Fedora, I use a vac-extender. I'm hoping that using the tape that comes with the X-sleeve will help with that issue. My problem is that the bruising turns into small tears around the urethral opening, and it lightly scabs over. I usually log 2-3 sets of 30 minutes in the [words=https://shop.mattersofsize.com/products/sizegenetics-penis-extender]extender[/words], which is primarily because I can't wear it under clothes and the vacuum tension is really high. I always use the auto- V stretch high angle stretch bar with it as well, and my length has grown consistently. I measured EL the other day and it is over 7.75", with FSL measuring over 8.5". I'll keep you posted.
On another note, what is your final length goal?
