There are a variety of devices and penis enlargement products available, whether it is through the traditional sex store or the contemporary online mall. Austin Powers brought the antiquated penis enlargement pump tremendous fame after its feature in the hit film. Today’s modern and complex internet market offers men access to a variety of penis enlarging products ranging from enhancement pills, enlargement patches and more recently penis enlargers or penis extenders.

Penis enlargers or penis extenders were developed not to increase the size of the penis, but rather to correct penile curvature. Peyronie’s Disease, a penile disorder that afflicts approximately 1% of the male population, is many times the underlying cause for the curvature of the penis body and shaft. These devices were developed during the late 1970’s to correct this disorder, however the twenty first century has seen the use of this device by the male gender as a tool to augment the size of the penile shaft. Modern penis extenders such as the Eco-Extender are based on the principle of traction force and can create a permanent increase in penis length and girth. By keeping the penis in a continuously stretched state the spongy chambers that fill with blood during an erection will gradually expand and the cells within it will multiply, resulting in a permanent increase in both the flaccid and erect lengths of the penis.

It is important to distinguish between a modern penis extender and the classic penis pump from the Austin Powers movies. Unlike the modern penis extender, a typical penis enlargement pump works by increasing the amount of blood that flows into the penis body. The issue that occurs with the use of penis pumps is the build up of excessive blood in the penile shaft and cavities which can sometimes lead to permanent erectile dysfunction. Another important factor to note is that penis enlargement pumps do not provide permanent results. There are a variety of risks associated with the use of a penis enlargement pump, such as ruptured blood vessels and damaged penile tissue. Many men still use these devices regardless of the results that they will achieve, however it is also important that they protect themselves from the risks associated with some penile enlargement and male enhancement products.
