Vacuum Extending VS Compression hanging

I’ve been doing length work for about 9 months now and have learned a lot along the way. First thing you must always remind yourself is that PE is a slow and steady marathon, It’s also an individual journey. All of us will experience and see results differently. What works for one might not work for the other.

That being said I bought a male hanger after learning that I’m very prone to frenulum tears when using a vac cup. This along with getting TM cups to hold pressure was frustrating and caused my length journey to be very inconsistent. I later found out the water technique damages the TM cups.That’s not to say I stopped using vac cups entirely, but I limit the time I use them to avoid injury in my case. Initially the male hanger was suppose to be a short term alternative in times when I was healing from a tear. I had no intentions of hanging with weights either.

Extending with a vac cup is not only convenient, but also comfortable compared to hanging. We’re all aware by now the benefit of being able to have long consecutive sessions. Comes with the risks of blisters, but I’ve learned to mitigate the risk.

I can go all day into details, but the point here is to log my personal finding that hanging weights didn’t just ultimately help with my frenulum issue (allowing me to keep consistent), it’s also given me faster results. I’m not sure why that is. Perhaps it has to do with the constant gravitational pull. Im just glad I’m figuring out what works for me.

I’m getting close to that 9” BPEL. I don’t usually do any logging and quite honestly I’ve never truly had one consistent routine either. I find that the less I think about my progress the more relaxed I am. Added some pics to show some progress.

P.S. Measurement pics are a bitch to take. Between maintaining an erection, finding the most comfortable way to hold your phone, ruler and D while concentrating on taking a good pic, is without a doubt discouraging and frustrating.
