i've had an andropenis for ages and only used it on and off, because of the problems i've had with it. i'm currently trying it out again but could use some advice and troubleshooting:
firstly, the silicone straps DO NOT stay in their notches. i have to run a piece of sellotape around the underside of the device to hold them in place. even under little stress they pop out.
secondly, i really do not know how much to stretch. to put my penis under the sort of stretch demanded (900g is the first notch for the springs) is a MASSIVE stretch and is simply not doable for more than about 40 minutes. in order to hold my little chap in place i need to have the noose a certain tightness, and in order for it not to slip out at those pressures, or anywhere near, it has to be tight enough so that the head becomes cold after a while. this worries me, i don't want to be cutting off circulation there, but it's what i have to do if i'm to achieve the pressure necessary to compress the springs.
no video i've found online comes close to answering these problems. one on youtube seems to suggest just putting it in flaccid and turning the screws, stretching it maybe 2cm from starting point. thats all well and good, and i can easily handle that, but it is nowhere near the sort of tension seemingly demanded by some of the studies (900g, 12 hours a day for a month, then 1200g a day from then onwards).
i want gains, but the only way i can wear the device with any degree of comfort for any length of time is by not having much tension - only enough to pull it to roughly erect length. no compression in the springs. is this enough? because it's not what the successful studies used. i would LOVE some answers to this
