Hello folks,

I just recently started using the Jes Extender, and I thought I'd begin posting my experiences as a sort-of-blog, to motivate myself and others.

When I received the device, I was definately impressed with its quality. It came with the comfort strap, which--for the most part--works well, but I do have problems with occassional slippage. I ordered the Custom Velcro attach strap and will comment on it when it arrives. But anyhow, figuring out the device was pretty straightforward.

Before beginning with the device, my measurements were 6 5/8 erect length, 4 3/4 girth, and abysmal flaccid length, lol. My goals were primarily to improve my girth and flaccid hang, being fairly satisfied with my length. Also, I've always had a problem with my (what I'm assuming is my) left-side ligament on my penis: it feels much "tighter" and tends to retract much more so than the right side. It's uncomfortable and really diminishes my flaccid hang.

Already I can see some results. After a week and a half of a very achy, sore left ligament, it has finally relaxed and feels much more comfortable now. My flaccid hang has greatly improved as a result. Further, I've already gained a consistently-measured 1/8" to my erect length, and my flaccid stretched length has improved from (before JE) 6 3/4" to slightly over 7" already. I think alot of the increase has come from relaxing/stretched ligaments. In any case, I'm digging it. :)

One casualty was my comfort pad, however. I've washed it after every use and then squeezed the water out, but I think the seam was stressed by all this--it broke 2 days ago, so now I'm using just gauze for comfort/protection. Oh well.

So all-in-all, two weeks in I've already seen some progress. Will keep you posted.

Started 4/4/2008 (EL) 6 5/8" (Girth) 4 3/4" (Flaccid hang) 3"ish
4/18/2008 (EL) 6 3/4" (Girth) 4 3/4" (Flaccid hang) 4.5" ish

Hindsight is 20/20 (and filled with stretchmarks)

Well, I've been stretching for over a month now. I've gained some valuable insights into using the device which should prove useful:

1. Comfort Strap versus the Velcro Strap
The Custom Velcro strap definately works better than the Comfort Strap as far as preventing slippage grip goes. I only have to readjust to allow for the increased length that comes as the penis relaxes/stretches while in the extender. Increasing length/tension was difficult with the Comfort Strap, because my penis would begin slipping. With the Velcro Strap, I've been able to begin by just barely stretching to fit my Set 1 extension bars, (1) 2" bar + (1) 1/2" bar, and by the end of Set 1, I've completely stretched as far as these extension bars will allow. Beginning Set 2, I remove the 1/2" bar and replace it with a 1" bar. Man, that's medieval torture to stretch into that without using Set 1's setup first, lol. After doing Set 1 though, I can stretch (with some difficulty) into Set 2's setup, but by the end of that hour, I've almost stretched to the max those bars will allow! The grip is FAR superior with the Velcro strap; just remember to massage/restore circulation frequently because it does grip very tightly, and you will begin to feel cold/numb at higher tension over time.

2. Padding
Since I broke my initial Comfort Pad, I've tried making various homemade pads (with parts from Home Depots to Walgreen's, lol) over the past month, with varying levels of results. I've ran into one of two problems: (1) either the padding sticks to the penis, bunches, or restricts circulation, or (2) it's not flexible enough to allow for a good grip. However, I have come up with an almost perfect prototype for a new Comfort Pad, but still have to work out the wrinkles (literally and figuratively!). In the meantime, I've ordered more Comfort Pads.

3. Basal ring
I've also found a way to overcome the nagging soreness and pressure of the basal ring: I've modified an air-mattress slip-prevention rubber mat to surround my penis before strapping into the extender. Because it's rubber, it's (1) flexible--doesn't hurt or cut of circulation, and (2) absorbs a great deal of the pressure from the extender.

Progress:

Well, my disproportionate length on both sides of my penis continues to get better. Where my penis attaches on the left side has still not fully caught up with the length on the right, and still wants to retract somewhat, but it doesn't retract nearly as much as it did prior to stretching. In fact, it provides little resistance when manually stretching it. However, I can tell it's still shorter than the right side, because the ligament feels fully stretched while the right side feels loose still at max. extension. There are now stretch marks on the left side of my shaft, but not on the right, so I can tell the left side is still bearing the brunt of the tension. But its better, and I believe coming months (and hours in the stretcher) will improve or completely even things out. As far as measurements go, I think I've made further progress. Last post, my penis was (4/18) (EL) 6 3/4" (Girth) 4 3/4", and yesterday (5/10) I was (EL) 6 7/8" (Girth) 4 3/4." I think my gains to date have come from ligament stretching, which makes sense, since my E. Girth hasn't changed yet. Once I even out ligament lenghts, I imagine c. cavernosa stretching will begin--and starting filling out girth gains. I'm happy though, progress is progress.

Started 4/4/2008 (EL) 6 5/8" (Girth) 4 3/4"
4/18/2008 (EL) 6 3/4" (Girth) 4 3/4"
5/10/2008 (EL) 6 7/8" (Girth) 4 3/4"

Just a minor update:

I broke the 7" mark, good times. I've also added another 1/2 set of extension bars to the setup. My flaccid hang has greatly improved, but due to variation from temperature, etc...it's not worth measuring. But it hangs, and doesn't retract all that much anymore. Sometimes I look down and don't even recognize my own penis anymore, lol.

My flaccid stretched length is now about 7 1/2", 3/4" longer than when I started in April. That's great, because I've noticed that (for me) gains in erect length creep behind stretched flaccid length by 1/2" - 1/4", which should mean that I'll be posting another 1/8" to 1/4" gain in a month/month and a half.

Btw, my penis is conditioned enough to consistently train with 1800mg: anything less doesn't even feel like a stretch anymore.

Hi mate. Any chance of info on the padding would be really good. Photo's and instructions.

What sort of time are you use the devise for? I mean, how many hours a day, as you seem to be getting swirft gains.

Greetings,

Been awhile since I've posted an update. I think I now know why there is a lot of initial user posting, then vanishing from boards. I think at first there is curiousity/uncertainty about PE and a desire to see whether or not it works. If it does (and for me it has), suddenly tracking progress to confirm whether or not it is working is not all that important anymore. I know I'm growing; I don't need to keep checking to see whether or not it works. For me, it just does.

Back in June, I was 7 1/2" flaccid stretched; now I'm 7 3/4" to 7 7/8" (on a good day) flaccid stretched. 1/4"+ in 2 1/2 months. I had just broken 7" erect; now I'm 7 1/4 erect (full erection). I honestly haven't even measured girth, as any gains have seemed negligable.

As far as customized padding, I (for now) gave up on making a modified Custom Padding for the head attachment. I did, however, make a really good base padding, which involved a combination of moleskin padding wrapped in that spongy, rubber shelf-liner. It can take the brunt of 1500+mg and I really don't feel any discomfort, if my testicles are out of the way of pressure, of course.

What has made all the difference in the world is a modified velcro attachment I made to replace the JES version. I can consistently--with no slippage--pull to 1500+mg, and I think that is why I've almost made a whole inch of flaccid stretched progress in not-even 6 months. I'd be more than happy to post instructions on how to make one, if the mods permit.

(I do not, however, recommend any particular pressure. Listen to your body; the gains will come IF you don't destroy your penis in the process. Your body will let you know when to increase the pressure.)

Started 4/4/2008 (EL) 6 5/8" Stretched flaccid 7"'ish
9/11/2008 (EL) 7 1/4"; Stretched flaccid 7 7/8"

Impressing results eaglesfan2003! How is your progress now?? And how often do you measure? I have only been stretching a few weeks... but I will probably not do a measure until after I start getting some proper traction, I'm only at 750 grams at the moment... any more, and I'll probably need to buy a 0.5" bar (the 1" will probably be too much!)

Hi Tom

I would be very interested in knowing more about your modified velcro attachment... could you post or send me by email some photos and/or instructions? Many thanks!
