NEED HELP! - Extender "Wide Girth" Base Users

[night_hawk Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close night_hawk]

This is a question to users of the wide girth base for X4 labs extender devices, or wide girth models from other companies...

I'm currently using an X4 labs extender with VacExtender upgrades on it and the standard girth base. As I'm progressing through my sessions, now logging 6 hours per day, I'm finding the uncomfortable pain below my penis (where the extender cutout rests) almost unbearable. I've read of people using the Wide-Girth base and pulling their testicles through the girth base so that the cutout rests below the scrotum instead of below the penis.

I'm just wondering if anyone out there uses that method of extending, or if anyone out there owns a wide-girth base model extender and can give their opinion as to whether it may be possible to pull your testicles through the device.

If anyone out there knows what I'm talking about with the under-penis pain and has any remedies as to how to resolve the problem while wearing the extender that would be great too. When I put my extender on I make sure to completely cover my testicles and the underside of my penis with cocoa butter and then aloe vera lotion. Lets just say when my alarm rings at the 6-hour mark I am ecstatic to take this thing off because the pain can sometimes get that bad.

Look carefully to make sure you have not developed a patch or irritated skin from increased wearing and increased pulling of the scrotum tissue as a result of the penis being pulled by the extender. I ran into this once, where the tissues on the scrotum side of the extender were very sensitive.
If thats the case, take a week of for healing, maybe consider the use of powder, or break up your wearing times into shorter amounts of time.

I offset that discomfort by alternating an hour or so stretching up then down. I do have the wide base at home. I might try that tomorrow. See how it goes. I know I cannot do more than 2 hours stretching down without discomfort. Then I have to let that area rest for a while. I post in a day or two how that goes. Thanks for the idea.

I don't have the wide base, but I have been able to gets my balls, ONE AT A TIME, in the base and wear it like that just to see if it would work. I do this by putting one testicle through and some extra scrotum skin, then I push the other testicle through. Then comes the hard part, pushing your penis through.

BUT I bet this isn't a problem with a wide base.

The only pain I noticed was that it was just a little uncomfortable when it rests on where the legs meets the pubic region, but WAY LESS painful than the regular way, how it pulls on the scrotum skin.

I tried this out about an hour ago. Girth base. It's not so bad yet. Pull your penis through first, then 1 ball, then the next. As you push the extender in to fasten the strap or noose make sure you squeeze your sack so it doesn't get pinched. That really hurts. Once in and you go to twist the knobs to adjust the tension make sure you have no hair anywhere near!

After an hour I don't feel the soreness building I normally do. I do however feel like my nuts have been packed in a can. They are not as uncomfortable as the pressure point where the base normally rests on the top of your sack at this point. So so far I have to say this is preferred. I will try this out for an extended time tonight and tomorrow and report back.

What type of gains have everyone here seen with extenders and how many weeks did it take?

[funflyer Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close funflyer]

The first 3 months was 7/8 inch. That was with the SMP extender. I'm about a week into it since starting up again after a short break this time with an X4 labs with quad support.

Funflyer thanks a lot for trying that out and attaching pics. How does it feel compared to the normal setup? any irritation below the scrotum with wearing it that way? did you find you could wear your extender for a longer period of time?

I'm wearing mine for 6 hours per day and I've actually developed enough irritation in the last couple days that i'm going to have to take a week off from extender use and just stick with my ADS sleeves.

Your help is much appreciated Funflyer, if it's working for you I might invest in the wide girth base and wear my extender the same way.

Well I just finished 2 hours 15 minutes. I have no where near the discomfort under my scrotum that I would have on top at this point. There is just enough irritation there to let me know something has been pushing on it for two hours but totally bearable. I feel like I could do another 2 hours. I probably will try. This may be a key to getting massive hours in. I rotate from stretching down to stretching up all day. This gives my scrotum time to rest. I think if I rotated it with this method I could definitely last more than 5 or 6 hours. I will put it back on and take a 2 hour nap. then try it out in the morning. I'll keep you update to see if with time it gets just as irritated. If nothing else this might be a rotate basis every other day or two just to give your scrotum a rest. It is definitely a good thing.

Nice!

Tried this once but I managed to pinch some skin in the part where the rails meet the base... and didn't want to try again, however this thread has made me reconsider.

Will report results when I have them.

Okay I have worn it with the girth base 5 hours now since midnight. The bottom of my scrotum is becoming sore. Not untolerable while wearing the thing. But as I go to take it off. Trying to fit my balls back through creates pain. Not untolerable yet. But it hurts non the less.

A couple of things to note. When I stretch this way it seems to pull skin from my abdomen up onto my shaft more. I already have a girth of 5" on the base of my shaft not leaving too much room for my scrotum. I can where this way and have less restrictions in which way I can move as opposed to the regular method. Using the girth base it is less comfortable to sit down than standing due to my sack pressing down on the plastic hump of the base. Using the regular base I found it was more comfortable to sit than stand since it wouldn't rub or chaff the top of my scrotum. I did find on my old extender putting a little bit of moleskin on the base not my scrotum that it helped a little with this. Unfortunately is was so irritated by the time I started it stayed irritated just was a little more comfortable.

As I said earlier today. This combined with the regular base may be the key to getting many more hours in during one day without the discomfort. Time to go put it on again and get some more gains.

At 12:30 I had to switch bases. The discomfort was growing by the minute if you know what I mean. That still left me 6.5 hours in a 12 hour period with no prior conditioning to wearing an extender in this fasion. I think that is great! Hopefully with a little practice I can make 8 hours this way. Not a bad first day. I switched bases and plan on doing another 5-6 hours today.

I've taken a different approach to dealing with soreness around the base.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro Inside the box (glued to the lid) was a large black foam pad. I decided to remove the pad before throwing the box in the garbage to see if it can help with extending in any way. Yesterday I decided to cut a couple 4" x 4" squares out of the foam and then cut a hole right in the middle for my penis. The hole in the middle is slightly smaller than the hole in the base of the extender (I'm using the X4). I slide the two pads I made over my penis and push them all the way to the base, then I put on my extender and adjust the tension until I'm at max tension.

Doing this has pretty much eliminated any discomfort at the base of the penis. Now I get a really good stretch and the only discomfort that comes after an increased amount of time is around my glans (I'm using the noose).

I added padding to the sides when I used my extender, the discomfort seemed to largely be coming from the bottom. Easy peasy

How thick is this pad wuthaveidone? Would a mouse pad suffice? I've got a 1/8" foam-rubber mouse pad sitting beside me.
