ADS point of diminishing returns?

I have been reading just about every thread in the forum and I am noticing that there is a point of diminishing returns on the ads after hanging. Just to be clear, I believe that ADS is only good for keeping your penis stretched after hanging so that the fibers start to heal in the elongated state. I do think that at most 2-4 hours after hanging is the most one should have to use the ADS. Anybody fond that using it more than that amount of time after hanging was beneficial???

Most of what I read says that anything longer provides no additional benefit.

Thanks for the reply. I figure hang in the AM and then ADS until noon. Then maybe hang in the evening and ADS until bed time. No need to go the whole day.

I haven’t ventured into hanging yet. I did a little bit of research because I’ve been considering it is all. So hopefully someone with actual experience will chime in as well.

I don’t know how effective ADS is after hanging but I know a few people (not on this forum) who have made significant gains using only ADS at very high tension for 10+ hours everyday.

This is something I’ve been pondering recently also, I put a lot more faith in clinical studies rather than anecdotal evidence since there’s so much conflicting information although I understand studies can be manipulated and anecdotal evidence does count for something.

The thing that made me really think about this was looking at the Phallosan study as opposed to the Restorex study.

The Phallosan study candidates wore the device at low tension for a median of 6.5hrs per day and after 3 months of use the median increase in penile length was 1.05cm.

The Restorex study candidates wore the device at high tension for 1hr per day (2x30mins) and after 3 months of use the the increase was 1.6cm, they found no further benefits from the group wearing it for 3x30mins.

The initial conclusion looks like less time and higher tension is superior but if you read the studies carefully the Restorex says the 1.6cm gain is restoring lost length due to Peyronie’s so it’s still not clear cut.

This comparison reminds me of when I was trying to learn about bodybuilding, one camp argued that short workouts with high intensity was most effective and the other camp argued less intensity with more volume was best and now after many many studies looking closely at this the fact is, they both work so it’s best to do what you enjoy and what you’re more likely to stick with long term and suits your lifestyle.

I agree. I think the problem with the ADS is the “ALL” when most use it from a couple hours to 8 hours. I do think it might have some benefit when combined with hanging. The more I read the more I notice it is not a stand alone approach. Some big gainers never did it and some others swear it was a game changer. I imagine we can take something from extender studies. The problem with those is that they range from 4-9 hours.

First thing I should mention is that I vac hang and vac ADS.

I have worn the vac ADS for many hours a day and sometimes at night. It definitely reduces(eliminates) the turtling effect for me in 2-3 hrs. I also find that I experience fatigue with the ADS. IMO, anything that increases the time under tension with fatigue is a positive step toward gains.

However, IMO there are diminishing returns on wearing a vac ADS but for me it comes as over-conditioning of the glans skin. I have had a pretty large (dime size) area of glans skin slowly peel off. Not a blister, just thick (think fish scale) dead skin become detached. It interrupts my vac hanging because I cannot use tape. So I have cut back on ADS wearing for this reason only but I still wear it for at least 6 hours a day.

It seems that it would be almost impossible to separate gains made from hanging vs gains made from the ADS if you are doing both in your routine.

Hey guys,

I wanted to know whether anyone had gained permanent length gain through wearing an extender? And whether they cause ligament extension?

Nobody knows for sure. Outside of sleeping if I am not hanging I am wearing an ADS.
