How penis hanging actually works

Enlargement is possible, mechanically

Penis enlargement is possible with the use of a device similar to a vice, designed to grip the internal tissue of the penis underneath the skin. This matters because the skin of the penis is designed to slip — it lubricates during sex. A device that holds skin will slide; a device that holds the tissue beneath it will not.

The first phase: the skin catches up

Initially — especially if you are circumcised — the first period of hanging causes the skin to stretch until there is enough of it to accommodate the stretch from the device. This phase feels like little is happening. It is normal and it passes.

What the weight is actually doing

By using the device to hang weight from your penis, the ligament is pulled out of your body. That increases flaccid size, in addition to stretching the shaft in general, which increases both flaccid and erect length. After months to years of use there will also be considerable girth gains, so separate girth exercises are not necessary.

This is a training stimulus, not a purchase

As with exercising in the gym, this takes trial and error, as well as many hours over years, to see true significant results. There is also the starting factor: if you have a larger or longer penis, your starting point — and your potential — differ from someone below average. Anyone, for the most part, can obtain a large (7–8 inch) penis, but getting further than that requires extensive time or genetic advantage.

Someone with a micro penis may have to use other forms of enlargement devices and seek medical treatment (testosterone replacement therapy) to reach an adequate size to perform these exercises.

The wrap: the difference between gaining and starting over

The difficult part is using the correct material and wrapping to be able to comfortably use the device without causing damage or stress to the skin, while still being able to hang increasing amounts of weight without the device slipping off.

If you do not perform this attachment correctly from the start, you will set yourself up for failure, as you cannot achieve full consistent potential. You may be able to gain initially despite using incorrect form, but there will be a time where you will have to start over from scratch if that is the case.

What a correct grip feels like

When the correct internal structure of the penis is gripped, the hanger will slip minimally and it should be comfortable to use. Pain, numbness or constant slipping are attachment problems — not signs that you need more weight or more willpower.

Session length and recovery

Even with a correct grip, the tissue becomes more and more compressed as you work through your sets for the day. This is the limiting factor for how long you can use the device per day. After several sets — especially when starting out — the tissue will take 24 to 48 hours to recover back to its original position, from where you can perform the exercises again.

Using the device deforms the internal components of the penis, which slowly heal back to their original position fully within 12 to 24 hours. This depends on sleep and erectile health, and may take longer under certain circumstances.

Where people go wrong

• Gripping skin instead of internal tissue — the device slips, nothing loads, and the skin takes the punishment.
• Improvising wrapping material — either it slips under load or it strangles the skin.
• Adding weight faster than the tissue adapts — sessions get shorter, not more productive.
• Training through compression instead of respecting the 24–48 hour recovery window.
• Quitting at the skin-stretch phase, before the ligament has been loaded at all.

Start with the full system

The device, the correct wrapping material and graduated weights. Buying one without the others is the most expensive way to do this.
