I suggest that some of these non-FAQ issues be started as new posts, and this thread be used for FAQ'S. Otherwise, it becomes a thread of off topic conversations. The topic, dear users, is FAQ's.

Or is that staying on topic is irrelevant these days ?

I would be interested in learning how to determine which on line extender is short enough to fit my 5.75 " BPFS penis with smallish head.

This is pretty much the length I was when I began, you are plenty long!

FAQ - Schedule for wearing

What kind of schedule might I consider?
At one point this schedule was suggested over at one Extenders forum:
note: "suggested", take breaks as needed.
Week#..... Hrs..... Tension
1..............1........600 or less if you deem that appropriate for your situation.
2............. 2....... 900
3............. 3....... 1000
4..............2....... 1000
5..............3....... 1200
6..............4....... 1200
7..............4....... 1200
8+.............6.......1200

Take as much time as you need to do this in a sane way. It makes no sense to make this a race. Extending needs time.
Personal note: It took me over 9 months to work up to 1200 grams. Your mileage may vary.

FAQ - What about my foreskin & using an Extender ?

Retract your foreskin first, and while holding it back, fasten your self into the Extenders cradle.
( You want to be able to check skin color, temperature, until you are familiar in extender wearing.)
You also do not want to hide the glans or penis head (under the foreskin ) while you are mounted into the extender.

If you have a tight, difficult to retract foreskin, it would be best for you to devote some time and exercise effort to loosening it up. Working with it to be more pliable, flexible, as best you can, over time. If your frenulum is the problem in retraction, you may be able to loosen that up over time. Go gently.

The foreskin is richly populated with capillaries, veins, vessels and the like. You want to take some amount of caution against pinching, tearing, stretching, cutting off circulation.

As far as the slippage problem, two things that have worked for me:

1. Proper wrapping.

How to Traction Wrap Properly

1. Roll off and cut approximately 18" of wrap (you may adjust this if necessary)
2. In a flaccid state, grip your glans with 2 fingers and stretch your penis out as far as possible.
(Your thumb should be closest to your stomach and your finger behind the glans.)
3. Take one end and put the outermost edge of the wrap just behind the glans, lift and hold it in place with your gripping finger.
4. Wrap 2 or 3 turns just behind the glans and start working your way up the shaft.
5. Wrap as far as possible up the shaft and secure the loose end.
6. For extender wearing. I like to push and Kegel blood in to the glans as I wrap. The wrap serves as a tourniquet to keep the glans engorged. I will "pump" it full of blood until it feels like it is going to burst. It will swing like a pendulum. The enlarged glans helps prevent the extender from slipping off.

2. Replace Rubber straps with velcro cable wraps. Hook and Loop Wraps

I use a PenisMaster and replaced my straps with velcro cable wraps. These stick to the self-adhesive wrap and
also stay in place much better than the rubber ones.

1. How can I make the plastic head piece more comfortable?
2. How do I prevent scrotal pinching or hair pulling?

One solution: neoprene. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-68903265849132_2104_30986494
1. I took a neoprene mouse pad and cut out a piece the shape of my head piece and glued it in place. Very soft and comfortable. Also helped with slippage.

2. I found my extender would pinch my scrotal skin between the rods and springs and also sometimes at the base. I use 1/2 of a neoprene mouse pad and cut a hole in the center for my penis. The base of the extender rests on the pad and doesn't pinch or pull hair. Very comfortable.

No I have NOT yet posted this article, in fact, I am compiling the info today, but I think I will leave this thread open, and I can always do a second version of advanced FAQ later. In fact, Iguana might be good at that if he is going to be on here any more.

Guys, GREAT POSTS Fli, Dangler, and Iguana, and the others who also helped. I REALLY appreciate all your help. Now, if there is anything else, I urge you to try and get it up here tonight.

A wrapping technique that works for me: I use the foam rubber cylinder supplied with the extender and wrap over it according to Iguana. However, I make sure ther is a small part of my foreskin (I am circumcised but there is enough when flaccid) between the wrapping and the glans. It seems when I have a "foreskin cushion", I can wear the extender longer before this area becomes painful.
