FTM Pump Comparison: Deluxe vs Pro vs Everything Else
Two pumps, one difference that matters: the Deluxe Gauge Edition is manual and the Pro Pump is rechargeable with modes and more power. Both have a digital gauge, the same three cylinders with silicone comfort cushions, ruler stickers, and the One-Year Maker's Warranty. The chart below also shows what you get in the $38 to $47 kits sold as FTM pumps, which are nipple pumps with small cylinders.
Quick pick. Starting out, partner play, or you like feeling the pressure yourself: Deluxe, $79.99. You want more power, more levels, and a pump that runs itself: Pro, $129.99. Either one with Jack is the best value: Deluxe + Jack $129.99 (save $29.99 versus the Deluxe regular price of $99.99 plus Jack at $59.99 ($159.98 total)), Pro + Jack $159.99.

Deluxe Gauge Edition
The original bottom growth pump, rebuilt for its fifth year. You press, you pump, you read the number on the gauge, you release with the valve on the handle. Three cylinders with removable silicone cushions so the rim sits soft against you, and ruler stickers so you can track your own numbers. $79.99. In stock.
Pro Pump
Same cylinders, same cushions, same stickers, with a rechargeable motor. Manual mode when you want control, automatic when you want to set it and relax, blow job mode for a different rhythm. Shower safe. One hour of charge gives you one hour of run time. $129.99.
If you have the Pump 2.0
The Pump 2.0 evolved into the Deluxe. Its pull bar became a press-and-pump handle, and it picked up a gauge, cushions, and two more cylinders. Your 2.0 keeps doing what it always did; when you want the gauge, the Deluxe is the step.
The $42 kits
Most of what is sold online as an FTM pump is a nipple pump with a new label: a squeeze bulb and cylinders from half an inch to an inch across, with a hard rim. We made ours because those are uncomfortable on bottom growth. Custom molds, a cushioned rim, cylinders sized for the tissue they are meant for, and a gauge so you know what you are doing.
Choosing a cylinder
Start with the one that fits comfortably now and leaves room. If your tissue reaches the end of the cylinder during a session, size up. The three sizes cover starting out through years on T. How to measure walks through using the ruler stickers.
Reading the gauge
Beginners start around 100 to 150 mbar on the Deluxe and 10 to 15 kPa on the Pro. The gauge chart converts between mbar, kPa and inHg.
