Penis extender and blood circulation

I haven started using a strap extender with foam support above the head ( a cheap one btw), I been using for 13 days by now, 2 hours per day since I started. I also added a moisturizer cream to avoid the skin burning, as I’m uncut. I’m wondering how far ( hours per day ) I could use the extender and be safe, because I have noticed since the start, that the glans and skin get very cold, despite the fact that I don’t tie it so tight it becomes purple ( the color just gets slight darker but not that ugly purple at all). I’m feeling no pain at all, its all ok but my concern is : how should I proceed to increase the number of hours? Should I use it for 1-2 hours, take a break, then put on again, or is it safe to keep using up to 4-6 with a bit lower tension since there is no pain and despite the fact the glans is cold? If I try to do that, is it risky? Should I warm it up with a hot stuff while using the extender? Thanks.

Hi Mlt 13!

Every 30 minutes take off your extender and do a little massage for 1-2 minutes and I put it back.

“Should I warm it up with a hot stuff while using the extender? “

Yes, warm up 10 minutes just before and also use heat while using it is a good idea too.

Best of luck,

Definitely take a break every 30 minutes to 2 hours with the noise type extenders. Work your way up to two hours but always check at least every 15 minutes or so and be aware of how you feel. Taking gaba can help reduce the burning sensation, but do t mess up the dose or over use it because it will slow your brain down to. Tylenol might help also. And lots of water.

There is a difference in how many minutes your penis can go without fresh supply of blood - different parts of the penis. Your skin ( foreskin) need to get fresh supply every 15 minutes to avoid any damage. The glans - which are made of different kind of cells, can do fine with little supply for a couple of hours. But you can try to have the extender at a length, so that your glans almost are in the front of the extender. In that way, the noose will be pulling downwards to keep your penis in place, and it will be the extender that do most of the forward pull. In that way, you are able to have the noose not so tight, and you may be able to jelq and kegel some fresh blood into the head every 15-20 minutes without taking the extender off. ( I do it that way, and can easily do 2 hour sessions). You can also pull back your foreskin, and wrap around some gauze or soft cloth behind your glans, before you strap in. It takes much more time to get used to, compared to having the foreskin covering the glans, due to your higher sensibility than us circumsized guys. Good luck.

Probably I would not even be able to use the extender if was cut, because my penis is 8-10 cm flaccid and I need to pull the foreskin so it can get tied on the strap and then I can start stretching it. And about the sensitivity, yes is its alot. I wonder about the effectiveness of pulling with foreskin or straight to the body of penis, for this situation I would need to find a shorter extender to start with.

I use a strap and foam.

To be able to speak objectively about how long the glans can go under restriction, we all need to be able to quantify the level of restriction, which is difficult to do.

Tension is a bit more measurable with extenders. The higher the tension the shorter the sets tend to be because “typically” this will require more strap compression, equating to greater restriction. Lower tension levels will allow one to achieve longer sets before requiring a break. With experience, one learns to adjust their strap compression to the lowest required per the tension being applied.

Personally, at this time, I run my tension at about 66% and can go an average of an hour or a bit more during my sets. However, my experience has told me that if I go longer on one set, my next several sets will typically beg for a shorter duration as my glans need recirculating.

The impact of restriction to circulation, even with breaks, is cumulative.

It’s also a game of the variables, such as:

Higher tension, long set, longer break. Lower tension, shorter sets, shorter breaks. Change one of those variables, for example, higher tension, shorter set, then shorter break. Or lower tension, longer set, then longer break.

2-3 minute breaks do not work for me under medium to higher tension levels. I typically require a minimum of 10-15 minutes between sets or it becomes very difficult for me to achieve even thirty minutes on my next set.

As others have mentioned. I would play it safe and go for recirculating every 45-60 minutes.

Extender life is a grind. Those who stay in the game tend to find their rhythm.

Find a shorter extender ? I think they are very similar length, and that it is possible to use an extender on a penis that are 3 inches long ( 7,5 cm). Use it for shorter time, short breaks and many sets per day, together with a stretching routine, and your penis will gain what are called «neewbie gains» during the first 3-12 months. After that, more gains will come, but they take a little more time to achieve. Another tip is to use a rise sock, ( rice filled in a sock which you warm in a micro for 4-5 minutes) and warm your penis while in the extender during the sets. That will help speed up the gaining. The warmth will make the penis softer and more pliable to extention. Your will notice gain in the flaccid state first, and that is a sign of erected gains to come. How much is impossible to say as every man and his penis are different.

I’ve used mine for up to 14 hours a day and for over 3 hours at a time. Yes at times the end went purple and icy cold, but the old chap still seems to be in one piece.

I ended up using a silicone sleeve instead of the foam rollers that came with my Quick Extender Pro to make wearing my extender more comfortable and prevent cutting of the blood circulation to my glans. I can wear my QEP comfortably for up to 2 hours at a time WITHOUT cutting off the blood circulation.

Cunny, dick pics are not allowed in public forums. An option is for you to post it in a thread in the members section and link to it here. Or use a substitute dick in your extender.

Why not change to vacuum extenders? Can wear them 1-2hours at a time. They are pretty cheap from aliexpress. I’m uncut and that noose extender was satan for me.

Sorry about that! I have attached an appropriate pic.
