Interesting articles on extenders

I’m thinking about adding an extender to my routine so I started looking around the web for info on extenders. This article talks about the top four best extenders and what makes them the best. Number one is SizeGentics and is priced at $200. Number two is the VimaxExtender, which goes for $100.

Veteran extenders, what do you think is the best and why? What does an extra $100 provide you that the VimaxExtender doesn’t?

I also came across this article. A journalist at CBS did some research and they concluded that an extender is the only what to see permeanent results. Again, what are you thoughts?

The long and short of penile extenders - CBS News

DrKNoisewater, IMHO, the first article was a marketting attempt to get you to buy a SizeGenics. There was nothing there to convince me that any one of the units described was better than the others. In my experience it is functionality which separates them out. Do they have a vacuum head? Will they take a strap as well as a noose? Are they spring loaded (like most) or simple thread like the LeLuv slider which allows you to try out stress relaxation? Durability is an issue but I found my first extender - a cheap proextender I bought on Aliexpress for less than $20 (not $200 as quoted in this article) is durable It also fits a Vacextender head you can buy separately from Monkeybar’s Autoextender. I modded mine to fit a DIY velcro strap which I find more comfortable than the normal noose.

I have now moved on to a $60 LeLuv Slider extender that allows for stress relaxation and is easier to adjust for tension than the conventional spring based ones.

The second article is pretty light weight and suggests you can gain from extending. I agree. I gained 1 1/4" over 12 months. However you can gain in other ways. If you read widely, the posts here at Thunders you will find many approaches that work for individuals.

I believe you will gain more from an extender by learning how to use it and possibly modding it. However if you have a sensitive head that cannot handle the noose then you may need one with a Vacuum head or try out the DIY Velcro strap mod.

Yeah. It seemed like a promotion. There main competition: X4 labs wasn’t even mentioned, They are always ranked 1 and 2. Size Genetics is usually #1 and X4 is a close 2.

Are these better than the autovac extender?

I couldn’t speak to that as I have never heard of the autovac extender, but I am fairly new to the PE scene.

First article: the SizeGenetics actually is a re-branded JES Extender. The fact that they are on the same list in different places is hillarious. The only thing the SG offers extra is a box of garbage pills, a DVD of exercises you could learn here for free and with better support, and a heavier spring. And you only get the extras if you order the Super-Mega-delux package that costs like $400 or something.

The second article is a good one. At least the "research review" it is referencing is a good one. Here is the link.

I found this article a while ago and it reviews ten studies. If you look at the individual studies none are beautifully set up, some even have glaring flaws, but there is a great deal of consistency between them, and the sheer quantity of positive results, I believe, shows the extender to be effective.

Do I think extending is the only thing that works? Hell no! I have gained over an inch hanging.

Oh, and as to which one is best, Austfred is right on the money. If you don’t have one yet get a really cheap one off eBay or one of the sites like Aliexpress or ECPlaza if you want standard spring-based. If you want a vac extender, get the cheaper one from Monkeybar. I think it is called the KR Extender. I have it, it works just like all the others and comes with the vac cap. If you want a screw and threaded rod, stress relaxation-based extender, go with the LeLuv Slider or the Slider Hybrid (more attachment options).

I’ve been thinking about getting an extender. Is there one that works best with an uncircumcised dick? I’m I at a disadvantage?

Austfred is uncircumcised, so I think his advice still holds true.

Roots is right in that I am uncut. The only disadvantage I can think of is that you have more skin that can get in the way. You have to push the foreskin back out of the way whether you are using a noose, strap or a vac head. The biggest issue I have is making sure there are no skin folds under the silicone comfort sleeve I use under my DIY velcro strap or under the vacuum seal with the vacextender but not too difficult once you get the hang.

With the extra skin also make sure none of it gets under the extender base. I make sure by pulling it all through before I strap in.

>Is there one that works best with an uncircumcised dick?

The short answer is no. Do not think any brand would make a difference in this respect.

Hope that helps

Austfred, could you elaborate a bit more on your device and the velcro adaptation? I would like to acquire an extender for use when I move beyond my 3 month newbie routine. Information here and your post made me realize it is not necessary or better to spend more on these devices.

Ectospasm, the extender i am currently using is this one -

You need the hybrid version to do the DIY velcro mod. I like this extender for two reasons. Firstly it makes it easy to use the stress relaxation technique and secondly you do not have to take the cradle off to add rods etc.

Info on the velcro adaptation is here.

You may need to register on these sites to see the pics.

I find the Diy velcro strap works well but you do need some wrap underneath especially to stop the leading edge of the velcro irriting the glans. I use a cotton bandage wrap with a short silicone comfort sleeve on top.

http://www.absi licone.com/comf … eve-single.html is an example of the sleeve.

Hope that helps.

Yes. Thank You-Very helpful.

Hi ausfred how are you!? Please remind me what extended you used to get over an inch in 12 months?

Didn’t you just gain some length you had on your youth?how much has been extra length?

And then, I will surely get vacextender from monkeybars, how can I order a silicon sleeve of my size?

Are you going to use vacextender again?

Hi quim

To answer your questions.

I started out using a cheap chinese proextender which probably got me half my gains, then I modded it with a vacextender head which got me some more gains, then moved to the DIY velcro mod, after I got a blister from overdoing it with the vacextender then a further smaller blister after initial healing, and finally the Leluv slider with the DIY velcro mod. I would estimate 3 /4 of my gains were with the chinese extender in its various forms and the last quarter with the Leluv slider.

I recovered about an inch that I had lost to get back to my youthful 6.25” and then gained a further .25” to get to 6.5”. That makes it very hard to be sure how to assess my success to date. I had actually lost more prior to extending and regained that by some manual stretching and jelqing. It was that loss of length that got me motivated to take up PE and I would have felt it a success even if I regained only half what I lost. On the other hand my EQ is still not anywhere as good as it was in my youth even after recent gains from PE so my gains from extending are certainly more than 0.25 at least in my mind.

My flaccid is now much longer than in my youth and I have gained about 1/2” in EG from pumping and jelqing. I was about 5” EG in my youth and that did not shrink like BEPL and now it is about 5.5.”

>how can I order a silicon sleeve of my size?

The link I provided above sells silicone sleeves. They are pretty soft and flexible and should fit most men. Think they only come in one size.

>Are you going to use vacextender again?

Have been thinking about it from time to time but need to make a piece for the leluv slider so it can fit it. The bar spacing is different but no big deal. On the other hand I am happy with the DIY velcro strap and the vacextender puts some stress on the glans similar to the vacuum pump . The combination of both may make blisters more likely.

Trust I have answered all your questions.
