I know I've gained girth but the measuring tape says different

I know what my dick feels like in my hand and I can tell that I’ve gained a slight amount of girth. However, the tape measure says different. Honestly, I don’t care what the tape measure reads. With that method, that are too many opportunities for human error, but I doubt the distance around the inside of my thumb and index finger has changed. That’s how I know. Anybody here with me on this?

Hmmmmmm sounds familiar. Dude! The inches on your measuring tape may be bigger than an inch making your dick measure smaller.

Read “WTF with this measuring tape!” I forgot what forum I put it in but I’ll bump it up for you.

Maybe it is still the same but more vascular making it look a lot bigger.

Maybe you grip your shaft in a slightly different (and thicker) part than where you measured it?

Hand shrinkage? Just kidding…Is it the same tape you have always used, and is it a sort of tape that might stretch out over time? Definatly check out the other recent post about errors in measuring devices. I previously used a cloth type tape (sewing tape or seamstress tape or whatever it is called). I quit using it eventually because I felt that with repeated use the material may stretch slightly giving inaccurate results.

The same thing happens to me, my dick feels girthier in my hand, but the measuring tape doesn’t always give me what I want to see. Girth is a tricky thing to measure consistently because it’s so highly dependent on erection level, placement of the tape along the shaft, and the low magnitude of the gains you’re trying to measure.

I find myself doing stupid things like measuring obessively (every day), not measuring at full 100% erection, etc. I think the best thing is to keep on PE’ing and measure a lot less often.

And as soon as you measure you lose some of your erection, I hate this to. Measure only once a month.
