Extender question

Don’t worry. It hasn’t compressed yet because the extender isn’t a length you can’t handle yet. After you continually increase the extender with more rods, the extender will be long enough where your flaccid will naturally want to pull back causing the extender to compress. Forget about the screws for a couple of weeks.

It turns out this is right. I added a couple extra rods just to test it out, and it did start compressing as I went further out; however, I wonder if gains will come faster once I reach the point that compression starts occurring. I’ve had my extender for about a month now and have found gains of 1/8” in length and 1/16” in girth. What I find interesting this time around (it’s like my 4th time restarting PE…) is that my gains have been faster than it was before, but it could simply be a case of gaining back prior PE work too.

I recall that it took something like 2-3 months before I saw 1/16” of a gain in girth, and here with an extender it took only a month. I think in a sense I’m happier with my girth gain than my length gain even if it’s smaller. I always felt that 4.5” is pretty close to a pencil dick.

So after a month would you also recommend this extender and take back you initial disappointment?

As it stands so far, I am pleased with the extender. I wouldn’t say so much that I was disappointed, but rather the instructions that came with it wasn’t that great. It came with a CD, but my cd reader doesn’t work, so i can’t say if the CD has more info or not.

Extenders work only if you remain dedicated and put in the time and use it under proper tension. I keep mine at about 900 gr. (point at which I am just starting to feel slight discomfort) and I use it 5 - 6 hours a day six days a week. After 9 months, my EL is up about 1/2 inch. My girth is up close to 1/2 inch; however, I combine extending with pumping. Now that I added a comfortable VacExtender modification kit to my X4, I believe I can gain my next 1/2 inch in about 6 more months. Rule of thumb is you gain 1/2 inch every 1000 - 1200 hours.

Do you think your pumping had more to do with your gains? Also do you think you would have gained if you just used the extender?

It is probably a combination of both. If I’m recalling correctly here, that every PE method helps with gains in length and girth; however, there are PE methods that tend to favor gains in a certain area over the other.

For example, pumping will “pull” your penis out and make it look longer, but that effect is only temporarily and lasts a while after a pumping session. Pumping mostly helps with gains in girth than length from what I remember. It still helps with length though. Extenders are the opposite. They mostly help with gains in length, but there are gains in girth. I think with using the combination of both is how he was able to keep his length and girth gains almost identical. There is no doubt about gaining with an extender since there is scientific backing to it.

I can’t answer to dtwarren1942’s question about pumping though. Anyways, I’ve noticed that I gained another 1/16” on my length, so I’m just under 7” BPEL now. I’m thinking of adding Jelging back to my routine. I’m not gonna go crazy with it. Probably just keep it to 10 minutes permanently.

I know you’re getting an extender from prior posts, but don’t feel like you have to do every PE method at once. Just start out with the extender. During my early days here back whatever years ago, I remember the general consensus was that everyone should work on length gains first and girth gains last. The idea is that gaining girth first actually makes gaining length later an even slower process.

But can I expect the same or better results with just extending. I don’t have enough time in a day to pump and extend. Hoping that 5 to 7 hours a day 6 days a week for about 6 months would give me .5 to .6 gains with a extender. Really don’t care about girth. It’s just so many factors that play into extenders I don’t know what to do or to start. On one good things about this is that I’m leading toward a extender finally.

I actually still use the rods I made for myself in 2011, subject of the report linked above. If you take care of them they will last for years. The threaded section is the weakest part but you can treat them with a little care and keep them in a Tupperware container (with the extender) for protection. Rubbermaid sells a 10” cutlery container that is perfect for extender storage - little do they know why so many men buy them.
