Intrasession extender procedures

Hello fellow gainers,

So I've seen seemingly two schools of thought on this, and wanted some weigh in from those kore experienced.

I've been doing mostly single sessions, I have hit upwards of 8 hours in 1 session, not counting the 5 minute readjustment breaks I've had to take for slippage or true discomfort purposes.

I've seen several mentions of both "able to wear for long hours without discomfort" and "did 2 hours, removed extender, got bloodflow, put back on for 2 hours"

I've personally observed my glans basically going purple every session usually within an hour. Occasionally it is uncomfortable, a few times it hasn't been. I've managed to push past


So, the q. Should I be taking breaks (difficult owing to time constraints I have) or is it OK to go for multiple hours in the extender?

The longer period you wear without adjustment, the more advantage you'll gain from constant cellular stresses you place the penis under the traction device. However, do not allow the penis to turn purple. If you must take it off to rest every hour, 2 hour, or 3 hours to get some break time of 5 to 10 minutes in between, do so. Every hour of traction is compounded towards gain. 20 minutes under tension pressure stress the cellular structures, break them down, and cells reform. Taking breaks in between doesn't influence the already stressed and reformed area. Of course, longer is better. Continuous is better than breaks in between. But healthy penis is better than an injured one.

Gotcha. I will attempt best judgement and go for time under tension.

Another q regarding inner penile stretch.

When I manually grab and pull my shaft, I can feel it inside and out. In the extender though, mostly only feel it on the skin, and usually on my left side morso than the right. I've tried adjusting both sides individually to account for this. I have a slight twist/cant to the left naturally I think accounts for that.

How much inner stretch should one feel in an extender? I feel I've got the wrapping somewhat down, but trying to maximize my results while in extension

You should not feel the pull mainly on the skin. It should have the same dull pull like when you grab it with your hands. This is why strategic wrapping is needed to ensure the effective pull by the extended. This is why the glans suffers the brunt of the workloads during time under tension for an effective traction. When you grab the penis, it's practically the glans doing most of the work in providing traction control without you realizing it.

Hmmm, this is troubling news then. There may be one or more things I am doing incorrectly somehow. Below is a layout of my current processes.

I followed SIMs how to wrap video, and have been doing that for the past couple days, trying to avoid too tight. I was able to urinate with the green wrap still on at maybe 60% normal output. The green wrap is holding up well, extremely minimal bunching under the ace. Then I ace bandage, then black band wrap over that maybe half an inch away from the glans.

This wrapping method led to immediate traction gains, at least I think, hope I am not shrinking. Velcro strapping in behind the glans mabe .5cm back, with 2in and .5in bars added nets an immediate 1200g of traction. I had previously been using 2in+1in, by following the instructions, but I changed to 2in+.5in because I was having issues with traction even staying at 1200g.

I followed the directions booklet for setting up bars by having it so it is, with the screws mostly retracted, "slightly longer than flaccid but fully stretched penis". It is extremely difficult to measure owing to only having a measuring tape right now, but it appears maybe .5cm(not inch) longer with 2in+1in bars. With 2in+.5in bars my glans goes past the plastic shaft tips by maybe .5-1cm. Just double checked. Sadly not longer than 2+1in bars yet, no no gains over the last 14 days.

I am still dealing with purple glans as well, and about 10 mins ago had to remove due to pain on left side of glans. Was purple and numb touchwise again.

Are you extending as far as you can take it? Or just where it comfortable? I max the tension out when I wear my Penimaster. Which extender you using?

Sorry forgot to reply to the other 2 q's, I am on day 14 and progessing tension slowly as recommend. I started at 1200 initially but backed down on the first week to 900 on OALs advice. New week, trying to keep things at 1200g past the first mark, but having issues as mentioned above (pruple glans, no inner penile stretch felt)

Do make sure to be completely flaccid during wrapping. Try not to be stimulated or erected on any level. I know it will be very hard. Otherwise, any 0.1in of girth will cause slippage like crazy. This is just me, but when I wrap for either traction device or LengthMaster - Penis Bundle Stretcher & Weight Hanging, if I have even a sensation of erection, I'll wrap the first layer (my yellow THERABAND or your green vinyl wrap), wrap first round of cotton wrap, squeeze hard to push the blood completely out the glans and 4in of penile segment, and continue to wrap the cotton bandage so slightly tighter. You should still be able to pee, with a slight more pressure needed from abdominal push.

That's fine with the initial stretch. But check again in 10 minutes as your tissues relaxed. You may need to add more extension bar to max spring compression. The compression of the springs should be close to the very bottom of the device base, which is the 2nd mark at the adjustment scews, estimates to be 1200g. Your objective is to go just a hair past that 2nd mark and towards the 3rd mark as the springs lose their compression capacity. If it's at the first mark close to the noose, that's only 500g.

In your case, first 20 minutes, push hard to reach the 3rd mark is next to the adjustment scews. That allows for stretch you tissues to maximize elongation potential. You can allow the stretch to then ease up to the 2nd mark naturally at 1200g. Once again, wrapping technique will need to be played with to prevent blood and nerves cut off. Purple, numbness, or pinches are definitely not welcome during time under tension.

Left side pain means you have pinching from the wrap. I double and triple fold my TheraBand for the top half to create paddings for the Velcro strap to hug onto, without rolling my penile shaft skin under the strap and distal end (the white plastic part) to prevent pinching.

Well so far I am just past the first mark on the device, and still getting cutoff issues, which is 1200g. I have the new one which is 1200 2000 2800 per mark.

I will attempt to triple check the limpness, I feel that's been alright thus far but there is probably room to improve. I've also on your advice been squeezing the life out of my head before starting the first wrap to try to empty blood. Varying success, maybe? I'll try a gripped squeeze instead of a pinched finger type deal.

So, ensure glans is empty and deflated looking while wrapping, ensure flacid state, get more theraband for padding (the strip that comes with the device is dead tiny), check 10 minutes intra session, perhaps add +size bars because tissues could relax and extend, and I'll wait for your return on spring starting area based on measurements of new device and my new status.

Holy smoke! SizeGenetics - Penis Traction Extender upgraded their spring for the flagship model. So, make sure to go past the first mark and reach the second mark just for 20 minutes. Now, I know you have issues with the wrapping, so we'll do our best to guide you on the proper wrapping. I may have to dust my device off and start the approach for you.

If wrapping fail, and you still have issues with comfort, we'll tackle this in a different approach. I used rubber foam cutouts to create an expanded comfort traction cushion in the past. I may have photos of the mods in the media drive that I have to dig through. But let's do the wrapping first to find the comfort method.

Yes. If you can only see my role of TheraBand, 50 feet worth of it My wife thought I purchased it for exercise. I sure did. For my penis exercises that is. Let me know if this approach is working for you in the next week. If not, we'll find a way. We're here for you.

Many thanks for the advice as usual, I am 2 hours into today, struggled with 20 minutes of wrapping at bleary eyed 5am, comfort seemed to be better though and seemingly no purple today so that is good. Wrapped the head more judiciously today maybe that helped.

Got a few purple spots on my glans now though, and shame on me not sure where from. Definitely busted up blood vessles, hopefully nothing major damage wise. Either the session on 7/3 I had, or from squeezing too hard this morning before wrapping. Not sure, hopefully temporary. I did see a couple other posts on spotting that said it was normal, so not worried quite yet


Will report back with more. PExercise awaits!

Made 8h27m today, but several rewraps and breaks. Still some discomfort issues, and still some purple glans, but less numbness issues, and far less than the noose. Not observing any growth yet, but only 49 hours under tension. Hoping to workout the discomfort issues soon.

I do sit a lot for my job, and that causes some issues as well with posture and things. I end up sitting on the edge of my chair to let things hang

49 hours under tension is barely a starting point. It's practically a warm up. Don't worry too much until you start hitting the 100th and beyond hours. Common practice is 250th hours and beyond is when your tissues are preprogrammed for cellular accelerated growth. Most tend to stop around this point because it's too hard.

Yes. Extender using traction force through springs takes a while to preprogram the tissues for optimal growth. Most expects immediate results. It doesn't work that way.

Yea I wasn't expecting many results after only 49 hours, was hoping for a .1 of an inch but that's hard to measure.

I am 2 hours into today, started late, but so far alright. Little discomfort at the pelvis on the left side again, but no penile discomfort, so good there. Anatomical variations I am sure.

I do still have purple glans which is concerning, don't want thrombosis or injuries. Good news is some sensitivity to touch still there, though markedly reduced, and also my purple spots from yesterday are gone. Not sure how else I can try to prevent this I've been wrapping while flaccid and squeezing the blood down and out while trying to make layers with wrap.

Looks like your glans is being conditioned well based on the photo. It appears to be in a conditioning period based on your description so far. Try a bit further for another week to see if reduce the overall slight purple. Your gland may be more sensitive to changes than most. We'll keep monitoring your progress. I believe I have a few extra tricks for you at the end of the week if the glans are still too sensitive to changes during the conditioning period.

It looks more purple IRL than the camera shows, but alright hopefully it is just a conditioning thing.

Thanks for the knowledge share brother, I hope to pay it forward soon to others following my own successful journey

Crank up that HDR setting for discoloration. We want the color to stand out. That color is similar to the color of my glans after 10 minutes on the LM routines. It's just conditioning period. If it's still that color after another week, we'll search for a more flexible wrapping method.
