In 2002 I bought a PenisStretcher and then this last winter bought a JES. I have used both extensively and would like to share some of my experiences with you in the hope that it might keep some from having to reinvent the wheel. Here are some things that I’ve learned:
1) I have to pump at least a half hour in the morning in order to enlarge and firm the head. That solves the problem of the noose sliding off the head. It also seems to help with the problem of strangulation and for me, has been the key in making the extender work.
2) The limiting factor has always been that a sore will develop right on the top of the coronal ridge from the pressure of the noose. To mitigate that, I tape my long foreskin back using Hypafix tape (Hypafix Dressing Retention Sheet purchased from a med. supply store). This allows me to place the noose back (further down the shaft) of the coronal ridge and avoid the stress right there.
3) It is not possible to wear either device for 12 hrs a day or a regular basis no matter what the advertising says. Although I have gone 12 hours, it causes the pressure sore to develop, in spite of the tape. 5 to 6 hours is possible if I am careful. I usually settle for 4-5 hours a day, but I have to constantly monitor the condition of the skin right at the top of the coronal ridge.
4) At the first session in the morning, I usually wear it about 1 1/2 hours comfortably. I then take 30 t0 60 min breaks, followed by one hour sessions.
5) I wear it easily under my clothes at work. I work in an office setting, both sitting and walking around. Slacks need to be loose fitting. My stretched length in the extender is about 7 inches and that works fine. But those of you with a larger member, say 9 or 10 inches, could have a problem.
6) The difference between the PenisStretcher and the JES is the difference between night and day. The JES has much better engineering and gives a much better pull. The difference in price is well worth it to me. I bought the JES used and needed parts. The service response was excellent. Just last week I ordered a second JES because I am right on the line between two sizes, and sometimes have to add a bar. I emailed them and offered them $500 for a new one without the fancy box, but with the extra parts that come with it. They accepted as long as I sent a check or money order (which I did) and another JES is on the way. I can already hear the accusations. No, I don’t work for JES and I don’t sell anything. In fact I am a lurker, and have lurked for years, gleaning what I could from this board (and others). I have not wanted to expose myself to the normal criticisms that one finds here. So there it is. If it helps you great, and yes, I’ll be happy to answer questions. P.S. I have seen results, but nothing like what is advertised
