Now, what exactly is a penis enlargement device and what is it's function?

Many penis enlargement devices, especially the traction types, uses tension to stretch the penis and make it larger and thicker. The theory is that if a certain part of the body is exposed to a constant, permanent stretch, the cells in this area begin to divide and multiply, thus increasing the tissue mass. The enlargement will consequently happen in both the length and width (girth) of the penis. Different cultures from around the world have used this same natural principle for centuries to enlarge or develop various body parts.

Although there are many different types of products available on the market today, many devices consist of a specially designed ring of plastic material that is placed around the base of the penis. A silicone and plastic holder is slipped around the head of the penis. Between the ring and the holder, two dynamic metal bars are attached applying a variable tension between 600 and 1.500 gram. The user adjusts the tension. For men who are allergic to niquel, companies like Andropenis now make their product out of gold.

Comfort

Some men report the devices are very uncomfortable, even painful, to wear. If the device is incorrectly adjusted, problems like this can occur. The type of device also can effect this. Some are more comfortable than others.

There are men who report their penis are tender and sore after several hours use, and that it stays this way long after the device is removed. This, however, is considered normal, providing the soreness is not abnormal or too intense.

Penis enlargement traction devices are expensive. Prices can range from over one hundred dollars to five hundred dollars. One plus in purchasing a penis enlargement device is that it is not something has wears out or is used up, like penis enlargement pills. You only need to buy the device once. Many men feel that penis enlargement devices work better than some of the other methods that are available.
