Spring loaded V.S. Screw out Extenders which is better

[JB1977 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close JB1977]

Hey, I just bought a cheap $60 extender on ebay. The extender is a screw out type, meaning you strap it on and turn the nuts on both extender rods to extend you penis out to desired stretched length. Now, I've tried it and I feel like I get a good stretch going. But, my question is which is better the springloaded or the screw out extender. Most of the ones I've seen on the internet are springloaded.. Just curious... Thanks

Some feel "static stretching" with a device like yours is best. Others feel that "dynamic stretching" with a spring-loaded device is better.

You may need to readjust and slightly increase the tension after you have had the device on for a while and the tissues relax into the stretch, so a non spring-loaded device may require a bit more attention.

Good question, I also have a question which pertains to extenders. Do you have to buy them off the internet? Or can you buy them at stores?

My guess is a local sex shop might carry a few extenders but frankly I have never been in a sex shop so I would not know. I keep thinking there's people in the back masturbating to porn but I guess that's just my paranoia about it. The last thing I want to do is open some door and there is a guy whacking off back there.

As far as spring versus screws, I don't know what models you are talking about, will you name them. An X4 Labs extender is both sprung AND screw-driven. It has hollow rods with springs inside and you hook your totem pole of righteousness into it then gradually extend the screws as a session goes on. You really need to be able to screw the rods out as time goes on because your totem pole of tolerance and mercy seems to need more stretch as the session goes on. It's a pretty elastic bodily organ, even though it has symbolic powers.

LOL. I feel the same way. I might have to check one out though to see if I can find an extender.

You might shop better, have less chance of regretting your purchase, if you will visit a few Extender web sites.
In my signature, is a URL/ Article on some aspects of extender shopping.
Pay attention to the aspect of how does one adjust the extender.

Yea, I would definitely do some research as well to make sure I wasn't buying a piece of crap haha. Biggest reason I don't want to buy one offline is because I live at home and i don't need my parents seeing that box lol.

BTW, you were 4.5 inches and gained 2 inches in a year and a half? That is awesome.

Caution. While screwing the rods outof the X4, make sure the rods housing the spring are not unintentionally unscrewed. On several occasions while I was not paying attention I made this mistake and had to feel around the kitchen and bathroom floors while naked until I found the spring which shot out of it's housing.

The extender manufacturers are sensitive to this feeling and typically ship their products in a plain brown box with some innocuous return address on it. Of course, someone else could open it by mistake.

Valid point, and this is why I secure certain hardware points with Loktite (look it up). L/T is sold at auto parts stores, it is a soft epoxy stuff that adheres to threads. Go up to the counter clerk and explain that you need LokTite for your penis extender (kidding). If you ever want to unscrew it after sealing with L/T you will want to clean the thread bores out with a 4mm-.070 tap before using it again.

Nah, they actually arrive with the words PECKER GROWER on all sides of the box along with the amount you paid for it.

I guess maybe that is why my postman has been smirking at me ever since I received that heavy duty Static Stretcher?

Tell the nosy postman that static isn't cheap and you need to stretch it to make go as far as you can.

Thought I would drop my 2 cents worth here on the cheap extender. Mine was bought online from a sex toy store.The difference is the plasic bag its sealed in says novalty item (for legal sake). I find the screw type works fine,its more about the way you come up with to keep it on for more than an hour without re doing the clamping of you head.I can get replacement silicon tubing of that size soon.A one foot peice can be wrapped in such a way it will stay on for up to 3 hours comfortably. If there is an interest in the tubing I will buy bulk and send it to the members who need it....I like that line...LOL ! TAAB ps private message if interested ill check back ina few days.
