Been incredibly frustrating figuring this thing out and almost decided to return it BUT I made a change, removing the Styrofoam padding from the tubing and using that instead of both together and it appears I have cracked the code. Will report back. I like this already. Feels like I will certainly be able to go about daily tasks while using this extender.

Please give any tips and tricks.

To be clear, the challenge has been in finding the right padding to support extended wear/comfort?
No I couldn't get the thing to work with padding at all so I removed it and it works much better this way.

AHH yeah. They didn't used to come with the padding. It was just the silicone tube when I used one.

This is exactly what I was saying though. Don't give up. Dial it back a bit and spend time getting it to work for you. Well done.

MAN the padding made me wanna fight somebody. thankfully now i've got it working and if i'm understanding it properly, it shouldn't feel like i'm pulling my dick out of the socket, but it should be a slight stretch that progressively intensifies week to week. i've even added the small bars after 1 day bc i felt i could handle more. so probably gonna test to the point that i can handle then work up to 3 hrs/day then do that for a week, then add bars from there.

I feel like this is the most bars I can handle right now. I also feel like I can hold this for several hours without getting uncomfortable so unsure if I have enough tension going on

Yup that's right. Maybe consider using a bit of corn flour. This improves the grip and will reduce the friction as you start increasing tension. But it looks fitted well to me. It's how I did it.

Are you tying a knot with the tube underneath? I found that held much better than putting the ends in the catches.

lol I haven’t gotten to a point where I need the tubes tied to keep the thing in place. Guess my unit’s not tugging on the strings hard enough 🤣 in due time

I have a Quick Extender Pro and have been using it for 56 days. Should I use one or two tubes? Because there's room for two. I'm also going to remove the padding to see if it improves the result. Could you give me some instructions on how to use it to get the best length gains? I was using it according to the manual and now I've added one large bar and two small ones. I use it for 2 hours and then take a 10-minute break until I've completed 8 hours of use.
