Do you think that do clamping whit a shoelace is a good idea? Ok, no problem for me if a mod tell me that my words are inadeguate, but I also would like to know what does he think about the shoelace idea. Is really a bad idea, bad is better for you? But I still think that is a foolish idea. And I don’t need to try it to understand that it is a bad idea.

Mostly because probably the OP is a newbie, not for sure an experienced guy in PE. You are telling me that my words is harsh, but what do you think about your answer that as been given to a person without knowing his experience in PE? Do you think that is worst say foolish or give an answer like yours to a young guy without experience in PE?
Sorry for my English.

I did not mean to come off harsh either. Your English is amazing.

I tried the shoelace and have experimented with clamping. I found both to be inferior to the flexi ties, which is what I settled on. Perhaps I should have been more clear. Here are my actual results.

First, the shoelace will cut into your skin if used without padding. This is true of a clamp as well. The shoelace wraps both skin and shoelace as you tighten, just as a clamp will bring skin with it as you tighten. Both are very, very uncomfortable. So for both, padding is a must, because they cannot be clamped into place and used without cutting into your skin and chafing/scratching/bleeding and so on. You require some sort of foam padding, like a mouse pad, and maybe an additional bandage wrap.

For the string, I used a simple double-tie shoelace knot, same as you would for a hiking boot, and achieved less blood cutoff than I did with the clamp. You cannot tie it as tight as you can squeeze that clamp. So from this standpoint, a clamp is much more dangerous, but also much more effective. I won’t argue that a clamp is the highest level of expansion. You can really get that clamp tight.

I also found it difficult to tie the knot. You need both hands, plus you have to hold the padding in place. A clamp was much easier to use one-handed, but it’s still a pain in the ass compared to the flexi ties.

For safety, if the shoelace gets tied wrong, you might have to cut it off. Your padding will probably protect your penis, but you risk cutting yourself if it comes to that. If you tie a traditional shoelace knot, though, it comes untied quickly, and this risk is averted. Remember the clamp can get bogged up, too, so it is not immune from getting locked into place and requiring you to cut it off, and cutting a string is much easier than cutting a rugged, hard piece of plastic. Both place you at risk, and people have been injured from clamping.

Overall, I believe a shoelace is no less harmful or risky than a traditional clamp. Both are tourniquets, both cut off the circulation, both will result in an amputated or mutilated or injured penis if left in place for too long, both require a great deal of padding because they cut into your penis, and both can go wrong if used improperly or unwisely, or if they become defective.

However, everyone on here uses a clamp, and it has become acceptable despite the obvious risk, discomfort, the fact that it has caused injury and turns your pecker purple and you lose circulation and risk nerve damage. In other words, I don’t see a lot of difference between clamp and shoelace. Both are high-risk, and when observed from the outside by a non-PE’er would be considered crazy ideas. I don’t consider either of them safe ideas. I don’t like the idea of a clamp anymore than a shoelace, because I don’t like the risk they place you in, and I don’t like the idea of using a tourniquet on my penis.

Still, the primary things to consider with ~any~ exercise are comfort and safety — will it injure you to use it, and how fast can you get it off? You may be more open to risk of injury than I am, and are willing to accept that risk, but I want this to be a safe and healthy exercise for me. I have been injured too many times in the gym to believe I am immune from being hurt by high-risk exercises, despite what gains I might see from them.

Which is why I went with flexi ties. They are not as tight, and they have proven to be very safe, very comfortable, much more convenient because I do not need to pre-wrap, and they allow normal bloodflow, but with an increased pressure that I believe over time will result in girth gains. Perhaps slower gains, but what I believe will be safer gains. Also, they are about as risky as a cock-ring, which is a much more acceptable means of safely maximizing your erections.

I truly believe a shoelace is no worse than the beadle wraps I started with. As long as padding is used with it, there shouldn’t be any issue. Tying it directly to the penis, yeah, bad idea. And I thoroughly agree it’s not the best option, but I’m sure it can be used if done with care. Part of PE is experimentation and having that courage to do so. If you have an idea, then give it a shot. Nothing is set in stone here, no routine works for everyone, and we are here to learn. Sometimes by trial and error. Every idea in PE started from someone trying it first and many of those trials ended in error. That even goes with the most common, recommended methods.

As for your question saber113, “Did you get a good expansion by using this method ?? ” I just started with clamping. From what I have experienced so far, yes. I just don’t have any numbers to verify it yet.

I don’t think that I’m a harsh guy, and I always try to respect the forum guidelines. If foolish is a bad word I change it with bad. I love the clamping.

Always when I read the principal thread about clamping here on TP, if a newbie (and I can consider a new member a newbie) ask something about the clamping things, the answer that I always read is: “Do you have experience with PE? Because if you have not, stay away from this, at least for now”.

So is difficoult for me read a superficial way to suggest something like a shoelace instead of ask the question that I have write before.

Is not a problem for me if you use a shoelace, a velcro wrap, or other things. And for sure if you use a shoelace you need a wrap, this is implied, unless you do not confuse the clamping with castration.

Now, the big differences and the clear advantage to use a cable clamp instead than a shoelace.

First, really important, the shape. When you close a cable clamp around your penis, the shape of the cable clamp become oval. And so it put pressure mostly on the lateral sides of the penis, and not in 360 degrees. So you can have a lot of pressure in your CC but less in your urethra, and less in the dorsal side, so less in the dorsal nerve. Why is important this? Simply to avoid injuries. Exactly like in the jelq.

Second, really important, you can easily choose the quantity of pressure, because when you clamp you know exactely the number of “click” that you need to have the desired effect of expansion.

Third, really important, is easily removable if you have a problem, is really easy.

I will not continue to bore you, write in English is difficult for me. What I wrote is clear, and I’ve learned this here on TP.
Have a nice day.
Sorry for all the grammar errors.


What is doing PE right? Getting the proper stimulation to recovery ratio. The other critical factor is: if you get vastly improved EQ, your chances of growth are far better! (cit. sparkyx) Warning! If you haven't gotten improved erections:

I have ED and one of the ways I achieve and maintain an erection includes the use of an Osbon Tension Band. It is a tight silicon "cock ring." It is considered a "medical device" so any packaging will not reveal your intended use. I find that it fits as tight or tighter than a cable clamp. However, it is quite expensive - about $28 with shipping. I use mine four or five times a week and it lasted two years.

And yes , it cuts off circulation and needs to be removed after twenty minutest

dt, I always read your answers, I consider your answers well balanced. And I know about your ED, and I know all the informations that you give to help someone with this condition. But a device done to help someone with ED is different from something suggested for a guy who need girth, need girth. This happens on different levels of thought. IMO.

Ok thanks guys a lot informations to work with . Good luck with your gains

I have tried the shoelace in my early days. If you tie a proper slipknot that can be easily released it’s not dangerous, as long as you release it when you feel pain. BUT I DON’T RECOMMEND IT. It hurts.

I have used a hose clamp for a long time (although I haven’t clamped in a many months). If you go this route, it would be good to get the one with the “key” so you can easily unscrew it when necessary.

But by far the most common recommendation I have seen here is a cable clamp - there is a brand simply called “Cable Clamp” sold on Amazon. It goes on easily and comes off easily. And you won’t have to explain anything to family. There is nothing suspicious about a cable clamp. Heck, when it’s not on your dick maybe you can actually organize some cables with it ;)

A cable clamp fits in the palm of your hand. Hide it in you pillow case or just leave it on your computer desk. Or better yet use it for its intended purpose and when its not wrapped snuggly around your cock clamp it around a couple cables/wires.
