I just had a revelation of sorts!

In the past when I have measured myself, it was usually NBP. I would usually hit 6.25 inches or 6.5 on a good day. Now I have measured BP before and on those occasions, I measured 7 inches. On the times I have measured with a tape measure so that it would follow the curve, I measured 6.5 NBP pretty easily. This got me to thinking about what it would be if I did a BP measurement with a tape measure to follow the curve. I haven’t actually done this, but based on the results with the ruler, it ought to be 7.25-7.5! If it is true that the fat pad compresses pretty easily, then I already have little to worry about in the length department. I feel a lot better now!

Always straighten out your curve when you measure as it is your true length.

I seem to get a better measurement when I use a tape measure. I have a downward curve, so I usually forget to straighten it out. That’s why the tape measure works better for me I just let lie there. :) Haha! I even measured the tape measure with the ruler, and it was the same. So yeah always straighten your curve, dude. :)

It seems that if you can not full straighten out your erection to get a measurement then it seems tape measurement would deliver a more accurate measurement.

Yes, yes, yes! It also helps that if you’re going to measure to lay off on beatin’ ya meat for a day at least, matey. Arr!

Tape measures are awesome, but I find it hard to jam it into the fat pad. It is hard to get a hold of that little bit of metal at the bottom and push it down without bending the tape measure at the bottom a bit, giving an extra .1 of an inch or so.

Any one else find this/ have a solution?

More important than to use a gratifying method is to use a consistent one.
