penis traction devices are relatively new in the United States although they have been used in Europe for some time. These devices work by the same concept that bodybuilding by lifting weights works. The gentle traction stretches the penis and that stretched tissue is then rebuilt by the body during the relaxing breaks between sessions of wearing the device.

When worn correctly penis traction devices do not obstruct the blood flow to any part of the penis, including the glans. Proper blood flow is required for the penis to show any new growth. The traction device is slipped over the penis and while one end is at the base of the penis the other end grips the shaft close to the glans and then tension is applied. As the penis lengthens the tension is adjusted to continue the stretch. This applies a gentle stretch.

Proper use is safe and effective but with any medical device it is important to use the device as directed. A penis traction device should not be worn while sleeping but can be worn under clothing during the day. The time the traction device is worn should be watched so that nerve damage isn’t done by the device.

The principle is similar to what the African tribes use when they stretch their necks or lips. The difference being, if you follow the directions correctly and you are using a quality device the penis traction devices are not worn for extreme periods of time and the penis is able to regenerate tissue to increase the size instead of being pulled thinner while stretching the length.

SizeGenetics has been listed as the number one choice for penis traction devices. This traction device has a comfort grip instead of the band that can cut circulation to the glans. This device has been shown to be effected in most cases to increase length by 2-3 inches in 6 months. While increasing length using traction you can also increase girth. This is only with proper usage and following the instructions closely.
