HJ,
Thanks for the encouraging words.
Ref the PeniMaster, the inner diameter at the base is 1.7 inches, which is
a bit smaller than the eliptical opening in the base of the Andro and/or Jes Extender units which measure 1.7 inches Diam on the minor axis and 2.0 inches on the major axis of the ellipse. Depending on your flacid size and the amount of extra skin that engorges, the 1.7 inch opening on the PM could be a problem. When you wear an extender, so as to keep the skin stretch from burning, one pulls a little scrotal skin forward through the base ring. The design of the elliptical opening in the Jes unit makes this easier to do and easier to take the stretcher on/off based on my experience.
Actually, despite slight constriction at the base, I like the PeniMaster over the Andro/Jes units for these reasons:
1) Easier to read bar tension (+);
2) Less tendency for the parts to unscrew (+);
3) Uses strap instead of dangerous and irritating noose (+);
4) Much less expensive (say about half).
That said, I came up with my own strapping mechanism for the PeniMaster that, for me, beats the heck out of their rubber strap (2 other members are using it, too).
Now, in your case, if it turned out that the PeniMaster base was potentially too constrictive, you could go with the Jes Extender unit but substitute the head piece of a PeniMaster onto it cuz guess what? - the headpieces of the two suppliers are interchangeable (copycat designs). Any of us on the forum that own PM’s should be able to get you a PeniMaster headpiece and straps or, if you had the headpiece, you could make up your own strap along the design lines I came up with to get added comfort.
Bottom Line - it depends on your flacid size and how much you “puff up” under tension. I puff up quite a bit and, because of the engorgement, the traction device affects girth as well as length over time.
Hope this helps more than it confuses.
All the Best,
MrTiPS
