Will one hour with extender work too?

As others have said, 60 mins is probably not worth the effort and you’re better off jelqing.

How come you cannot do more, due to pain or time constraint?

Btw if you can only do 15-20min sets you may be extending too much. I had the same issue, it hurts the ego but makes much sense to extend slightly less but be able to at least 30mins sets.

Thanks, I am trying your advice. I have two extenders, and I am using the gentler extender. It seems to allow for longer sets.

I got my for $40 on Amazon; brand is GMOWNW. It makes a difference and allows me to extend to a greater length than just using a normal heating pad. It’s the only thing I’ve bought that’s been expensive as everything I’m using is homemade with stuff from the hardware store.

The instructions I have seen for the extenders recommend 4-8 hours, but I can only do about one hour consistently. I usually do four stretches of about 15-20 minutes each and short breaks between. I probably spend two hours, but only one hour of that is in a stretched state. I use as much tension as possible without hurting too much.

I have been hoping that my shortened routine will work - just at a slower rate. Any opinions?

If you want better and faster results 15-30 minutes jelqing first is a must. Than 1 hour of traction to help space out the micro-rips that you have created so that your body starts to heal it. If you are doing just traction devices than 1 hour won’t do much but it’s a good start to build it up to 6-8 hours. Also, kegeling on and off helps while wearing device or doing jelqing.

If you are just focusing only on length of your penis or to straightening it out, than don’t do jelqing. Jelqing also increases girth a lot so keep that in mind.

Good luck with your growth, you got it!

As others have stated, use heat and a vacuum cup style extender. Treat it more like a hanging session where you constantly increase the tension every ten minutes or so. The vacuum cup will allow for higher tensions than the sled style. Then after your session, wear an anti-turtling sleeve to keep your flaccid at its max length for the rest of the day. You’ll be amazed how much longer you stretch with heat. After being stalled for a bit, I’ve added .25" BPEL in about 3 months using this technique. And I’m well beyond my newbie gains. I’ve also added .75" to my flaccid length in a year. I think the silicon sleeve has a lot to do with that.

I think the high tension extenders are only meant to be used to shorter durations of time. I’m not sure about all the brands but I’ve looked into the apex and total man extender and it seems like 1 hour in either of those would be more than sufficient. I ordered the apex to transition to that from manual stretching but haven’t received it yet.

I’m using NIR + what I would categorize as an "extreme" extender (DIY). Been at it for over a month and went from 7.06" to 7.25" BPEL and 7.06" to 7.5" BPFSL. I extend for 1 hour only per day, 5 days a week.

Personally, I never wear an extender for more than an hour at a time, because it is practically impossible to hang longer without cutting off blood circulation. If I wanted to hang longer, then I would have to specifically lower the tension, which then has no significant effect because the penis would not be stretched. But I completely agree with the others who say that warm-up and stretching exercises are very important before hanging. I wouldn’t do jelqing before hanging because it increases your volume a lot. At most, I would only use Jelqing before getting pumped, or when doing a manual only routine.

because it starts stinging or burning where the base pushes against my scrotum.

Thats why i love my totalman extender, the base is big enough so you can put it behind your scrotum so the extender doesn’t push against it. I have varicocele and used the jes extender before witch made my balls hurt if i wore it for 3-4+ hours.
