Penis Extender - The Ultimate Guide

Get a permanently larger penis completely without surgery! Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it? But it’s not. It is true.

If you don’t want to go under the knife and risk a host of complications or side effects, a penis extender is the only other way to increase your size in the long run.

There are plenty of extenders on the market that can give you a bigger and better erection for a just night or a whole weekend, but if you want results that last forever, dive into this ultimate guide to penis extenders.

What Is a Penis Extender?

A penis extender is a device or type of aid that you attach to your penis and wear for several hours a day over the course of several months. Some men wear it under their clothes, while others use it after work or at night.

The function of the penis extender was actually discovered by accident, as it was originally developed as a postoperative instrument (a tool used after surgery).

A doctor had measured the penis length of patients before and after using it. The measurements showed that the penis actually became longer with use and retained that length afterwards. A "side effect" that very few patients would likely complain about.

How Does It Work? 

A penis extender works through permanent cell division, also known as cytokinesis. It can be a bit hard to visualise and understand the process, but the following scenario might help you grasp it better.

Have you ever seen someone wearing a so-called stretcher in their ear? That is an earring that gradually expands the hole in the earlobe. In everyday terms, this piece of jewellery is called a stretcher, but you could also think of it as a grower since it doesn’t simply stretch the skin; it actually forces the tissue to create new cells.

You may also have seen what an earlobe looks like once the earring is removed. It leaves a large, gaping hole hanging loosely along the face. And just like that hole doesn’t automatically shrink back, the tissue that has been stretched in the penis also remains elongated once you stop using the extender.

How to Use a Penis Extender?

It takes dedication and patience to achieve good results with a penis extender, but in return, the results last a lifetime. So think about what just a few months of effort can give you in the long run… Suddenly, setting aside a bit of time each day doesn’t seem so overwhelming, does it?

As mentioned earlier, an extender needs to be used over a longer period and several hours a day, depending on the results you aim for and how your body reacts to the process.

When you purchase a penis extender, it usually comes with a guide and a starter program that you should follow. In the first week, you’ll only wear the extender for one hour a day, but as the schedule progresses, you’ll work your way up to as much as six hours daily.

The extender consists of a ring that is placed at the base of the penis. Attached to this are two adjustable rods that determine the level of tension depending on how strong a stretch you want. A strap or band is placed just behind the glans and fastened to the rods, maintaining a constant stretch. This can be adjusted according to your initial penis length and your progress throughout the program.

During the process, it’s important to listen to your body. It’s easy to get impatient when you’ve finally started and just want to see if all the effort pays off, but it’s essential not to push it too hard in the beginning.

Therefore, you should carefully follow the manufacturer's guide and pay attention to your body's signals. If you notice discolouration, broken blood vessels, or significant soreness, stop immediately and take a break. When you're ready to continue, consider returning to a lighter stretch.

It is not dangerous to use a penis extender as long as you manage it correctly. That’s why we can’t stress enough how important it is to follow the manufacturer’s instructions closely.

Which Models Are the Best Ones?

The largest and original manufacturer of penis extenders is actually Danish and is behind the patented Penile Traction Technology used by the brands Jes Extender and Male Edge.

Jes Extender first hit the market back in 1995, and this model has been considered the "Rolex" of penis extenders ever since. Jes Extender models are for those who want the very best and refuse to compromise on quality.

You can choose between different versions, such as the Jes Extender Titanium or the Jes Extender Original Gold, depending on your preferred design and the extra equipment you’d like included. The results will be the same, regardless of which model you choose.

In 2008, the Male Edge models from the same manufacturer were introduced. While Jes Extender is made of metal and has a more clinical look, Male Edge is made from durable POM plastic and offers a more modern appearance. Male Edge is also available in various versions, depending on how much extra gear you want included.

What Results Can You Expect?

Both Male Edge and Jes Extender have documented results published in the British Journal of Urology, which concluded the following:

“It seems that penile traction devices should be proposed as the first-line treatment option for patients seeking a penile lengthening procedure.”

The study was conducted by two Italian doctors at the University of Turin, where 16 men used a penis extender for 4–5 hours a day over a period of 6 months. The results were as follows:

“The average length among the test subjects before the study was 7.1 cm (flaccid) and 9.6 cm (stretched). After the trial, the average length had increased by 2.3 cm (flaccid) and 1.7 cm (stretched). There was almost no change in girth.” (Source: Videnskab.dk)

However, results can vary significantly from person to person. On average, users experience a length increase of around 30% after 6 months of use, but some may see slower or faster progress. Some men experience a 10% increase after 9 months, while others may see up to 45% after just 3 months.

No matter which outcome applies to you, the bonus is that the centimetres you gain — you keep. And if you're not satisfied after 3, 6, or 9 months, you can simply continue the program.

Why Use a Penis Extender?

Far too many men feel unhappy about the size or shape of what they have between their legs, often because it doesn’t match what we’re shown in ads, porn, or other media.

So, let’s be clear: the average size is not 25 cm in length, it’s not constantly erect, and size has very little to do with your actual skills as a sexual partner.

Average Penis Size

Flaccid Length: 9,16 cm Girth: 9,31 cm

Erect Length: 13,12 cm Girth: 11,66 cm

With that in mind, you may still have a perfectly valid reason for wanting to use a penis extender.

Some use it for its primary purpose of gaining length, while others see it as a form of body enhancement, much like toning your biceps with dumbbells at the gym. You can also use an extender if you have a curved penis and want to straighten it out.

Different Options

If you're not convinced that this method is the right choice for you, there are, fortunately, other options when it comes to temporary solutions.

It’s nearly impossible to talk about this topic without mentioning penis pumps. These devices use stimulating vacuum pressure to provide a brief boost in size. A penis pump can be used before masturbation or sex to create a temporarily larger and firmer erection. If you're curious, you can dive deeper into the topic in our ultimate guide to penis pumps.

You might also want to consider a penis sleeve, which can be used during intercourse with your partner. A sleeve can add girth and length, depending on your chosen model. It’s super easy to put on and take off and requires no special preparation beyond simply putting it in place.
