What is penis weight hanging, is it even safe? What is Jelqing? Does it work the same as the weight? How do either of these things help me out? Today, in this penis hanging vs jelqing comparison, we are going to dive into some common questions surrounding techniques used to enlarge your penis. Both of these techniques have their benefits but it is time to break down what is right for you and why. If you want the full process first, see our penis hanging guide.

Penis Weight Hanging

The first technique we are going to get into is Penis Weight Hanging and how it can help you add some length and girth to your penis over time.

What is penis weight hanging/hanger

A penis weight hanger or the act of weight hanging is the process of suspending a weight from the shaft of the penis to encourage gradual tissue adaptation. This is a technique used through the ages tracing its roots through some say the egyptians. It became popularized in the 1980’s as men looked for ways to work toward the penis size they wanted. Men who use it often also look for a fuller, more engaged feel and confidence in their routine and progress.

How does it work?

Penis weight hanging can be accomplished in one of two ways. The first is to attach a weight to the shaft of the penis while sitting or standing and simply let it hang for several minutes at a time. The Zen Hangar product is designed with comfort and safety in mind, with a comfortable and soft noose that attaches to the shaft to prevent any uncomfortable pressure. Over time you can increase weight and time you allow the weight to hang slowly working toward more length.

The second way is to attach the end of the device to a solid surface while sitting or standing and use the consistent pressure to pull for you. This can be accomplished against a desk or even against your leg for long term stretching. The All Day stretching device allows you to securely attach your penis to your leg so you can perform your stretching regimen throughout the day.

The idea behind it is simple: stretching is thought to increase the flexibility of your tissues, and users report adding length a little at a time.

Benefits of weight hanging

Outside the most obvious benefit of Penis Weight Hanging is that you get a longer penis there are several benefits to this technique as opposed to other enlargement methods.

First and foremost this product is simple to order for yourself, and you are always welcome to check with your doctor first.
A design focused on comfort and safety, to help you avoid issues like loss of sensation that can be attributed to other lengthening techniques.
No expensive surgery that can leave you worse than when you started and put you out of commission for weeks.
Increased blood flow, supporting healthy blood flow to your penis and a fuller, more engaged feel over time.
Easy to use, with benefits users report. We are going to get into what the research and users say a bit further down, but why not try something users have stuck with over time.

Jelqing

The second technique we are going to discuss is Jelqing which is a technique designed to add girth to your penis through using your hand to manipulate tissues under the skin.

What is jelqing

Jelqing is the process of creating “micro tears” in the tissues of the penis that when healed look bigger thus increasing the girth of your penis over time. This process has a pretty long history as well and is even consistently being studied by scientists around the world to figure out the real benefits although so far no studies have been published with conclusive results.

How to perform jelqing

Jelqing is essentially stretching your penis with your hand or a designated device in slow succession to create those micro tears. Using lube to prevent chafing and curving your finger over the shaft of your penis like an “ok” symbol and squeezing and stretching over time maintains the thicker look. Maintaining an even pull weight can be difficult but possible with some practice and ensuring you are paying attention to your process.

Benefits of jelqing

Again outside the obvious of being able to stroke yourself to a thicker penis jelqing has the added benefit of being for the most part free. While a lubricant should be used and this takes a significant amount of energy to do over time this method is essentially free. Another benefit is that you get to learn your penis, spending time using your hand in the attempt to create these tears you get a chance to learn more about what your penis can and cannot handle.

Penis Hanging vs Jelqing: Comparison of Jelqing and Penis Weight Hanging

Comparison between Jelqing & Weight hanging

How do you compare the two, and is jelqing or hanging better? One method designed for girth the other for length. I personally have found Jelqing to be a process that leads more often than not to “completion” rather than any measurable success. But again that's just me, the process of using a weight hanger for several weeks has shown me its benefits. It is a simple technique that does not lend itself to extra curricular distractions and is part of a fun routine. That is not to say jelqing will not work for you it is just in my experience I have not had any success with it other than some old fashioned “self -discovery” time.

When it comes to safety concerns most would assume it's the weight hanging that is the least safe of the two techniques but that would be incorrect. Due to the unpredictable pull weight of your own hand you are prone to injury pulling too hard when Jelqing vs the consistent and measured pull weight of a weight hanger. Think about it this way, you can work toward measured, consistent results with a hangar because the weight is consistent vs your hand that lets face it you may end up pulling or squeezing too hard.

The room for error that can cause bruising, swelling and numbness (the main jelqing risks and penis hanging risks to manage) are a major factor for me when choosing the weight over the jelqing although both have their benefits. I always know how much weight is being applied and know that fact alone is going to help me see results long term. I like good data, being able to plot weight vs length over time and add weight to continue seeing results is right up my alley. If you want to try both, read whether you can combine jelqing and hanging safely, and if you are leaning toward weights, the beginner hanging system is the usual starting point.

Conclusion

Which technique is the better fit? Well that depends entirely on you and your goals and how you want to go about getting them accomplished. Personally I am going to go with the weight hanging simply for the fact that if girth is what I want along with length the hanger gives me the option to have both over time.

At the time of writing this I was unable to find any medical data that supported Jelqing as a technique with miserable results. The results found at this point have been anecdotal and vary from individual to individual (most likely because grip strength, and time are hard to measure for multiple people).

Users have reported weight hanging as a method they use to work toward more penis size over time, and some report a fuller, more engaged feel as well. My vote is going to go for weight hanging as my pick but I encourage you to try it for yourself and let us know your own results!
