8 months extending with no result, please help

Hello all,

I have been plagued by my size since puberty (4,9” NBEL) and have huge confidence problem. 8 months ago I buy an extender Male Edge, then another one with a noose strap and rod-based. It has been very tough, being not cut, it took months for my foreskin to toughen and today there is no numbness / loss of circulation. I have been wearing the device 3-5 hours every day, in 1 hour sets - I cannot longer tolerate the burning caused by wrapping material friction and swelling of the head/skin around. I tried many different ways but the iritation of the skin always appear in 60-90 minutes.

Well, with over 700 hours, I gained nothing, not even flaccid.. Not a milimeter.

I believe my tension is enough as the shaft is like a guitar string and I can feel pull/slight pain caused by the glans being pressed against the wrapped noose.

I am desperate, feeling disappointed and so sad, all I want is to add 0,3”.

I would appreciate any help

Thank you all

Well, if you’ve seen no gains and you have taken the actions I suspect you have…you’ve been wearing the device set too tightly. Then, you’ve had the tension up too far and your penis resisted the traction effect. You need to stop using the device and take 6 weeks off.

When you resume, use the device with lighter tension. You don’t gain by tugging as hard as you can, as long as you can. That is not usually a recipe for success. Your description of your penis as a “guitar string” probably means the device is pulling too hard and it is counterproductive.

Thank you. So how tight should it be? Because if I loosen it by another rod piece, the shaft is quite loose. I imagine for it it grow it must be at least strained a bit, otherwise isnt it just extended within physiological limits? Are there any pictures of extender correctly placed? Preferably those with the foreskin as this causes a lot of troubles. Thanks again

I don’t have pictures of an extender attached to a penis to show you. However, there’s a sticky in the extender forum that lets you take a look at different tension levels using the gauge most traction extenders use. How to Read & Adjust Rod style Traction Devices (X4/Size Genetics/JES/Similar)

Look at the pictures and read the first post. It should clear up tension levels and you’ll have to sort it out yourself, how to create the proper level of tension. But it doesn’t have to be at the maximum at all.

Good day Russina. I’ve read what you had to say here and like thoughtfulgold, I believe you’ve started out with way too much tension. People make the same mistake with hanging. Going to heavy to soon, resulting in stronger ligaments instead of longer ones. Like Gold said, take 6-8 weeks off, to decondition you ligaments and make them stretchable again. Now that you have made them strong, they won’t stretch easily, so take some time off first so they become weak and stretchable, and then start of with the newbie routine and the stretcher very lightly. Remember, too much too early is counter productive. Don’t make your ligs strong again. Take it slow. Stretching takes time.

Thank you. I will therefore take the break and then start using the extender again with shorter rods.

All I want is to add stupid 5 millimeters :( ( with absolutely 0 gain for nearly 3/4 year I have hard time with not giving up.. But will try!

My advice is to take a 6 to 8 week break, forget about the extender, at least for a while, and start the Newbie Routine. See how that goes for at least a few months. You can always try the extender again after you think you’ve done the Newbie for a long enough time.

I don’t have enough experience to provide advice, but I do have a question:
During those 700 hours how much were you able to increase the stretched length?
