I don’t believe their claims of gaining 1 or 2+ inches.
I mention it and have a pic on the first page of my journal post. viewtopic.php?t=26225
I used it with their leg strap. I can’t imagine any other way to do it and have it discreet under clothing. It’s possible their other components (like in the pics in the reply above this one) could be worn at night while you are sleeping.
I wore it almost 16 hours a day, every day, for 6 weeks preop. It’s a pain in the ass. It has to be taken off every time you take a leak, then put back on. You need to wear fairly loose pants to be discreet. You can’t wear shorts. I saw 0.5 cm change. 5 millimeters. That’s all.
For me the value of using it was peace of mind later. If I ended up shorter post implant than before I would know that I did EVERYTHING in my power to have a good outcome. Maybe that 1/2 cm allowed my surgeon to pic the next size up? Who knows.
But I think the value in using a VED or a tension device such as this isn’t to gain size you didn’t have before ED, but to regain size lost, and maintain it as you wait for implant.
I would use it again if I was in the same situation. But I don’t think it will make me longer than I was in my youth. Just get back any size I lost.
Yeah, it doesn’t use “brute force,” but is a gentle (but awkward) tension device backed up by science. I think baseline health might be a factor going in. All I know is according to the study (you can pull it up on Grok) 1 - 2 inches was the outcome, but everyone is different. On Reddit, some say they gained nothing; others up to 2 inches.
