Extender - Problems and Solutions Q&A

Here are some problems and solutions for anyone running into issues with extenders! Especially if you’re making do with a cheaper option or using a large bell.

Q: I’m using the largest size bell, and my cheap sleeves keep tearing.
A: The largest size bell seems to put too much strain on sleeves around the edges, and it also presses the delicate silicone sleeves against the rods. To counteract this, put your sleeve on the bell, then add a short, thin, second sleeve over the first. This will add a second layer of protection and provide a seal over any small tears in your current sleeve. I use a simple toe sleeve for this that I bought on amazon awhile ago. (The same type people use for clamping). You can also add a bit of plastic wrap as an additional layer of protection at the contact points.

Q: After a few uses, my sleeves get kinda slippery or oily, and I keep slipping out even when I get some suction.
A: Go ahead and wash them with dish soap. Store them in a Ziploc bag with baby powder. And if you’re still slipping see below.

Q: My sleeves are stretching after a few uses, or I find that I keep slipping out despite ordering the right size according to my measurements.
A: Take a second sleeve, remove the thicker bit at the end, and put it over your penis right behind the glans. Now put the extender back on. It will add a little girth and a good seal for the sleeve on the extender to wrap around. Not to mention, it will reduce any fluid buildup in the delicate skin around the glans.

Q: Sometimes after stretching 30-40 minutes while sitting down, I get a bit of pain or pressure from the base of the extender digging in at the base of my shaft, but when I adjust it to point upwards, I lose a bit of suction in the bell.
A: Just remember to bring your little pump and give it one or two pumps and it will pull the head right back into position into the bell. Otherwise, try not to adjust this way too often.

Q: The extender didn’t come with enough rods, or the bell is too large, so I can’t even get it long enough to get a good stretch.
A: What you’re looking for are threaded extender nuts, spacers, or pillars they’re sometimes called. Size M4*20+6 matched with my extender’s rods perfectly, and they were very cheap, just a few dollars online.

Q: I was playing with too much pressure, and snapped off the little plastic bit the bell attaches too.
A: No problem, get a small lanyard or something similar, attach it to the bell, and either around the thicker part of plastic that goes on the end of the extender and stretch as much as you want.

I was so close to writing off the extender after the first few weeks, but figured this stuff out and now I’m 5 weeks in with good stretching every morning and I didn’t spend much at all. Will post pictures if anyone needs.
