Whether we admit it or not, most guys would love to see a bit of extra length and girth when they get dressed in the morning.
Being confident of your penis size doesn't just mean impressing partners in the bedroom either - it's also likely to give you an overall air of confidence in your day-to-day life. In fact, a penis extender can even help to fight the symptoms of erectile dysfunction - not least because size and performance anxiety can significantly add to the symptoms.
So, what can you do about your penis size? Well, rather than hoping for the best with one of those spam emails that fill your junk inbox, you can take a scientific look at a penis enlargement device. Not sure where to start? Don't panic - our certified expert Danny Garrett helped us put together a list of the best enlargement devices available.

Original Jes Penis Extender Cock Stretching Device
| Price: $$$$ | Materials: Metal, Silicone |
| Adjustable: Yes | Accessories Included: Yes |
| Insertable Length: Up to 9.1 Inches | Recommended Use: 5-6 hours per day |
| Safety Features: Hypoallergenic, Phthalate-Free | Features: 100% Safe, Scientifically tested, Highly-Effective traction method |
You won't get far into researching penis enlargement extenders before you start seeing the 'Jes-Extender' name. Boasting Danish design and handmade quality, the Jes-Extender brand has a lot of highly satisfied fans online.
When you take a look at their products, it's clear to see that these are a class apart from many other penis extenders - especially ones at the cheaper end of the market.
This original Jes-Extender is presented in a beautiful mahogany case. Inside, you'll find the base unit, a dual-function front piece, a silicone tube, a comfort strap, four 2-inch (5cm) elongation bars, two 1-inch (2.5cm) elongation bars, a protection pad, and a set of keys to help with adjustments.
You start by putting the device together. Don't panic, there's no engineering degree needed, and there are very clear instructions (both paper and digital) included. The variety of elongation bars means Jes-Extender's high-quality penis extenders can accommodate penises of up to 9.1 inches (24cm).
According to the BJU International, penis extender devices of this type "represent the only evidence-based technique of penile elongation
In a couple of minutes, the extender will be ready to use. The base unit sits around the base of your penis shaft, then, the front piece should be positioned to sit underneath your glans (the head of your penis). The comfort strap then goes over the top of your glans, and the straps pull through the front piece to hold your penis firmly in place.
When secure, you can adjust the elongation bars to start putting some adequate tension on your penis. According to the Jez-Extender team, this encourages the natural process of cytokinesis (cell division) - which is the same principle that creates growth in all human muscle tissue.
At this stage, it's worth pointing out that the Jez-Extender comes with some peer-reviewed medical evidence of effectiveness. According to BJU International (formerly known as the British Journal of Urology), penis extender devices of this type "represent the only evidence-based technique of penile elongation." When you combine this with exquisite build quality and comfort, you'll understand why we've crowned the Original Jes-Extender our Best Overall Penis Extender.

Cal Exotics Professional Grade Penis Stretching System 
| Price: $ | Materials: Silicone, Brass, Polyurethane |
| Adjustable: Yes | Accessories Included: Single accessory |
| Insertable Length: 6.50 Inches | Recommended Use: Up to 6 hours a day |
| Safety Features: Water-Resistant, Phthalate Free | Features: Easy to clean, Mimics the ancient method of penile stretching, Safe to use daily |
If you'd like to get a feel for what a good penis extender can do without spending a lot of cash, it's useful to know which low-budget beginner option you can trust.
Enter, the Cal-Exotics Professional Grade Penis Extender. At a fraction of the price of some other permanent penis enlargement devices, this is a no-frills device - but it doesn't cut corners on comfort or effectiveness, making it our Best Extender For Beginners.
Four elongation rods are provided with the kit - which means the length can be adjusted to suit your natural penis size without protruding through any clothing.
At a glance, you'll see that the Cal-Exotics devices is essentially the same design as the more costly products on this list. There's a base section that sits around your shaft, two extender bars, and then a front section and strap that keep your penis head in place. If this setup isn't as comfortable as you'd like, you can swap to a silicone tube that goes completely around your shaft which is then held in place by another slimmer silicone tube.
The silicone tube addition actually makes this perfect for people with foreskins. If you're uncut, the ridge between your penis head and shaft won't be so pronounced, which can make it tricky to secure the strap. However, the grippy silicone tube will firmly but comfortably hold your penis while also providing the perfect surface for securing the additional slimmer tube. This is worth noting, as less-favorable reviews elsewhere seem to come from people who are struggling to get a comfortable fit around a foreskin.
While some elements of the Cal-Exotics extender system are plastic, the elongation rods and adjusters are steel - which prevents any flex or bending
Four additional elongation rods are provided with the kit - which means the length can be adjusted to suit your natural penis size without protruding through any clothing.
This discreet and minimal design is ideal, making Cal-Exotics penis extenders safe to wear under clothing throughout the day. With your underwear and trousers over the top, the extender becomes completely invisible - meaning the penis stretcher can be worn to work or during your daily routine for maximum effectiveness.

"Excellent product. I’ve never been a “low hanger” but in recent years I think my penis actually shrunk. Daily stretching has brought my penis back to its previous length and girth. My hardons are stronger too. 5 Stars!"

Size Matters Cock Stretching Penile Enlarger Aide And Extender System
| Price: $$ | Materials: Metal, Plastic, Silicone |
| Adjustable: Yes | Accessories Included: Single accessory |
| Insertable Length: Up to 7.5 Inches | Recommended Use: 4-6 hours a day |
| Safety Features: Vibrations, Waterproof, Phthalate-Free | Features : Comfortable to use, Can be worn discreetly under your clothes |
If you're looking to improve on the results you get from a beginner device, the Size Matters Deluxe Penile Aid System represents a more advanced set-up without breaking the bank.
In principle, the technique the Enlarger and Extender system uses is similar to other penis stretchers on this list. However, the big difference compared to cheaper products is the manufacturing quality.
Even at a glance, you can see the quality of the plastics is exceptionally high - a factor that adds to effectiveness, comfort, and longevity.
The importance of comfort when you're wearing a penile extender can't be understated. To get the best from your device, most manufacturers of penile traction therapy will suggest wearing the system for between 4-6 hours a day. This means you're likely to be either working or sleeping with your extender on. With the Size Matters device, the components are so well-engineered that you don't ever have to worry about any nipping of the skin - and it will take some bumps without you having to worry about any damage.
Ease of use is another big thumbs up for the Size Matters System. The extension rods are slightly thicker than most other similar penis enhancement products - so they're exceptionally easy to adjust. This might not seem like a big factor - but when you've tried to use extra-slim rods with awkward adjuster screws, you'll realize it's an important part of getting your tension just right.
Although you'll see very clearly on the packaging that Size Matters state that this is not a medical device, that doesn't seem to affect the confidence they have in their products. As long as you can show that you've followed their program for 6 months, you can contact them directly and they will refund 100% of the cost of the device if you're not happy with the results.
All told, this is a superb product for the money - a deserved winner of our Best Intermediate Penis Extender. It's got comfort levels that are up there with extenders that cost 4-5 times as much - and the quality of the materials and processes used to make the extender leave us confident that it'll last for a long time too.

Jes Titanium Penis Extender Cock Stretching Device
| Price: $$$$$ | Materials: Highest grade titanium, Silicone |
| Adjustable: Yes | Accessories Included: Yes |
| Insertable Length: Up to 9.1 Inches | Recommended Use: 5-6 hours per day |
| Safety Feature: Hypoallergenic, Lightweight, Easy to use, FDA approved | Features: 100% safe, Scientifically tested |
If you're in the market for a penis extender device to boost length and girth, you don't need to look any further than the Jes-Extender Titanium Stretching Device. It's so effective at adding extra width that we've crowned it as our pick for the Best Penis Extender for Length and Girth.
As a premium-priced product, it's obviously important to look at quality as well as effectiveness.
You'll get some idea of the premium nature of the Jes system from the pictures - but when you get your hands on the system in real life, you can fully appreciate the level of workmanship that's gone into making this product.
First, there's the presentation. Your extender comes in its own aluminum flight case. The case will hold its own with the finest watch or gun cases on the market - so you can be confident that your investment is well protected even if you intend on taking it with you on the road or on flights.
Of course, presentation is nothing if the product isn't excellent - but Jes-Extender has pulled out all the stops in that department too.
The team at Jes realizes that not everyone is just looking for additional penis length when they use an extender - so this system is designed to improve length and girth. To do this, it employs a similar 'traction' technique that you see used medically when people are recovering from back and neck injuries.
This traction technique means the cradle that sits under the head of your penis is slightly wider than some other penis extension devices.
When the strap is tightened adequately, your penis is stretched longer and wider than it would normally be when flaccid. Again, the principles of cytokinesis (cell division) come into play as a result - meaning, given time, the tissue that forms the penis is given chance to expand.
If you've explored some of the other products on this list and decided that you want the best of the best, you're not going to be disappointed with the materials put to use here. Titanium is one of those no-expense-spared materials that are extremely unreactive - so if you're at all concerned about having cheaper materials around your prized possession, then you can be 100% confident it's well-looked-after here.
Sure, the titanium Jes-Extender isn't cheap - but if you want an outstanding quality product that will offer natural penis enlargement in the length and girth department, this is an incredible investment in your sex life.

Male Edge Pro Cock Stretching Penis Enlargement System Red Edition
| Price: $$$ | Materials: Medical-Grade Polymer |
| Adjustable: Yes | Accessories Included: Single accessory |
| Insertable Length: Up to 11 inches | Recommended Use: Up to 6 hours a day |
| Feature: Latex-Free , Phthalate-Free, Waterproof | Features: 100% safe, Scientifically tested, Lightweight design, Corrects up to 90% of penis curvature |
The Male Edge Pro penis extender is an excellent all-around device - but we've crowned it as our Best for Penis Curvature winner because of its subtle unique design features.
According to recent studies, around 19% of men have some level of penile curvature. This essentially means that nearly 1 in 5 adult men have a curved penis - and out of those people, around a third say their manhood curves by 30° or more.
Despite a curved penis is a very common condition, it's understandable that lots of people would like their manhood to hang straighter - both for reasons of comfort and aesthetics. There are also lots of sex toys and devices that are difficult to use with a significantly curved penis - not least penis pumps; important tools in the fight against erectile dysfunction.
The Male Edge Pro boasts a slightly narrower gap between its two rigid plastic extender rods.
In fact, they're narrow enough to sit slightly under your penis when you have it on - and this is a big part of why it's so good at straightening. You'll notice other devices on this list have fairly wide straightening rods. While this is perfectly fine for providing the traction needed to lengthen your member, it still allows for some side-to-side movement. With the Male Edge Pro, this narrower channel that your penis occupies minimizes any space for side-to-side movement. It won't just stretch you - it points you in the right direction all the way down the shaft; hence the penis straightening properties.
You might worry that this level of constriction will be uncomfortable, but the Male Edge team has made sure that every component is expertly molded for maximum comfort when up close to your most sensitive skin.
So, does it help you get a straighter penis? According to studies carried out on behalf of Male Edge, the answer is a firm yes. In fact, the results even appeared to be positive when treating Peyronie's disease (curving due to a build-up of scar tissue) and Chordee (a severe bend at the point where the penis head connects to the shaft).
With impressive results confirmed, it's a good idea to take a more detailed look back at the device itself.
This is an exceptionally well-designed penis extender that's constructed with absolute comfort in mind. The plastic components make it ultra-light - which helps with prolonged use, and the incremental clicks on the extension rods do away with the need for awkward turn screws.
All-in-all, this is an excellent, well-put-together device that boasts a little more than most ordinary extenders. Sure, it doesn't have the 'bling' factor of a titanium device - but it'll leave your penis looking its best long after it's gone back into the box in the closet.

How To Choose A Penis Extender
Although we've catered to a range of requirements in this list of the best penis extenders, there are some other factors to consider if you're starting to explore the world of penis enlargement devices.
We've taken a more detailed look at some of those factors here:
Think of your comfort
Penis extenders work best when used for between 4-6 hours each day. Needless to say, anything you're going to wear for this amount of time has to be comfortable.
Weight is a big factor in comfort - as is compactness. Some reviews comment that certain penis extenders are much smaller than expected - but this is a definite benefit if you're planning on wearing the extender under your clothes during the day or need to get comfortable wearing it as you sleep.
Factor in the ease of use
Some penis extenders require careful turning of adjuster screws to slide move the penis head cradle further along the extension rods.
Given that nearly 60 million adults in the US have some form of arthritis, you might find it's more convenient to use an extender that doesn't rely on this method of stretching. Instead, looking for a penis extender that offers rods with incremental clicks can make life easier and more comfortable.
Consider your budget
As with all male enhancement devices and sex toys, you're only going to really enjoy the results if they don't add any financial stress to your life.
The good news is, effectiveness and price don't go hand-in-hand. Many people find they get excellent results from even the most cost-effective penis extenders.
Price really only becomes a factor if you're buying a device that you're hoping to keep for years.
If you're new to the world of penile traction devices, it's a good idea to start with a product that's affordable, before deciding if you're like to take the next step and invest in a higher-end product.
The only exception we'd make to this rule is if you plan to travel a lot with your device or if you'll be wearing it in situations where it could get bumped or bashed. In cases like these, you might decide to spend a little bit more for the peace of mind that comes with more robust materials.
Measure your penis before choosing an extender
The design of some extenders means that they have an upper and lower limit of penis length and girth they can accommodate.
Before you order, measure your penis accurately. If you find that you're smaller or larger than is suitable for the device, keep looking. It's important to do this before you order, as the nature of penis extenders means they often can't be returned unless they're defective.
Think about the timescales required
As well as the daily time-wearing time required, you're also going to be looking at between 6-8 months of daily use to get the most from your penis extender.
For lots of people, this isn't a problem - but if you're finding that issues with erectile dysfunction are stopping you from enjoying your sex life right now, you might want to consider supplementing your extender use with a penis pump.
No matter what you read elsewhere, a pump won't offer permanent penis enlargement - but, when used with a good cock ring, it can offer impressive short-term results.
Think about what you're hoping to get from an extender or enhancement system and choose your device based on whether longer or shorter-term gains are more important.
Does your penis have a curve?
Some penis extenders will help you straighten or minimize any curve you may have in your penis. However, these devices are sometimes a little narrower or more constricting than general extenders.
Think about your goals. Is it more important to have a longer penis? Or would you be happy with the enhancement that comes from having a straighter-hanging manhood that's more pleasing to your partner's eye?
Keep an eye on the materials
We've touched a little on materials when we've talked about prices above - but it's not just toughness that you'll need to think about.
Firstly, there are skin sensitivities to consider. While all the penis extenders on this list are made from skin-safe components, it's worth remembering everyone's body is unique. If you're aware of any particular sensitivities you have, make sure you avoid those materials, even if the price is appealing. Remember, this is a product you're going to have in contact with your penis for long periods of time - so you don't want to take a risk here.
Also, it's a good idea to consider the environments you'll be in while wearing the device
If you're likely to get especially hot (we're thinking saunas, hot workplaces, etc) then you might find a metal penis extender is a complete no-no. Likewise, if you anticipate any chance of bumping or squeezing the extender, you might want to avoid any brittle plastics.

The best penis extenders: A summary
Whether it's purely for the way it looks, to help please our partners, or for confidence-boosting reasons, penis size is a big deal for most guys. While people generally think they have no option but to work with what they've been given, this simply is not true.
Academic studies have proved that penis growth is possible - and penis traction devices are the best way to achieve that permanent growth without surgery.
This is why penis extenders can be a dream come true. They're simple to use, offer impressive results when used correctly, and won't break the bank.
While most penis extenders can claim excellent results, you can probably now tell that there is a range that offers slightly different additional benefits - from some that are made of ultra-premium materials, to those that are designed specifically for straightening your penis.
If you're interested in seeing if growth is possible for you, choose an affordable device that's going to be comfortable and easy for you to use. Also, think about how it'll fit into your day-to-day schedule. It might be a mild inconvenience thinking about those things now - but with proven, permanent results, the best penis extenders can offer the kind of permanent life-changing growth that most people don't think is possible.
Side Note
This best of list will be periodically updated as better products become available or products simply no longer perform as well. As with all best of lists, this will be a living document.
