If you are maxed out as suggested surely you just increase the length of the overall extender by adding more tension bars so that it just provides a longer length. As you penis increases in length you keep adding tension bars to match your total length?
As I mentioned before, I am a grower, therefore what you are suggesting above does not work for me. And, honestly, it is my one disappointment with PE…even though I have increased my BPEL by almost 2”, I have not had any significant increase in my flaccid length. For me, there is a significant difference (about 1” / 25mm) between my initial flaccid streched length (how far I could manually stretch my penis before any extending) and my maximum flaccid streched length (the point at which my penis will no longer stretch after being under tension for a period of time). I would compare it to stretching before excercising or playing sports…it takes a little time to fully stretch out your muscles/ligaments. This was one of my major issues when I first started using my QEP. Now I suppose I could spend 30+ minutes doing manual stretching…but I’m too lazy to do that. ;-)
Cunny I don’t doubt you here and appreciate what you are saying. You have obviously used the device longer than me so have more knowledge of it. However, there is absolutely NO way I am going to use this device whilst these springs are not fully released. The device is ‘well-made’ to a fashion, however its hardly a piece of quality Swiss or German engineering. I’ve used the device for a few months and already the springs seem quite weak. When you press the device in to ‘fit’ to the device it doesn’t always compress evenly. The tension bars arn’t the best quality. I mean as far as extenders go its ok, but theres no way I’m trusting my dick with compressed/tensioned springs that could could break and shock open at any point on my penis. Absolutely no way. I have read other threads on here where people have changed/replaced the springs. They have a history of breaking or at least getting worn out.
OK, I understand what you are saying now, BUT (and I don’t mean this in a condecending way), you are wrong. There is no way for the QEP to ‘shock’ open, I have completely disassembled my QEP to understand exactly how it works, and what you are saying is mechanically impossible for the QEP. The springs only create tension when they are compressed, if the springs were to break they would be incapable of being compressed and would, in fact, do the exact opposite of what you are saying.
1000hours in 2 years is approx 1.5 hours a day. If you have honestly added 2inches during this to your BPEL then thats an amazing result. Did you add any MEG as well?
Keep in mind that I do not extened every day and I have also taken a couple of extended breaks. For the first two months I did just over 200 hours of extending, but for the remainder of the year I averaged about 46 hours a month.
I’m using this from anything between 2 to 6 hours a day, 5/6 days a week. I am not sure if you are doing this but I find the head of my penis (where you get locked in) gets quite cold (a sign of decreased blood flow I guess) and I reset every hour. During this time I like to just stretch the penis a bit and get semi-erect, to get some blood back into it. I then way to go back to a flacid state and lock back in again. The hardest thing about the device is changing between standing and sitting positions. It can come off which requires getting strapped in again. I also find it very difficult to ‘strap’ into the device in a sitting position. Can you manage that?
My biggest problem with the QEP was the extreme irritation to my corona. My solution for that was to use a silicone sleeve instead of the foam (dis)comfort pads. Another benefit to the silicone sleeve is that it allowed my to be securely strapped into the glans support BUT it did not cut off the blood flow to my glans. I was able to wear my QEP for 2 hours without my glans getting cold/numb. I imagine trying to get strapped in while sitting would be very difficult because when you sit, your penis is actually pulled into your body a bit. I always get strapped into my QEP while standing.
I also have a mini USB power bank and an IR heating pad and if you can wear this device with no one around, I would 100% consider using IR heat with it. The stretch seems much better, the penis seems to recover better and research suggests it would be better for cell activity. However I wear mind when a small number of people are around (office) so its not been practical for me right now to do so.
Where did you get the heating pad from?
