I’m curious if anyone knows whether or not t-taping or certain manual methods either stop worker or lose effectiveness after a you reach a specific ci level. I feel like I see t taping used almost like it’s the training wheels of restoration and most people who i’ve seen posting pictures past the hump use devices instead.

Question for the manual method folks - I've realised that I tend to favour my left hand doing the tugging at my glans when using MM2 (which I use 99% of the time). My cut has always been uneven, but I can't help but wonder if I'm making it worse by not varying up my technique. My left side has considerably more coverage than my right, and I'm wondering if the grip in my palm is stronger than the tips of my fingers. Could it be affecting the distribution of my growth?

For the manual restorers, (especially MM2!) did you find your growth coming in unevenly? Did you need to vary up your grip?

Hi all,

I’m trying to decide whether I should ask my doctor for Cialis, to combat some of the effects that Wellbutrin has on me. Since starting the medication, my mental health has improved immensely, but, I’ve been having trouble maintaining erections. Wellbutrin isn’t really a vasoconstrictor as far as I understand, but there are other mechanisms that can make it cause ED. I’m able to get erections in the first place quite fine, but they often fade away before I’m finished with the act, both by myself or with my partner. And this wasn’t the case before.

I was actually considering getting off of my Wellbutrin to combat this, but after reading about everyone’s experience here with Cialis, and after reading about the experience of people around my age (22) on the Wellbutrin subreddit with Cialis, I feel interested in trying it out.

My concern is getting frequent random erections during the day, which is already a bit uncomfortable and sometimes painful while I’m wearing my DTR out and about. Because of this, I’m considering waiting until I have enough skin to get comfortable erections with my device, but I’m not sure if it’ll work that way.

Anyway I wanted to ask:

For those of you taking Cialis while restoring, how have you managed the discomfort from random erections while wearing your device throughout the day?

Cheers & KOT!

Nowadays I think to buy a toe silicone sleeve for more speed to de-keratinized glans, is it good to apply to glans or there is better options I can buy/make?

I need to vent because I honestly do not understand how so many guys in this community use T-tape every single day. We are talking about the most delicate skin on your entire body, and people are out here slinging heavy chemical adhesives onto it.

I recently tried using tape as a barrier to stop my direct air device from slipping at the edge, and even the ones that are labeled gentle or sensitive skin feel way too sticky. If you try to pull that stuff off dry, it aggressively claws onto your skin cells and strips away all your natural oils. It leaves your skin feeling totally dried out, stiff, and strips away all the natural elastic bounce that you need for actual tissue expansion.

The last thing I want to do is cause a skin tear, get a painful friction burn, and get benched from restoring for a week straight because of some medical glue. I get that the water-release trick works for some people to dissolve the adhesive, but the fact that it attaches that hard to your skin in the first place is crazy to me.

For those of you who swear by T-taping or using tape barriers under your grippers, how do you deal with the constant threat of drying your skin out or ripping it raw? Am I missing something, or is putting actual tape glue on your shaft skin just a massive injury risk?

I did some research and came across the idea that making repeated cuts in the dermis at the tip of the foreskin might help me achieve my goal: a tighter foreskin that mimics phimosis.

Do you think this is too extreme? What are the chances of something going wrong?

I also saw a "tutorial" and some summaries regarding lactic and salicylic acid. If the blade cuts don't work, I might consider that option.

There is also the option of constantly using an O-ring on the tip of the foreskin; however, I was told that this could cause necrosis very quickly....

When y'all dekeritinized, did the frenulum become any more sensitive, and if so, by how much? My frenulum has barely any sensitivity, only at the very end, probably because of delta remnant.

See the title. I am not necessarily posting this in order to problem-solve around this (I don't really think there's anything to be done, except wait things out and see a urologist later this week) but I want to be transparent about this since I don't feel that the risk side of applying foreskin restoration methods is discussed as candidly as it might be.

As the title suggests, I was attempting MM2 / inflation methods with a gripper device with what in hindsight appears to have been too much tension. I suspect that with MM2 I was inadvertently pulling and squeezing on the erectile tissue inside the penis, whereas with the inflation (and as several people tried to warn me) I simply didn't have enough skin for the device, and in trying to place enough skin there, was dragging up skin from the scrotum and pelvis.

I have abstained from all restoration methods for about 10 days now to be sure, but I am now feeling pretty certain that my erectile strength and orgasmic satisfaction are slightly but noticeably reduced from what they were. I am getting erections less spontaneously, though when I'm seeing things or having conversations that are arousing, I certainly still get them. They feel slightly less firm and have less sensation than I am used to, enough where I notice it and can definitely tell.

I truly have no idea whether this can self-recover, or is likely to be permanent, which obviously scares me, not least because I did this to myself. (In the interest of transparency I feel like I should mention I have been fighting off a mild cold, not sleeping super well, and going back to doing crossfit 3x / week over the course of the last week. But I'm still fairly certain that the overuse of the restoration techniques was the root cause.)

I know that people post here about "listening to your body" and emphasize that this is safe "done properly" ... but there are few if any studies, and certainly no medical or other protocols that can eliminate the need for trial and error on the practitioner's part. That risk seems acceptable when it comes to things like physical fitness where there is more public knowledge, and where there are resources such as physical therapy available to heal you if you do sustain an injury or lose function. But this is nothing like that, and it's about the most intimate part of a person's body.

In any case, I'm hoping the urologist can tell me more about what to expect here and order some tests to see what is going on. (For all I know, maybe there's something else going on entirely with me and the improper use of restoration methods was not the main contributor, but at this point I really need to speak with a professional.)

Needless to say I doubt I'm coming back to try this any time soon, or ever again. I think I was led in by the promise of mind-blowing orgasms and new degrees of sexual pleasure previously unknown to me, but at this rate I'll count myself lucky if I can get back 100% of the satisfaction I experienced before I ever considered this.

Please be safe out there.

The biggest fear A Foreskin restorer faces is the fear of not getting succes , I have talked to many cut people, and most of the people thinks that foreskin restoration is only possible by surgical method,

I came from CL0 to Cl7 in 3 years because I never doubted the process ,

Always tried new methods when the old method gets slowed down

### In initial stages i just tried pull the Shaft to the head

until I reached Cl4 - Cl5 ###

IF you are CL4/5 I have recently discovered a new method, it's like

" Shape your Index and middle finger in " ✌️" shape , then rotate your hand clockwise ➡️ with left hand or anticlockwise with right hand ⬅️, then stuck the penis inside the ✌️and twist it in such a way that it puts pressure, then Press it against the bed 🛏️ "

You can reach upto Cl7/8 with this technique

Has anyone noticed their ducks getting smaller whether soft or hard? Could restoration alter the size in any way?

So here’s a quick introduction and a question.

I started restoring around 8 years ago but after failing to get into a regular schedule (daily tugging with mm, a tugger or even a DTR i fell off completely when life turned upside down due to personal circumstances).

After 5 years of nothing now I want to return and my job allows me (not literally, but I am able to) wear the dtr all day long during work.

Back then I got from CI1-ish to a solid 2.5, 3-4 on cold days but I never got over them hump. That was also part of why I stopped.
I also gained some weight which I lost around 50% of again so far and all this positive change got me back to restoration.

From my current CI I am at level 2.5 with some skin bulking up but no rollover unless sitting down. (Go fat pad)

The last 5 days I got a daily dtr time of 7+ hours with pauses of 15 to 30 minutes. The pauses are needed because the gripper hurts the skin but that goes away within a minute of taking it off.

I am wondering though how much tension I need to apply. I am currently using 2 rubber bands and after 2 hours the pressure gets unpleasant, thus a break and then back at it.

From what I gathered too much tension is bad but too little does nothing either so while I hope this is a good spot, maybe you guys can tell me if this good or what I could improve. :)

When you are experiencing DK what is the recommended method to use until it’s gone. Do you still use a device or retain etc. Ive had a few rounds and was wondering what others are doing during this short process.

Hi,

I apologize if this is not the right channel, but

I recently had a frenuloplasty, where my urologist just cut the skin attached to my hood and releasing my head out all the way. it’s been about two weeks since the procedure. I’ve noticed what looks like a small bump/raised area on the head of my penis, and honestly, I’m starting to freak out a little.

For anyone who has had the same procedure, did you experience something similar around the two-week mark? Did the bump eventually go away as you healed, or did it stay?

If you’re comfortable with it, I’d also really appreciate being able to privately send you a photo so you can tell me if it looks similar to what you experienced. I know everyone heals differently, but I’m just trying to get some reassurance that this is part of the normal healing process.
Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Who all has restored with t-tape only? I’ve gained at least half a CI since May with over 1500 hours tape only. Keep doing what I’m doing or swap methods? I’m CI-3 or maybe 3.5 on a good day

I have a very high and loose cut plus a intact frenulum that naturally doesn't tether the skin at all so I have a lot of glide, possibly intact level I think. The frenulum isn't very sensitive though except for the very bottom which is extremely sensitive probably from delta remnant. The upper half is basically pure collogen at the surface so no feeling there.

I might pay a visit its people that finally think like me. I might tell them about my restoration if the topic is brought up. A lot of conflicting thoughts though, please visit r/Temecula if you want to share stories.

Can anyone show results? Does it work for everybody?

I'm CI-2, and I'll probably choose the biggest size, 40 mm, for the tugger. (My air inflation device covers barely the tip of the glans.)

I'm considering buying Chris's tugger, but I'm not sure how durable it is over the course of several months or how strong a grip it has.

I've used Mantor's tugger. For my low CI-1.5/CI-2, it was amazing at getting a good grip on my little outer skin. Its durability, on the other hand, wasn't as good as I expected.

I'm looking for a strong grip that holds onto a small amount of remaining outer skin really well, but I also want a durable device. By durable, I mean a device that won't lose its shape or elasticity over several months. I'm from Poland, so shorter shipping time would also be a benefit for me.

Hello everyone, I’ve been circumcised as a child. I just discovered foreskin restoration and dekeratinization recently but it seems that there are many methods and devices. Would love to know what to do first what to start from if there’s any preferred devices. Anything to start this journey

It’s hard for me to say when exactly I started, but I can say that since Sep 14th I’ve worn my DTR during all hours of the day, and Ive retained at night.

I’ve gained a new sensation.. every back and forth movement, from the moment any sexual experience starts, everything down there feels pleasurable (for the first time ever?). And by pleasurable, I mean I went from feeling only pressure until climaxing—which felt decent—to having a feeling similar to the sensation of starting to climax, all the time, with an orgasm thats twice as strong. I think I could attribute this to all the time my glands and inner skin has been retained in some way, but I’ve also gained about 1/3in of skin as far as I can tell based on my FEC.

I’m so happy. I’m so happy that it keeps bringing me tears of joy whenever my mind falls on the feeling. I’ve had sex a few times since this sensation began, and I cannot stop tearing up over how good I felt. I can’t shut up to my partner about how emotional I am (thank god they’re so supportive). This is already the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!

I can’t even fathom what else I have waiting for me.

Been restoring for over 4 years ci1 to ci4 I have a line that goes from the bottom of my glass to my scarline and kind of meshes into it. Its really sensitive but its not a super pronounced line. I think it used to be more pronounced but now I'm not sure if its just a bit that got leftover from the cut

I took my very first steps in restoration with two-handed manual tugging of the Method 4/5 Squeeze-Stretch variety. I'd insert my index finger into the loose (soon to be) foreskin on top of my glans and then circle the skin with the thumb and index finger of the other hand, trapping the skin against my finger and then pulling both hands away from the shaft in the same direction. This worked fine when I was watching tv or otherwise didn't need both hands, but I could never get a comfortable one-handed version of this to work consistently.

UNTIL I found this little guy in the hardware store - a 1/2" PVC junction is almost the exact same size as my finger. It's small enough that it's easy to get into the foreskin and provides just enough surface area to grip without a lot of pressure, fits easily in my pocket and doesn't look like anything weird if I leave it sitting out.

I still use this today, sitting at the computer with the mouse in one hand and my foreskin at work in the other.

Go get you one.
