One risk we haven't mentioned so far is infection. If you don't take the correct care of your penis pump when cleaning and storing, bacteria can become a problem and infect your penis. Each model will include complete care and cleaning instructions, depending on the materials and operation. To keep yourself safe and infection-free, you must follow them to the last detail. Most will suggest thorough cleaning with warm soapy water. Others will recommend specialist cleaning materials designed for sex toys and tools. You should always clean them immediately after use and sanitize them once a week. A mild soap is ideal for sensitive skin, and during your cleaning regime, you shouldn't forget the rings, tubes, and any extra components you use with them.
