6 month progress. 1.5 years in
I am in my second year, I was not satisfied with the quality of photos from last year. I wish I could go back and start over properly, but it is what it is… I gained over 1/4” but under 1/2” of length and several mm of girth (very dissatisfied with that part). This year I spent more time reading and dialed in my routine.
Both pics were taken with the same set up; 1 week deload, giving time off to let residual edema clear and tissues to recover. 10mg Cialis to ensure optimum EQ. Girth gains seem minuscule but legit given the set up and how the last 6 months were dialed in. I’ll hopefully have a clearer idea in March 2027 when I take my 2 year pics…
Body pic taken (in poor lighting) to show that I am on the “leaner” side and still have roughly 1” fat pad… i can see the walls of my abs and veins running into my pelvis. some of us just have more fluff in that region for some reason.
4-5 days a week: 30-40min Manual Stretching followed by 20min pumping @8-10IN (varies depending on EQ and recovery)
1 day a week has been spent experimenting with clamping and pumping only. Going to switch into a “girth bias” phase until next march.
Off days (Thursday & Sunday) 10min restoration pumping @5-6.5IN 1-2x a day.
Extending has been difficult as of late. Feels like I hit a wall
So I used to get a great stretch in My Hog extender, but now when I go past a certain point ut just feels painful. I fought through it a few times but it doesnt feel like I should.
Oddly enough though, when I bundle extended (twist my member around 360 if not 540) then the stretching feeling returns but im limited to how far I can stretch due to bundling, since it might slip out of the cup.(happened to me already). Is something wrong?
Also nowadays it feels like my Balls are stretching more than my shaft when I dont bundle stretch lol. Idk whats going on.
Pumping on the other hand has been great. Sometimes I get edema but it goes away withen a few hours. Either way the pumping sessions feel amazing and I no longer have to watch porn to get erect
All help and advice is welcome (long as its constructive and applicable)
I consulted an Urologist
Hello guys,
I consulted an Urologist regarding my size and he prescribed me 2 medicines ( Tab Modula 5mg and Capsule Evion 400mg )
He said that taking these medicines will help in increasing blood flow and Maybe help in gaining some permanent size in the girth
What's your opinion Guys ??
Has anyone noticed a lot of gains from fixing EQ after doing PE for a while?
I have poor EQ due to being in an anti depressant and having suboptimal free testosterone. I’m currently tapering the antidepressant and working on increasing free testosterone. I’m wondering if people here started PE with poor EQ, and then once their EQ got better, they noticed the tissue increase from doing PE
Average girth
Hi guys,
Over the past few weeks I compiled different polls ran across different years in PE communities asking what was your pre pe girth to see if the average truly align with study we’re most of them find to 12 -12.3 cm or 4.7-4.8 inches here are the results.
As you can see from all these polls the most common frequent range is 4.5-4.9 as well as 4.5-5 , keep in mind many people that say girth =5 are using a inch tape instead of cm one so when they align with 5 it’s actually just bit smaller then 5 instead of bieng 12.7 cm they are acctually 12.5 which more of 4.9 and most will measure at there max spot which can be base . Some of these polls has don’t see results so for the biggest size always remove 10% of the observation and when u run the result 5+ MSEG is 30% of total population — overall over all the polls of u discount the highest measures as some will of course bullshit the average falls between 4.75-4.8 which aligns with every study out these
Pump durability
Which pumps have the most durability? Are electric pumps just not durable and are destined to stop working in less than a year? How about manual hand pumps, do they have much better durability? I can’t afford paying for shipping every 6 months.
Graduation of Cylinders
I've been reading about guys pumping for years even up to this point and I constantly hear about guys being so excited to graduate to bigger cylinders. Even yesterday a guy graduated from a 1.75 inch cylinder to a 2 inch cylinder....which I think is awesome. However, I do not see those same people, to that same degree of excitement, talk about a translation of those graduations to bigger cylinders to an increase of penis size (length or girth). It seems that their bodies are adapting and able to fill cylinders faster but this doesn't necessarily translate to a bigger penis. Am I wrong or is there anyone here who has been graduating to larger cylinders AND ALSO GROWING IN NON-PUMPED PENIS SIZE.....
Comfort Grip Extener UK Review
Disclosure: I was provided the Comfort Grip Extender UK and silicone bands free of charge for the purpose of this review. I was not paid for this review, and the opinions and ratings expressed are my own based on my personal experience using the products.
Hello everyone. Today I’m going to be reviewing the Comfort Grip Extender UK and also the 3-pack of silicone bands, invented by Richard Connell.
I personally use the Comfort Grip Extender UK with the HPE (Hog) Extender, although the grip can be used with an extender setup according to its intended design.
A big thank-you to Richard for creating these products and for being available to answer my questions and emails.
I also want to mention that Richard has said a Grande version is planned for release during the autumn season. This upcoming version is intended to accommodate men who need a larger size. The current version can still work for larger users, but based on my experience, getting everything positioned properly can require a little more time and effort.
What’s Included
Inside the package, you have the instruction manual, the top twisting portion that secures the device to the extender, the main grip itself, the green silicone band and the adapter piece for attaching an extender if you are using a different type.
The top portion is 1 and 15/16 inches diameter measuring across. The bottom portion is 2 and 1/8 inches diameter measuring across.
There is also an optional 3-pack of silicone bands available separately. These come in +1, +2, and +3 thicknesses. The higher the number, the thicker the silicone band.
Build Quality
The build quality is one of the things that impressed me most.
The plastic components feel very solid and, in my opinion, are definitely on the heavy-duty side. It doesn’t feel like a thin or flimsy piece of plastic that I’m going to accidentally break during normal use.
The silicone components also feel durable and well made. Based on the construction and materials, I would expect these pieces to hold up for a long time with proper use and care.
Obviously, long-term durability can only really be judged after extended use, but my first impression of the construction is very positive.
Fit and Setup
Before using the device, I recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions and making sure you have an appropriate protective barrier between your skin and the device.
For my personal setup, I found that using a silicone sleeve along with self-wrap material provided additional comfort and helped me maintain a more secure fit.
However, there is a balance here.
If you add too much material, the setup can become unnecessarily thick and make insertion into the grip more difficult. I found that I needed to experiment with the amount of wrapping to find what worked best for me.
I also found that gently squeezing at the base and gradually working the grip into position made the process easier.
For additional comfort, I personally use some protective material (self wrap) around the glans area as well, which helps prevent direct contact with the plastic.
Everyone’s anatomy and preferred setup will be different, so what works for me may not necessarily work the same way for someone else.
Securing the Device
Once everything is positioned correctly, the top portion can be screwed into the bottom grip section.
One important thing I would recommend is not over-tightening it.
You want it secure, but you don’t want to tighten it so much that it becomes unnecessarily difficult to loosen afterward or creates excessive discomfort or pain.
Once the grip is secured, you can attach your extender and adjust the extender according to its instructions.
Slippage — My Experience
This is probably one of the biggest things I wanted to discuss because it was something I specifically paid attention to during my testing.
I’ve been using the Comfort Grip Extender UK for nine days total, and during this time I’ve experimented with different amounts of protective wrapping and the different silicone bands.
For me, using an adequate protective layer on the shaft and some on the glans made a noticeable difference in maintaining a secure fit.
My preferred setup is a silicone sleeve combined with self-wrap material. I found that this combination provided additional grip and comfort.
However, I wouldn’t recommend simply adding as much wrapping as possible. Too much material can make the device significantly more difficult to fit properly.
The amount of wrapping required will depend on the individual. Some men may need less, while others may benefit from more.
For my particular setup, having enough of the shaft appropriately protected, along with wrapping the glans and making sure the top section was securely tightened, helped minimize movement during use.
Silicone Bands
The original green silicone band that comes with the device performed well for me.
However, I did notice a very small amount of movement during use with the green one, where the band shifted slightly away from the grip. This was minimal in my experience.
I also experimented with the additional silicone bands.
For me, the +2 band provided the amount of additional thickness and grip that I preferred.
I think experimenting with the different bands is worthwhile because everyone’s fit will be different. The band that works best for one person may not necessarily be the best choice for someone else.
Grande Version
Another thing I’m looking forward to is the upcoming Grande version.
Richard has mentioned that it is expected to be released during the autumn season and that it will be designed for men who require a larger size.
For me personally, a larger version would likely improve the comfort of the device because the current version is somewhat tight for my particular flaccid size. However, it still works. It just takes a little more effort to get positioned properly.
My Ratings
⭐ Quality — 5/5
The quality is excellent in my opinion.
The plastic components feel solid, substantial, and well made. It doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy, and I don’t anticipate having problems with it breaking under normal use.
The silicone components also appear to be durable and well constructed.
Obviously, only long-term use can determine exactly how durable anything is, but my initial impression is 5 out of 5.
⭐ Comfort — 4/5
I’m giving comfort a 4 out of 5.
The main reason I’m not giving it a 5 is that the current version is somewhat tight for my particular size.
It’s still usable, and with the right protective setup I find it reasonably comfortable, but I believe the upcoming Grande version would be a better fit for me personally.
For someone who fits the current size better, the comfort rating could potentially be higher. I also found that the silicone sleeve provides some compression, which helped make positioning and entering the device easier for me.
⭐ Device Support — 5/5
This is another area where I have been impressed.
Richard has been very helpful when I’ve had questions, and my experience has been that he responds to questions and emails relatively quickly.
Having an owner who is willing to communicate with customers and provide support is a major positive in my opinion.
⭐ Ease of Use — 5/5
The device is very straightforward to set up.
Once you figure out the amount of protective material and the silicone band configuration that works best for you, setup doesn’t take very long.
There’s no complicated process involved.
For my setup, I put on the protective sleeve, add additional wrap to my shaft and glans, position the grip, secure the top portion, attach the extender, and I’m ready to go.
⭐ Durability — 5/5
Durability — 5/5: After my initial testing, the materials feel extremely solid and durable. The plastic components are substantial rather than flimsy, and the silicone bands also feel like they’re built for repeated use.
⭐ Stability / Grip — 4.5/5
After experimenting with different protective layers and silicone bands, I found that I could achieve a very secure fit with minimal movement during my testing, especially using the silicone sleeve paired with self wrap. In my experience, this combination made a significant difference in maintaining a secure fit.
⭐ Adjustability — 5/5
I really like the multiple silicone thickness options because it allows me to fine-tune the fit instead of being limited to one configuration. The additional silicone bands are sold separately and are not included with the Comfort Grip Extender UK.
Overall Rating — ⭐ 4.5/5
Overall, I give the Comfort Grip Extender UK device 4.5 out of 5 stars.
The biggest positives for me are the build quality, simplicity, adjustability through the different silicone bands, and the customer support from Richard.
My only significant criticism is that the current version is somewhat tight for my particular size, which is why I’m especially interested in trying the upcoming Grande version in Autumn.
After nine days of use, I’ve found that getting the right combination of protective material, wrapping, and silicone band thickness is important for achieving the fit and comfort I prefer.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m very pleased with the Comfort Grip Extender UK after nine days of testing. The build quality is excellent, the device is straightforward to use, and having different silicone band thicknesses gives me useful flexibility when trying to achieve the fit I prefer.
I’m particularly interested in trying the Grande version when it becomes available because I believe the larger size could improve the comfort and ease of use for someone with my particular fit. Overall, I’m very happy with the product and look forward to seeing how the Grande version compares.
4 years of PE and still basically no girth gains — what am I missing?
I started PE in 2022 and was pretty on/off for the first few years. This summer I finally decided to stay consistent for 3 months and track everything.
I trained around 3–5 days a week with a few deload weeks. My main routine was about 1.5–2 hours of weighted extending at ~9 lb, plus 30 minutes of interval pumping at around 29 kPa, and about 15 minutes of clamping. I ended up logging roughly 92 hours of extending and 28 hours of pumping.
My stretched length did improve, so I’m not really worried about length. My problem is girth. My MSEG has basically stayed around 12.5–13 cm since I first started PE in 2022, and after this whole summer it was still 13 cm (I have gained 0.75 inches in length since 2022).
I’ve tried pumping, clamping between sets, BFR massage, and using a cock ring/soft retention afterward. I’m now considering focusing almost entirely on girth for a while.
I’ve included two images below showing my before-and-after measurements and my tracked PE work from this summer.
For people who struggled to gain girth and eventually figured it out, what actually worked for you? Would you change the volume, frequency, pumping style, clamping, feeder sets, recovery, or something else?
Is there any Canadian sellers?
I'm frustrated with the high shipping costs for something like a sleeve. For instance. Paying nearly 50 dollars in total for a silicone strap replacement. It's insane.
There's a missed opportunity for a Canadian with an entrepreneurial spirit to make a few dollars.
Dudes that have Actually gained girth. What was your routine?
I’ve gained an inch or so in length and decided it’s time to focus on girth. I’m interval pumping 10x2 minutes 2 days on/1 day off… but it doesn’t feel like enough work… I’m gradually working up the pressure while avoiding edema but, want to get some advice from those of you that successfully gained. What was your routine?
Should I increase tube size?
Currently i use a leluv 1.75.
My glans packs the tube, mid shaft is hitting the tube in a few spots, base has a ways to go still.
Due to the glans hitting the tube should i go up a size?
My concern is that the glans will create a seal and the rest of the shaft won't get the benefits.
I've heard of putting a small coffee straw in between the tube and glans so pressure can equalize throughout the tube. Should I go that route instead?
Any Russians here?
I am from Russia myself, and I have done a bit of digging, but when it got to the devices, I didn't manage to find what I was looking for (high tension extender and the vacuum hanging device). All I found was the dangerous extenders that cut off the blood flow. So fellow Russians, I would humbly ask for any links to sites where newbies like me from Russia can find what they need.
Erections falling short of SFL?
So my SFL is 7 inches but right now my erections are
reaching 6.3-6.4 inches. That’s a 0.7-0.6 inch difference
witch is quite a lot and I’m wondering if it’s a EQ thing,
even tho erections are stiff. I have 2 things that I think
might be playing a role which is 1 I have an acute erection
angle where the penis point straight up against the
abdomen since my ligaments are very short/tight. And 2 I
do have a slight dorsal curve but I don’t think it’s big
enough to make the straight line measurement that much
smaller but add that on top of the high angle I can’t really
push my penis down to a 90 degree angle to measure so
the tip of the head is definitely pointed upwards rather
than out. And really the only way to make my penis a 90
degree angle is to grab my balls from behind and pull
them down and slightly back. I will say that the ventral
penis can get to 7 inches but that’s because my balls
hang pretty low when relaxed and it reveals a lot more
ventral length that is normally hidden in the balls for men
that have high resting balls. So any tips on how to get
dorsal measurement to SFL would be highly appreciated.
Since the tissue is that long and all studies show that SFL
and full erections produced in office are pretty much
identical. Edit: I have never done extending or Manuals
So if I did it would make sense but no PE work has been
Done yet so still PE virgin.
What’s one thing you would do differently if you started over?
So I’m 30 and idk how I just discovered that PE was even a doable thing with (alleged) results. I have always been insecure about my length. My girth I found out works for most the girls I’ve been with, my current girl is sore and hurts after we are done, so I’m not looking for a huge gain in that area. I know everyone says to measure length based off BPEL but NBPEL seems the more logical way to do it since it is what every sees and feels, not likely girl is pressing all the way to my bone. So if that’s the case, then 5” rather than 5.5, which is even more concerning for me.i took pics so i can show verified success when it happens.
I just wanted some advice on 1 take away to someone who is just starting their journey. I know there are some lifestyle changes I need to make (lower body fat, cut alcohol, increase sleep, etc), but I just want to make it simple and see what that 1 thing is I should focus on in the first 3 months.
Schwarzenegger told Conan about pe in 1999
Go to the 6-minute mark. Arnold Schwarzenegger told Conan O’Brien in 1999 that he could hang a 10-pound barbell from his penis to make it longer. “Trust me, it works.”
Hit 7” in the pump, no one probably cares but it’s a huge deal to me. I remember when I hit 6” in the pump and how actually being 6” seemed impossible. I can see 7”, since I only measure every 6 months this all I have to go off of for gains month to month. Can’t wait for Oct to see where I land…
The only downfall of measuring every 6 months is tracking gains. Bpsfl vs pump length vs actual length and how long each of those took to catch each other.
There is no golden rule imo since everyone seems to have different results.
It is super hard for me to see guys post how they put in all the work consistently and see no gains for 6 months to year. One thing I have truly found is a week off can be a huge backslide. Since adding ADS daily my stretched flacid is insane I’m seeing results in the pump, no idea what that all means on the ruler though.
Do I need a need a new pump size?
My base girth is 4.25" and biggest being my mid shaft at 4.75*. I'm currently using a 1.75 inch pump leluv air pump, and after my first set of 5mins, on my 2nd set the base of my penis expand and hits the wall. For months I've not been able to go past 6.4" (although I only pump 4 times a week, 6 sets of 5mins at 10inhg). So I was wondering if I'm unable to go past 6.4" is because my base fills out the tube, but not the rest of my penis for some reason?
