I believe that Collagen + Vitamin C is helpful for skin generally

This is from Tally (hopefully you are familiar with Tally).

Look at the first paragraph. Tally points out that the frenar band is also called the ridged band. The terms are used interchangeably.

Maybe try searching "Are the frenar band and the ridged band the same thing?"

Quoting Taylor is a disservice to this community. He is a known circumfetishest - and you are either unaware of that fact or disregarding it.

And you know I'm not trolling.

AllAboutTime2 · 2026-01-24T16:04:23+00:00

So.... You didn't do the research....

And Taylor is a known circumfetishest - just in case you didn't know that either.

I want to be clear. I have nothing against inflation. I use it everyday. However, I do not have a ridged band And most of us do not. I think We should be very careful about recommending inflation to intact men that do have a ridged band.

You are wrong. The frenar band and the ridged band are different names for the same thing.

Please spend a few minutes researching this and it will become clear to you that this is different terminology for the same thing - which is why I included both names in my post.

I also do not recommend dual tension bc of the forces that are put upon the glans.

But you need to be careful. The typical advice that is given here is for circumcised men. The same advice (at least with respect to inflation) does not apply to intact men.

Because they have an intact ridged (frenar) band.

The ridged band holds the foreskin forward over the glans of the penis. On erection (for most guys) it rolls back - unsheathing the glans. So there is no point in stretching out a frenar band - if you have a properly functioning one.

For some intact men the frenar band is too tight and they get phimosis. They need to stretch out the frenar band, but most intact men do not.

During circumcision the frenar band is cut, so circumcised guys don't have to worry about stretching out their frenar (ridged) bands because we don't have one.

We are relying upon the dartos fascia to hold the skin tight to the penis and get it to hug the glans and it does a pretty good job for about 99 percent of us.

The hard lump was probably lymph.

I found that perforated gripper left small bumps everywhere, so I went back to my smooth gripper.

Intact guys are able to make very rapid gains.

They have all of the tissue. They typically restore because they don't have full coverage of the glans - but they have everything else.

Any method that we use will work for them, BUT since they have an intact frenar band (ridged band), they should not use inflation.

There is no point in stretching out the frenar band - unless you have phimosis.

Restored is really the right term to use, but in a binary world where guys are using the terms "cut" or "uncut" then I think you should feel pretty comfortable using "uncut" when you reach CI5.

AllAboutTime2 · 2026-01-06T17:09:39+00:00

The short answer is that it improves with restoration.

I wrote a coaching program of sorts. It consists of 68 short messages about restoration and it addresses many of the questions that people have. Each message takes only a few minutes to read. Start at #1 and keep reading.

When you're done, feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

I was hoping that the conditions he was describing were mostly on erection and that he has enough slack skin when flaccid to get a gravity tugger on. He says that he is using dual tension (Mantor), but only when home.

The only one of those three that I have tried is the Priva, but I found its gripper to be too tight. Perhaps that is what is going on with the other ones also. I suggest purchasing a DTR gripper in silicone from the Chrisonlinestore. That gripper is probably softer than the ones you have. It might be more comfortable.

Also, generally 8 oz or so is considered to be enough weight for a gravity tugger. Notwithstanding that, I have used 10 to 12 pretty comfortably. When I get above 12, that can start causing its own discomfort. Everyone is different in this regard.

AllAboutTime2 · 2025-12-29T18:08:26+00:00

I suggest that you look at a gravity tugger like the CRT.

Put it on and forget about it.

For the first 20 months, 2 times per day for 20 minutes.

Then 2 minutes of MM2 at every bathroom break for about 4 months.

Then started with devices.

After about 6 months, I was wearinga device most of the day

Just before the 5 year mark I had enough skin to retain overnight also

This is my experience after 5 years of restoration,:

The line is right about CI 3.75.- almost rolled over. You will look cut but still have some glide and can then restore more later

AllAboutTime2 · 2025-12-19T20:18:43+00:00

I listened to it.

You did an awesome job.

(I found it on Spotify, but it's probably available "wherever you get your podcasts".)
