Self-improvement isn’t an easy task. Whether you want to lose weight, tone up, boost your stamina or improve any other part of your life you go into the 
process knowing it’s going to be demanding. There are a multitude of products that can help with any endeavour but when it comes to self-improvement it’s important to shop wisely.
The Rise of Self Improvement Scams
Unscrupulous people have been preying on those who want to improve themselves for years. Long before infomercials and spam emails, there were men and women who travelled all over the country selling tonics, potions and other products that were touted as cure-alls for absolutely anything.
These scam artists became known as Snake Oil Salesmen and since there was no formal regulation on how drugs and medicines were advertised, they could make any claim they wanted. In most cases, they didn’t even give customers a list of the ingredients used in their “miraculous cure all” elixirs.
Over time, regulations did come into place about how these products were sold, the kind of promises companies could make and the need to disclose ingredients to the public. Still, the self-improvement industry remained a fertile hunting ground for predatory companies out to scam people who just wanted to improve themselves.
Lessons of the Past
Since the industry has a long history of attracting dubious companies, the public has responded by becoming increasingly well-informed and more vocal about what they expect from products and companies. These lessons were learned by several generations through trial and error and sharing information in any way they could. Years ago this was done through niche magazines, informal clubs and simply through word of mouth. Needless to say, this made it somewhat difficult for people to get all the information they needed, particularly about self-improvement products that were seen as being taboo.
Male enhancement products along with other sexual aides have always been viewed as being a bit taboo. So it’s not surprising that most men grow up believing any product that promises to increase penis size is likely fake. But that simply isn’t the case anymore. Today there are extenders and vacuum pumps that truly do deliver as promised and that’s where shopping smart becomes vital.
The market still has companies that want to scam men out of their money, so it’s important for guys to use every lesson they can in order to avoid modern day Snake Oil Salesmen.
Know What Makes it Tick – No matter if you’re buying supplements, pumps and extenders, know exactly how it works. Read through the ingredients on any supplement and examine the mechanics of extenders or pumps. Get to know the science behind the product and you’ll soon be able to spot fakes.
Read Reviews – Penile extender reviews can be found on major retail websites such as Amazon as well as niche websites, forums and message boards. Look for penile extender reviews that include links to videos or photos in order to show the difference over time.
Ask Around – Don’t worry, we’re not suggesting you hit up your friends about their penis enlargement experiences. Talking about sex and body issues can be awkward in person but luckily, today’s men don’t have to do that. Get online and join a male enhancement focused group or community that feels comfortable for you and jump right in. Start a thread or check for one that’s already established to ask about specific enlargement devices. This is the best way to get truly frank, honest and unbiased penile extender reviews.
By doing a bit of homework, men can easily find penis enlargement devices that will deliver on their promises without breaking the bank. Today’s devices are better than ever before and for guys willing to put in a little legwork, they can help men achieve the body they’ve always wanted.
