u/WeightCurious · 340 upvotes · 6 days ago
I keep seeing ads for penis weights. Do these things actually work, or is it just another gimmick?
u/OldSchoolPE · 210 upvotes · 6 days ago
They’ve been around for ages. It’s basically traction training, but with gravity. They can work for length over time, but the risk of injury is high if you’re careless.
u/NoShortcuts · 140 upvotes · 6 days ago
Exactly. People think they can just slap on heavy weights and grow. That’s a good way to get nerve damage. Start super light.
u/FirstTimeFail · 300 upvotes · 5 days ago
Tried hanging a small weight with a homemade strap. Lasted maybe 10 minutes before it felt unbearable. Do you just get used to it?
u/HangTimeHero · 185 upvotes · 5 days ago
Yes, it’s like any training — you build tolerance. Most guys start with half a pound or less. It’s more about consistency than going heavy.
u/SafetyNerd · 125 upvotes · 5 days ago
And padding matters. Without proper support, straps dig into skin. Invest in a real device instead of DIY setups.
u/ScienceSeeker · 320 upvotes · 5 days ago
Is there any actual proof penis weights make permanent changes?
u/FactCheckBro · 200 upvotes · 5 days ago
Closest science is from traction therapy and tissue expansion in other parts of the body. Gains are real but small, and only with long-term dedication.
u/LogicGuy · 145 upvotes · 5 days ago
Yep, think of ear gauges. Tissue adapts to stress slowly. Same principle, but way riskier when applied down there.
u/PartnerPerspective · 280 upvotes · 4 days ago
My boyfriend experimented with weights for a while. I noticed he got thicker at the base, but he also had some scary swelling. We agreed it wasn’t worth the risk.
u/RealTalker · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s the trade-off. Gains might come, but pushing too hard leads to damage. Most people quit before they see results because safety limits progress.
u/LongGameMindset · 310 upvotes · 4 days ago
I’ve been using weights on and off for a year. I’d say I gained maybe half an inch. The bigger change was stamina — training taught me control.
u/ConsistencyWins · 180 upvotes · 4 days ago
Same here. It wasn’t dramatic size-wise, but I got better at controlling arousal and learned patience. Weirdly meditative.
u/FitAndFocused · 120 upvotes · 4 days ago
Yeah, the mental side is underrated. It’s more about disciu/WeightCurious · 340 upvotes · 6 days ago

u/Experimenter22 · 360 upvotes · 6 days ago
I rigged up a small weight with a shoelace just to see what it felt like. Lasted maybe 5 minutes before it was uncomfortable. How do people actually do this long-term?
u/HangerPro · 220 upvotes · 6 days ago
Proper equipment. DIY setups cut circulation and hurt. Real hangers have padding and support so you can go 20–30 minutes safely.
u/BeenThereToo · 145 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same mistake I made. Once I switched to a legit hanger, I could manage half-hour sessions without pain.
u/ScienceNerd · 325 upvotes · 5 days ago
Do penis weights really make permanent gains, or is it like pumping — just temporary swelling?
u/FactSeeker · 195 upvotes · 5 days ago
It’s tissue expansion, not swelling. Same principle as traction therapy. Gains stick if you’re consistent for months. Just don’t expect miracles.
u/LogicLad · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
Yeah, it’s slow. Think quarter-inch over months, maybe half an inch after a year. Small but real.
u/PartnerView · 300 upvotes · 5 days ago
My husband tried weights for a few months. I noticed he seemed more stretched but also got sore easily. Honestly, it worried me more than it impressed me.
u/BalanceMatters · 175 upvotes · 5 days ago
That’s the issue — pushing too far too fast. Most injuries happen because guys rush. Better to build tolerance than chase big gains.
u/CautiousGuy · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. If your partner is nervous, it’s probably a sign to ease up. Safety first.
u/OldSchoolPE · 280 upvotes · 4 days ago
Been hanging weights since the early 2000s. I gained about three-quarters of an inch in length, but it took years. The key is consistency, not huge weights.
u/SlowButSure · 160 upvotes · 4 days ago
Same story here. I barely used more than a pound for months. Small, steady tension works better than loading up heavy.
u/QuickQuitter · 110 upvotes · 4 days ago
Wish I had that patience. I tried going heavier fast and ended up with swelling. Gave up right after.
u/MindOverMatter · 310 upvotes · 3 days ago
Honestly, penis weights taught me more about discipline than anything else. It’s not just physical — it forces you to stick to a routine.
u/FitnessBlend · 180 upvotes · 3 days ago
That’s why some guys compare it to meditation. You’re sitting still, focused, with a goal. Gains aside, it builds patience.
u/ConsistencyKing · 125 upvotes · 3 days ago
Yep, it’s a lifestyle thing. If you treat it like a quick hack, you’ll quit. If you treat it like training, you stick with it.

u/TryingThisOut · 350 upvotes · 6 days ago
Been experimenting with light weights for a month. Honestly, can’t tell if I’m making progress or just stretching skin. How do you know if it’s actually working?
u/MeasureTwice · 215 upvotes · 6 days ago
You won’t notice day-to-day. Best thing is to measure monthly. Gains are tiny and gradual. Think in millimeters, not inches, at first.
u/ProgressPics · 140 upvotes · 6 days ago
I didn’t believe it was working until I compared photos six months apart. Subtle, but real.
u/DIYDanger · 320 upvotes · 5 days ago
I tried hanging a water bottle as a weight once. Felt like a dumb idea even while doing it. Is DIY always unsafe?
u/SafetyFirst · 190 upvotes · 5 days ago
Yeah, avoid that. DIY usually means no proper support, and that’s how you damage circulation. Buy gear designed for it if you’re serious.
u/LearnedTheHardWay · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
I messed around with DIY straps years ago. Ended up with bruising and pain. Spent more fixing the problem than if I’d just bought a proper device.
u/CuriousMind · 295 upvotes · 5 days ago
Do weights help girth, or just length?
u/LengthOnly · 180 upvotes · 5 days ago
Mostly length. Hanging stretches the ligaments and tunica. For girth, other methods like pumping or manual exercises work better.
u/MixedResults · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
Some guys claim a little girth improvement near the base, but it’s not the main purpose.
u/PartnerCheck · 310 upvotes · 4 days ago
My girlfriend asked why I was always locking myself in the bathroom with weird straps. Told her about the weights. She laughed but said she’d support me if I didn’t get hurt.
u/OpennessHelps · 185 upvotes · 4 days ago
Honestly, telling your partner is smart. Hiding it makes it awkward. When mine knew, she actually helped keep me accountable.
u/KeepItPrivate · 115 upvotes · 4 days ago
I went the opposite route. Never told my partner. She just thinks I’ve “naturally” gotten a bit bigger over time.
u/OldVet · 285 upvotes · 3 days ago
Been hanging weights for nearly a decade. Started with half a pound, now I can handle over three. Gained close to an inch in length, but it took years.
u/PatienceWins · 170 upvotes · 3 days ago
Respect. That’s the thing most guys don’t get: it’s a long game. Months won’t cut it — think years.
u/QuickQuit · 120 upvotes · 3 days ago
And that’s why most give up. Too much work for too little change.
u/FirstAttempt · 360 upvotes · 7 days ago
Tried penis weights for the first time yesterday. Could only last 8 minutes before it felt like my skin was on fire. Do you just build tolerance over time?
u/HangRoutine · 225 upvotes · 7 days ago
Yep. Start super light, even half a pound. Gradually add time as your body adapts. Most guys rush and end up quitting.
u/NoobMistake · 145 upvotes · 7 days ago
Same thing happened to me. Thought heavier = better. All I got was soreness. Once I slowed down, I could finally train consistently.
u/PartnerOpinion · 320 upvotes · 6 days ago
As a woman, I’ll say this: I don’t care about size as much as my boyfriend thinks. He tried weights for a while and I was more worried about him hurting himself than anything else.
u/SupportiveButWary · 185 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same here. I noticed some extra length, but honestly, I’d rather have him safe and confident than risk nerve damage.
u/CuriousPartner · 120 upvotes · 6 days ago
Interesting perspective. Do you think guys exaggerate how much women actually notice?
u/PartnerOpinion · 140 upvotes · 6 days ago
100%. Confidence and performance matter more than a tiny bit of length.
u/ScienceDigger · 295 upvotes · 5 days ago
I keep searching for real studies on penis weights and can’t find much. Closest thing is traction device research. Anyone else frustrated by the lack of data?
u/ResearchBro · 180 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same. Most info is anecdotal. That said, traction studies show measurable length gains over months, so weights are just a rougher version of that.
u/ClinicGuy · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. Tissue responds to tension. It’s science, just not well studied in this context.
u/OldHand · 280 upvotes · 4 days ago
Been doing weight hanging for 15 years. Gains were slow — around three-quarters of an inch total. But honestly, the biggest benefit was learning patience and control.
u/SteadyMan · 170 upvotes · 4 days ago
Respect. Most guys expect fast results and give up. You treated it like training, and that’s why you got somewhere.
u/QuickExit · 115 upvotes · 4 days ago
I tried for a month, saw nothing, and quit. Reading posts like yours makes me wonder if I just didn’t stick it out long enough.
u/FinalThoughts · 305 upvotes · 3 days ago
Penis weights aren’t magic. They’re a grind. Small gains if you stay safe and consistent, but not worth it if you’re chasing instant results.
u/RealTalk · 190 upvotes · 3 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. If patience isn’t your thing, better stick to pumps or extenders. Weights are for the long haul.
u/CuriousStarter · 370 upvotes · 1 week ago
I’ve been tempted to buy a penis weight kit, but the thought of strapping metal to myself makes me nervous. How safe is this really?
u/CautiousUser · 220 upvotes · 1 week ago
Safe if you go slow. Start with tiny weights, like half a pound. Most injuries happen because guys try to jump into heavy loads too quickly.
u/HardLesson · 150 upvotes · 1 week ago
Learned that the hard way. I hung too much, too soon, and got swelling. Took weeks to recover. Now I keep sessions short and light.
u/ResultsSeeker · 340 upvotes · 6 days ago
Anyone here actually get more than an inch from weights? Or are gains usually smaller?
u/RealisticVet · 200 upvotes · 6 days ago
Three-quarters of an inch over two years. That’s about as much as I got. It’s real, but slow, and nowhere near the crazy ads you see online.
u/LongGame · 140 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same here. Small gains, but permanent. If you want instant results, this isn’t the method for you.
u/PartnerFeedback · 310 upvotes · 5 days ago
My boyfriend used weights for a while. Honestly, I couldn’t tell much difference in size, but I did notice he was more confident. That mattered more than the ruler.
u/WomenNoticeConfidence · 185 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. Confidence makes a bigger impact than half an inch. Most guys underestimate how much that changes the experience for both people.
u/AgreeingVoice · 125 upvotes · 5 days ago
My partner said the same. She didn’t care about size, but she cared that I felt more in control.
u/ScienceGuy · 290 upvotes · 5 days ago
Noticed that most “proof” for penis weights is just anecdotal. Why aren’t there proper studies on this?
u/FactFinder · 175 upvotes · 5 days ago
Probably because of safety risks. Easier to study extenders since they’re controlled devices. Weights are too crude and risky for clinical trials.
u/LogicTalk · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
Makes sense. But the principle of tissue expansion is already backed by science — weights just apply it in a raw way.
u/OldSchoolTrainer · 300 upvotes · 4 days ago
Been hanging weights for over 10 years. Gains were small, but I’m glad I stuck with it. More than size, it taught me consistency and discipline.
u/RespectTheGrind · 185 upvotes · 4 days ago
Respect. Not many can stay that dedicated. It’s not a casual hobby — it’s a serious routine if you want any payoff.
u/QuitTooSoon · 115 upvotes · 4 days ago
I tried for 2 months and quit. Reading your post makes me realize I never gave it a fair shot.
u/FinalWord · 325 upvotes · 3 days ago
Bottom line: penis weights can work, but only for patient guys willing to take risks. If you want safe, controlled gains, try extenders instead.
u/TruthHurts · 190 upvotes · 3 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. Weights are old-school, risky, and slow. But for some, that’s part of the appeal.
