01Penis Extender Statistics

An extender adds length slowly, and hours matter most. These numbers come from men who measured themselves in our PE Trainer app.

  • The typical man gained 0.47 inches of length after 12 months with a penis extender, the Epic Traction Report 2026 found (107 men).

  • The top 10% of men gained 1.02 inches or more by month 12, and the top 25% gained 0.75 inches or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 107 men).

  • 78% of men who measured for 12 months or more gained length, according to Epic's PE Trainer app data (385 men).

  • 90% of men who logged 250 or more hours of traction measured longer than when they started, the Epic Traction Report 2026 found (81 men).

  • 59% of men with 250+ traction hours gained half an inch or more, and 20% gained an inch or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 81 men).

  • The typical gain for men with 250+ traction hours was 0.55 inches, against 0.24 inches for men with 25 to 100 hours (Epic Traction Report 2026, 81 and 423 men).

  • Men who logged no traction hours still measured 0.12 inches longer. Epic treats that as measuring noise, not growth (Epic Traction Report 2026, 498 men).

  • Smaller starters gained the most. Men who started under 5.75 inches gained a typical 0.59 inches, against 0.26 inches for men who started over 6.75 inches (Epic Traction Report 2026, 124 and 190 men).

  • Only 2.4% of men who trained 3 or more days a week lost length, against 9.5% of men who trained under 1.5 days a week (Epic Traction Report 2026, 165 and 95 men).

  • Longer days did not add more. Men who wore an extender 90 or more minutes a day gained a typical 0.35 inches, and men at 45 to 90 minutes gained 0.39 inches (Epic Traction Report 2026, 174 and 223 men).

  • Men who used an extender and a pump gained a typical 0.39 inches of length, against 0.24 inches for men who only used an extender (Epic Traction Report 2026, 270 and 192 men).

  • Extending did not make men thinner. The median girth change for men who only used an extender was 0.00 inches (Epic Traction Report 2026, 183 men).

  • Men build tension slowly. Typical Epic Pro tension rose from 1.9 kg in week 1 to 2.7 kg by week 13 (Epic Traction Report 2026, live sensor readings).

  • Published trials of penis extenders found length gains of 1.2 to 2.3 cm, about 0.5 to 0.9 inches, with 4 to 9 hours of wear a day (Gontero 2009, Nikoobakht 2011, Nowroozi 2015).

02Penis Pump Statistics

A pump adds girth. The more pump hours men logged, the more of them measured thicker.

  • 72% of men with 50 or more pump hours measured thicker, according to the Epic Traction Report 2026 (82 men).

  • The typical girth gain for men with 50+ pump hours was 0.24 inches, and 48% of them gained a quarter inch or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 82 men).

  • Among men who never pumped, 42% measured thicker and the median change was 0.00 inches. That is the baseline to compare against (Epic Traction Report 2026, 734 men).

  • The top 10% of pumpers had gained 0.63 inches of girth or more by month 12, and the typical pumper 0.20 inches (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 45 men).

  • Thinner starters gained more girth. Pumpers who started under 4.75 inches around gained a typical 0.24 inches, against 0.08 inches for men who started over 5.25 inches (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 59 and 127 men).

  • The typical pump day is 20 minutes (Epic Traction Report 2026, 74,381 logged pump days).

  • Men pump after their extender session about 3.5 times as often as before it, 23,955 days against 6,927 (Epic's PE Trainer app data).

  • Higher pressure did not add more girth. Men who pumped under 5 inHg gained a typical 0.12 inches, and men at 11 inHg or more gained 0.08 inches (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 53 and 23 men).

  • In a small Epic check of 33 men, 76% were still thicker than when they started, a typical 5.7 months after their last pump session. The group is small, so read it as a good sign, not proof (Epic's PE Trainer app data).

  • 3,490 men have logged pump sessions in the PE Trainer app, for 31,272 hours in total (Epic Traction Report 2026).

03Length and Girth Combined

Add a man's length gain and his girth gain together. These are men with a year or more of both measurements.

  • The top 10% of men who trained 250+ hours for a year or more gained 1.65 inches or more, length and girth combined (Epic Traction Report 2026, 62 men).

  • 42% of men with a year and 250+ hours gained an inch or more, length and girth combined (Epic Traction Report 2026, 62 men).

  • The typical man in that group gained 0.81 inches combined, and the top 25% gained 1.38 inches or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 62 men).

  • Men who used both an extender and a pump for a year gained a typical 0.75 inches combined, and the top 10% gained 1.60 inches or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 97 men).

  • Across all men with a year of both measurements, the typical combined gain was 0.51 inches, and 22% gained an inch or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 358 men).

  • Experienced users went from an average of 6.26 to 6.88 inches long, and from 5.10 to 5.35 inches around, after 250+ extender hours over 6 months or more (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 71 men for length and 65 for girth).

04How Long Penis Enlargement Takes

Months, not weeks. Here is how length moved month by month for men using an extender.

  • The typical man first measured a quarter inch longer at month 9, and 62% of men who measured for a year got there (Epic Traction Report 2026, 385 men).

  • The typical man who reached half an inch got there at month 11, and 42% of men who measured for a year reached it (Epic Traction Report 2026, 385 men).

  • After one month the typical length gain was 0.08 inches. By month 6 it was 0.28 inches, and by month 12 it was 0.47 inches (Epic Traction Report 2026, 787, 262 and 107 men).

  • At month 12, 69% of men had gained a quarter inch or more, 46% half an inch or more and 11% an inch or more (Epic Traction Report 2026, 107 men).

  • Men first noticed a change after a median of 4 weeks, and 74% noticed something within a month. The first change was usually erection quality or a fuller soft hang, not erect length (Epic's Discord study, 34 men).

  • Soft length moves sooner than erect length. At month 6 the typical soft gain was 0.35 inches, against 0.28 inches erect (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 221 men).

  • 18,917 men have opened a PE Trainer app account, 5,777 logged training and 14,238 entered a measurement (Epic Traction Report 2026).

  • Sticking with it is the hard part. 52% of extender users still log training after a month, 30% after 6 months and 21% after a year (Epic Traction Report 2026, 4,341, 3,270 and 2,371 men).

  • Men have written 121,807 messages in the Epic Discord since 2023. 1,763 men have posted, and the community has over 5,000 members (Epic's Discord study).

06What Men Want

Answers from men who took our quiz before buying anything.

  • 68% of men want more length and more girth. 24% want length only, and 6.5% want girth only (Epic quiz, 18,980 answers).

  • 74% of men want more girth, on its own or with length, and 92% want more length (Epic quiz, 18,980 answers).

  • 48% of men looking into penis enlargement are beginners who have never trained, and 24% already own a device (Epic quiz, 19,680 answers).

  • 41% of men say they have only 10 to 20 minutes a day to train, and 27% have 60 minutes or more (Epic quiz, 17,487 answers).

  • The question new members ask most is "Is it safe?" (233 men), ahead of how brands compare (198 men) and whether it works (127 men), in Epic's Discord study.

07Safety and Side Effects

What men in our Discord report in their own words. These are counts from a community, not medical rates.

  • The top reason men pause training is a skin issue such as a blister (26%), then fit or slipping (24%) and time, schedule or privacy (17%), in Epic's Discord study (106 men who gave a reason).

  • None of the 106 men said they stopped because of cost, and 3% said they stopped because they saw no results (Epic's Discord study).

  • Men who got a blister said it healed in a median of about 8 days (Epic's Discord study).

  • Weaker erections were rare. Epic found about 9 first-hand reports among 121,807 Discord messages (Epic's Discord study).

Stop if you feel pain, cold or numbness. Talk to your doctor if you have a medical condition.

08Jelqing Statistics

Jelqing is a hand exercise. Our coaches do not teach it. Here is what the numbers show.

  • 31 of 89 men (35%) who posted first-hand jelqing reports on Reddit described an injury. Epic searched injury threads on purpose, so this is not an injury rate (Epic's read of Reddit reports).

  • 42 of the 89 men said they gained size with no harm, 10 gained but got hurt, 19 got hurt with no gain and 7 saw no gain (Epic's read of Reddit reports).

  • The typical man who logged hand exercises in the PE Trainer app logged just 16 minutes in total (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 363 men).

  • Only 13% of men were still logging hand exercises after 26 weeks, against 25% for pumps and 26% for extenders (Epic's PE Trainer app data).

  • 82% of men who logged hand exercises later logged an extender, a pump or a hanger (Epic's PE Trainer app data, 296 of 363 men).

Read the full answer in does jelqing work.

09Penis Enlargement Surgery Statistics

What men report after implants and fillers, and what studies measured. Reddit leans toward problems, so these are counts of the reports we read, not complication rates.

  • Of 69 first-hand Reddit reports on Penuma or Himplant implants, 35 men said they regret it and 15 were happy (Epic's read of Reddit reports).

  • 29 of those 69 men had the implant removed or redone, and 20 reported lost length (Epic's read of Reddit reports).

  • The cheapest countries for penis filler are Peru ($770), Ukraine ($882) and Romania ($1,008), in the Epic Penis Enlargement Cost Index.

Method and Limits

Where the numbers come from

  • Epic Traction Report 2026. Our PE Trainer app, since 2023. 18,917 accounts, 5,777 men who logged training and 14,238 who entered a measurement. Read the full Epic Traction Report.
  • Epic's Discord study. 121,807 messages from 1,763 men who posted in the Epic Discord since 2023, read and counted by hand.
  • Epic quiz. 18,980 men who answered our quiz in 2026.
  • Epic's read of Reddit reports. First-hand posts we read and sorted by hand. 183 on procedures and 89 on jelqing. No usernames kept.
  • Epic Penis Enlargement Cost Index. 814 clinic prices from 58 countries, each checked against its source page. See the cost page.
  • Published studies. Each one is linked next to its number. All of them are on our clinical studies page.

What these numbers cannot tell you

  • App numbers are self-measured. Men measure themselves, and measuring is never exact. That is why men who logged no training still show a small gain.
  • There is no control group. This is real-world data, not a clinical trial.
  • Men who see results keep measuring. Only about 14% of men who measure ever measure again a month or more later, so results lean toward men who stuck with it.
  • Community stories are not independent. Since 2024 our CEO has offered $1,000 for a documented 1 inch gain, and our Discord coaches are also affiliates.
  • Reddit leans toward problems. Our Reddit counts are counts of the posts we read, not rates.
  • We sell these devices. Read the numbers with that in mind. We publish the method and the data so anyone can check them.

Penis Enlargement Statistics FAQ

What percentage of men gain length with a penis extender?

The Epic Traction Report 2026 found that 78% of men who measured for a year or more gained length, and 90% of men with 250 or more hours did. Our numbers are self-measured, not a clinical trial. See the studies and the full answer in do penis extenders work.

Months. The typical man first measured a quarter inch longer at month 9. Most men notice a first change sooner, after about 4 weeks, usually in erection quality or soft hang.
