How To Find Average Girth Measurement

So I measured my girth today and was pleasantly surprised to see I’m (possibly?) at 5.2” EG. I did seem thicker but at the same time I’m afraid I’m off with my measurement. I was using a string and then measuring that. I used to have a tailors measuring tape which was perfect but can’t find it.

So I stimulated myself to get as hard as I could and measured but of course there’s always fluctuation with hardness even minute to minute. So how can I be sure that I’m measuring at the right time to get my true measurement?

I was honestly expecting that my girth would be under 5” because I’ve been extending for a week for the first time and have been up and down and inconsistent since January with jelqing and occasional clamping. When I started PE last April (April to September and then breakers until January of this year) I started at like 4.5” eg so if this 5.2” measurement is correct then I’m thrilled! Last time I measured was back in October and I was 5” and thought I would’ve lost gains. So here’s hoping!

Don’t over think it. Measure and accept what it is.

Consistency in measuring is the key. Your mind can play games with you when measuring, that’s why you should always take good starting measurements.

But, in taking everything into account, that’s a 0.7” gain… and even if you are 0.1” out (whose to say if it’s + or - ) because of your change in measuring technique, those are some bloody awesome gains.

Congratulations :)

I’m curious about where most guys measure girth. I would think mid-point (i.e., as in measuring a bicep). But I just read a forum post about measuring at the base, which is a thicker region.

Thanks Skygod!
That’s why I’m almost doubting my measurements because a 0.7” gain is quite a bit!
Although I will say at times my girth almost seems to be at the original girth from when I started. Basically I do a finger test when I’m not taking actual measurements as a guide of my girth. So I’ll take my thimb and pointer finger and wrap them around my dick and see where my pointer finger comes to on my thumb. Obviously as your dick grows in girth your index finger will move more and more towards the tip of your thumb and for the lucky guys with huge girth, your fingers won’t even touch and they’ll be a gap because your cock is so big.
So at times my index finger will reach like right below where the nail of my thumb starts and when I’m really strong with an EQ, like today, my finger meets my thumb higher up about 1/4” away from the end of my thumb.

So I can tend to doubt my gains because some days my girth is smaller with my finger test. Perhaps because of my PE work it fluctuates even more. But hey, I’ll take days like this when I feel girthier and the ruler seems to show that!

I’m possibly rethinking maybe I’m a decent gainer? I always assumed I would be a hard gainer because I’m naturally a smaller framed guy and starting with a 4.5” girth it seemed like that would be very hard to change. But I’m definitely shooting for an end of the year goal of 7.5”x5.5. Perhaps that’s a bit too lofty? Currently 7&2/16” and like I said 5&2/16”

I think the standard way of measuring girth, the one most people refer to, is mid shaft., MEG.

Same as BPEL for length.

I saw the other day, a new study on the internet or something, where they asked people to take the largest girth measurement, and the smallest, then average it, and post that as the measurement. (excluding the glans). :)

Hmmm that’s pretty interesting…

Maybe we should try that largest and smallest measurement to see just for shits and giggles
