The tube I was using the first month did start slipping a lot from the skin oil I assume. I haven't cleaned it off yet, but through the 2nd tube on and so far back to a nice firm hold. I do notice on the illustrated diagram the extender comes with, they make it look as if the penis head should extend past the actual plastic device at the end. But in reality it gets no where near the end. I am up to 6.5 hours a day this week so hope to work up to 8 in the next couple weeks. I will probably measure at about the 2 month mark and see if anything has happened.
Questions and thoughts from Extender users

Use of a Baby Sock
Use of a Baby Sock
Here is a photo showing use of a infant/baby sock as a layer of protection between the "comfort strap" of an X4 extender and the user of the extender. It might be used in the same way with a noose tube fastening. The elastic in the sock helps it to stay on the shaft, and for some, to hold back a foreskin.
Of interest is how the glans can be somewhat engorged and remain that way using the comfort strap.

Strumf,
You can google "penis pump" for starters, or on Ebay, or Amazon. Lots of junk for your "junk", lol.

Interesting Dangler. As you can see, the one I have, the glans are below the end of the extender even though their diagrams make it look like yours, glans pas the end. Beginning to wonder if I am wearing the damn thing wrong!

Hi Squid,
I went back over & looked at your pic of you mounted into your extender. If you have any lengths of rods like a 1/4" or 1/2" sections, you could "build" your extender a tad shorter. Then after you mount in, begin turning those thumbscrew knobs to then cause the extender to "grow" longer, therefore appling "pull" to your dick.
One aspect of extenders, is a lack of instructions on how to build your hardware to be an appropriate length. This infers you have an assortment of varying extension rod lengths to do this.
I usually advise to build it so after you warm up, hand loosen/exercise, you can compress the springs in the extender, mount yourself in, release the springs (slowly), and then turn the adjustment screws to apply tension or pull to the shaft.

Hi Dangler,
thanks for that. I think the problem, maybe at least with this design, is that if I strap in with the head up over the end of the piece, the stretch is so minimal it doesn't seem to have much effect. Almost like just pulling your penis out to the point of minuscule tension. It is not until the build of the extender starts to pull the penis down with the tubing does the stretch feel good. But, I will break it down and try it again. The comfort is fine (get some burning on the skin where the lower half touches the scrotum) but can wear it pretty well for 1 to 2 hours without breaks. I'll try cutting down the posts until the glans are over the end piece and see what happens!

Excellent.
Keep in mind, ( this is my understanding too ), an extender has been researched & intended to apply a light/moderate pulling force so that cells are stretched. One may try to use an extender as an alternative to weights, but theres a couple of hidden "gotcha's" there. One is slipping out & the associated discomfort. The other is you want to gently stretch cells, not cause tearing & scar tissue. I'd guess that since you've done hanging you are familiar with all this. This is why I appreciate any extender which allows the user to set the pulling force by using the inscribed lines on the spring cylinder assemblies. Alot of newbies over at the X4 labs forum like to put it on, crank it to the max, and then ask about slipping problems & glans discoloration. Anywhoo....
Sometimes moderation works best.

Hey Dangler,
I gave it a shot yesterday and pulled off two of the longest rods so that my glans were just peeking over the top and wrapped it up. I twisted it a bit to get a slight change in the tension. The pull was not as intense for sure, but there was a milder JAI-like pull that allowed me to be able to leave it on for almost 5 hours straight with relatively no discomfort. I think I get your point and maybe it is correct about milder tension in the long run. So, on your good advice
I am going to use it on this much lower tension for several weeks and see how it goes. I have attached a pic to see the milder stretch.

My 2 cents:
In the "matterofsize" video, it appears the person would like to also stretch his foreskin and has fastened to do just that. I have not found it necessary to do that, simply because I only want a longer shaft, not a longer foreskin. As the foreskin is well populated with blood vessels, capillaries and such, one would need to be really careful in fastening in like that. I prefer to skin it back, fasten it in, and adjust the pull. If you can't retract you foreskin, presuming you have one, then you will have to work out a solution that works for you.
If you search around youtube, there must be 20 or more videos on extenders, lots of variety for you to choose from.

I can't get the hang of this thing and it's starting to piss me off. I can't get a tight enough noose grip without is pinching the skin underneath. I can't get a good enough stretch without a ton of pressure on my head, feels like I'm going to pop my gland off.

Might be your idea of "good enough stretch", is too much stretch. Just what is a good enough stretch, if some one wanted to duplicate your endeavors ?
From what I've heard, wearers have to build up over a period of time, not go balls to the wall from the first day on. When I used to use a noose, I used to place a cotton pad on the underside of the glans/frenulum, to prevent it from being grabbed by the silicon tube and pinched during the fastening process. Hurts like hell doesn't it ?
If you take time to heat up & hand loosen your dick, it is less apt to want to shrink & slip out.

Yeah I'm not really sure, I'm almost expecting the feel of a manual stretch. Hell yeah it hurts. At this point I'm fed up with the thing and wish I didn't waste my money on it.
Wannabe, I was doing the same thing you were: trying to emulate weights or manual stretching. But think of it more along the lines of a sprint vs. a long distance run. One is very intense and hard but you can only do it for short periods of time. The other is an easier pace but you go for much longer. There is something to be said for the gradual deformation of the cells in the penis. Even though the tug feels like almost nothing, you are doing it for hours upon hours over the course of the day. Just continue to add your other PE in as well.
Alright thanks squid, i appreciate the advice. It's just hard to sit there and not really feel it and believe it's doing something. Hopefully I can figure this damn thing out

Alright calixto I'll be looking forward to it! Your PM really helped me, I appreciate u taking the time to help me out. As for the baby sock thing, pure awesome!!! That has made the difference from hurting to comfort. I can't thank you enough for that little tip, because honestly I didn't think it was going to work. I'm one of the guys that has alot of loose skin underneath, and it get s caught up in the noose. That has pretty much eliminated the problem.
