Difference between lying down and standing up

The penis measure threads says you can measure your penis in lying down or standing up position. But I get different results for lenght every time. Should you stand up, sit or lying down for penis measure?

The most important aspect of measuring is to be consistent. Whichever method you choose, stay with that method. Use the same ruler, same body position and same amount of pressure for bone pressed every time you measure.

Body position is also important. Keeping your body as straight as possible, whether standing or lying down, will yield a more accurate result. Even a slight bend will pull the penis inward and reduce the measured length. If it is difficult to view the ruler while measuring standing up without bending over, you could stand close to a mirror to view the ruler in the mirror.

What about means of measure? Would measuring lenght with a tape measure cause false results?

A tape measure cannot accurately measure bone pressed. If you do not have a ruler, you can use a flat piece of wood, plastic or similar. Mark your length on it and then measure it with the tape measure.

Note also that many rulers do not start their measurement at the edge of the ruler. The zero mark can be 3-4 mm from the edge. If you have one of those, make sure to measure that space and add it back to the measurement from the ruler to get the most accurate BPEL.

I have steel ruler that starts with zero. I can measure with it. But sometimes I feel a bit wrong especially with NBPEL. So I want to use tape measure for NBPEL. Can it give realistic results? Last one, I don’t know why is it happening but I my EQ deacreases when I stand up so there is at least 1 cm difference between lying down and standing up. I’m trying improve EQ. Should I accept results from standing up or lying down?

Pick a method and stick with it.

If your penis has a curve which you cannot straighten by hand, then using a tape measure is the best choice. When using a tape measure, string, strip of paper or other non rigid measuring implement, you need to take care and keep the tape straight out across the glans as if it was a rigid instrument. If you let the tape drape down the slope of the glans it will yield a longer reading.

Remember:
BPEL = FP + NBPEL
where FP is fat pad thickness

So if you know your FP then measuring NBPEL with a non rigid tool will still give you BPEL.

I understood. Thank you
