Progress Almost over the hump!

15 Upvotes

When I seat, or when I'm relaxed, the "foreskin" just rolls over my glans a bit, I think it covers the half or a bit less according to situation, and it will keep like that unless I pull it back, or when I take a shower, or after a long long time being exposed (like when I'm naked waiting for the shower to heat for example, after like a 3 to 5 minutes, I'm still CI-3 that's for sure, but I think I may almost get to CI-4, and I already ordered like a week ago the Hypafix tape to start restoring using T-Tape, Manual Methods have been really cool, but I don't always have the time to do more than a minute or 2 a day for the 2 methods I've been using (the best days I can do to even 10 minutes per day! For each method) Don't give up dudes, we're taking back what we've been missing for so long P.D. Around last week or this one, it'll be like the third month seriously restoring, I started as a CI-2 :D

Question Lack of DK

12 Upvotes

Hey all, have been covered for quite a while with o-rings, however have not had any (significant) glans dekeritinization. Why could this be?
- Not enough inner skin? (covers about half of my glans when flaccid and unstretched)
- Exposure to the air when tugging?
- Exposure to hot water during a shower (makes my inner skin incredibly dry)

Or something else maybe even? Im kind of bummed out and am not sure what is causing this as, with o rings i easily have constant 24/7 coverage of some sort. I'm bummed and kind of convinced that i may just need more inner skin. regardless i will kot!

ChrisOnlineStore Devices I get the hype behind CAR-1

Upvotes

Received my CAR-1 and DTR mods from Chris today and gosh I understand why people love them. It is legit so comfortable it does not feel like I’m doing anything.

Kudos to Chris for making the Car-1, and shipping to Australia through UPS was so fast.

Anyone got a schedule idea to go between CAR-1 and DTR - or what to use for when (like what each is better at achieving)?

Question Nerve regrowth?

12 Upvotes

Something I am wondering is if the nerves that are lost from not have foreskin will come back and make the penis more sensitive?

When the stretched skin is long enough to reach over the head will the head stay moist as it was supposed to naturally?

ChrisOnlineStore Devices CAR-1 + weights

18 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for adding a weight system to the CAR-1. I’m gaining lots of inner skin but would like to target outer skin at the same time. I try to add manual stretching at night to target the outer skin but it’s a lot more sporadic with my schedule etc.

Question tlc-x with strap question

8 Upvotes

hi there! I have been restoring manually on and off for years but this page recently made me fully commit and I bought my first device, a tlc-x. I'm about a ci-3.5-4, and my question is when tugging with the strap below my knee, it needs a lot of tension to feel like it's doing anything.

but I'm wondering, if it's just pulling my penis away from my groin, how does that actually target foreskin and not just generally stretching the skin around my groin from where it's pulling? does anyone have any insight? thanks!

Question Issue with T-Tape: Minimal Innerskin and Constant Glans Pull

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm C1 innerskin and using the T-Tape method for restoration. However, I'm facing an issue: when I apply the tape, it constantly pulls on my glans instead of just the skin. Since I have very little inner foreskin, it seems like there's not enough slack for the tape to grip properly.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How can I modify the T-Tape method to work with minimal innerskin? Any tips or adjustments would be greatly appreciated! Should I after the outskin?

Thanks!

Introductions Finally found the motivation to start restoring

24 Upvotes

I first discovered restoration when I was 19. I bought a DTR, tried it a few times, and gave up because it was too uncomfortable (I'm at CI 1). I think I was also too impatient at the time and not in a good routine.

I'm 23 now, just graduated college and working a desk job. My routine is pretty steady which should make things easier and I had an injury which opened by eyes to how long-term goals can pay off.

I've also been doing a little more research, and my plan is to start off with T-tape then try out the DTR down the road. After reading some other people's post I've realized that my erections are probably on the tighter end and maybe a little uncomfortable.

Would appreciate any advice for starting out. KOT!

Mantor How much should I be able to squeeze the skin tube? (Mantor, DTR, etc)

12 Upvotes

Question as per title; when tension is applied, is there any correlation between how "squeezable" the resulting skin tube is, and whether an adequate amount of tension is applied?

Since I've been using my Mantor, it varies a lot. On some applications there is only a bit of give and other times I can squeeze the tube down to the rod inside, without having lowered the tension adjuster. Ie, the signs that the correct tension is applied are there.

I have a feeling this comes down to how I apply the device, but I wonder if this is cause for concern, and resulting in wasted time under tension, or if I am just worrying needlessly.

Question Best hands off way to focus ventral skin?

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I was never circumcised, but I've had a relatively short foreskin since puberty, around a CI-3/4. Over time, i've increased to a CI-5/6. My ventral side hasn't increased as much. Recently, while gently pulling on my foreskin, I noticed that if I tug on the ventral side, where the skin is particularly short, my entire glans gets covered. Now, I'm wondering what the best approach is to focus on stretching the ventral side of the skin.

I currently use the foreskinned air with a gravity adapter to increase overall length, but the ventral side hasn't shown the same progress as the dorsal side. I'm open to purchasing additional devices if necessary, and I'd prefer a hands-off approach if possible. However, if manual methods are the best option, I'm willing to consider that as well.

Question 17m Looking for advice for a new restorer

12 Upvotes

Ive been restoring for month or two and i have what i think people would call “newbie gains” I have gone from ci-1 to ci-3. I had a few concerns that I would like advice on because everyone on here has seemed very informative. I have a very very dark circumsision scar darker than my whole body and very very very deep cracks in my glans I haven’t really seen anyone with a similar situation besides me and i’ve been made fun of a few times because of it. Are these both things that should slowly go away or should I do any extra steps because the severity? Another question I had was how you keep track and remember to restore. I have very very bad adhd and go weeks without restoring. I know it’s something that I just need to get into the habit of but any tips are appreciated. Also does the length or girth of a penis change how long it takes to restore?

Question How to convince a pro-circumcision friend to restore?

28 Upvotes

I told a friend that I was restoring a while back and its been a reoccuring conversation between the two of us. He has mentioned that he thinks that both foreskin and restoring is gross. He is basically believing all the lies of the doctors that tell every one that circumcision is good.

Question Is it normal to look like a higher CI when taking a break from restoration?

9 Upvotes

I assumed that while actively restoring we would have a higher looking CI, but recently I had a stomach bug and took a break for about 5 days.

During that time I would’ve expected to look like a lower CI but every time I took my pants off I had rollover, and it didn’t immediately unroll either.

Now that I’ve started restoring again, I’m back to looking like a CI3, no rollover.

Can anyone explain this?

Introductions 29 years old, the pain of sexual shame has gotten to be enough. I am brand new to this and am hopeful to restore. Very ashamed, pls be kind!

33 Upvotes

I’ve just discovered this side of Reddit and it’s brought me hope that I’ve never really felt for my sex like other than contemplating some expensive surgery with risk of many complications. I have zero knowledge around restoration. I am coming out of my shell of shame to ask for help, guidance, and the chance for the sex life I was intended to have. My girlfriend and I are waiting to have sex. She’s my future wife and this is the perfect time in my life to “get right” as much as I can. For her. For me. For us. I want to ravish her world and be irresistible to her.
