Need help with extender

I’m trying to use the extender, but I can’t figure out how to determine proper length of the whole thing. I tried searching both here and on Google to no avail.

From what I understand, you have to place the extender base on the bottom of your penis, compress the springs, attach the head just below the glans and then let it go. That much I figured out.

But when I actually get the thing in my hand and see all the little details, so many things that can be screwed and so many things that are variable, I get confused.

How do I determine correct length and tension? It’s X4 extender, by the way.

Thanks for help.

Isn’t there like a manual with it explaining how it works? Plus I’d say just do it how you feel comfortable at first and increase tension till you feel an okay pull. Don’t go hard at first as comon sense tells me you’re conditioning and as and when you feel it’s right, increase it more.

X4 labs own forum is pretty good !

Well, I understand the basics of how it works, but I’m curious how to figure out required tension and such. There are a lot of parts that can be pushed and turned so I got confused what am I supposed to adjust. I didn’t get the original packaging so I don’t have a manual.

I guess I’ll check their official forum, but I’d appreciate some input from members of TP as well. :)

Use trial and error to set the length of the rods so that when you stretch your flaccid dick as far as you can and you can place the strap or noose about 1/2 inch below your glans and pull it tight. This should be attempted with the bars completely screwed down to the shortest length. Once you have mounted the extender in the above fashion, you should unscrew the bars until the first line/notch on the bars is just covered. On my X4, this represents 600 gr of tension. As your dick relaxes, the lines will start to be exposed again. When this happens, unscrew the bars until the lines are covered again. Do this periodically throughout your session.

After you have done this for a month or two, unscrew the bars until two lines are covered (900 gr on my extender). I have been using my X4 this way for over two years. I rarely cover more than two lines; however I have had to add bars to maintain the 2 line coverage.


Start 11/09 BPEL: 5.5", EG: 4.4"

Current. BPEL: 6:4", EG: 5.5"

That’s the kind of explanation I was looking for. :) Thanks, I’ll try like that.

Though I still can’t keep my erection down while putting it on even if my life depended on it. :/

How much did you gain after 2 years of using extender?

I have gained 3/4 inch, most of it during the first year. I average about 3 - 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.

That’s good to hear. Is that along with some kind of manual routine or extender alone? Also, are those first gains or after gaining some length beforehand?

Anyway, I played around with extender for about 30 minutes or so and I think I’m close to determining the correct length/settings. However, both noose and comfort strap are extremely uncomfortable. I’ll have to get some kind of croakie or thick(er) shoelace made of cotton and see how they work.

Do you plan on adding manual stretching to your routine? How much do you expect to wear it daily?

Please let me know how things turn out. I may be interested in using an extender myself, but I currently do not have one so I can`t help you with your current problems. :)

You should wrap your dick with something. I used About 18 inches of J&J self sticking tape. Others use cut off baby socks or Ace type bandages.

I also stretch and use a pump for 20 minutes a day, but the pump is used primarily for girth. Hopefully, however, they compliment each other.

Yes, I plan to manually stretch as well. As for time wearing extender, I have no idea. I have to figure it out better and see how it feels while walking, sitting and doing other every day activities. That will also help me decide whether or not should I wear it to work/college.

Best case scenario, I’d like to wear it upwards of 8-10 hours a day if it’s comfortable enough and doesn’t cause pain, soreness, cold glans or something like that.

As with everything concerning PE in my life, I’ll post updates in my progress report so you can check it out there.

That doesn’t sound very practical. I’m still in search of proper croakie (or something) that will have material that won’t require me to wrap for additional comfort.

Baby powder works best for me.

UpTo7 -

Read some of the posts in this thread here:

Makinmorsausage - I’m about ready to give up. Extender users please comment.

I posted there on the cordage that I now use which was recommended by another member and works great and is to cheap to buy. Within my post I provide the place to purchase and part number (post #44). I also have the X4 Labs extender. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, it’s always interesting what people who do PE come up with to make things work. :) However, I doubt I will give extender another try in foreseeable future. It’s just too much of a hassle to put it on, keep it comfortable and hide it, without making it look like you have a huge boner in your pants. The clothes I usually wear simply don’t allow it.

I’ll probably try to reach my goal length using hanging in morning and evening without using some sort of extender/ADS. From my experience, they have shown to be quite a hindrance for everyday activities.

Yeah, I don’t wear the extender in public for the same reasons. I try to get in one 2-hour session per day while at home followed by some pumping. Give the red silicone cord a shot if you do decide to resume work with the extender. It is less than five bucks for 5ft and a few more bucks for delivery. I am real happy to have stumbled upon this idea posted here. I was dreading paying the extender company even more money for the overpriced and inadequate crap tube/foam setup.

Best of luck with your hanging!
