What Are Penis Extenders?

Do Penis Extenders Really Work?

In short, the answer is yes, penis extenders really do work, and they really work well when you put the time and commitment into using them. If you want real results, you have to be committed and dedicated to using it, just like you would with any treatment where you were going to produce a physical transformation of your body.

In fact, penis extenders not only have been proven to work, but they have also been shown to actually work and produce better results than penis enlargement surgery.

Let's be real about this too. If you're really looking to enlarge your penis for whatever reason, you need to have in your mind that you should commit at least 6 months to this body transformation process. Again, this is NOT a gimmick and not an overnight magical solution. You are literally going to change the physiology of your penis and you're going to add new tissue for length and girth of your penis.

Now 6 months may sound like a long time, and depending on what you're comparing it to, it either is or isn't. In my mind, time goes by so fast that 6 months can go by in the blink of an eye, and to know that in that short amount of time you can add 2-3 inches to your penis that will never go away and that you'll permanently have forever seems MORE THAN WORTH IT.

Six months for a lifetime of never feeling horrible and embarrassed about the size of your penis again! Can you imagine how amazing that would feel? The difference between a 3-4 inch penis and a 5-7 inch penis is like night and day.​ Imagine the confidence and self esteem you would have? Imagine how much more fun and freedom you will have in the bedroom with your partner! When you look at it in these terms, 6 months of wearing a device that will change your life forever is nothing but totally worth it if you're suffering.

How Do Penis Extenders Work?

There's actually quite a bit of science behind penis extenders.

You might think that somehow it's about just stretching the outer skin of the penis, but it's actually much more involved than that.​

You're actually changing the physiology of your penis, and in particular, the spongy part of your penis called the Corpora Cavernosa. See diagram above.

What penis extenders do, is they attach at the base of penis and also at the head of the penis, and they use special rods that you control to cause pulling or traction.  Like with traction devices for other body parts, you can increase and adjust the amount of traction tension little by little over time.​

Medically, what is happening is a process called cytokinesis. What the traction is doing is causing tiny lacerations in the soft tissue of the Corpora Cavernosa. When this happens, the body responds to these little traumas or lacerations by building new tissue through cytokinesis where cells divide and multiply - which is how new tissue grows. 

Now you can really understand why this is not a "get big quick" scheme. This is real and permanent change to the actual physiology of your penis. As the tissue heals, it becomes larger and firmer, and can also hold more blood as it gets bigger.

What Kind Of Results Can I Expect With A Penis Extender ?

Bottom line is that you can expect 1-2 inches of growth in about 6 months depending on how consistent and committed you are to using the extender. That's kind of the average. Some guys will experience more growth, and the less committed ones will experience less. It's really up to you.

Most of the penis extenders use the data from published medical studies that say on average most men will experience about a 30% permanent growth over 24 weeks.​

How Do I Use A Penis Extender?

All penis extenders have their own unique nuances, but in general, they have a lot of similarities in how to use them.

• Get your penis clean and prepared for the penis extender
• ​Put on any straps or attachments
• Put the penis into the extender and pull your penis through opening in between the rods
• Secure and tighten the included straps
• Adjust the tension rods to a firm but comfortable level
• Optional Step -> Apply heat to the penis. The heat helps spur blood flow and it also makes the penis more limber and malleable
• Reduce major physical activity while wearing the extender. You're basically trying to reduce the chances of it coming loose, so the less physical activity the better while you're wearing it

Jes Extender and Male Edge put out a very good video on how penis traction works and how to use a penis extender. I'm including that video below, because in this case, a picture (or better yet, a video) is worth more than a 1000 words!

If you'd actually like to see how to use a penis extender by watching a real person attaching one to their penis, then check out this video below. This is someone who bought the Sizegenetics Penis extender (which we believe is the best all around penis extender on the market).

He walks you through unboxing it, attaching it to the penis, and going over the different features & functions of this particular penis extender. ​Good customer video review of the product.

Are All Penis Extenders The Same?

In short, the answer is no, and not by a long shot! When you have a market need for a product that has so much raw emotion driving it, you will always find manufacturers that will try and take advantage of the desperation and vulnerability of men who just their life back and to feel whole and not less than for any reason, especially the size of their penis, which is one of the worst feelings in the world.

Typically, the disingenuous manufacturers just looking for a quick buck will try and undercut the price of the legitimate and quality devices and just offer cheap, uncomfortable, painful, and sometimes even dangerous knock off products that no one could ever use for 6 months.​ The customer gives up, doesn't get the results he expected and hoped for, and goes away thinking penis extenders (all of them) don't work - which just isn't true.

What to Look for In a Penis Extender

1. Medical Grade Materials

2. Attention To Ergonomics

Typically, male enlargement products that work on these principles will employ the use of either a strap or a noose to grasp the tip of the penis. The noose is a loop that gently slips underneath the head of the penis before attaching the device. Some men find the noose mechanism slips off too easily because of the shape of the penis.

3. Comfort Options

Speaking of comfort, there’s more a penis stretcher can do than simply offer a choice between the strap or the noose. This is where having a qualified design team full of trained ergonomic specialists comes in.

The best penis extender will have Comfort Technology, which means including as many options as possible for customized comfort while wearing the device.​

This allows for penises of any shape, size, angle, and sensitivity to find their “comfort zone” with minimal discomfort of chaffing.

4. Comfort Engineering

5. Clinical Studies

6. Money Back Guarantee
