What is a penis extender routine?

A penis extender routine is a series of exercises aimed at lengthening the penile tissues - usually including manual stretches or a penile traction device - to potentially enhance size or improve erectile function.

It's useful to think of a penis stretching routine in the same way you'd think about a gym routine - a personalized step-by-step guide program will help you enhance a part of your body.

In this case, that body part is the penis - and the complex tissues and muscle fibers within.

In the same way that you wouldn't expect to take a random, infrequent approach to improving your fitness, you can't take an inconsistent approach to penile traction therapy but expect it to bring results - which is why a routine with a penis extender device is so important.

Are all penis stretchers suitable for a penis stretching routine?

No - and that's because not all penile traction devices are equally effective. The same routine with two different devices could bring significantly different results - and that's almost always down to the design and quality of the device being used.

For example, even two devices that look very similar could be made using different materials and tested to different tolerances - which means that despite looking the same, penile extender devices may perform differently.

As such, it's essential that you choose your penile stretching device carefully.

It's important to look for a device from a trusted manufacturer with a reputation for excellent design, high-quality materials, and knowledge in the men's sexual wellness industry. Put simply, this is a device you're going to be strapping your penis into - it's very important that extensive thought has gone into safety and effectiveness.

Why do some men engage in penis stretching?

There are lots of different reasons people engage in penis stretching. For many men, the idea of extra size - and the sexual confidence boost that goes with extra size - is a key motivator.

For other people, stretching can help with conditions like Peyronie's disease - easing the discomfort that often accompanies penile curvature.

Of course, everyone's motivation is slightly different - but penis stretching is not a new practice. From perceptions of increased masculinity to reducing the chance of a shortened penis following prostate surgery or reducing the effect of penile prosthesis surgery - there are many reasons behind a desire to stretch your penis, all of them perfectly valid.

Establishing a penis extender routine

While the reasons for using traction-based penile extenders are varied, the method of reaching each personal goal is very similar. This is largely down to the simplicity of how the device works. Applying effective traction is shown to result in penile lengthening, an easing of Peyronie's disease symptoms, increases in penile girth, and increased flaccid penis length.

 

As such, following a beginner's penis extender routine is strongly recommended - often because this will begin to show the results you're hoping for - but also because it gives you a chance to understand how your body reacts to consistent, effective stretching.

The following routine is a perfect starting place for anyone using a penile extender device - whether you're new to stretching or you've tried before with limited success.

We've broken this routine down into easy-to-follow stages, with clear step-by-step instructions for each stage.

Step-By-Step Instruction on How to Wear a Penis Extender

Week 1-2: Initial Adaptation Phase

This adaptation phase is important for two significant reasons: first, it gets you used to wearing your device, and second, it gives you a chance to see how your body reacts to the gentle initial stretching.

Although there could be a temptation to jump forward and start putting more tension on your penis from the outset, it's important you don't. This adaptation phase will help you avoid overstretching and having a bad or ineffective experience further down the line.

Daily Routine:

Wear Time 1-2 hours per day 
Stretching Pressure Light tension (approximately 10-15% increase over standard penis size)

Instructions:

Preparation:

  1. Ensure your device is clean and in proper working order.
  2. Warm up your penis with a warm cloth for 5-10 minutes to increase blood flow and elasticity.

Application:

  1. Secure the base of the device around the base of your penis.
  2.  Attach the headpiece to the glans (head) of your penis, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight.
  3.  Adjust the tension bars to create a light stretch, approximately 10-15% increase over your standard penile length. For example, if your standard flaccid length is 10 cm, the tension should stretch it to 11-11.5 cm.

    Routine:

    • Wear the device for 1-2 hours daily.
    • Take breaks every 30 minutes to check for comfort and circulation. Adjust as necessary.
    • After each session, massage your penis gently to restore blood flow.

    Hydration and Rest:

    • Stay hydrated throughout the day.
    • Ensure adequate rest and avoid overexertion of the penile tissues.

    Week 3-4: Intermediate Phase

    Now you're used to fitting and wearing your penile extender device, this second intermediate phase begins to apply more traction pressure.

    You're likely to feel more comfortable with your device at this stage - but don't be tempted to take shortcuts. It's still important to make sure your device is perfectly clean and operating as it should before each day's wear - and you should still make sure to warm your penis before putting your device on.

    Daily Routine:

    Wear Time  2-4 hours per day
    Stretching Pressure Moderate tension (approximately 20-25% increase over standard penis size)

    Instructions:

    Preparation:

    • Follow the same preparation steps as in the initial phase.

    Application:

    • Adjust the device to apply a moderate stretch, approximately 20-25% increase over your standard penis size. For example, if your standard flaccid length is 10 cm, the tension should stretch it to 12-12.5 cm.

    Routine:

    • Wear the device for 2-4 hours daily.
    • Take breaks every 1 hour to check for comfort and circulation. Adjust as necessary.
    • After each session, massage your penis gently to restore blood flow.

    Hydration and Rest:

    • Continue to stay hydrated and ensure adequate rest.

    Week 5-6: Advanced Phase

    As you enter your fifth week of penile traction therapy, you'll hopefully be feeling more comfortable with the 20-25% stretch that's been applied to your penis over the previous two weeks - and now be ready to increase that stretching pressure again.

    Again, don't be tempted to take shortcuts when using your device. Remember, these are incremental gains, meaning no matter how enthusiastic you are about results, it's important not to go beyond the recommended increases. At this stage, the additional time should be more than enough to keep your results going in the right direction.

    Daily Routine:

    Wear Time  4-6 hours per day
    Stretching Pressure High tension (approximately 30-35% increase over standard penis size)

    Instructions:

    Preparation:

    • Follow the same preparation steps as in previous phases.

    Application:

    • Adjust the device to apply a high stretch, approximately 30-35% increase over your standard penis size. For example, if your standard flaccid length is 10 cm, the tension should stretch it to 13-13.5 cm.

    Routine:

    • Wear the device for 4-6 hours daily.
    • Take breaks every 2 hours to check for comfort and circulation. Adjust as necessary.
    • After each session, massage your penis gently to restore blood flow.

    Hydration and Rest:

    • Continue to stay hydrated and ensure adequate rest.

    Week 7 and Beyond: Maintenance Phase

    As your reach week 7 of your penis extender routine, you'll have totaled between 98-168 hours of wearing your device and applying traction to your penis, depending on the daily duration you've opted for.

    At this stage, many people report positive results - with increased penile length, enhanced penile girth, reduced unwanted curvature, and visible differences in erect penis length. If the results aren't as significant as you hoped at this stage, you may decide to go back to the previous stage and maximize the tension and times recommended for a further two weeks.

    Assuming you're happy with your initial result, this is the time to switch to a 'maintenance phase' of traction therapy, applying a high level of tension to ensure that your improvements don't reduce with time.

    Daily Routine:

    Wear Time  6-8 hours per day (if desired)
    Stretching Pressure High tension (approximately 35-40% increase over standard penis size)

    Instructions:

    Preparation:

    • Follow the same preparation steps as in previous phases.

    Application:

    • Adjust the device to apply a high stretch, approximately 35-40% increase over your standard penis size. For example, if your standard flaccid length is 10 cm, the tension should stretch it to 13.5-14 cm.

    Routine:

    • Wear the device for 6-8 hours daily.
    • Take breaks every 2-3 hours to check for comfort and circulation. Adjust as necessary.
    • After each session, massage your penis gently to restore blood flow.

    Hydration and Rest:

    • Continue to stay hydrated and ensure adequate rest.

    Penis Stretching Safety Tips

    When it comes to your health, it's extremely important that you put safety first - and this is no different when you're using a penis extender. The following list of 7 tips will help you to make sure stretching your penis is a safe and rewarding experience.

    1. Don't Rush

    We've covered this point in our routine guidance - but it can't be overstated. Rushing to apply more tension than recommended doesn't just increase your chance of discomfort - it actually makes a routine less effective.

    The right amount of tension stretches the soft tissue of your penis at a rate your body can cope with.

    At best, applying too much tension just tests the elasticity of your skin without encouraging growth - but could also potentially increase your chance of injury or discomfort.

    2. Listen to Your Body

    It's very important that you listen to your body and notice the way it reacts as you work through your routine. If you experience pain, numbness, discoloration, or any other symptoms you're not expecting, stop using your device and speak to a healthcare professional.

    3. Consistency

    When it comes to making any kind of changes to your body, quick fixes and extreme options are never as effective as lower-intensity consistent effort. This exact same principle applies to penile traction therapy.

    Sticking to your routine as closely as possible is key.

    This might mean some lifestyle adjustments in the short term, especially to allow for the daily hours of traction therapy - but this regular use is an important part of getting the results you're hoping for.

    4. Hygiene

    It may sound obvious, but keeping your device clean and in good working condition is an important part of an effective routine. Clean it according to the manufacturer's recommendations and visually inspect it every day to make sure everything is working as it should.

    Bacteria can build up easily on anything that's in contact with your genitals - so a quick and effective clean before and after use will help you avoid irritation or possible infections.

    5. Patience

    Everyone's body is different, and so too are the conditions we create for ourselves that encourage cell production, muscle hypertrophy (growth), effective blood flow - and the countless other factors that play a part in effective penis stretching.

    As such, patience is absolutely key. Results might come slower for you than they do others, but this routine gives you a fantastic baseline that you can use to compare other factors that support your growth, such as the amount of rest you get, the quality of your diet, daily stress levels, and more.

    6. Prioritize Rest

    The results of enhancing yourself in any way rarely, if ever, happen while the body is under stress - whether that's when you're lifting weights at the gym, learning something new, or stretching your penis. Instead, it's the healing and regeneration process that brings the gains.

    As such, the right amount of rest is absolutely essential.

    Your body is developing new soft tissue fibers during this time, so it's crucial that you prioritize high-quality rest as you work through your routine.

    7. Speak to Your Doctor

    Although following a penile extension routine correctly minimizes any possible issues - it's always a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider about your plans. They will be able to look specifically at your health history and help you understand if there are any reasons you shouldn't explore using a device, no matter how unlikely.

    How to Make Penis Stretching Work: A Summary

    Penile traction therapy is one of the only penis enhancement methods that's been scientifically proven to offer positive results.

    These results are not just in one area either - traction devices are shown to increase penile length, enhance penile girth, improve some of the symptoms that can come after prostate surgery and associated penile augmentation, and improve some of the symptoms of Peyronie's Disease, many of which can otherwise lead to pain and erectile dysfunction.

    The right routine will help you apply the correct amounts of tension to your penis for the most effective amount of time each day.

    It will also account for the changing physiology of your penis - building the amount of tension and time spent under tension as the routine progresses.

    Although it's tempting to jump ahead with a routine like this one, patience is the key to effectively using a traction device. As is often the case with changes to your body, small but consistent changes - like the increases in tension and time suggested - are the best way to make a lasting difference.
