JES Extender help?

Hi, I bought a cheap replica of the JES extender from ebay, exact same parts as the original. My intention is to use it for several hours each day as not so long ago, I saw a post of a user (can’t remember who; sorry) that went from around 6” to 8-9” in 4-5 months (please don’t quote me on the figures as I can’t remember specifically). I’m very new to PE, have started 2-3 weeks ago with manual exercises (newbie routine) and thought I’d incorporate an extender while I work. My starting (current) measurements are as follows:

NBPEL: 6.75”
BPEL: 7”
MSEG: 5.75”

BPFL: 5.25
MSFG: 4.75”

My issue is with the noose attachment that should go behind (around) the glans, it is extremely uncomfortable and painful as it must be squeezed very tight otherwise it slips off. Even when doing so, the extender does not go down the first resistance extension which is only 600g. I have even tried putting some cloth inbetween the noose and the penis to reduce the pain but to no avail. Additionally, the base girth of the extender feels like an O ring, giving me slight engorgement which keeps my penis in a semi erect state, and has even led to multiple erections as I try to fit the noose on (even afterwards with the noose tightened, getting a random erection is very painful and I must release the noose’s tension to reset). Has anyone with a JES extender encountered the problems mentioned above? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When you start out, 600 grams of tension is quite enough. When you are strapping yourself in, try to jelq some blood into the glans to make it bigger, before you tightening the noose. The pain is something you will have to get used to, in a way, it will get better after time. Erections - I have been using extender for many years, and I still get erect everytime I strap in - everytime. But it goes fast away, as you learn your penis the difference between play and work. Most guys get beginners gains during the first months or year. The numbers you are mentioning, are probably the length of a guys flaccid stretch length, and flaccid stretch length is an indication of possibilities of erect gains in the future. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you for the reply and advice, @norwegian wood, the extender came with a comfort strap which I have resorted to using instead of the noose. I also apply cloth between the strap and the glans, but still, quite painful; I will just have to get used to this over time it seems. I will post updates with the progress in a month or two.

Ah yes, and just for reference, I have found the post I was referring to: My gains (start 1-1-2007)
