Classification of penis extenders
Types, features & benefits
Today, the use of traction-based devices such as penis extenders is considered the safest, cheapest and most effective way to increase the length, girth (thickness) and health of the penis. However, it is crucial to consider and know the difference between various types of penis extenders and determine which would suit your penis in the best possible way.
Classification of penis stretchers (Types of penis extenders)
Principally, there are two main types of penis stretching devices or extenders.
- Noose Extenders
- Strap Extenders
1- Noose Extenders (conventional penis extenders):
Noose extenders are considered the most classic and “traditional” type of extenders and have been available for over 25 years. These rubber tubing based penis extenders work well for uncircumcised users. The base is just a large padded circle with the posts welded on (in old models) or screwed on (on recent, better models). These posts are a set length and at the top is a “slider” which runs along the posts. This slider will have attached to it a small silicone loop that sits behind the crown of your penis. This type of extenders does have some major issues.
Firstly, the design does not allow for the extension of the runner rods to a longer length. This means that if you maximize the gains you are able to make with the device and you want to continue growing, then you have to buy a new device to keep growing larger. The base of the device is also not very comfortable when pressing against the pelvis. The most important drawback however is in the design of the loop or “noose”. Not only does it cut into the top and sides of the organ causing a really painful feeling during its use, but also it can hinder circulation to the head of the member.
This is not only uncomfortable but also dangerous if the circulation is impeded for an extended period of time such as wearing the device overnight. Therefore, while using a noose type extender, you may have to take it off every hour for about 20 minutes to let the blood flow back in.
And finally, a recent online survey done on noose extenders determined that about 73% of penis extender customers not only gave up after trying various types of nooses, but in addition, spent hundreds of dollars prior to resigning themselves that there is nothing more comfortable and usable on the market.

2- Strap extenders (comfort straps / modern penis extenders):
These extenders represent the newer, modern variety of penis stretchers such as those offered by Bath Mate. The most basic difference between the noose extender and the strap extender is of the design of the “slider”. In strap extenders (such as those made by SizeGenetics.com), the design of the slider is shaped more towards the natural curvature of a grown man’s organ for better fitting and greater comfort. In addition, strap extenders actually offer better traction and friction with the penis body and also allow for up to 60% more blood flow during extension. These are two important factors in the penis enlargement procedure.
This system is not only more comfortable than the previous models but is also more effective for making your penis larger and has less risk associated with its use. Also, unlike the conventional noose extenders, the strap-based penis extenders can be used / worn on both types of penises (circumcised and uncircumcised) and are usually considered more comfortable and safe.
These extenders come with additional benefits such as:
Safety: The use of penis extenders (particularly of Bath Mate) is considered virtually risk-free and also free of any complications such as bleeding, pain, discomfort, allergy, scarring or wound-formation.
Scientific backing: Numerous trials, clinical studies, research and surveys have shown the effectiveness and safety of various penis stretching devices including the extenders. It has been noticed in several studies and trials that strap-based penis extenders can actually cause a remarkable 3-inch increase in length and 1.5-inch increase in girth of the penis if worn regularly over a period of time.
Compliance and convenience: These extenders have actually minimized the risk and pain associated with older extenders. The base is ergonomically designed to contour to the pelvic shape of a man’s anatomy. This means that as tension is applied and pressure on the base increases, you will not notice any discomfort.
Flexibility: The runner rods of these strap extenders are segmented which not only allows the device to be extended as you grow longer but allows you to keep growing as long as you want to, and get as big as you want to. This also ensures that the strap extender can be easily disassembled for easier cleaning and storage.
