Seeking some guidance

Been going through the sub and trying to piece together/figure out where to restart. Ended the year stressed, ate bad, saw PE suffer and took what seems like a much needed break. I’ve been doing it on and off since the pandemic, saw some gains (dropped alot of weight but put some back on) dealt with high and lows like everyone. I’m 40, it’s easy to get an erection but sometime I feel like my girth gains have stalled.

I bought a bathmate in the pandemic and that was my foray into PE. Didn’t see as much length gains (was about 320 pounds) but losing weight and following just the bath mate program and learning some manuals, I realized my bpel is 7 inches but when using the pump and factoring the fat pad, it varies from 6-6.5 inches. There were times because of how much fat I had, I thought my length was like 4-4.5 inches so this is humbling. Girth got crazy at points with over pumping but I was not following a consistent program or protocol. Now as I ease back in with better nutrition, a lot less stress, better rest, I want to gauge with a program where to ease back and where to push a little forward.

My goal would be working on girth overall but mainly at the base. My erect girth without pumping I can shimmy into my 1.65 inch pump lubed. During a good session with heat the glans press against the cylinder. Without heat I can press against the 1.5 cylinder. The hope with the work is to fix the base girth and move up to a bigger cylinder.

I’m also wondering for the gents who are erect, what were your thoughts from using an extender to hanging. I have a lot of foreskin and it has always been a concern with those caps.

TLDR: asking for some guidance to work on bas girth, girth overall and using an extender or hanging system with lots of foreskin. I know it will take time and I’m not expecting an over night fix.
