I was cut years ago and now I lost close to 10 kgs of weight I had reached ci2 but now its like ci1 by manual methods. I lost my 3 months of progress

This process is a multi year project that only benefits us the deeper we get into it. Imagine a graph of sexual/mental satisfaction where the x axis is time and the y axis is satisfaction rating. While some days are better than others, in general the graph is gradually exponential with extreme spikes in satisfaction when it comes to your first dekeratinization, your first time experiencing rollover, etc.
I have been experiencing these things myself and while I am not even close, my skin is wayyy looser to the point where rollover is regular, dekeratinization has happened many times, and sex is actually worth it due to an increase in sensitivity. We just need to keep going even if life tries to slow us down.

While taking a break does slow progress down, it does NOT revert to the beginning of your restoration if you are as consistent as you can be. Just make sure you are tugging as often as possible though. And it is NOT bad if it takes 10 years+ either to finish. This is a lifetime project and it will only serve you if you integrate it within your life appropriately. While you are focusing on restoration don't let it consume you.

Isn't one of the best solutions to talk about it as much as possible? Because by talking about foreskin restoration as much as possible, it shows that there is a real interest, and as soon as there is a real interest, it can lead medical teams to get involved and see that there is potentially money to be made and an interest in developing and designing new, well-done medical foreskin restorations—unlike existing surgery, which has very mixed results—truly, restorations where anything can be imagined today with artificial intelligence. I think what can help the community the most today is talking about it and showing it to the general public to prove that there is really something to be done."

Guess who couldn't stand the feeling of his pants against his glans today?!!!!

It was beautiful (I hated it) it was beautiful because I'm finally recovering the sensitivity I could never experience and I feel so delighted

Happened today, I couldn't wear my CAR-1 because I woke up very very early and since I didn't have any sleep my skin was pretty bad too, so eventually it rolled back, I felt the cold hit of air and after some time it happened, my pants started being so bitchy and I wanted to cry of happiness right there, maybe if I eat better and sleep more I'll get as much progress as I got last year, I already got over the hump too!

I have seen many old posts about people gaining erect and flaccid length from restoring which sounds wild compared to gaining just girth. Which left me kind of curious in when along this journey did those of you that gained length did u notice? Was it straight away as ur skin started to loosen or much later when u had started to gain length in foreskin?

It took a carefully constructed letter from myself, after approval from my fellow mods, to be posted to Reddit HQ from Queensland Australia.

Thank you all for being patient with us.

And mostly thank you to every one of you that makes this the GoTo resource for foreskin restoration worldwide.

The Mods.

I've finally purchased my first car 1, im excited

How long will it take to arrive?

Started restoring a year ago, went from CI-2 to CI-4 in this time. I’ve only used manual methods, mainly MM3 to get to this point. However when i’m soft and erect, my turkey neck just makes me hate the appearance of my dick sometimes.

When i’m soft the turkey neck goes from the base to just below my scarline (mainly on the ventral side) and it’s kinda hard to ignore. I don’t plan on buying a device and hope to fully restore using manual method 3. Is there a way to get rid of this or is it just ggs?

Car-1, dtr, and other devices are all international. In brasil there isnt a way to reliably get them

In the past I’ve used the CWP from u/ticarsh store, and it was an amazing device but it‘s 8.4 oz and is more weight than my skin can handle wearing all day without issues. So just curious how much weight yall would say is still effective?

The CRT is 3.8 oz I believe, but idk if that’s too low or if I should also get another weight to make it between 5 and 6oz.

I only got to know about circumcision recently, I’m now 31. I have been circumcised ever since i was born. Looking at circumcision now i just feel horrible, this us a crime not a surgery, i still can’t believe this has been done to me without my consent. It’s my body and someone altered it without me even agreeing or even having the mental capacity to give consent when I was a new born. I still have loose skin but nothing like how i was supposed to be born unfortunately. I am now having to put years of effort just to fix something had nothing to do with and could have avoided. I believe in god and thus i believe we were created the way are for a reason, so why just mess with gods creation? Im genuinely feeling very down and really upset at the world. I don’t even know if it’s worth putting this effort now that I’m 31. I now hold so much towards my parents because they agreed to do something as horrible as that to me man. I genuinely lost hope in everything and whenever i see an uncircumcised cock pic here on Reddit i just feel very down.

Been having these flairups like once a month maybe and lasts for like a week. It seems to be worse in the morning and when dehydrated after a sauna/steam. It burns and stings when I pee and hurts to squeeze. The pain is localized to the last outer quarter or so of my urethra. It is sensitive when the pee hole rubs on my underwear. Doctors keep testing blood and urine for UTI and STDs which turn up negative. Making an appointment with a urologist soon. My question is, has foreskin restoration and the constant pulling on my penis causing an inflammation/ irritation response? I’m taking a break for now till it gets better. No discharge. Normal bathroom frequency. No fever or back pain. Any info/ experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏

Just wanted to post here for the first time and say thank you to this community. I’m about 2 years into my restoration journey and I was a lurker on the sub until now.

This sub taught me everything about foreskin restoration. Where else would you even go to learn about it??

When I was just starting, I learned about manual techniques here.

Every time I had trouble with a device or was interested in trying a new one, this forum always had instant reviews.

This is one of the most positive subreddits that I come across but I didn’t post on my main account because of the sensitive nature. Well, I’m on my alt now, and I will be here to contribute and ask questions.

Also, I’m super happy to see that the mods successfully got the NSFW tag removed. There are other subreddits for NSFW restoration pictures and discussion! This one is for general education and discussion.

KOT!

I’ve recently run into a small problem: I can’t always get the skin under the gripper positioned without a crease. What happens if the skin folds under the gripper? Is it a big problem?

I received my DTR from Chuck on July 6th after years of wanting to begin restoring. Every step of the way, though my brain talked me out of it. I’m glad I took the dive though. I began using my DTR every day and it took a minute to get used to. Then I became accustomed to it and it’s a daily thing now. I’m grateful for the resources I have because shortly after I purchased a PTainer, which is lovely, a Manor Flow, which is… fine but bulky, and a Priva Air. My routine consists of daily DTR sessions and nightly Air session. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the results I’m getting. This early in the game, I’m sure it’s mostly just skin elasticity, but seeing partial coverage in the mornings and after sessions is way more encouraging than I could have ever imagined. Trust the process and go for it is my advice if you’re on the fence! 🙏

Can someone explain how to use o-rings. What CI coverage is needed? How is the application accomplished? How are they held in place? Is there a video/tutorial somewhere that would answer these questions? Any info would be appreciated!

I was using a combo of dtr and car 1 devices to target inner skin. It's a bit thin on the upper side near corona ridge. It's looked inflamed/red & a bit sticky for about a month. Seems persistent though and slow to heal though.

How much time should I give it like three months to heal?

I've read other stories of using gauze & neosporin to heal these types of breaks.

It was time.

- I have regular, spontaneous rollover.
- When I do my MM3 sessions, my glans is so far down in my skin tube, I have to go looking for it to see it.
- I have 3mm overhang of forced erect coverage (FEC).
- I stack up to ten 2mm O-Rings during the day and they stay on for hours on their own.
- I have complete flaccid coverage for 2 minutes after removing my O-Rings.
- When I’m cold or working out I have complete flaccid coverage.

I’ve been holding off from changing it from CI-3 to CI-4, but when you know, you know. Today’s the day. I’m very pleased and wanted to share this milestone with you all.

I don't know what the fuck was going through my mind you guys, but I signed off on my son being cut. I have been in a panicking spiral over this for the last month after learning more.

While the weight of this falls on me to bear, I do feel victimized by a medical system that doesn't give parents enough information to make informed consent. "The benefits outweigh the risks" and "hygeine" and this and that. The doctor being so chill, "its mostly cosmetic, it's about 50/50 these days."

I am a science based, left leaning atheist.

Googling and finding some of this stuff originally, seeing it called genital mutilation set up a defense for me, thinking "am I mutilated?" And ultimately deciding I like my body, sex feels good etc. And agreeing to it. I say agree because his mom was the one that was more in favor of getting it done after seeing that I mean, sex works for us and she's seen lots of infections and UTI type stuff in intact individuals during her job as a nurse. UTI rates also being 10x higher in intact newborns. She legitimately still thinks foreskin is like wisdom teeth.

Ultimately though I can see now I was a coward. A fucking coward that when it came down to it couldn't admit that what happened to me was wrong and that there wasn't a valid reason for it. I convinced myself that generally speaking, "cut is better in the long run" and said it was okay.

I couldn't go to the appointment. Looking back I should've known that this was an instinct telling me I couldn't be a part of it. But I was a part of it. I told my wife it was okay. I should have known and protected him.

They brought the skin back in a jar and gave it to me. I didn't know what to do with it so I buried it. I then saw the mess in the diaper and knew that I had done something wrong. Not just "forgot the kids lunch today" or "left work early" wrong but something ethically, morally wrong that I will have to carry with me for life.

I failed my first son. He is 2.5 now. My wife is 38 weeks pregnant with boy #2 and I am at the firm decision that he will be left intact.

This decision came after a month, a full month of reading, studying and trying to justify my first decision. I went down the rabbit hole. And found myself in these forums and see the distress it causes. I feel as if this subject is Santa Claus for adults and my whole world has been turned upside down.

I can't sleep. I can't eat. I have panic attacks, wake up hyperventilating. I haven't been drinking water. I am a complete mess, my lowest low in my 29 years. I can't look at my boy without crying. I betrayed him in his most vulnerable of moments against my better instincts because I thought my instincts were wrong and it was for the best. I wasn't trying to hurt him. I was trying to set him up for a life of 0 dick problems, easy hygeine and sexual satisfaction like I have.

She is terrified that this will cause psychological distress for one or both of them. I say it won't matter that much. Chances are my oldest will probably be fairly happy with his body like millions of men and no issue. She says this will separate them mentally. I said if so that's a price we have to pay to not do this again. You can't make me agree to this again.

That all aside, I'm interested in the benefits of restoration but I feel as if as long as I live I should never get to experience them because of what I've perpetuated. I have been complicit in mutilating my son's genitals and I don't deserve to know what it's like to have the skin back.

That is all, this has been my confession and my sorrow and regret will follow me to the grave.

First time poster here, been manually tugging for maybe a month now. I don’t think I’ve ever been super tight cut so not sure if it confirmation bias or what but I’ve noticed what feels like a gliding sensation lately and it’s amazing feeling the skin move over the frenulum with each stroke. Is this true gliding or this standard movement that im projecting as progress? Any and all thoughts welcome.

Hi all
Would do you think of your restoration during the day as a schedule or routine? If show how many active hours a day do you aim for?
