A penis extender is a device intended to increase the length and girth of the penis. Generally, the device works at increasing length and the girth increases will be secondary. The device is made of a ring, two rods, and a rubber holder for the glands.
While a relatively simple device, it might be able to contribute size increases to those who use such a device regularly.
How Does A Penis Extender Work?
The use of a penis extender is relatively basic. In fact, it may be so basic that not everyone will believe that the device will even work. While simple to use, the extender can deliver excellent results when used properly.
Basically, the glans of the penis is extended away from the base of the pubic area. The rubber portion holds the glans in place. There are screws connected to the rubber holder and they keep the glans extended. If you would like to know more how extenders work, i recommend you to check out this post
Why Does The Penis Extender Work?
At the core of this device is the effect continuous traction has on the cells in the body. The penis, like any other organ the human body is comprised of cells.
When the extender holds the penis away from the body, the continuous tension it deals with leads to the cells to begin to divide. As one cell turns into two, the penis now has more tissue. As a result, the penis becomes longer and slightly thicker in the shaft.
What Are The Suspensor Ligaments And How Are They Affected By A Penis Extender?
The shaft of the penis is not the only aspect of the male physiology that may be affected by the penis extender. The hidden suspensor ligament is also stressed by the device although not to the same degree as the shaft.
For those not familiar with male physiology and that, quite honestly, includes the vast majority of men, the suspensor ligament connects the penis to the pubic bone. There is a portion of the penis hidden inside the human body and, when the ligaments are stretched, the so-called inner penis slowly comes out of the body.
In truth, it is believed the actual length of the penis increased by the stretching of the ligaments is minimal, but the extra length gain certainly will be appreciated by mostly all men.
Are There Any Other Uses For A Penis Extender?
Yes, a penis extender can also be employed to help treat Peyronie’s Disease, which is the curving of the penis. The use of the extender might help straighten out the curves.
Originally, the concept of an extender was originally designed solely to help straighten out the penis. The eventual discover of the lengthening benefits lead to extenders being rebranded as size enhancement devices.
It has also been said that using one of these extenders contributes to making erections firmer.
How Much Of A Size Increase Can Be Gained By Using An Extender?
The increase in size will vary based on personal genetics. Also, the proper use of the device will factor into whether or not gains are made. To see the best results, a traction device has to be worn for many months since it takes quite a bit of time for the cells to actually begin to divide.
The time investment might be worth it. Some may gain as much as two inches.
Why Do Some Men Take Time Off From Using The Device After They Have Achieved Significant Gains?
Basically, the belief is the gains one experiences eventually stop. Therefore, taking an extended amount of time off allow for the penis to, in essence, accept its new size as normal.
So, when the use of the extender begins again, the penis will once again react and grow.
Is It Possible To Injure Oneself Using A Penis Extender?
Those who do not use the device in the proper manner run the risk of injuring themselves. Common errors men make with the use of a penis extender is they leave the device on for far too long.
Some even make the tragic mistake of sleeping with an extender. Manufacturers of these devices commonly suggest to only wear the device for short lengths of time, release the penis from the device to allow circulation to flow again, and then resume use of the device.
How Much Time Per Day Should The Device Be Worn?
The cumulative amount of time the device is worn (excluding breaks) can be one to four hours. There are men who may even wear it longer. Men are well advised not to overdo it with wearing the device in order to avoid suffering from any problems.
What Is The Best Penis Extender On The Market?
Based on customer reviews, it would seem that SizeGentics generally tops opinion polls as being one of the very best. The quality of the device is superb. You can find a good review of this penis extender here: “My Unbiased SizeGenetics Review – How It Works? Pros And Cons Revealed“
Would this work for a 75yr old senior who is still very active sexually. With 5 in erect penis?
Hi Vern,
Wow.. First of all congrats!
As for your question – sure, I don’t see any reasons why you shouldn’t use these products.

Dario
dude does penis extenders increase girth too? i have 6 inches length erect natural but i have less girth very
i want atleast 8 inches length and good girth to please suggest me what to do
Hi Sunny
If you would like to increase girth as well I recommend you to combine extenders and manual male enhancement exercises.
Dario
im a 54 yr old with pyronie’s disease. The curvature is apt 60degree upward bend. I’m fortunate there is no pain during erection, however being only about 5 inches erect, the curvature makes intercourse very difficult. Currently using verapamil cream, but thinking of trying a traction device. Also wondering how this device works when the penis is not erect? All photos show it in place and the penis erect. Your thoughts on my issues?
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your question. Yes, traction devices (extenders) will help you with pyronie’s disease over time. You should use device on half erected penis. Also, please check product’s official website (sizegenetics for example) for more details
Dario
If I am already 8 inches in length and 5.75 inches in girth, will a penis extender still work for me? The only people that I’ve seen use it have small to average sized penises.
Hi M
Most extenders can be adjusted to fit your current size so in other words yes, you can use traction devices as well. What kind of size would you like to archive?
Dario
I am the victim of a really bad circumcision. I was wondering if there is a way that the results can be corrected by pills or an extender?
Hi Prodius,
The best / fastest / safest way is to use an extender. Pills will not help for sure
Dario
Hello I’m currently 8 inches long and 6 in circumference, can an extender take me to 10 inches long, or am I too long for this extender?
Hi Nick
Most extenders can be adjusted based on your size. I think SizeGenetics should do the job
Dario
Now my dick size in 5.5 inch I want to increase 7.5 to 8 inch. what types of extender use to achieve result and how many duration month and hours required. can I use male enhancement product during extender use.
Hi Sunny,
Thanks for your questions and sorry for the delay with the answer. I recommend you to check this post: top3 products.
As for the time frame – our bodies are all different and act differently as well, so I can’t tell you exact time frame. However you should see first results within first 3-4 weeks. You should get an extra inch within ~6-9 months at least.
The best advise that i can give you is not to skip your trainings/routines. Do manual exercises as well.
Dario
While wearing a PE, can I still do normal daily activities or should I be completely relaxed? thank you
Hi Danny,
Yes, you can do you regular activities
Dario
Hi Dario I hope that you are doing well. I want to ask you a questions.
I have been using a penis extender for almost 9 months now, and I have only gone half way so far, whereas the course should have finished in 6 months.
The reason why it’s taking me so long is because I have been finding it quite difficult trying to catch up with the additional 0.5 cm rods, and have been spending several weeks sometimes before I am able to catch up with the next 0.5 cm rod, which is quite frustrating.
Also I am quite overweight which is also not a good thing, as it increases the fat pad covering much of the penis.
So I’ve been on a diet for about a year now as I’m desperately trying to get into my ideal weight. So far after 9 months of usage of the device, and having lost around 25 kg(25kg more to lose), I have gained 1 cm of erect length. I don’t know which one of it is mostly responsible for it, the weight loss or the 9 months of the traction.
At current pace it may take me over one and a half year to complete the course if I’m lucky. It is getting me really frustrated. I often get the thoughts that I may never be able to finish the course, as I am finding it harder to catch up, as I’m already stretching at 5 cm beyond my actual erect length, and it’s going to get only more difficult with time.
I am below average, and I’m desperate to make some gains and I hope and pray that I’m successful in my efforts.
Please give my some advice, I need help!
I thank you in advance, and look forward to your reply.
Regards
Tim
Hi Tim,
First off all congrats with your gains and I wanted to make it clear: our bodies are all different and react differently. Please do not stop and continue doing what you do. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer to see results, but keep pushing!
Also, if you would like to speed things up i STRONGLY recommend you to do manual exercises with combination of penis extenders. You should consider stretching, kegels and jelqing. You can find more about these exercises here
Let me know if you have any additional questions
Dario
Dear Dario
I hope that you are well. Thank you very much for your reply, I am grateful for your advice.
Recently I have started doing some basic manual stretching 3 times a day preferably if I can( usually 3 times when I’m off from work).
I try to do the manual basic stretches for a few minutes in the morning, late afternoon, and at night, usually prior to using the stretcher.
I hope that it will speed up the process a little bit.
The problem of the penis slipping out of the device continuously is quite frustrating, and sometimes I end up doing the 2 hour stretching session in several parts which is quite frustrating.
I wanted to ask you for your advice about something.
I have just been searching about this matter, and I came across the penimaster stretching device, which uses a strap system, instead of the traditional noose system, and seems like a better option for providing a grip.
In your opinion is it a better option, which can solve the problem of slippage?
I bought the Andropenis gold, which cost me quite a bit of money, and what I’m thinking to buy the Penimaster holding system( rather than buying the complete device which is quite expensive), and attach it to the Andropenis device, and use the strap instead of the noose.
What is your opinion about the band system, and this idea.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Tim
Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your comment and your feedback. You did the right thing and exercises will definitely speed things up.
As for the strap / noose system.. Well you can try it and see if it’s gonna be more comfortable. However please pay close attention to Penimaster’s holding system (if you can combine it with Andropenis gold). A good idea would be to give a customer service a call as well.
Dario
I am 3 inches erect and I want to gain 3-3.5 inches, about how long would I have to wear a pens extender to achieve my goal…. also which is the fastest growing extender
Hi Bryan
First of all please check/read the post that you see above. Then take a few moments and READ user comments and my responses as well. I’m sure you’ll find answers to your questions there
Dario

Hi nlv,

Dario
Hey Dario!
Thanks for staying active with your site! I’ve got a couple of questions for ya. I used an extender about 12 years ago (late teens), is there any risk in using it again? (I noticed about an inch in growth the first go round!)
Can I expect more, less growth this time around?
Since then I’ve been doing yoga on a regular basis, will this help my situation? I’m also looking for the exercises that you refer to in the comments, but can’t seem to find them on your site…can you post a link for them?
Last question, when I’ve been researching extenders online, they only speak of lengthening of a flaccid penis, is there a reason why no one talks about the erect length increases?
Thanks again for the information!
Hi,
Thank you very much for your questions.
I don’t see a reason why extender wouldn’t work for you this time too. As for the gains – did you use your extender alone or did combine it with exercises? I’m sure exercises will definitely do the better job with combination of extender.
As for the yoga – not sure how that might help 🙂
Regarding the link – there’s a banner after each article – click on it, enter your email and that’s it. Exercises will be delivered to your inbox.
Let me know if you have any additional questions
Dario
Is it possible to do the extender required time length while you sleep instead of during the day?
Hi John,
No you shouldn’t do that while you asleep.
Dario
hi,
can this device helps premature ejaculation? and if can how?
can this device straighten the curved penis? how many week need to straighten 70 degree angle ?
Hi Jack,
Yes, extender will help with the curved penis (condition is called Peyronie’s disease) over time, there will be no overnight results for obvious reasons. However you should wear an extender as advised in manual and not 24/7.
As for the PE – i recommend you to start with exercises – Kegels, Jelquing and Stretching. You can find more about exercises on this blog, just use search
