Jerry,

I think the honest answer is there isn't really that much difference. You have manual or electric. ( my insurance only covered manual ) They all do the same basic thing. I have heard that even the sex shop ones work well.

The other issue is supply. Your medical supply place may only stock one brand. I use vacujet, and it works as advertised.

Save your money,did not do anything for me.  Dont know if I had the right one or not, I just bought a cheapie at the Adult Shop, but found it hopeless.  I'm sure there are more expensive ones out there, which may work better, but each to their own.  You did ask for positive and negative replies......................Cheers Kev

The main purpose of the device is to get blood to flow through Mr Willy to keep him alive and healthy. Anything that will do that should work fine.

I must agree with Steve. The use for me is therapy only. Does not work for sex. If I had to do it again I would go to the Adult shop and pick up one there. My insurance did not cover the devise. My insurance seems to not want to coven anything related to my quality of life events related to PC.

You may want to look at franktalk.com. There is a bit more info there on ED.

I use it for therapy and for help when using trimix. I pump up before I inject my self and also after to draw blood in, after that the trimix will keep the blood in.

My insurance paid for the one I used and it was expensive. I was never pleased with it. The rings are very uncomfortable. I used it for rehab but as others have said it just did not work for sex. For one thing the erection it gave me while firm from the ring out like it was hinged which made using it for sex difficult. I think I only used it once for sex. I moved on to injections about a month after using the VED and have now moved on to a penile implant.

I use a VED for therapy only per blood flow. I've also used it prior to trimix. I do not use it for fun as the old dog has been with me for quite a while and I can't put a choke collar on him. Brand is Erecaid...and yes..very expensive. Per therapy, everything I've read said that the issue is regular circulation to prevent the chambers from atrophy.

Same as what several others said. Got mine at an online sex shop, and glad I got the one with the gauge so I know how much to pump. 5 pounds is about it. I use it whenever I think of it just for therapy, forget it for sex. It's good to know that with the vacuum everything still works. Now if I could only get that same action without the vacuum it would be great.
