Traction devices and increased girth

[LittleBigMan]

I am considering purchasing a traction device (Fast-size or SizeGenetics) but I have concerns about increased girth. I trust the opinions and experiences of the members of this web site much more than I ever would from the testimonials posted on the web sites that sell these products. Many individuals who are members of this site have considerable experience and I would appreciate it if they could tell me if they gained both in length and in girth. Would you consider those gains proportional? In a flaccid state did you gain in thickness as well as length? I would certainly like to gain another inch in length but not if I can't also increase my girth. Some clinical studies I have read indicate minimal gains in girth but definite gains in length. What have been your experiences? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a good day.

I've gained in both lenght and girth with a Fastsize...in both flaccid and erect states. I started in Oct. 2008 and am up by an inch in both length and girth. I know my first half inch in girth came directly from the Fastsize since I wasn't doing any direct girth work.

After that, I started pumping, jelqing, and clamping so that has to at least contribute to that last 1/2'' in girth.

Extenders have definitely worked for me. In fact, I just took mine off. Like I've said before though, don't waste your money if you can't wear it for several hours per day. You have to put your time in. Nothing is free, but they do work.

I have the Penimaster (German version) and I'll tell you hands down that it DOES help with both length & girth. In fact, when I first got it (back in August of '08, just as I had finished the 90 day newbie routine), I solely focused on getting the hang of it and working up to as many hours as I could each day. For the first 2 months, I did absolutely NOTHING but wear the Penimaster; I might have done a sporadic jelq session here and there during that time, but not even close to 10 sessions during that time. In a matter of weeks, I had worked up to a total of 6hrs per day. By the end of those 1st 2 months, I had acquired some visible, palpable gains; condoms felt a lot tighter and so was the feeling when inside my girl.

As burt already said, you MUST put in the time in order to achieve gains.

Thanks Burt- Your comments are very helpful. I can't afford increased length at the expense of girth. I am pretty thin and as much as I would like increased length it wouldn't do me any good if I could not also increase my girth. I have 4 or 5 hours in the evenings to wear the traction device. Would that be considered enough time?

Thanks W.M.P. I appreciate your feedback. I am leaning towards acquiring one. I think I saw a pretty good price for the FastSize on another website. Have a nice day.

Hey WMP, when you used just the extender, did you wear it 7 days a week? That does seem to be the recommended usage for people who are doing no other PE. I do jelqing and pumping 5 days a week in the morning, and wear the extender between 2-5 hours in the evening on those days. I take a 2 day break with nothing. I think if you combine extender use with manual PE, it might be good to take a small break.

LittleBigMan, I have the FastSize and like it. I would suggest that you wrap about a half inch wide strip of gauze just below your glans, about three times around. Having that under the noose helps.

Yes, I think 4-5 hours per day would be enough. You should see gains with that amout of time. I usually wore my extender everyday, maybe taking one day off per week if I felt I had overdone it. Evenings are a great time to stretch because you can relax and watch TV, surf the web, etc..

How strong is the stretch? Is is like manually holding a good strong pull? I was considering this as well for adding to my other PE during the day. But my big thought is since I feel where my most important stretch is 12 o'clock if the extender is going to pull hard enough and in the right direction for my gains.

Nope; it's a milder stretch that you build up throughout the session.

The kind of stretch you get from an extender doesn't do much for the ligs; the target is the whole shaft itself (Tunica and everything contained in it) so I wouldn't worry about the LOT side of things. You slap the thing on, let it point down and just go about your day.

Pretty much 7 days a week. Some days I would give it a break because the actual skin would get a little sore after so much stretching. The thing works great as long as you learn how to use it properly and wear it for several hours a day. Time under tension is most important at the beginning, when you dick is going through a break-in period. Once you've used it for a couple of weeks, the whole shaft will be loosened up enough so that it doesn't take long to reach the kind of stretch that usually takes a couple of hours during the beginning stages. I've been wanting to dust it off and start using it again cause the thing DOES work; I just gotta make the time cause back then when I was using it like a pro, I had been recently laid off so I had all the time in the world to wear it. Now I'm working 7 days a week.

Hey Burt- Again thanks for your input. Would you mind if I asked you some more questions? Do they advise you to warm up before putting the stretcher on? Would you recommend doing that? Did you have to remove the device every couple of hours? Is this what is recommended by the Fast-Size manufacturers? Are the Fast-Size customer support folks readily available? Does it come with an in depth instructional booklet? DVD? If I am asking too many questions please just let me know and I won't bother you. Thanks in advance Burt.

Greetings TechGuy- Thanks for your response. I asked burt some questions, and if you don't mind could I ask you as well? Did you remove the device every couple of hours? For how long? Is the customer support at Fast-Size reliable and readily available? Are the instructions pretty clear and easy to follow? Please don't bother to respond if I am in anyway bothering you.Thanks in advance.

No problem. I never used their support, but the video and instructions that came with it were clear. Takes a little bit of practice to get used to putting it on, but once you do, it's very easy. They give you a break-in schedule, so just follow it. Once you're used to it, you'll find you can wear it for 2 hours at a time, then take a short break like 15 minutes, and you can do another session. Since I do other PE, I only wear it 2-5 hours, as time permits. They tell you to use "a good comfortable stretch" but don't say what that is. From what I have gathered, most guys will stretch to plus or minus 1/2" of their normal erect length. After a few weeks, I found I was able to stretch at 1/4 - 1/2 inch over my erect length, and still wear it for 2 hours without discomfort. Take it easy and work your way up.

Thank you. I'm sure I will probably be asking you some more questions over time, but certainly you can understand why I would like to get it right the first time. Have a nice day.
