Questions and thoughts from Extender users

**Squid** · 03-19-2010

Hey guys,

I am in my third week on an extender and had a few thoughts and questions for experienced users. Newbies like myself can of course chime in but wanted to get some input on several things I have been thinking about.

1) Did you find that your PE program was not producing the results you wanted and that switching to an extender mad a big difference?

I personally switched over myself because after 6 months of fairly structured and well rounded routine, my EL had changed little to not at all. My flaccid stretch had increased close to .25 and my girth has actually appeared (I have not managed to get a reasonable measurement for awhile) to have increased slightly judging by the "feel" of it, but nothing of what one hopes after 6 months of several hours a day. My first PE experience 10 years ago (in my early 30s) produced around 1/2 an inch with very little in the way of good technique so am trying to find what works to get similar results.

2) How long did it take before you saw results and what kind of hours did you put in?

I started the first week at 2 to 3 hours 5 days a week but am now in my third week doing between 5 to 6. I have extended the attachment slightly even though I have recorded no EL gain. I am going to give it another 4 weeks before tackling the tape measure again. The idea of an extender seems to have the most merit to me so will be giving the time for sure with it. By next week I intend to be up to 6 to 7 hours.

3) Did you notice any girth gain?

Though my length has not changed thus far, it feels as if it has gotten slightly thicker in my third week. Now, "feels" may not be very accurate but has remained consistently thicker in feel so far.

4) Since the stretch in the extender is mainly the mid shaft of the penis rather than the base ligaments, do you continue to either hang weights or manually stretch?

I am doing mainly extender and clamping for girth, but still incorporate weights about 30 to 60 minutes, 3 times a week. I imagine still pulling the ligs is probably helpful and the extender is not really going that deep.

5) Just for fun, has your extender come off at any bad moments?

I just had mine pop off while standing in line at the post office in shorts. My hands were holding boxes and had to clamp my legs to hold the pieces from falling out and hitting the floor. Sweats next time for the post office for sure!

Okay guys, thanks in advance.

Well, not a lot of responses on this so far :-/

I had made another observation lately and that was my pain and irritation from the extender always occurs at the devices connection on my testicles. It starts to burn after awhile. When I lie down and have the device/penis lay up towards my stomach rather than down the leg, it doesn't happen as much obviously.

Well I have only been using my extender for barely over one week now, I would like to hear answers from more experienced users but I'll put in my little bit of info.

1. I did jelqs and stretches for almost 4 months and saw no results, tried a lil bit of hanging but found it hard to stick to a routine. Found an affordable extender on ebay and just bought it, hoping to see some results over the next few months. I am going to be starting up jelqs again, starting with only 50 and adding atleast 10 every other session. Also will continue manual stretching, and hoping to get a couple hours of hanging in a week.

2. Well after one week I put in close to 30 hours, not expecting any results yet, hoping to see little changes over next couple of weeks. I believe/hope 30 hours a week will get me some gains but I really have no idea how to maximize my gains using an extender. Am I overdoing it? underdoing it? How stretched should I be right now? When do I add rods?

3. Hoping for girth gains, will be waiting a few months though.

4. I am going to keep hanging and manually stretching, as you said squid, extender seems to stretch the shaft but hanging and stretching can isolate different parts, specifically the ligs and base.

5. Nope, I am really hoping this doesn't happen to me!

I have a few question of my own on using an extender too. Im not sure how stretched I should be in relation to my bpfsl and bpel? And when I should add rods? Can I overwork myself? Do you warmup prior to extending? Some people say they wear theirs for 5+hours straight, others say you should not do more than 1 or 2 hours straight, why the different opinions?
Thanks guys,

fisch

Good questions Fisch. I have recently upped my rod using just one of the smaller ones. So far it is fine so will stay with it. I did try and use a longer one last week but was pulling to uncomfortable on the glans. I think at the most I have had it on for 3.5 hours but most of the time after about 2 hours I take it off since it either slips or I get irritation. Sometimes you get a better fit I guess. Right now I am sitting with it on for almost an hour but is slipping a bit so will have to redo it.

Cal mentions this "head swell" approach but this hasn't really worked for me as once I get it a bit erect and on, it eventually returns back to the same flaccid size. But, I am still getting a good stretch so feel it is working pretty well. I am hoping to get up to 8 hours a day in a couple weeks. Right now I am at about 25 to 30 a week.

I have used, and am still using an X4Labs extender. I started in June '09 and being retired, used it quite aggressively, getting 4 to 7 hours a day of wearing time, 7 days a week, about 600 gm to 700 gm. In that 7 month period I gained about 1.4", not all that precise in my measurements. I supplement my PE by using an AutoXsleeve, plus the usual plethora of warming up, hand stretching exercises, warming down.
After 7 months, I switched to a 45 day maintenance, not too aggressive with extender use.
In the latest 2 months, I have returned to the more aggressive wearing of my X4, increasing the "pull or tension" from 600 gm to 1100 gm. I am now seeing an increase in flaccid length/hang, and an increase in stretched length. I suspect there is a slight increase in erect, but I try to not get carried away with measurements, or to post them either.
Because the X4 extender allows me to control the amount of "pull" ( in grams), I can control the wearing to only use moderate pulling force and avoid cellular tearing/scaring, which can cause things to work in the wrong direction. Scaring resists pulling, and does not add length. I mention this aspect for anyone reading this and having an extender that does not allow you to control the amount of pull. It is one aspect of using an extender that can make or break your success. One other aspect is building up to using different tensions. One should not go "balls to the wall" right away, but instead build up over months.
Regards,
Dangler

I am in my fourth week of using the extender...No sorry...no real improvement in length or in girth...but guys seriously something is happening...My dick hangs heavier, sex seems better, i last longer, my get a full rock hard erection that i have missed for the last three years...I might be imagining it but my erect state shows a bit of thickness...More veiny...More musculine...I will keep you posted and load some pictures...

Keep long and thick guys! lol!

**fisch28** · 03-23-2010

Yeah I also read a bit about the head swell that Cal had mentioned, and like you squid, even if I get it in the noose with more blood in it, after a few minutes it seems to go down to its normal size.

I haven't had any experience with the extender slipping from too much tension, maybe I should add a second little rod.

Wow Dangler, 1.4 in 7 months sounds great, I hope I can achieve that. I am sure knowing the force is exteremely helpful, I was hoping someone had some sort of strategy of extending based off bpfsl or el, but I guess that would be fairly inconsistent person to person.

**fisch28** · 03-23-2010

Oh about the warming up/warming down, Dangler mentioned he does it. What about you squid? and cujo?

Okay guys, thanks in advance.

The post office story is enough to give me nightmares! (But that didn't stop me from laughing out loud.)

Which brands/models are you guys using?
Please post reviews in the "Product Review" section of the gym. I have not looked into exenders yet, but they may be in my future so I realy appreciate you guys sharing your experiences. Thanks.
