Recommendations

Looking to buy an extender/ads stretcher.

Details:
1) Peyronie’s disease - have it and would like to improve it, so one that has been studied to do so would be helpful
2) Do not want to stretch foreskin any further (already a problem), which may get in the way in the first place - something to consider
3) No privacy at home, cant really wear at work. Hoping to have something very concealed that I can wear about 4 hours a day at most
4) Willing to spend 100 USD maximum

Let me know which one you think I should get

Question, if combining pumping and extending, would you extend before or after pumping?

Wow nothing

Hey Alpha,

I haven’t gotten many responses on my extender posts either so I wanted to reply to yours. That being said, thunders is an awesome community though!

So I actually bought my extender a week ago; just got a generic one made by California Exotics. I paid $40 for it and it’s the first one I’ve owned. So it wasn’t expensive- few cons is it doesn’t have a measurement guide on the side like these other expensive ones do. It comes with one extender bar that you can add on for more length. It has a strap attachment and a noose attachment which I would recommend to you because I think it’s important to have both options to see which one works better for you.

I’m uncut so I also have the foreskin challenge. I’ve played around with different securing methods like pulling the foreskin back towards my base and wrapping under my glans with ace wrap or sports wrap so the foreskin can’t creep up and be pulled. So far I’ve logged 26 hours in a week.

So I’m going to see how this one works and maybe I’ll have to get an expensive one or maybe I won’t and this will work. I’d rather start with a reasonably priced one since it’s the same principal with the tension and traction pulling.

So definitely look for one with a strap and a noose. I can’t really recommend any particular one since this is my first but I can send you tips as you go along since we are both uncut. Let me know how it goes!

I personally have had no experience with extenders whatsoever.

I bought one from X4labs and I can’t stand how it pulls on my skin and makes my head Numb and cold. I’ve barely been able to wear it for a half an hour and it was $150 for the deluxe version. I think they have a cheaper version for 100. It’s well-made, it’s just going to take a lot of getting used to for me. I’m used to pain-free pumping.

Hi Alpha,

Tough cookie. If you say you have no privacy and can’t wear at work either : what’s left?
Regardless of the advice we’d give you, this looks like you’re going to blow a 100 bucks.
If you didn’t start with the newbie routine, maybe you should do that first. Wearing an extender aks for a lot of dedication. It works but only if you can book the hours. I own a JES and a Size genetics. Both are painful and hard to wear for an extended periode of time. I heard good things from lifestyle about the Penimaster Pro which has a vacuum type system of attachment, which seems to provide much better comfort. Don’t have the cash yet but seems interesting. These are all expensive extenders which doesn’t answer your question. Then there’s the auto extender.com page, which offers much better deals. It’s designed by a Thunder’s user and is well praised on the forum, especially the Vac Extender system. Its slightly above your budget but probably the best deal you can find. Again I would start by using manuals before investing in any kind of device. When you know you have enough dedication, why not invest in a good device? About pumping/extending, again, condition your unit first. What I do is usually extending first, then clamping (or pumping/jelqing) then back in the extender. It’s not a beginner’s routine. The only advantage of having an extender is it keeps your hands free and the consistency of the stretch. Good luck.

I’m sorry for not having replied Alpha. I have only used the X4 and have fully acclimated to using it; however, I have no experience for providing a recommendation given any of your identified specifications. One item of note, I only wear my extender at work and am currently averaging less than 3 hours per day.

Best wishes and hope you find an appropriate solution.

For discretion, not tugging on the foreskin and the peyronies issue you might want to check out the Phallosan Forte. I think it was originally developed for that anyway. I am currently using it during the day, although it can take some getting used to, its probably the most discrete extender. I wear it to the shops, to work, around the house and nobody has ever even seemed to notice. My advice is if you do wear this, tug it a little higher tan recommended; the tension will be the same but if someone sees the slight bulge on your waist you can always say you have a large phone or a wallet in your pocket. That’s my go-to excuse anyway that i have not yet had to use.

Although I have not yet had gains, there are some real scientific studies that show almost everyone who wore it in the trials did show gains. For me; it’s probably too soon to tell.

As for your question about pumping before or after, I use the Bathmate and pump before and after for 7.5 minutes at medium pressure.

Hope this helped,
