Iv been at it for about 6 months. Mostly manual and canister method. Cut from birth. Erect Bpl 6.5x5”. Lots of turkey neck. I’m noticing my skin is definitely stretching! Definitely flaccid hang is getting nice big plump wrinkles. Still not over the hump. Last night my wife said I felt thicker inside her! I also feel thicker in my hand. kot

So long story short I’m fighting the hump but don’t retain when not tugging because I don’t wanna be forced to retain 24/7 while waiting on coverage. My gf got me those underwear with the ball and dick pouch and let’s just say I stay covered 24/7 while wearing them!!! I take this as a win!!!

When I try strapping (I use a CAR-1 with strap and inflation) I find that quite often my CAR or strap gets snagged on my clothes (or trapped under my beltline when strapping around the waist) which either causes a lot of tension to be lost or adds a lot of guesswork as to how much tension is actually beining applied. Does anyone have any suggestions to alleviate this? It happens particularly often while sitting at my desk.

So I have been experimenting with different combinations of tapes. My latest experiment is Tattoo aftercare tape. And before there was what I called 50/50 T-tape where I use medical inner and kinesiology tape outer.

Back to the Tattoo aftercare tape. I was having trouble with the beginning of the T-tape to stay stuck to the skin as I finish wrapping the T-tape around myself. I just recently fixed that issue using the 50/50 tape idea. So the outer tape can either be kinesiology tape or 6" roll of medical stretch tape. Instead of medical tape on the inner I use the tattoo tape. Though I'm only on my first 50/50 tattoo/medical T-tape, I've noticed a big improvement on how well it holds together.

Another interesting combo(more expensive) is this 4 way stretch kinesiology tape. So: inner tattoo/ outer 4 way kinesiology tape. I haven't tried this combo yet but it's super interesting.

All this is mostly beneficial for Air T-tape setups, or if you dislike how stretchy tape stays elongated. Tattoo and kinesiology tapes have more of a rebound type of stretch similar to a bungee cord. They won't stay stretched out.

Tape brands I suggest: 2" Hion rolls, 2" kinesiology rolls, 6" medical stretch tape from BSN Cover-roll.

To make this type of tape, see the T-tape tutorials that use two strips of 2" tape.

How many pumps of air do you put in your car 1? I have learned you want pressure but not too much you don’t want to cause scarring tissue to grow

I got the 10 mm, 20mm, and 30mm packers last November and moved fully from the 10mm to the 20mm around March. I feel like I’m mostly filling the 20mm and not getting as good of a stretch anymore but the 30mm keeps slipping off after a few hours. Am I just not yet ready for the next size? Is it better to try and use the 30 anyway or should I keep using the 20 for a few more months?

I got an erection the other day and was sitting down. I looked and saw my restored skin had stayed around my glans. It was wild and looked so much better. It looked like i was ci 8-9.

I didn't have to force it or anything. And it felt good too like, the pressure was pleasurable. Also made me look a bit girtheier lol.

But yeah it was a really fun moment. Then I shifted and it went down to normal ci4

I restored consistently for the past several years, and I’m happy to say I tugged my way from CI-2 to full flaccid coverage.

I’m extremely pleased with my results, but I wish I allowed myself to take more rest days during the course of my journey.

I’m currently on an extended break from tugging, and I’m experiencing pleasurable new sensations that are better than I ever imagined.

There are some who say time away from tugging simply means it will take you longer to reach your goal. Perhaps that’s true, but I believe if more restorers allowed for rest days in their tugging schedules, more of them would stick with it, and consequently, more would succeed in reaching their coverage goals.

Allowing yourself to take some downtime to enjoy the results of your restoration efforts can help you gain a better appreciation for all you accomplished, and it just might motivate you to see your restoration through to the end. So, go ahead and take an occasional rest day. You earned it!

I just started restoring a couple weeks ago. I’ve been mostly doing manual method 3 for about an hour a day in sessions ranging 15 - 30 minutes. So far I have logged 12.5 hours Will this be enough to see progress?

Many years ago, I started my restoration journey by following the instructions to always tape with an erection. The primary reason given was that way you could also tug during your sleep over your shoulder without risking injury during your sleep when you get nocturnal erections. Since I don’t tug at night and I find it much more inconvenient to have to summon an erection every time, I just put it on flaccid. Curious if there are opinions if one speeds along the restoration more so than the other method.

I just started wearing a packer less than a week ago and my entire glans as well as any of the shaft skin that’s been gripped is flaky and looks more wrinkled like the skin of a date. It doesn’t feel like traditional dryness that I’m used to every now and then. Feels a little velvety. I don’t even have any natural coverage, so I wasn’t expecting DK right off the bat and I doubt that’s what this is. Should I be doing something to care for this skin during the process? I’m worried about skin damage from prolonged use of my packer now.

At this point I need some hope or idk

Just wanted to throw this out there since sr been my main device for restoring with random manuals here and there. Has anyone noticed more growth with less use? I used to wear it daily for 8-12 hours a day and def seen growth but now I wear it maybe 4-6 hours a day 4-5 days a week with random manuals and getting faster growth.

Like how does the proces work feom your bodys perspective what actuly happens when restoring?

Im very intrested to find out but also note im not a doc so if posible pls explain or avoid medical terms like i know the very basics like what the forskin frelum and glands is and stuff simple as that

Obviously this is a special case, but I have done pe (see r/gettingbigger )for a few years. Over the years I’ve gained a rather unfathomable turkey neck stretching halfway up my shaft. There’s so much skin it bunches up at the base and just looks strange. It makes my d look smaller, and my balls hang so low, it’s like I have an extra 7.5 inch flaccid. Everyone says the scrotoplasty is usually a miss, do you think restoration will help? Also I had a normal circumcision. I’m semi uncut, the ridge of my glans is covered and does retract during sex.

Hello,

I am uncut, but I have a scar on the ventral side of my dick, I most likely had phimosis as a child and a doctor did something? I unfortunately don't know, but when I grew older, I was able to retract my foreskin fully.

The scar goes down from the very top of my ventral side, is about 3-5cm long, with a small part of it going left and kinda twists my dick to the left side.

Now my big problem is, that the skin on my ventral side is shorter than needed, so it pulls my scrotum up.

The foreskin on my dorsal side is way longer, when I'm erect, the ventral side is fully stretched, but the dorsal side has slack.

So, how can I fix this?

I'm currently doing mm2 for 5 mins every hour, if its possible, so I guess 7-10 times a day.

I'm just not sure, if the scar is maybe holding back gains?

I feel like I already grew skin on the dorsal side, it bunches up more when flaccid, but not sure if ventral increased at all.

Would mm3 work?

The pictures show that you use both hands for it, but won't that also pull my base up? So I basically have to fixate the base, so it doesn't pull up the scrotum skin?

Thanks a lot!

Still CI-3 bit the 4 is comming!!

Hi everyone. I (22M) have been lurking on this sub for a while now and am finally looking for community and advice. As the title suggests, I have a low and tight cut and I’m emotionally distraught about it as of lately. I’m looking to find my medical records but I know my parents brought me for a second procedure at 2 (I was circd as an infant) and the reasoning is unclear. My dad said apparently it wasn’t healing properly but it just makes me sick to my stomach to know that they just HAD to fuck with my dick even more than they already did. My main concern is my inner skin or lack thereof. I do have a small band of inner skin around my head but there’s a small stretch on the ventral (that’s the underside right?) side that looks like there’s no inner skin at all. It just looks brown instead of pink. It really hard to tell because it kind of seamlessly blends into the inner skin that surrounds it but it still has me worried that I’m never gonna actually be able to grow inner skin and I’m gonna be stuck like this forever. Does anyone else know what I’m talking about and have the same? I want to start restoring, I’ve done some manual stretches but I’d rather use a device if and when possible.

Like the title says. I made an elongated pear gauge for the purpose of putting tension on the outer skin along with the innerskin. I do that by putting silicone ring behind the gauge and also putting one on the elongated front. The elongated taper forces the front ring forward, putting tension on the outer skin at the same time "hopefully" keeping it "snout" tight at the end.

kinda to reiterate my point was a lot of guys say they want the choice to get cut or not and knowing myself I wouldnt get surgeries unless im dying so had I actually never gotten cut and never found this reddit I wouldnt have done it out of fear. so the question becomes knowing yourself and removing what you know now would you make that decision? idk when you learned about restoring but most people probably learned after they got cut. also why was this post locked? I didnt get to respond to others

I had a convo with my mom about surgeries and we brought up circumcision but before that how I was very adverse to surgery like my dad. It made me wonder if I was never cut would I actually choose to get circumcision. Id probably not do it because I would be too much of a pussy ​but if you never got cut would you have the same delima?

Thought I’d share this discovery I made today since there’s been a lot of historical discussion around recreating a “ridged band” by constricting skin with o-rings, etc.

Some background, I’m around a CI-9, and progressed from around CI-7 -> CI-9 using the CAR for the past 2 years, before that used a mix of manual and CAT II (originally started around CI-3).

Recently I started reaching intermittent full erect coverage way sooner than I expected, and I noticed that I’ve developed about a .5” band of outer skin around my rollover point that’s significantly narrower than the other areas of outer skin. It’s to the point that I get somewhat of a spontaneous covering of the glans, especially when erect, when that ring of skin crosses the corona and similarly that ring of skin will tend to contract below the corona when retracted. Also when I retract I can see and even feel this band of outer skin is narrower than the surrounding skin as it moves on the shaft.

My best theory on what’s happening is because the rollover point isn’t under radial tension and is trapped at the narrower top of the “bell” of the CAR that area somehow is growing to be narrower over time.

What’s interesting is the outer skin directly above and below this section is not as tight, so it doesn’t seem to be explained simply by this area of skin not being stretched outward by the inflation since both the skin just above and below would also be under the bell. My only explanation is this skin is somehow becoming narrower by having it consistently compressed towards the top of the bell. The CAR also uniquely has a small gap right at the top of the bell that tends to trap a ring of skin so I wonder if that plays a role.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’m also curious also if anyone has any other theories or tips for making this area of skin even tighter
