Why my doc said it was impossible?

[danny1553]

I have always been concerned about my dick length. At the beginning of my treatment I told about that to my doc. He took the measurement and assured me that my size is "more than average", though that did not convince me.
Then I asked about different kind of extenders that are on the market. He started to laugh and said that was a plain marketing BS. That whatever size you get by the mother nature, that's the most you can get, no matter what you do.
Still I decided to give it a try. I bought an extender and started using it for 45 min a day. Every week I was taking measurement of the length. At the beginning, my erected size was 14.5cm. Now, almost 3 month later it is 16.3. It is 3/4" of gain.
One might argue that I am just restoring my maximum capacity while being shrink due to ED. No matter, still technically I've gained some length when the doc said it was impossible.
That puts some thoughts about "unconditional trust" to the doctor...

He may have been referring to the likelihood that you will revert to your original size when/if you stop using the device.

Well, but that's pretty much like with any muscle. One you stop weights your muscles go back to being small and weak; and your waist becomes wide and soft
Exercising is not a problem as long as it is not contributing too much of inconvenience.

I think your gains are here to stay. I was born with a naturally low average dick. I was always self conscious in communal showers ( HS, army, gyms) and knew I was one of the shortest in the crowd. Started using an extender two years ago and wear it for about three hours a day five days a week. I have gained over 1/2 inch in length. I am no longer self conscience. I have gone for several weeks without using it and there was no shrinkage.

There was a study conducted at the University of Turin in Italy about five years ago. If I recall correctly, there were about 19 volunteers and the average gain in stretched length was 1.8 cm. The volunteers were asked to wear the extender for six hours a gay for six months. If you go to the pegym.com web site you can read about guys gaining an inch or more over extended periods of time. The tunica of the penis is comprised of smooth muscle which responds differently than skeletal muscle when subjected to tension and stress.

Danny, which extender do you use?

Hi dtwarren1942

I bought X4Lab as I was hoping that since they were "canadian-based" I would get better customer service experience.
Well, turned out to be not that optimistic. As a matter of fact this is just the same piece of overpriced cheap plastic like any other model on the market. On top of that, their customer support sucks, or better say - nonexisting. Over the phone you can get only not-so-intellegent sale agent, who will repeat like a parrot the script he/she has been tought. But if you need any support other than sale, the only option you have is e-mail. But the response seems to be "optional". Besides they charged my credit card twice so I had to fight to get my money back. And when they refunded I resulted in about $25 loss due to US-CAD conversion rate. Just stupid practice - selling products for US dollars while residing in Canada.
So I do not recommend this business to anybody. For the price they charge for the cheap China-made plastic one would expect much more on the customer support side.

I also use an X4. However, I have had no problems with the quality or the service. When I lost one of the springs, they replaced it for free. I subsequently replaced the cradle with a VacExtender mod kit which improved the comfort over the strap in method, though I do occasional suffer from bruising from the vacuum cap. From what I have read, the German Penimaster Pro is the extender dujour. About $300.

If I gained 3/4 inch, I would be pleased with the product. Did you do other exercises that helped you gain?

[danny1553]

No, not really. Just pumping & the extender.
Though the key moment with the extender (I think) is that it has be close to the highest tension. That means that every 5-10 minutes I have to unscrew the connection bolts to increase the tension. Otherwise the penis would not be under permanent tesion while wearing the kit.
