Should penis extenders have springs?

I lost a part out of my penis extender after only a week of experimentation, so I am thinking of buying a new one.

Intuitively, the springs seem like a good idea, but a lot of extenders don’t have springs.

I liked the springs on my extenders, because I could exercise my pelvic floor muscles by using them to pull against the springs’ resistance.

What do people here think about the springs?

My original extender from LeLuv has springs, I lost a part out of it after only a week of use (ugh), and now it seems to be discontinued.

The current LeLuv extenders don’t have springs, and their advertisement claims:
“Most Penis Extenders in the market are Spring-loaded Style. Before you put the Extender on, you have to pre-configure the tension using the fixed length bars which makes configuring and adjustment much more inconvenient. With the NEW LeLuv® SLIDER, you will be able to adjust the adjustable Tension nuts up and down while you are wearing it which makes for easy and very convenient adjustments.”

Any opinions? I personally think the springs would help to maintain a more constant tension as the length of the penis varies from walking, sitting, and so on. The springless extender would probably have sudden increases and decreases in the tension, because there is no give in the device.

I like LeLuv as a vendor, and their prices are within my budget. I just don’t know about the spring issue.

I just bought a set of springs from Lowe’s and use them. Works perfectly.

Thanks, maybe I will try that too. I didn’t know that Lowes would carry such tiny springs.

I agree that it is better to have springs.

Seems like that is the concensus. These extenders are more complicated than I realized. They seem so simple conceptually until you try to use one LOL.

Has anyone found a place where you can buy lower tension springs that fit a standard extender? I’m looking for springs with 1000 gram tension.

In a different thread thoughtfulgold indicated he gained using lower tension springs. Apparently 1000 gram springs per his post. He also explained that most springs in the extenders currently on the market now start at 3000 grams. I would like to try extending using lower tension springs. I have done some google searches but haven’t found anything yet.

I saw some assortments of tiny springs on Amazon, but who knows if a particular assortment has a spring of the right size and springiness. Also, I have a feeling that each brand of extender has different spring diameters.

The good thing about springs is that they will normally tell you what force you are applying.

Without springs you are kind of in the dark.

McMaster-Carr’s web site will let you pick springs in almost any length, diameter, and stiffness you want. I bought new springs for my Size Doctor extender there.

Their part prices are okay, but their shipping charges are stout. If you decide to order from them, you might want to pick up a few extra sets, weaker and stiffer, just so you don’t get hit with the shipping later if you decide you want to try some. The cost of the springs is negligible compared to shipping.
