Hanging or Extender, which is better?

What is the difference between stretching with an extender or hanging weights from your penis? Are these two methods the same in that they stretch the outer penis or are they different in some way? One difference I've noticed from the forums is that the extender requires around 4-8 hours of use every day while hanging weights is only done for around an hour at most. Maybe I should combine both methods or is this just doing the same thing in different in ways? Any support of these questions is much appreciated.

I do believe that with the correct equipment, hanging is far more effective than working with an extender. It's also not as time-consuming as people always state, one could do 3 sets of 20 minutes in the morning and the same in the evening before bed (this would be ideal, but there are so many people who have gained with much less work but heavier weights). That would be 1.5 hours (because of warm ups, pauses, etc.) twice a day or a total of 3 hours. Well with an extender you would probably need double the amount of time to obtain the equal results. Not to forget that a hanger is cheaper than an extender, you could also build your own device. So to sum it up for the hanger:
Pros:
- almost effortless with the correct technique
- you also gain girth (especially base girth)
- unlike manual stretching, you apply an even amount of force in every session (e.g. always 20 lbs) which can be increased in (small) intervals
- you can target more angles than with an extender
- gains are theoretically unlimited

Cons:
- higher risk of injury/discoloration
- requires some time until you get used to the weight + until your skin is stretched
- building a good hanger is harder than you may think
- you can't walk around like you could do with an extender
- turkey neck, especially if you're uncut
- uncut guys seem to have problems with hanging in general, but I assume that's because of bad technique

I did hanging in the past and made a bad experience (injuries, discoloration, turkey neck), but I see the great potential behind it if done correctly. Now I'm using an extender and being an uncut guy, there is some discomfort as the skin under the glans is still very sensible. The discomfort of the extender compared to the one I got from hanging is much higher, but I believe that hanging is more efficient. That's the main reason why I want to return to hanging, an extender is probably good but I would say it's mainly dedicated to the cut guys.

Good question and I have a great answer There are two types of stretching when using a devise whether it be a hanger or an extender (or any other similar traction or hanging device.) The is low load and high load stretching, both come with their own, independent advantages. Low load would be a weight or resistance that you are able to use for long periods, this type of stretching is highly effective with cementing gains and excellent for tunica stretching. The tunica is very tough, with only about 5% elasticity. In order to stretch this it is important to do lengthly sessions of low load weight. Breaking down tissue is a different story, heavy load needs to be used to effectively break down tissue. Hanging is as effective as manually stretching for the same period for the most part, unless you are hanging very heavy for long sets. The perfect combination is a mix of both. For me heavy downward stretching really breaks down the ligaments and tunica preparing it for long, low load stretching in the Size Genetics Extender. I also feel it is vital to do expressive stretching, this is where you are predominately stretching internal structures with very low grip. The Bathmate Hardcore Stretches are best with this but you can also do Expressive Stretching with the LengthMaster or PowerAssist. When all three areas are attended to gains will be much faster. 1, Low Load Stretching, 2. Heavy load stretching and 3. Expressive Stretching.

I would say develop a routine that works for you. For me I do many routines daily every day.
If tissue is deformed and manipulated in the correct manner then results are produced.

Wow you got some really awesome answers in this thread you should be able to take it from there with no problem. My advice is hanging is more effective because I feel you get more tension from weights than with extenders. That is my own eprsonal experience though I never got a good stretch from my extender comparing to hanging and manual stretching for other guys though it is helpful when time is an issue. I feel like hanging will bring stronger results in less time.

hope this might help you also, i have just done an extender only routine about 5 hours everyday at max tension,

roughly over a 7 month period, completing 800 hours, no rest days until now, i decided to get good eq back

and decide where i go from here, at the moment i'm only showing a 4mm increase in erection size,

have to say i feel like an absolute chump keeping the faith so long and thinking an extender would do the job.

as much as i hate it comfort wise, i think its time for the bib to come back out, and welcome myself back

to the world of pain that is hanging.

It's rather a mental pain than a physical I would say. The stress remains the same, it's just that you sit there, 20 minutes without being able to move, so you're kinda forced to concentrate on the pain. Well, I found out that weed works perfect in these situations, but that's obviously not a solution for everyday so I got myself a few episodes of my favorite series and watched that every time I hung

lazyhanger were both uncut guys, were you retracting foreskin fully back when in hanging mode to avoid skin pull?

By the time I was hanging I had enough foreskin restored that I had to retract but I believe that is the best way to stretch or hang. It is sensitive and does take time to get used to but ultimately you will be stretching most internal tissue and ligaments opposed to mainly skin.

copy that dld! bet you had trouble finding a btc chair high enough to stop the snake hitting the floor!

Ok... everyone will get different results between the two... I did a stretcher for 10 months and nothing else... i would say on average 6 hrs a day with weekends off. Gained an inch and a half! I now hang... with little use of stretcher... I still use it but maybe 3 times a week, last week... No stretcher at all. I guess I am one of the few that actually slept with my stretcher on for hrs at night for the first 2 months. I can say... i started with 1.5 flaccid size! I didnt have a whole lot to grab! HAHAHAHA! Stretcher for the 10 months gave me the flaccid I needed to go farther in Penis Enlargement. Great question! and when you get answers from DLD and others... ur on the right mind set to set a plan... be faithful... get your gains! Good luck!

2 different animals, with any kind of stretching, manual, hanging, etc. I think it is of such importance to also use the SizeGenetics Extender also. I have solid proof that it is one of the most important parts of Penis Enlargement.
