How far to extend

This is probably around here somewhere, but I couldn’t search well enough to find it.

I’m wearing the AndroPenis Extender for the first time, I’m stretched out to 7”, however my BPFSL is 8”. Should I where it as is, or should I add more pieces to try and reach 8” in the extender?

Side note, it was hard to get it on at 7” so I’m not sure that I will be able to get it on if I add more pieces..

Hi Damianromante!

The entire length of the andropemis should be slightly longer than your BPFSL penis but, do what you can for now.
I don’t understand why you can not stretch your penis up to 8 “but, it could be better that way, to avoid injuries.
As your penis gets longer over time, you will add more pieces to adjust this again.
Try to use it between 4-8 hours a day. (+ days off)
I hope you understand well … I am a French Canadian.
Best of luck.

PS. Take a starting photo and a measure of your penis once a month. (max)

It took a lot of tweaking, of a similar traction extender,
and much practice before I could extend to my BPFSL.

On the flip side, I now have a vacuum extender from a company called Total Man, it is far easier to extend and use in a safe manner. (Be cautious to avoid blisters….)

Hi DJ,

Thanks for the tips. I understand and will start with 4-5 hours for the first week. Regarding my BPFSL, it could be the way that I am putting it on. With practice, I may get better at it.

So if I’m wearing it without exceeding my BPFSL, then I am in effect doing nothing correct? Isn’t the idea to stretch past my limit?

Not necessarily, it all depends on how you measure yourself. For instance, if you are pulling your penis by the head and stretching it out as you pull, it may measure different than if you pulled only behind the glans. If you tend to measure the latter way then it will measure a bit shorter for BPFSL and will be closer to how an extender pull from behind the glans.

Be well!

Good point.

My bone pressed flaccid is close to 6.75 inches, but my extender max is 10 inches. I walk around with it extended at just over 8 inches. I’ve had to experiment like hell with various wrapping techniques and modify my extender as the issue was never the stretch was too great but my cock would keep slipping.

I am struggling to understand why there is so much focus on length, whether stretching or setting. Length should be a secondary consideration.

The primary consideration is to reach the tension objective. Focusing on reaching a length objective could require a tension setting above the desired level. Or, if one’s penis is very stretchy, the length objective could be met but the tension could be less than the target.

You know, I’ve read posts that discuss the tension. But unless I missed it, the AndroPenis Extender doesn’t have a tension setting. There are only the pieces that you add or remove.

In full disclosure, I’ve only worn it twice and only one of those times was an actual “session”. I’ll read over the materials again just in case I missed it.

And I wasnt aware any extenders did not have a tension setting/measurement device. I am curious how the designers expect the users to have a consistent extender program if there is no way to measure the tension on the penis.

Are there lines on the bars that are immediately above the base?

This is it. The lines that you see are separators, where you unscrew the pieces. So each line marks another piece. I may not be describing it correctly.

Darn, no lines!

You can add your own by taking the extender to full compression, marking it with something like a permanent fine tip sharpie marker and then adding two more lines equally distanced to cut it into thirds. This will give you lines indicating 100%, 66%, and 33% tension.

Here is a good thread and one of the pics from it that show you the tension index lines.

I think I understand now. You’re referring to the sliding bars. No these don’t have markings. So I’m setting it by length and feel. The instructions read to use the Androrods, which are pre-set lengths, and extend out to 4 cm less than your erect length, which for me is 16cm. So I load up the rods that add up to 16cm.

But I agree with 32Quarters, flaccid length is not the same for everyone, so for a shower, 4 cm less than erect length may not be enough tension or “stretch”.
