Slippage When Extending Past BPEL

For the past few days, I have been dealing with constant slippage when stretching past my BPEL with my X4 Extender. I’ve tried pairing the comfort strap with a silicone tube or two comfort straps together or two tubes together the end result is always slippage. Now my BPEL is 8 and as I try to move over it or even near it, my head either gets caught and pinching occurs or it just slips out altogether from the top tube or strap.

Has anyone had any success in securing themselves so they can go past their BPEL? If so how? Just FYI I have no problem stretching 1/4 past my EL what-so-ever. I can stay hours past it. But the moment I try to go over it or near it. Slippage occurs.

Honestly, I don’t know what to do hear and I don’t want frustration to get to me that I quit and give up.

Apologies for anyone who may have gotten confused with what I wrote in the second paragraph. I am currently in the middle of work and haven’t had the proper time to write it out correctly.

In order for me to stretch past my BPEL I have to add an extension bar to the extender. So going and adding the extension bar caused me to slip out. I have slowly begun to stretch 1/4 past my EL so that I can closely move in on adding the next extension bar. However. My mind is running a mile a minute and frustration has been occurring. Due to many posts on this forum and me being stuck with the mindset that I am either setting myself up to fail or possibly hurting myself by possibly losing erection quality.

As I said, I apologize for the not so clear start to the thread above as well as the misspelled words. This has been stressful and I don’t want to mess up. Thank you for understanding.

I am not sure that I fully understand what your problem is, but I’ll share a personal experience that I think may help.

First off, I don’t set my extender by length. I monitor length, but that’s all. I set it to tension, and I do so by adjusting the extension rods first and the knurled nuts secondly. You have less adjustment with the knurled nuts as they also hold the rods into the base and you can un screw enough that they come apart.

When my length is such that I cannot achieve my tension setting I add in an extender section, strap in, and then adjust the rods until I reach the tension setting.

My dick is very stretchy and I have been in the situation where after about a half hour in the extender my dick has stretched out and is no longer in tension and the adjustments are maxed out. I must then unstrap, screw in the adjusting rods to the lowest setting, add a new section of rod, strap in, set the tension by screwing out the adjusting rods and continue with my program.

It is a little inconvenient but was necessary.

Warming up my dick and doing some stretching before extending can help in that situation, but I wasn’t always able to do so.

32quarters I do exactly as you do. However, what I’m dealing with is slipping of the head when stretched completely out. My head basically loses its grip being in the extended state. It continually comes loose whether it’s either in the comfort strap or being secured with a tube.

What’s got me thoroughly concerned is that this thread that I found here on thunders that stats if you don’t go passed you BPEL than you will never grow

An Extender Public Service Announcement To Extender Newbies

Ok I am struggling with why you picked that post as one to follow. The poster makes a statement followed by senior members disputing it.

The extender community advise that the way to grow is time under tension, not by setting to length.

In my opinion setting an extender to exceed the length of either BPEL (or BPFSL) whichever is longer, will lead to a quick injury.

My dick doesn’t have a constant length, somedays shorter and occasionally longer. My BPEL Is my maximum length at 100% erection which is repeatable. Trying to stretch beyond that is just going to tear something that I do not want to be torn.

The reason your glans is slipping out is because you are trying to stretch your dick beyond what it is reasonably able to stretch to.

Be very very cautious if you continue down this path.

I had another thought after I posted the previous one.

Any measurement I take with a ruler includes my glans which is either engorged from erection or stretched out as best I can with my hand.

Extenders do not stretch the glans so comparing a length measured by hand with a ruler is different than measuring a length when in the extender.

If you insist on setting your extender to a length then I strongly advise that you only use measurements taken while in the extender.

See what bothers me about forum posts is whom to trust when dealing with personal issues such as what we are talking about in this thread. The reason I posted the link above is because many individuals who’ve posted here on Thunders who are well known like Marinera or jay9incher write constantly about what you should do to gain length. An it’s years of threads this one just so happens to be from 2013. But it gets so frustrating reading thread after thread on what’s someone’s opinion over another is and than to top it off, the jay9incher emails the people at jes about how going over your BPEL is the proper way to gain length. He attached the email to the thread for proof with them agreeing to what he wrote. Which I find odd due to no extender company stating that the only way to grow is by going over your BPEL.

All I’ve ever seen from any extender company is them just letting you know you apply the device and add rods every now and then. Nothing about going over any BPEL. I have attached the email that the man received via a link that can be found here on thunders: Reply from DanaMedic.pdf

32quarters, I’m most likely not going to extend past my BPEL. Honestly, I was going to just go the most half past my EL. Maybe even 1/4. This way every other week I just go up little by little. Which seems accurate as 3 months would make me go up an inch in EL from over time wear by going 1/4 every other week.

PSW one of my concerns about this discussion is that you never talk about tension settings. Adding another 1/4” does nothing if there is no tension. What is the resulting tension for your desired length? I never remember the grams for each mark/line, I just use the second mark (50%) as that is the most I could comfortably maintain. Early on I tried the different settings and found the one which worked for me. The third mark required me to strap my dick down so hard it went white and cold quickly. Anything higher was just impossible for me as my glans wouldn’t stay strapped in.

Pertaining to all the information that one reads in these threads you can find many different ideas, often conflicting. What works for one person may not work for another. As you read more and more you should see that some ideas or processes have better success than others.

I would suggest that one starts with the more proven ideas and after giving it a suitable try it doesnt seem to be working for you, then move to another idea.

For extending the strong theme for success is time under tension. Strap your dick in, set your tension and as you grow you will find that you will be unscrewing the extension rods slightly more to get to the same tension setting. Then one day you find the rods can’t extend anymore and you need to insert a new rod section, and you continue the process.

I strap in, set my tension, take a measurement. The only thing I use that measurement for is as a PI. If it is a little longer than general I take that as an indication that growth is coming. Or it could be my dick is just more rested than before. If it is a little shorter, I think I may be overdoing it and my dick is trying to turtle.

After using the extender I also take a BPFSL measurement for the same reason. I think it is more accurate than measuring in the extender, but as a PI they both are sufficient.

Prior to extending I used to hang. I got up to 12 lbs before getting blisters. Now, I was in a conversion with a forum poster over on Pegym about switching to extenders from hanging. He advised me not too. Simply because my body would not allow me to grow with the low amount of tension an extender gives compared to that of weight hanging. So I did my research and found out from thunders that many individuals who had previously hung weights bought two different springs and squeezed them together to make one spring than placed them into the device. The tension I’m getting is basically a 3900 gram spring with a 1200 gram spring I had a long time ago. I’m just using the first line on the device not going further down. But since I’ve doing this routine, I have never experienced whiteness around my head. Which is odd as when I would use the 3900 alone, I would see white around the head.
