X4 vs Minotaur vs Leluv Gold

So, I'm planning to order an extender in the near future(as in days, or weeks at most).
The three products in questions are
X4
Minotaur
LeLuv Gold

I was originally just going to grab an X4, but I remembered Leluv had cheap extenders when I bought a pump from them, so I looked there. They look very, very similar. When I Googled for a comparison, the Minotaur one was mentioned, and it also seems quite similar. Aside from costing 3x as much, is there an actual advantage to the X4? It really doesn't look much different from the pics at all.

I'm leaning pretty strongly towards the other two, now. Especially since I'm increasingly thinking about getting a Phallosan, should I actually stick with extending(let's say I clock in 500+ hours).

Though the main thing that appeals to me about the Phallosan is the ability to strap it to your leg and actually leave the house with it on. Is this possible with other devices?

Anyone have experience with either the Minotaur or the Leluv? Especially if you've used X4 as well.

Edit: Just found one answer.

I bought the gold Minotaur awhile back. I think it was less than $45, and it came with a bunch of attachment styles. For the price I was very impressed with the quality, for being my first extender, and it held up well. I only needed to replace the base after I accidentally broke it. If you're brand new to extenders I would go with this one.

Thanks for the reply. I read your posts about buying it(including shipping updates, lol). But then there were no further posts.

I'm glad that you liked it. I would definitely prefer to go with a cheaper model at first, just to see if I actually use it. But I'd heard some of the cheapies are quite bad. These two looked nice, but I wasn't sure.

If anyone else wants to chime in, I'd appreciate it!

All I know is that leluv has been good to me so far. I have not boug hg t an extender from the but I have bought many things and everything was good quality.

If they sell it I would trust it.

I gave it up to work on girth after I hit 9".

That was my thinking as well. But Steve23 does have a good point on the lack of tension markers. It may not be a big deal, but if I'm taking this thing off and putting it back on several times a day, that seems laborious to do without visual markers.

It's the same price as the Minotaur, so I'm favoring the Minotaur now. I'd probably be happy with Leluv, but it seems like it's missing one important thing.

I'll sell you my lightly used x4labs on the cheap. PM for details.

I got it about a week ago. They had three different versions. I can't figure out the difference between the two silver ones. I'm not sure there is one. I decided not to do the gold one, because it looks like it is the same as the Leluv.

It seems to be nice quality. It comes with a bunch of extender screws of lengths between 1", 1/2" and 1/4". It's extremely customizable. As it turns out, it's surprisingly more discrete than I expected. It looks bulky as fuck, but when you haul it up to the pant waistline, it's invisible. You can definitely wear it outside(I've already done it).

I know someone in the other thread was asking if you could sleep in it... I don't think so. In order for it to stay on and actually stretch, it has to be on, pretty tight. Even if you slept on your back and stayed perfectly still, it wouldn't work, because you'd need to release it every hour and give yourself a break.

It has two straps and a noose, as well as some foam for insulation. I will say that it's kind of a pain to get it on initially. I keep getting my skin stuck between the belt and the side of the device. I'm not sure if this is unique to this device or just my user error that would be happening with any other stretcher as well.

I haven't used the other stretchers, so this is an unqualified statement, but I think this is a pretty solid device. Especially for a first time user who doesn't want to spend a few hundred on one. Even if the others are better, I don't think they'd be drastically better. I doubt there are many people who would hate this Minotaur and actually use an X4 or a Sizegenics.
