Measuring girth

Where exactly do I put the tape in order to effectively measure girth?

Some say Mid-shaft. Some say at the base. Still others say at the widest point. What matters is that you measure in the same place consistently. Measuring at the base will make that easier in my opinion.

As long as you measure the same point every time, it doesn’t really matter. I find it difficult to measure the base, which happens to be the thickest, but I never feel I get a reliable result because it’s too fiddly. So I measure midshaft which is only 0.15 less than my base.

Just to keep a track of your progress, it is probably best to measure your girth both at the base and at mid-shaft. If you are measuring your girth to buy a pump cylinder, measure it at the base.

Girth is so easy and quick to measure, why not take a few measurements? There does not need to be one (unless you are trying to compare to people on the forum, in which case you can just specify if you mean MSEG or base).

For me, I need to take several, because my girth is usually biggest at the base with a big drop off to mid-shaft and more drop-off to near the head. It’s interesting if you do this because you can see how certain girth exercises will boost certain parts of your dick’s girth and not affect others at all. My upper shaft went from 4.875 to 5.2 just with jelqing and squeezing, while the base stayed at 6 without budging the whole time.

I usually measure mid shaft as it is the girthiest part other than my penis head and I do this consistently. Personally I think you can pretty much measure anywhere to please just as long as you consistently measure it.

I measure around the circumcision scar.

Where ever you’re thickest at.
