The only reason for measuring your penis is to find out what size it is so that you can reliably know if your PE is working. So the measurement has to be repeatable.
The most repeatable method is:
For length:
Stand up straight. Have your penis erect and parallel to the floor. Bone press a ruler into the fat pad directly on the centre line of your penis, until it is as close to the pubic bone as you can get it without pain. A wooden ruler is often most comfortable and you can cut the end of the ruler so it has no ‘blank bit’ and starts at zero. Record the measurement.
For girth:
Either use a seamstresses tape measure, or wrap a piece of paper around your penis (either just take a mid shaft measurement, or take a mid, base and glans measurement). Where the paper crosses, mark it with a pencil and hold it against your ruler. Whatever tension you pull the paper to, make sure that is the tension you use every time. Record the measurement.
If you are sitting, the height of what you sit on, the softness, the angle you sit at etc. will all make your measurements vary. The purpose of measuring is just to see if you have grown, and to be as consistent in results as possible, not to get the largest possible measurement. It’s best to do it once a month (done the same each time, whatever method you adopt).
I think when people first start PE, they will measure without regard to the position they are in, but after a week or so of constantly getting the ruler out ‘just to see’, they have found the best way to measure for them. Many guys get the strongest erections in the position they most often masturbate in, so although sitting is the most variable, if you prefer to sit and always do it exactly the same, and you feel it works for you, then do that. If you prefer to lay on your back or stand, that’s fine too, as long as you are absolutely consistent. I have tried every method and although standing doesn’t give the largest reading, I have always found it by far the most easily replicable and accurate.
It is far harder to be consistent measuring length with a tape. The actual numbers are not important; knowing you are growing is. A ruler is best for length, a tape for girth.
If you get hung up about numbers, just get a plain piece of straight wood and use that. Put an ink mark at your max length, then repeat once a month. I prefer doing this to using a ruler.
Blimey! I’m not doing very well at this retiring lark. :)

All injuries happen from "too much", or "too much, too soon" or "doing the exercise incorrectly".
Heat makes the difference between gaining quickly or slowly for some guys, or between gaining slowly instead of not at all for others. The ideal penis size is 7.6" BPEL x 5.6" Mid Girth. Basics.... firegoat roll How to use the Search button for best results
