Do you let your flaccid hang when measuring it?

I’ve noticed that if I measure my NBPFL as it hangs, it’s (on average) about 5.25”… not stretched, of course. However, if I lift and hold it horizontal to measure it, it loses about 0.5” and becomes 4.75” NBPFL. So, how is it conventionally done?

It doesn’t really matter in the context of measuring to track gains. So, whatever way you do it, just do it the same way, every time.

I use a ruler for this measurement, so the latter method you mention works better for me, but if using a flexible measuring device, the former method may work better. The main thing is finding a repeatable method with less potential for operator alteration, and just doing exactly the same thing in exactly the same way, every time.

I always used a flexible tape and measure while hanging.

Apparently, I combine the two methods mentioned. I measure with a ruler while hanging.

I marked 1/4 ” increments on a chop stick , and measure from my pubic bone .

And , yes , use the same place every time .

dooks out !!!

The best way is to get on all fours and let it hang straight down on it’s own weight. You can then get a true measurement.
