Here's three studies that show doing traction helps achieve longer cylinders:

and for VED there's a few but here's one:

I go over this in one of my implant videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2jlmY9O71U
Small mistake i made in that vid is that an AMS LGX does indeed increase in length.





You mention 17cm is the max girth anyone can achieve with the IPP. How do you find this information out?

I’m still confused how the max Titan diameter is 22mm and how that compares to finding out the potential girth based off the cylinder. Maybe I’m not understanding the math.

Could you help?

Whatever the diameter of the implant, there are your own tissues surrounding the implant tubes. Skin, you can see and other structures you cannot see, including spongiosum tissue which engorges (via a different blood supply than the corpus cavernosum that supplies rigidity in a properly functioning penis). All those tissues provide more girth than the diameter of the implant alone.

Thanks for the links to those articles, misterecz. They will further my education, though too late to do my penis any good.

One correction I will suggest to your initial sentence. Edema as a result of VED use is not a problem, before or after stretching. Edema is only caused if you apply too much vacuum. Whether the vacuum is applied before or after tension is, I believe, irrelevant. (Though I will accept the caveat that a whether the penis is stretched before or after application of the vacuum may make a difference in the level of vacuum the penis will tolerate. Unless the edema could be caused by after-vacuum stretching?) Do you have any information that would shed light on that question?

As LostSheep said the tissue surrounding the cylinders will give more girth than the cylinders alone. The information about the max girth i got from a youtube video of Dr Eid.

As for the question of edema. Edema is not really am issue. The problem is that if you have edema this can make it harder to apply a traction device. Due to the edema in the skin.

Additionally a traction device will relax and prime the tissue so that VED can be slightly more effective.

If you have pd, your Dr. may prescribe a traction device for it. I was prescribed the Restorex device. It worked well to keep the Peyronie's from getting worse, and actually reversed it in my case. Also, within 6 months my sfl increased by 2".

You have to use Restorex while flaccid, and when you use it as prescribed, it is safe.

Depends on your condition, but if you misuse and of these devices you will do more harm than good.

I have used a traction device and they work. Over about 5 years i gained about 1 inch boned pressed length. I think a routine of hanging weights plus an all day stretch like jes extender is best. Check out thundersplace or other PE forums. It take’s consistent use to get gains.

I wouldnt use with an implant but before makes sense to me. With an implant I would worry about floppy glands, if you get more length and implant stays the same, something would have to give.

Agree. Traction devices do increase penis length. It takes a long time and a consistent regimen. Medical studies are positive.

WatNext wrote:I wholeheartedly support the concerns put forth by other members regarding the use of traction devices. I don't care what the grifters selling or spruiking these devices claim, the risks are far too high for the perceived benefits. Light VED use is a different story and is recommended by medically trained specialists to maintain size before implant, promote oxygenation of penile tissues caused by impotence, and to regain size after an IPP.

The danger i see with any stretching, hanging, contorting, strangling penile devices is that of nerve damage of which on an organ as delicate as a penis is a very real possibility. And trust me on this one from experience, you do not want to have to live with this as in 99.9% of cases its permanent. Nerves do not like to be stretched beyond their maximum capability and doing so has a very high potential of breaking the small conducting fibres within the nerve sheath. The result will be impotence if not already so, decreased or absent sensation, and further hypoxic damage over time.

Those websites claiming even modest to huge increases in size are peddling bro science of which some unfortunately take as medically proven and tested. "2+ inch gain by wearing a traction device for 8 hours a day for 6 months". So on an average 6" penis (rounded up), even a 1" gain, that's stretching the dorsal nerve 20% past its natural length? Yeah, totally believable bro. Love to see the science behind that, im sure the medical fraternity would be interested also.

Maybe theres a place for them as a treatment for peyronies? I personally would choose an implant every time.

As i said its just my opinion but i believe they should be banned. But bros will be bros right....


Literally posted 3 studies about their safe use and efficacy for implants. But go ahead and don't believe in science.

I bought a restorex device in hopes of straightening out my peronnies. I used it about 30 minutes a day, for three months at a time. Then three months off before another three month stretch, pun intended…
There was a very slight improvement in the peronnies. Noticeable but just barely. There was 1/2 to 3/4” more length when erect.
It is somewhat painful because the part that clamps onto the head of the penis must be very tight in order for the head not to slip out while bending or stretching.
Probably not worth the purchase price for the pain involved and limited results, imho.

My experience with traction was actually pretty positive. About 20 years ago I was hit with Peyronie's, and hit hard. By the time I entered the chronic stage of the disease I had developed a plaque mass which covered about 2/3 of the dorsal side of my dick and a 90-degree bend to the left. I endured a long series of painful injections, which didn't help. Thinking I had nothing to lose, I started using traction. In all, I spent 700 hours wearing that torture device. The result? I reduced the curve to 60-degrees and could have sex again using pills and then injections. The change was permanent, still 60-degrees years later when I got my implant, which straightened my dick out completely. Not sure I could have been implanted at all with my original bend.
