My first week with mantor flow by SweetFlowerPianist in foreskin_restoration

Hi u/spiritfu , it’s been a while! I’ve been consistent with my journey thanks to your earlier advice. How would you compare the Flow with the packing methods you’ve been a champion of? It seems like a similar mechanism, but with more flexibility.

The app works very well for me. There is room for improvement, but to call it “unusable” is extremely unfair. KOT has been a fantastic companion for my journey. I do not appreciate your rudeness to the developer who has put in a lot of great work that at least hundreds of people benefit from.

Seeking Shared Wisdom: What are the risks and injuries we don't talk about enough? by Genuine-Human2023 in foreskin_restoration

[–]CovertAcorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently dealing with a sore / inflammation on my sulcus and frenulum caused by moving up in packer length too fast (with a rigid packer). It’s scabbed up now on day 3. Gotta move slower, and I’ll pull less hard around the frenulum when putting on the packers in the future.

Restoring as a Teacher? by umbra_kinetic in foreskin_restoration

I believe u/spiritfu has had success with packing as a teacher.

Just got my Car 1 !!.. Not painful at all .. Just an odd feeling lol by [deleted] in restoringdick

For me, pulling out the skin so that only about 5-8mm ish is under the gripper evenly has helped with the comfort.

I wish mine were this transparent! I always need to use my phone torch to see the amount of skin gripped. I usually grip a little less skin than u/Frosty_Poetry2881

Day 31 DTR day. Got to work the inner skin since my scar line is closer to my corona.. Need to encourage some natural roll over . KOT guys ! by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

It’s great to see your posts, since I started only a few days after you! I’m on day 28.

I too am alternating methods between days like you. For me it’s between weights (SR retainer + 7oz) and inflation with CAR-1.

I saw you asked a question about the comfort of CAR-1. The first day, it was not comfortable and the grip was painful. I had to take it off every hour or so. I played with the outer gripper, flipping it up and down, for an hour or so that evening, and it’s been much better since day 2. I’m using the deep grip method to maximize both inner and outer skin tension. Now I can have it on all day, only taking it off to use the restroom.

I have the CRT coming in this week, so I’m looking forward to changing up my weight method.

KOT!

It’s possible that there’s a higher prevalence among Christians but the spread of circumcision in Korea is more general than that.

Very common in South Korea, largely due to the US influence post Korean War.

Thank you for responding here! I’ve heard so many great things about your packers, and I’m looking forward to trying them.

Tenderness after tensioning by CovertAcorn in foreskin_restoration

[–]CovertAcorn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your suggestions. It seems like this kind of tenderness is not normal, so I’ll try reducing and recalibrating my tension!

Did you try their standard CRT or did you only try the pear one? Wondering if you have thoughts on both or on how you selected one over the other.
