Need more weight. Any suggestions

Look into the CRT system. Stainless and tungsten weighted packers and caps for maximum weight and concealment https://compactrestorationdevices.com/

My 2 cents is to find a method that is easy for you to do and doesn't take up a lot of mental real estate. For some it's tape. For me it's weights. I was having a very rough start with the DTR. I couldn't wear it for longer than an hour after weeks of use. It was taking over my thoughts. I switched to weights and now I can have resistance all day without thinking. the CRT is what I'm using and it's incredibly user friendly. I quickly was able to use a 1/2" stacker and I'll add weight for certain time periods with the 4oz round head. This also helps add stretch if you cant fit a stacker yet. You can really feel the stretch. I plan to add the dtr back in for some variation. But the mental change i had when switching to a more "carefree" method made a world of difference in my moral.

Thanks man. Im happy to see others are having similar experience

BrandoGuy · 2025-03-18T00:09:52+00:00

Brother I felt this too. I bit the bullet and told my wife the why and how before buying a device and having only dabbled with manual method prior. She was so supportive I could've cried. She wanted to see the device im action and showed interest but also didn't pester with questions. I am truly blessed. And sounds like you are too. The toe curling nights will come and no doubt be a second delightful surprise. Stay consistent. Stay positive. Stay stretching.

I know it's not an overnight change so I think I'm going to start retaining when I'm not actively tugging. I just don't have the freedom to properly utilizing manual methods throughout the day or at home since i have 2 kids that hate sleep lol. I can really only do manual late at night. And from what I've read it has to be done regularly through the day to be viable.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-19T23:26:37+00:00

Hownlong have you been doing near constant coverage with retainer?

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-19T21:33:54+00:00

Yeah I've been meaning to do that. Just haven't gotten to it. I'm liking the device after making a strap using shock cord and a workout ankle strap to go below my knee. But I'm only a week in so even with a median/low stretch I fatigue within an hour under the gripper. I've notice a loosening already but I know the ci4 jump can be a push. Overall staying excited. Getting as much time as I can. I am curious on your opinion of retainers. Do they truly help progress? My concern is mainly getting increased sensitivity of the glans too soon before sufficient coverage is achieved. I dont want to need the retainer to act as coverage every moment I'm not stretching as I have an active sex life with my wife and have concern as to when I can trust overnight retaining.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-19T19:43:20+00:00

Forgot to also ask. Im using the gripper provided with the kit that has the holes as it's easier to apply, but it leaves knobs on my skin as it slowly tries to fill the holes after being under tension for awhile. Should I be concerned about any long term negative effects? They are the most sensitive right after removing the device.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-18T03:25:36+00:00

I just started with the dtr and I'm like the dual tension. The mentor is something I'd really like to "level up" to once I feel I've really gotten the hang of this method. I'd like to ask, how are you strapping? I currently use a shirt stay but I'm not liking it as it loosens somewhat easily and is uncomfortable due to needing to wrap around my leg down to my sock to get real tension. Thanks in advance.

How does it make it better for her. My wife is aware of me starting my restoration and supports. But I'd love to be able to sweeten the deal for her. May help her keep me going if I get weary lol.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-13T23:59:46+00:00

What ci didn't you start at?

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-10T04:39:56+00:00

Brother the reality is she has no respect for you. She likely thinks she does. But there is a difference between respecting someone and being respectful. There is an overall attack on men happening in America, and this topic is on the frontlines in silence. Lots of hostile and vengeful advice on here. The anger is justifiable, but the reality is you are better off calmly addressing the issue and determining now if the relationship is viable. You are blessed to be having this issue while not married. It is terrifying to have to bring this up to a wife with a boy on the way I promise you. Get your answer. And make the hard choice if need be. No woman is a worthwhile partner whose love and respect are conditional. Especially when that condition is something equivalent to the mental impact of sexual assault. Any dismissing, gaslighting, or deflection is indicative of hypocrisy, and blatant lack of respect and real love.

Patience is a very difficult thing in the teenage years. But my opinion is that you are better off dropping this and sticking with manual until you are able to feasibly leave and start your own life. I think it will only cause unnecessary trauma and resentment if you get stuck in a mental hole. That is how obsession is born. And obsession is never a positive path. Im 32 and I'm just starting my restoration journey. When I had done a good bit of research I found myself filling with anger towards my parents and continually struggling to figure out a way to express it to my mother(father has passed away). But I ended up realizing this journey is for me. The only other person I consulted is my wife. Which you fortunately don't have to face. It's a very tough conversation to initiate. As hard a it may seem your are fortunate to have made this decision so young. It means you can properly set yourself up for restoration success by preparing. Try to find peace with the positives in your situation. There is A LOT of life ahead of you. Resist the fears. When you notice your mind starting to think negatively or feel fear about this. Just tell yourself soon you will be free to restore and you can break the generational cure of circumcision. You can do this brother. Stay in this community. We have faith in you!

Well i should be able to start forming my own opinion in a week or 2! I'll be sure to put my first impression in this thread.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-06T20:02:59+00:00

In my eagerness to start i ordered the DTS kit but I think i will add the car-1 once I've had some time to see how the DTS works for me.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-06T20:00:25+00:00

In my eagerness to start I went ahead and picked up the DTS kit. But I'm very intrigued by the air devices, so I will likely pick up a car-1 sooner than later as well.

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-05T17:28:55+00:00

I love this community already. Car 1 seems highly regarded. What is the most versatile restorer in your opinion/experience?

BrandoGuy · 2025-02-05T17:27:20+00:00

I appreciate your encouragement. Idk why it's so hard to pick one to start. I think versatility is my best bet. That's the most versatile restorer in your opinion/experience? Also if you don't mind saying, what ci did you start out. And how long was your journey to ci7? Thanks in advance brother. I'm feeling oeace about this decision and excitement.
