How Do You Measure The Penis? My Step By Step Guide

| By 48 Comments

Not every man is aware of the right way to measure the penis in terms of both length and girth. It is understandable why so few men know how to do this. In truth, it is not like you every have to provide accurate details of your size to anyone.

However, if your interest is in increasing the size of the penis, then you do want to take the right steps to measure it. The reason you should do so is not related to engaging in the process solely for your own edification.

Rather, there is a serious need to know so you can accurately chart your progress when trying to grow the penis.

The Basics Of Measuring Length

To properly measure the length of your penis, you must have a full, 100% erection. You also have to use a ruler and avoid using a tape measure. The reason is the ruler is hard enough that it can be pressed down into the bone and bone pressed is the correct way to take a measurement.

The bone in question here is the pubic bone at the base of the penis. The ruler must be placed not on the side of the penis, but on top of it so the length recorded is that of the middle of the penis.

Questions may arise as to why you must employ a bone pressed method and not merely measure to the flesh at the base of the penis. The reason is there may be varying levels of fat deposits above the pubic bone.

These fat deposits can end up skewing the results. So, matter how much weight you gain or lose, you can always get consistent measurements by employing the bone pressed method of measuring the penis.

Measuring The Girth Of The Penis

The girth of the penis must also only be measured when you have a full erection. Girth is measured with a tape measure. The tape is to be wrapped around the center of the penis shaft.

Do not allow the tape to angle. Be sure it wraps around the shaft of the penis in the most even manner possible. Skewing the angle can lead to equally skewed results. This is not going to be beneficial to anyone who is concerned about getting the right results all the time.

Why A Full Erection Is So Important When Measuring Penis Size

The reason why the penis must be measured when fully erect is fairly obvious: you must gain a consistency of results with each and every measurement you take. If the erection is of varying degrees each time you measure your penis, you simply are not going to be able to effectively judge how large it is becoming.

As a result, you are not able to track your progress in the most efficient manner. A lot of frustration can derive from not being able to track your progress correctly. That, in turn, creates the potential of leading you to give up too soon.

For those who wonder how they can be sure their penis can be made 100% erect each time they wish to measure it, using quality penis pills known for producing erections might be the best plan. This way, you can be sure that the penis is not flaccid when the time comes to measure it.

Do Not Measure Too Often

A last bit of advice that can be offered here would be not to measure the penis too often. It takes a great deal of time for the penis to grow longer and measuring with too much frequency can lead you into assuming no results are occurring even when this is really not the case.

  4. Another way to measure that is considered “proper” is measuring the “stretched penis length”. You stretch it out when it’s flaccid and measure from the base to the tip.

    • Hi khan

      Yes, it’s possible to increase your size in any age. However there’s no magic product exist that will increase your size overnight. You have to work on your end if you would like to increase your size. Also it takes time.

      So in your case i recommend you to start with top 3 male enhancement exercises first and see how it goes. I also recommend you to combine pills and exercises If you would like to see the progress faster

      Let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

  11. hi, the last two or three years I have been eating a lot of fast food, almost only eat fast food. I am 17 years now and i can see that my penis is getting smaller, I used to be 17.5-18 cm before and now its 17cm. But when its not erect is when there is a big difference, it used to be around 9-13 cm when soft but now its around 6-8 cm when its soft. Do you think it will keep getting shorter or are there anyways to get it back to how it was?

    • Hi,

      I don’t think you penis is shrinking, maybe you are measuring it incorrectly. Moreover, you penis is growing naturally till you hit early 20s.

      However i strongly recommend to think about your health and start doing something about it. Like change the way you eat and start doing physical exercises or jogging.

    • Hi,

      Your condition is called Peyronie’s disease and there a few options exist that you can use.

      First one is surgery obviously. The second one is called traction device or penis extender. Such device will help you straighten your penis over time. I recommend you to check out FAQ about penis extenders here

        Sir,
        actually i’m very scared of surgery like things. As well as size is concerned, it is reasonable for me. The basic problem is that penis is twisted. This problem is naturally. My younger brother has same problem. Sir, are there some foods or massage like thing that can solve this problem.

    • Hi,

      Your body grows naturally till you are ~22 so yes, it should grow on it’s own. However if you want to speed things up you can try manual male enhancement exercises like stretching, jelquing and kegels. You can find out more about these exercises on this blog

    • Hi Paull

      It actually depends on what country do you live in. Inches are used in USA and some other countries. So if you are comfortable with centimeters you should measure in cm. All measurements are accurate (inches/cm)

  18. Hello.

    My penis when erect is 13 cm. However, when it’s not erect, the head shrinks into the meat. I am circumcised, it’s like my penis is going inside as if it was a micropenis. It’s completely fine when I am erect, but when I am not, it shrinks all the way in, which damages my self esteem. What is this problem? Is it really a problem? What can I do to fix it? I am overweight, by the way.

    • Hi Ryan,

      Well, It’s not really a problem as long as you are not having issues with your erections. As for the fix – are you sure you need to fix that?

  19. Hello. I have a little problem in measuring the length of my penis. You see, it’s a little bent when it’s erect. So, if I measure it along it’s greatest length , it’s 6.1 inches whereas if I measure it along it’s shortest length it’s only 5.5 inches. Which do you think is my exact size ? or should I average these lengths and consider it as 5.8 inches ?

  20. Hi Dario,

    Is it normal for bone-pressed length to be more than an inch longer than non-bone pressed length? I mean, I’m not the fittest man in the world (5’11”, and about 200 lbs), but it feels like cheating to also take into account all the extra length buried underneath the fat.

    Without bone-press, I’m a little under 5” (measured from the top), but pressing the ruler all the way to the pubic bone, and I’m a little over 6 inches.

    Thanks.
