Pain after 6 hours extended

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

I use size genetics. I can usually get past the first 4 hours fine with not much pain or irritation. I monitor my dick for coldness and color change in the head every hour or so and take it off to recirculate blood at least every 2 hours. After the first 4 hours, the skin around the base of the extender(where the ring is) begins to become irritated, like a light burn sort of. I've also experienced a similar feeling on my dick where the strap is. But this area can become more painful than the base.

I don't believe I'm using too high a tension setting, it's only at the lowest line(indicating least tension), or even less. I also don't believe the Velcro strap is too tight, I feel like I might slip out if I make it looser, and in general the color looks fine when strapped in.

I've been taking it off for a few hours after I reach 4 hours to allow it to recover and what not. But even after that I can hardly reach 2 hours when I put it back on, and after that each hour gets tougher to endure the pain.

I use the little silicone/cloth stretchy protector that comes with the extender, some sports pre-wrap, and the foam comfort pad.

I've read about using anti-itch cream to help repair the skin. Is there any other tips on lasting in the extender? Do a lot of you have this problem, or do I just have sensitive skin down there? Any other set up or material to wrap my dick in that can help me get more time?

I want to be able to wear it over 8 hours easily and consistently. But at this rate, not sure the pain is worth it.

When I was reaching high tension in the extender I felt the need to place a thin layer of foam padding (with a hole cut out in the middle) to help with the discomfort of the base pushing into my fatpad. If you use that technique you'll have to reduce the rod length a bit to compensate for the padding.

I don't have much advice for the strap issue. I'm not a fan of the noose or strap attachment for extenders so I opted out early for a vacuum attachment. You could try taking off your extender every hour instead of every 2 hours and massage your penis to encourage circulation.

I'll look into the foam thing. And where did you find the vacuum attachment? Does it work on circumcised dicks? And does it make the device longer, more noticeable? I haven't seen one.

You can get a vacuum mod that fits most extenders from autoextender (hyperlinks aren't allowed here but you'll find the website if you use google). Although you might want to get in touch with the SizeGenetics rep on this forum to see if you can solve the issue without spending anymore money. The mod would make the device longer and more noticeable under clothing I'm afraid. I hope you can keep it up. I've extended and got some decent gains after 870 hours. It's all about finding that sweet spot of tension and then racking up the hours.

I think I'll keep working at making it comfortable with what I have. Perhaps taking it hour by hour, even lessening tension if need be. Thanks for your replies, good stuff

Took a quick peek at your page, impressive gains with simply extending.

I think your skin gets used to it after a while, my first couple months the base and spot where I attached the velcro were sensitive, I was wrapping with all kinds of stuff, and using a mouse pad at the base for a cushion.
Now I just use about 18" of sports wrap and nothing at the base and I'm fine.

Have you tried lubing the base area to reduce friction? You can get away with lubing the base since the device is secured via the head.

Sirpumpsalot, are you feeling any better today?
