sex features such as vibrations - just something to be aware of

Pros and Cons

12-Inch Endurance Penis Pump Erection Enlargement System

If you're new to the world of penis pumps and also happen to be well-endowed, the Endurance 12-inch pump is probably a great choice for your needs. No fancy electronics are included, but if you're packing serious length and looking for a simple manual pump that performs exceptionally well, this is what we consider the Best Oversized Pump for Beginners in 2026.

This might not seem like a big difference, but finding a size that fits you perfectly is important when it comes to achieving the results you want.

With this pump, there's no silicone or TPE seal at the bottom of the cylinder. The flared base is what lets it achieve its vacuum seal - which is a little sturdier than pumps that lack a soft sleeve but don't have a flared base. Similar to other no-soft-seal pumps, you'll want to make sure your pubes are on the shorter side.

The pump itself is well-constructed and effective. The silicone handle is comfortable to hold, and the tough brass chambered pressure pump is powerful. There's also an accurate pressure gauge to help you get growth conditions exactly right.

Furthermore, the trigger pump is a very welcome addition. The additional leverage it offers makes it very easy to get plenty of pressure, especially compared to manual pumps that lack this mechanism and use a squeeze-ball. This ease of pumping also means the pump is a good choice for well-endowed men who also have mobility issues.

Results From Our Testers

• Perfect if you have a longer penis that isn't a monster girth-wise
• Nice and easy to use, pumping the trigger feels good
• It's actually modular so you can swap out different parts if you want - this is good if you prefer particular pumping mechanisms for example
• Vacuum seal is stronger than with pumps that don't have a flared base, but not as strong as those with soft sleeves
• The choice of multiple widths is nice to see
• Make sure your pubes are trimmed before use as they can prevent a good seal

Deluxe Trigger Precision Penis Pump for Men

We're finishing up this list with a new entry in our Best Manual Pump with Gauge entry. For 2026, our pick is the Deluxe Trigger Precision Pump by Size Matters; billed as a professional-grade pump for serious users, this device is built with hard-wearing components designed to withstand years of use. And, as its place in this list suggests, it has a fantastic gauge and an easy-to-use trigger.

Let's get right into that pressure gauge. Sitting right above the cylinder is the large face with a spinning needle, allowing it to display the pressure levels with literal pinpoint accuracy. Keeping an eye on pressure is vital for safe pumping - especially with an air pump - and this gauge has one of the most informative analog displays we've seen in a pump.

It's even more crucial to keep an eye on pressure with a pump that makes it so easy to achieve its primary purpose. The trigger-style grip this pump's name refers to requires next to no effort to use, which is very useful for getting the pressure to where you need it.

This pump includes a soft TPE seal, which boosts comfort and helps make achieving a vacuum seal nice and easy. Luckily, there are lots of other seals that will fit the cylinder, since it's the industry standard size of around 2.5 inches - so there's no need to worry if your gains cause you to outgrow the one included.

The cylinder itself is also ergonomically designed to be comfortable to hold, featuring textured grips on the sides. Near where the hose connects to the cylinder, there's a valve that'll allow you to quickly release all the pressure if things ever do get uncomfortable, which helps keep you safe while pumping away.

Results From Our Testers

• Air gauge is super detailed and accurate, making it very easy to keep track of the exact pressure
• Trigger grip is so easy to use, which necessitates the gauge and quick-release valve, but it is very helpful for quick pumping
• The pump feels sturdy and durable - we wouldn't throw it around too much, but it'll definitely survive some rougher use
• The cylinder is comfortable to hold thanks to the textured grips, and it's comfy to use in general thanks to the TPE sleeve

About The Best Penis Pumps for 2026

1. The different types of pumps

In 2026, vacuum pumps come in various styles and designs.  When testing products, we try to give a variety of options that will suit the needs of different people.  The types of pumps that are most common are listed below.

Standard vacuum air pumps | Manual & Electric

These are the most common types of penis pumps and come in both manual as well as electric versions.

These use negative air pressure to create the vacuum inside of the cylinder - most penis pumps work in this way.

They can include pump seals to keep the vacuum or often have flared bases in place of the seal.

It is very safe to use a penis pump for both temporary enlargement as well as fighting erectile dysfunction - not least because air pumps have a pressure release valve, and an electric automatic penis pump will have a safety shut-off that stops the motor immediately.

Water/Hydro pumps

Water pumps, also called hydro penis pumps, are another exceptionally popular option. These pumps often rely on water rather than air to alter the pressure in the pump.

Many users report that it's more comfortable to use hydro pumps compared to air pumps because water creates a gentle wrap around the penis.

The biggest downfall with hydro pumps is the water. You must use in or near a bath.

These too are generally safe to use for both temporary enlargement as well as fighting erectile dysfunction.

2. Safety & Quality

Penis enlargement pumps can be fun but they are a serious piece of equipment.  They go on your penis so they should be taken seriously.

If you're planning on buying a pump in 2026, make sure to purchase a high-quality pump with a limiter and a quick-release valve.  These are important safety features that will keep you happy and healthy.

A high-quality acrylic cylinder is equally as important.  If you purchase a flimsy cylinder, you risk cracking it under pressure.  So, make sure it's got good reviews and is made of material that will withstand the pressure.

3. Sizing

A pump is only as good as the fit on your penis.  In order to maximize the results and get a truly effective penis pump, it needs to fit you correctly.  You want to have 2" to 3" of space above the tip of your penis and at least 1/2" of space around the girth.

By having the correct measurements you will find a penis pump that fits and works properly, and you'll end up having a better overall experience. If the pump is too big, it will be hard to hold and use.  Check out our penis pump size guide if you have further questions.

4. Effectiveness

We tapped our experts and peer reviewers as major contributors to our list of best penis pumps for 2026.  This helped us quickly remove the cheap, dangerous, and poor-quality pumps.

Many of the reviewers were almost certainly looking for effectiveness and functionality similar to you - so read each one before making your decision.  Take your time and do the research - you'll be glad you did when you have a quality pump in your possession.

Final Thoughts on The Best ED Pumps for 2026

Penis pumps and vacuum erection devices, like other intimate items, are very personal.

It is important that you decide exactly the features that you need to maximize your penis size and your sex life.  If going through this top 10 penis pump list still left you with questions, check out our comprehensive penis pump FAQs.

No matter what though, we can all agree that penile health is important for both physical and mental health.  Make 2026 the year you take it seriously and enjoy the process.
