I've noticed for some time (years) that the base of my shaft feels some irritation during my sessions using the extender, I suspected it was the knurling of the adjustment screws pressing against the skin of my shaft. Last night while laying in bed unable to sleep, I decided, what the heck, I'll get the extra after market screws put them in the drill press using coarse sand paper to remove the knurling. Last night and this morning I wore the extender after swapping out the X4 Labs screws to see if I experienced any of that irritation that so annoys me. Gladly I did not experience the sensation I always get, the itch, ache that just keeps growing on you till you can't stand it any longer.

There is a description of how to work the thumbscrews and how to set up the tension rods for the Sizegenetics here https://www.pegym.com/forums/penis-d...ml#post1187538 if this helps.

Hi BobbyR,
I was talking about the discomfort due to the adjustment screws contacting the penile shaft at the base. The knurling on the screw was irritating or scraping the skin making it eventually unbearable. I smoothed the knobs and the irritation was eliminated; this problem exists with all extenders that use the double threaded adjustment screws with knurling on the knobs.
Thank you for the unrelated response though.Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

I take it you are quite girthy, nine will hit and sometimes pinch on setup but when stretched they don't make contact? I can only go for about an hour in any one angle thou as the backwards pressure on my pelvic bone gets to muchStart (Oct 2015) NBPEL 5.5"

I don't think I'm girthy, it's just something that had been trying to isolate and deal with. I thought if anyone else was experiencing something like this it would be helpful.Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

I have been using an X4 Lbs extender for over four years and have never experienced any irritation caused by the thumb screws. When I am fully extended, there is always at least 1/16th of an inch leeway between the "screws" and my shaft.
In in my case, it is usually the tight base that starts to irritate my shaft after an hour. Accordingly, pfm, I believe it must be due to a fat girth.Valued Member of 12+ years at the PEGym12/'09 (start) NBP EL - 4.5, EG - 4.4

Not yet. I always felt padding would make it even tighter.Originally posted by BobbyR_SG_Rep View PostHave you tried using padding around the base portion of the device?Valued Member of 12+ years at the PEGym12/'09 (start) NBP EL - 4.5, EG - 4.4

I've only been using my X4 for a couple weeks and haven't noticed the knurl rub yet. But it does hurt like a mother if skin gets caught as I compress the spring bars. I've thought about splitting and cutting one of the foam tube covers for the silicone tubes and fit it over the bars.Start: BPEL 6.75', EG 5.8", BPFL 4.5", FG 4.7", BPFSL 7.0"

The words " modiify " and " modification ", are necessary everywhere in anything involving PE.
Sometimes even ones attitude may need modifying...

It would reduce the irritation though and even a thin layer can make a big difference.Originally posted by not2big View PostNot yet. I always felt padding would make it even tighter.

As I mentioned, I sanded the knurling off of the screws until it was smooth and no longer have the problem. I replaced the X4 screws with some aftermarket screws made of brass, brass is a lot easier to work with.Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.
