The manual says it can be worn under loose boxer shorts and trousers. After the six-week start-up, the maker describes a standard routine of 5 to 6 hours daily.
Independent research on traction devices in general, not on this product:
- A 2023 Cochrane review of non-surgical treatments for Peyronie’s disease rated the evidence for traction as very low certainty.
- A 2019 review reported modest and variable benefit that depended on daily wear time, and noted that studies were small and not randomised. Side effects reported were mild and temporary: pain, redness, bruising and itching.
