Hanging Or Extender- Which Provides Fastest Length Gains

I’ve been using the Phallosan Forte for almost 6 months and have gained a half inch in BPEL. I also have an X4 Extender from a couple years ago, and have been thinking of adding that to my routine.

If you compare an Extender (like an X4) to Hanging, which do you think provides the fastest length gains?

I want to add that I know PE takes a long time, and if you are serious about gaining, you need to be in it for several years. I have the patience and dedication to carry it through, so I’m not looking to gain another inch in just a few months. I’m just wondering, over the next 1 to 2 years, would you gain faster with hanging or with an Extender? Thanks!

Hi WaWhat,

I can’t say what is best for my own experience, but I read something interesting about body getting used to training. I read that it’s better to increase intensity very slowly, if you start with too much intensity, you will quickly find a plateau, stooping gains sooner.

As I said, I don’t know it by my own experience, but it makes sense to me.

I want to ask you something. How was your experience with phallosan? Whats your routine?

Thanks

Hey Rush,

I have read that as well and it definitely makes sense to stay at a lower weight as long as possible. I’ll keep that in mind though when I do start hanging ;)

I have actually really enjoyed the Phallosan. I know some people don’t like it, but its use has been pretty straight forward and I gained a half inch in approximately 3-4 months just having it strapped to my penis, hehe. I haven’t had any problems with a raised white spot that remains, but I’ve heard that some people have had this problem with any kind of Vac system. I definitely want to keep on the lookout for it.

The silicon sleeves are of course a pain because of price- they cost €20 a pop but that seems to be pretty standard across different PE devices.

My biggest critique would be of the Phallosan Forte Plus. It is basically an Extender that you can wear at night, however because I have a girthy base (6 in), I have woken up several times with a hard on and in pain because my dick was too thick for the base of the Phallosan Forte, and getting choked. If you aren’t too girthy it shouldn’t be a problem, but for some men, they should rethink their design for more comfort, because I basically paid €80 extra and can’t even use it.

What is your routine?

I suffer from ED caused by porn addiction, so I’m delaying PE until I got fully recovered. I’m afraid of not paying attention to PIs such as morning woods.

Because the damages caused by the abuse of masturbation (at the mechanism between brain and erection control), I certainly will avoid jelqs, so I think my routine will be based on stretches, extenders and pumps.

I was thinking in PF+, but it’s good to know that it will choke my penis if it gets erect before buying it. I may consider different options.

Anyway, for now I’m using the recovery time to study PE.

Has your progress with PF stooped?

Half inch in 4-6 months time are pretty good gains, it could mount up to an inch in a year and two in two if your lucky 👍

I gained 1/4” after three months of hanging and about 3/4” after 4 years of light extending (3-4 hours a day)

I’ve also cut wayyy back on watching porn, and it does help your libido, as well as not masturbating as much. When did you stop watching, and have your erections been getting better? A Psychologist I know says that you have to believe that your body will heal, and this belief will help speed the recovery process. Don’t worry, your erections will come back. A lot of it is also in our minds as well.

If you have a bit of money to spend, I think the PF is good for at least a half an inch. I will wear it for longer than the 6 months, and hoping to gain more that way. You can wear PF for at least a year and probably gain, but I’m only at the 6 month mark right now, so I don’t think my progress has stopped, probably just slowed down. Most gains with extenders come relatively fast in the beginning, and as time goes on, you gain less and less. That’s another reason I’m looking into hanging to try and accelerate growth as well.

I can certainly recommend PF to you, but not the PF+ if you have a large girth, which it seems you have. I also had a jelqing injury over two years ago that still causes me a bit of pain from time to time, so I would be very careful with jelqing.. Like you said, you could stick to extenders and pumping instead.

Hi DT, it sounds like to me though that 3-4 hours a day isn’t really light extending? I mean, if I tried that with my X4, I would have to spend so much time in my apartment just to get the time in for all the hours :x

Hi Norwegian Wood,

I’m also hoping to keep gaining with Phallosan after the 6 month mark, but we’ll see what happens :D

I never got gains from using an extender, possibly because I used too much force and because I find extenders difficult to use comfortably over long periods of time. At full force for 30 minutes, my penis is temporarily longer, but then shrinks in length significantly for several days.

Did you stop hanging?

How many hours have you logged in the 6 months leading to your gain? Also, is there a way to select or gauge the tension while using the PF (other than “feel”)!

Congrats on the gains! Keep it up 👍

Thank you! ;) The PF has a traffic light system that tells you how much tension is being applied to the penis. If you google ‘Phallosan Forte Traffic Light System’ and click on Images, you’ll get a better understanding. If you look at the image, you’ll see that you have to guesstimate how much tension is actually being applied to your penis based on the color coding, which is the total opposite with hanging where you know exactly how much tension is being used on your unit. I guess that is one drawback to the Phallosan Forte. I made my gains in the low green range, so approximately a week ago, I’ve increased the tension a good bit and will hopefully continue to gain.

The Phallosan Forte Plus is more like a traditional extender, but my base girth is too big, and it’s painful when I wake up with an erection in the morning. The PF+ also has no traffic light system, so you have no idea at all what tension you’re applying, another design flaw.

As far as the number of hours, I have them all written down, just need to add them up and will report back!

I just checked it out and that is an interesting design! It’s good to read something positive on the PF as well! The product looks so easily concealable that it’s hard not to be interested in it.

MrEasyPeasy- I flipped back through my logs, and have accumulated 1,574 hours over a 6 month time span, including today. All of that time equaled a 0.5 inch in growth for erect length. I still need to measure my MEG. I will continue to wear the PF for the next 6 months to see if I can get any more growth. I don’t expect unfortunately to get another 0.5 inch, but even 0.25 inches in 6 months would be great. It would be great to know if there are any PF users who have used it for several years?

I have the problem, just like many other people, that my schedule is so busy, it’s hard for me to find consecutive long chunks of time throughout the week that I can dedicate to PE at home. I’m trying to figure out a way around this, because I still want to grow, but since I can’t do home office, it’s difficult. By the time you factor in working, going to the gym, cooking, etc, there’s almost no time left. Or do you know a secret? Hehe

I actually went and saw the doctor in Frankfurt who was responsible for doing the PF study, Dr. Michael Sohn. I went actually to see him due to a jelqing injury that I had sustained at the end of 2017, and while I was there, I asked about the PF. He actually kind of waved away the question, and in his opinion, the PF is mainly for people with a micro penis, not for someone who falls in the range of “normal”. The way he talked, it seemed like he didn’t think it would be worth it because of the amount of time you have to put into using the PF, but he’s obviously never heard of Thunders, lol. He rushed me out of his office pretty quickly too, which was kind of disconcerting since I’d made quite a long trip, but he had a ton of patients to see, and was quite impatient himself, and didn’t seem very interested in PE, despite the fact that he’d done the study. You can even find a YouTube video of him endorsing the product, but like I said, I think his main thoughts were that the PF should treat micro penis, and people who have recently had prostate surgery.

Anyway, all of that to say that it has worked for me, and hopefully I will continue to gain more with the PF, but who knows, we’ll see. I’ll make a progress log soon with pictures!
