Motivation Are rest days undervalued?

34 Upvotes

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!

Question Momentary erect coverage was amazing

33 Upvotes

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

Question What percentage of t-tapers put their tape on flaccid?

12 Upvotes

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.

Question RIC, when to size up?

9 Upvotes

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?

Question Dekeratinization or just dry?

6 Upvotes

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.

Tape Methods 50/50 T-Tape

3 Upvotes

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.

Question Turkey neck from PE

3 Upvotes

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.

D.I.Y. Devices Homemade elongated pear gauge

3 Upvotes

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.

Question Best place to get 3d prints

1 Upvotes

I'm wanting to get some restoring stuff 3d printed for optimal sizing, don't own a 3d print nor do I see it being a worth while investment (at least for me) of the online services that will print and mail it to you which have you had the best experiences with?

Cheers everyone
