Penis Extender Video Guide: How to Use Step by Step

The video below demonstrates all five steps, and the captioned image sequence mirrors each one so you can follow at your own pace. The order matters — assembly before fitting, fitting before tension. The device shown is the SizeGenetics medical traction device, an FDA-registered Class II medical device; FDA registration is a manufacturer-and-device listing process and is not the same as FDA approval.

The instructional video below is a complete visual demonstration — from laying out the parts through assembly, fitting, tension calibration, daily wear, and safe removal. It runs about eight minutes, chaptered into five sections that each match a step on this page. The written steps that follow cover the same ground, so the page is a full guide even with the video unplayed. For the mechanism behind what the video shows, see how a penile traction device works.

Work on a clean, flat surface, and never force a component — every part seats with light, deliberate pressure.

1. Lay out the parts. Set out the base ring, the silicone comfort tube and strap, the two elongation bars, and the glans cradle. Confirm every part is present and undamaged before you begin.
2. Attach the elongation bars to the base ring. Seat each bar fully and evenly into the base ring — the bars set the traction length.
3. Fit the comfort strap and cradle. Attach the silicone comfort strap to the cradle that will hold the glans, seating it cleanly since this is the part that touches skin.

Fitting decides the whole experience. A correct fit holds the device securely without pressure points, and it is the single biggest factor in how comfortable — and how consistent — your daily wear will be.

1. Position the base ring. Place the base ring at the base of the penis, snug but not constricting — it anchors the device and should not dig in.
2. Secure the glans. Seat the glans in the cradle and fasten the comfort strap. The strap should hold the glans firmly in place without pinching it.
3. Check the fit. The device should feel secure with no sharp pressure anywhere, and skin colour and sensation should stay completely normal.

Tension is set by the elongation bars, and the goal is calibrated, comfortable traction — not maximum force. This step rewards restraint.

1. Start low. Begin within the lower part of the calibrated therapeutic window — roughly 900 gram-force (9 N, about 2 lbf) — especially for your first sessions.
2. Adjust the elongation bars. Lengthening the bars increases traction. Make small changes and re-check the fit each time.
3. Progress gradually. Increase tension over days and weeks as comfort allows, staying within roughly 900–1,500 gram-force (9–15 N, 2–3.3 lbf).

More tension is not better. Calibrated, sustained traction is what produces results — the mechanism behind it is set out in how a penile traction device works, and the evidence is reviewed in do penis extenders really work. Pushing past the therapeutic window adds discomfort, not progress.

With the device fitted and tensioned, the wear schedule is what turns setup into results. Consistent daily wear is the strongest predictor of outcome.

• Target 4–6 hours per day. This daily wear total is the figure tied to the documented outcomes.
• Split it across the day. The hours need not be continuous; reposition the device every 1–2 hours to relieve pressure and restore circulation.
• Wear it discreetly. The device is designed to be worn unobtrusively under loose clothing.

Length change is gradual — set expectations against the documented timeline in penis extender results: before and after, and see the complete daily protocol in how to use a penile traction device.

Removal is the reverse of fitting, done gently. Release tension first, then free the glans, then the base ring.

1. Release tension. Shorten the elongation bars before removing anything else.
2. Unfasten the comfort strap. Release the glans gently from the cradle.
3. Remove the base ring. Slide it off without pulling.
