Pain - there should not be pain - but there is a definition between pain and discomfort. If you just have started with extender, it will take some time to get used to it, and some time to get to doing it the right way - for you. First, the extender has to be in the right length for your penis, to make it more comfortable to wear. Secondly, if your extender has those new «4000 gram springs», I would say that those are too hard, find softer springs to start out with. Either find softer springs online, from the maker of the extender, or on ebay, or simply go to a hardware store and find a box with many different small springs. I am sure that there will be springs around the same size, that are softer, and harder for that matter, in such a box. In the country that I live, a store chain sell such a kit of springs, and many of those fit my extender, and I have experimenting a bit. A cheap option. My extender is old and equipped with» 1500 grams springs»,
thats the way things were back then, before the competition between the makers to come out with the strongest extender started.
Go slow, take short sessions, if it hurts, then take a break, but never give up. How do you strap in ? A noose, or a wider «comfort strap» ? Do you use some soft cloth/ gauze/foam to wrap around your penis before you strap in ? Read my other answers in this thread to get more tips on the length of the extender. Good luck.
