The Evolution of Penis Enlarger Design

While the popularity of penis enlargers has grown over the years, the actual design of these devices has remained largely unchanged. The manufacturers of penis enlargement devices have made great strives in improving comfort and convenience but the underlying science remains the same. And this is for a very good reason… it works! As the expression goes, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."

Aside from the aforementioned refinements in usability, such as replacing silicon nooses with comfort straps, the majority of penis enlargers are almost identical. The only significant differences lie in the quality of materials used and the precision of construction.

Not all devices, however, so easily fit the mold. The new penis enlarger from Male Edge has taken everything to a new level.

Meet the New "Male Edge"

If you think you've seen one penis enlarger device then you've seen them all, think again. The best way to describe this device is to relate it to a sports car. It pretty much makes every other penis enlargement device look like a stationwagon.

The most notable feature of this penis enlarger, and what sets it apart from just about every other device available, is the nature of the materials used in construction. Unlike most enlargers which use metal rods with complicated screws and bolts, the Male Edge is constructed of sturdy and lightweight materials that adjust easily and configure with minimal effort. These specific features allow Male Edge to improve upon the most basic and vital aspect of any traction device, ease of use.

Simple and Effective

Male Edge has less moving parts, which in general is always a good thing when it comes to mechanical devices. This leaves fewer things to break and less settings to adjust. The materials are also light and strong which makes wearing the device a whole lot easier.

As far as adjustments go, there has never been a device with a simpler method. The new click and slide technology takes all the guesswork out of setting traction levels and is a huge improvement over manually adjusting screws. It also features the strongest possible traction of any device with up to 2,800 grams of maximum tension.

These improvements are all designed to accomplish one specific goal – to allow the user to wear the device comfortably and experience the best possible results. The detailed training program which includes simple instructions on how to advance your gains brings the whole package together.

The Future of Penis Enlarger Devices

Male Edge has done what many in the industry have been calling for (both users and suppliers); they've taken an incredibly effective product and opened it up to the masses. By increasing simplicity and improving performance, while consequently lowering cost, they have successfully taken the first steps towards making penis enlargement devices available to the greater public.

While this may show us the future of where penis enlarger devices are heading, it is not by itself the final solution. Male Edge leaves plenty of room for improvement and would surely benefit from incorporating other growth strategies such as penile exercising. They have certainly simplified the use of enlargement devices but that's still a far cry from more complete systems such as SizeGenetics™.

In terms of overall results, there's still no better method of increasing penis size than by targeting growth from several different angles, something that SizeGenetics™ has down to a science.

The fact that Male Edge is not perfect does not take away from their great achievement. The device is still a very effective method of penis enlargement and I have no doubt that it will help many men realize their dreams of a longer and thicker penis. My only question is… did we really need a green model??

Mikey's Experience

"I wasn't so much sceptical with the device as I was scared that it would rip my penis off lol. But it has worked wonders. Initially the device wasn't the easiest thing to wear but after a month my body got used to wearing it. I actually completely customized my device with things I found around the house like a piece of sock to cushion the penis."

Mikey's initial concerns are pretty common for men interested in using penis enlargement devices. I have to admit that they do look a little intimidating if you've never used one before! As he and many thousands of others have discovered however, getting started is the most difficult part of all.

Adjusting to the device so that it can be worn comfortably is the next step. Some men like Mikey come up with their own creative ideas to increase comfort (click the image to see his home modifications). I personally recommend choosing an extender brand that has built in comfort mechanisms such as SizeGenetics. Since you will be wearing the device regularly at first, it's very important for it to be as comfortable as possible.

He continues:

"I didn't have any wild dreams of having a 9 inch dong. That's what I think the problem is with men wanting a bigger penis, they set their goals too high! It's like working out, you have to put in the time and patience and then you'll get results. I have been using the device for a little over 4 months now and I think it's a great buy. The customer service is also really helpful."

I think he brings up another valid point. Many men start off with unrealistic expectations about how big they want their penis to become. My advice is to use the device for a few months and then after you've gained some size you can reevaluate your situation. If you don't think you've seen enough gains you can continue with your training. I think most men would be surprised by how much a single inch in growth can change your whole perspective.

When all is said and done, Mikey's successful use of the penis extender device resulted in the following improvements in size:

Starting Measurement:
Flaccid length: 2.89 inches
Erect length: 4.8 inches

Ending Measurement:
Flaccid length: 4 inches
Erect length: 5.5 inches

With gains of 1.11" and .7" in flaccid and erect length, Mikey has a lot to be proud of. If he continues to use the extender he'll no doubt reach even greater milestones in penis size. As I mentioned, he's already performed the most difficult part… getting started. The rest is up to him!

These types of results are not uncommon for users of penis enlargement devices. We have in fact compiled many other penis extender success stories submitted by men from around the world. If you're serious about getting a bigger penis and would like to join the thousands of other men currently improving their size, there's no better time to start than now!

Even in the face of mounting evidence, including case studies and research published in respected scientific journals, some men remain unconvinced about the legitimacy of penis enlargement devices. After all, the words of researchers are certainly reassuring but where's the photographic proof? If it works so well then why not take pictures before and after the treatment to show the increase in penis size? Well fortunately for us, that's exactly what someone did.

Richard's Story

Richard is a man just like any other. And like many men, he wasn't happy with the size of his penis. Richard however was determined to do something about it. Having read about the SizeGenetics system of penis enlargement, Richard ultimately decided to give it a shot.

He had learned about an offer from SizeGenetics, which we covered in an earlier article entitled "Enlarge Your Penis For Free?" and realized he had nothing to lose by trying it. In this special offer (which as far as I know is still valid), the user of the SizeGenetics extender only needs to take before and after pictures of his penis and at the end of a 6 month trial, the cost of his purchase would be totally refunded. Add to this the fact that they already include a 6 month money back guarantee if not satisfied with the results and you'll see that there really is nothing to lose.

To cut to the chase, by 4 months into his trial period Richard had gained 1.8 inches in penis length and 0.6 inches in penis girth. And he has the photos to prove it. I'll let him tell the story in his own words (and photos). Open up the following document to get the full story:

Penis Extender Testimonial (PDF format / File Size: 167kb)

To call his results impressive would be an understatement. Not only did he increase both the length and girth of his penis, he did it for no cost! Richard received his full refund and now sports a rather large penis which he can be proud of for the rest of his natural life.

To be honest, I never really understood why SizeGenetics would make such an outrageous and generous offer. Short of just giving it away, they certainly seemed to be taking a tremendous gamble with their company. But after reading Richard's story and seeing his photos, I think I understand their rationale a little better.

With powerful documented proof like we've seen in Richard's story, they are ensuring the long term viability of their product. After all, it's a lot easier to sell something after you've actually proven it works – which is exactly what they've done!

One thing is for sure, we'll all be hearing a lot more about these extender devices in the near future. It probably also means a lot more men walking around with enormous packages in their pants!

Penile Traction Device

United States Patent 6,033,374
Filed: January 8, 1998
Inventor: Miller, Jr. / March 7, 2000
Photo: See Figure 1

Abstract:

"The penile traction device includes a preferably reusable or disposable foam pressure dissipation friction pad having a preferably felt-like backing positioned around the penile shaft for dissipating applied force and frictionally holding the device to the shaft. A weight supporting means has a strap that surrounds and transfers force to the pressure dissipation friction pad. The weight support strap receives force from a selective weight means. A resilient and/or shock absorbing connector can be placed between the weight support means and selective weight means. A two-section weight relief means is also connected to the selective weight means. A handle on the relief means allows the patient or attendant to manually lift all or a part of the weight from the weight support means. The two sections of the relief means are adjustable to vary the overall length of the relief means. By attaching a support loop on one end of the relief means to a belt or other support and adjusting the overall length of the relief means, the amount of force transferred from the weights to the weight support means can be incrementally adjusted by transferring a portion of the force to the belt or other support."

U.S. Patent 6,033,374 was one of the earliest prototypes to incorporate traction force into a portable mechanism for penis growth. Although seen as unwieldy, this design did transform one of the oldest known methods of penis enlargement (weight hanging) into it's 21st century mechanical equivalent. Unfortunately it's complicated nature combined with the inherent dangers associated with suspending weights from the penis made this a less than desirable solution.

Penis Extension Device

United States Patent 6,416,460
Filed: May 31, 2000
Inventor: Jochum / July 9, 2002
Photo: See Figure 2

Abstract:

"A penis extension device for enlarging the male member by long-term extension treatment of the corpora cavernosa comprises an extension element which runs between a fastening means (4), for securing the glans penis (5), and a support (2) which receives the penis root (3) and serves as an abutment. The extension element is designed as a flexible strap (1) which can be passed around the user's body."

Using a completely different method of operation, U.S. Patent 6,416,460 eliminated the use of gravity-dependent weight mechanisms and instead provided the stretching force via a strap extender. Think of it as wearing a belt but instead of pulling the belt loop through and across your body, you instead have a slot where the penis is pulled through and fastened laterally across your midsection.

While this device did effectively provide stretch, it's limitations were such that the penis was pulled into a rather unnatural and uncomfortable position. The direction of stretch could be alternated but the likelihood of overstimulating one particular side of the penis and/or causing the loss of proper blood circulation remained great.

Traction Apparatus For The Penis

United States Patent 7,276,040
Filed: April 21, 2004
Inventor: Gomez-de-Diego / October 2, 2007
Photo: See Figure 3

Abstract:

"An apparatus and method for applying traction to a patient's penis includes at least one base member having a generally arcuate or circular periphery of sufficient dimension for the patient to insert the penis in the apparatus. At least one base member connector is positioned on the base member. A plurality of extension members is connected with the base member connector and extends distally therefrom so that at least one support member connected with the plurality of extension members is distally spaced apart from the base member, the support member having a surface for thereon supporting the penis. A retaining collar connected to the support member adjacent the support surface is positioned so as to at least partially encircle the shaft of the penis thereby securing the distal penis to the support member."

In what is now the precursor for the modern day penis traction device, U.S. Patent 7,276,040 introduced a system of "user-adjustable" traction that allowed for a safer user environment and a much more natural and convenient mode of delivery. Unlike other devices, this creation was lightweight, truly portable and free from the risks associated with hanging weights or lateral strap mechanisms. By underscoring safety and bringing an effective traction method to the masses, this invention helped to usher in a new age of mechanical penis enlargement devices.

Although the original design has been improved upon to allow for greater comfort and durability (see The Different Types Of Penis Extenders), the underlying mechanism remains the same; the epidermis responds to constant expansion or tension by increasing cell division activity in the basal layer. In other words, the penis can and will grow when proper stimulation is applied.

Advances in science and health technology are happening on an almost daily basis. While it's exciting to see just how far we've come in only a short time, one thing is for certain – as long as there are men who are unsatisfied with the size of their penis, there will continue to be those who design and develop new solutions for dealing with this problem.

While there is no sure way of knowing when people actually started manually modifying the natural shape of the human body, we can be reasonably certain that it is a very old practice. Still today certain tribes in different countries use weights and other stretching methods to force parts of the body to increase in size and change in shape.

Very often body modification targets visible areas such as the ears, neck and lips. For example, women from the Paduang tribe in Thailand use metal rings that force their necks to grow and expand in length (see photo above). In other tribes, weights are hung from lips and special plates are inserted in ear lobes in order to effect specific change to those areas.

There is also a history of traction methods used by nomadic Arabic tribes specifically for the purpose of enlarging the penis. These early methods, however, relied mostly on the hanging of weights from the penis in order to increase it's size.

The practice of body enhancement relies on the basic principle that the human body will respond and adapt to external stimuli. Just as muscles can be worked by physical effort to become larger, so too can the tissues of the penis be made to expand in size by applying pressure over a period of time.

As times have changed, so too have the traction methods we've seen associated with penis enlargement. Scientists and researchers have now developed traction devices that are specifically designed to be worn on the penis and promote growth. These devices have replaced the use of hanging weights from the penis and are safer, more effective and far easier to implement.
