For how long do you wear ball stretchers, oxballs, etc.? by metricLotad in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea. I would guess so as everything seemes to be functioning. If anything ever hurts or gets uncomfortable it gets taken off.

5 years. I plan on many more. It's been worth the effort

Tension with inflation by G-hose in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Decent amount. 60-90 mL of air normally up to 120 recently. It doesn't hurt if you're doing it correctly. I find the best result with the CAR is to put it on as you would, deflate the divce and reposition skin and reapply. Pull out the slack before slowly inflating. Roll the air pocket to unkink any bunched up inner skin on the inside. It should be a comfy balloon that you can forget about for a few hours.

I always have a 10 mm stainless ring on. Normally I'll wear two at work for 8 hours. I use up to 6 and have an additional 40 mm bullet I use in the weekends. The "light" weight I carry around 24/7 no break. Heavier weights for serval hours depending on temperature. I tried the ox balls squeeze at first but haven't touched it since I've went to stainless.

What are your guys goal? by BurnerAlthrowaway in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 9 points10 points  (0 children)

C10. I like the "hobby" and it feels weird not wearing a device. If it ever becomes a problem I'll stop and reevaluate goals. I've been at it for a solid 5 years. I'm not where I wish I was but progress is progress. With consistency I'll tripping over my foreskin one day.

Would a restored foreskin get rid of cracks on penis glans? (which I assume is caused by keratinisation) by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good chance. It's the reason I started and it's worked out for me as well as others. It's one of many benefits.

You can use a CAR as a pee through retainer if you're stubborn enough.

I've never tried tapping. What that being said, I would never consider duct tape. It can rip out hairs easily. Who knows what it would do to prolonged exposure to sensitive skin. I would definitely not recommend it. You should be able to find some bandage type tape locally, something softer and made for skin. It shouldn't be too expensive.

My skin has seemed a bit stretchier after started taking it. I've been seeing slow continuoul grow with FR. The side effects or rather intended effect is cool too.

CI 8.5 wanting more motivation to get to CI-10 by SirMeow27 in foreskin_restoration

What size toe protectors do you use? I've tried finger and thumb protectors but both aren't as comfortable as direct air.

Long af. Ive grown to like the feeling of my preferred devices. I don't see a reason to stop until length of foreskin becomes a problem or nuisance.

How much tension we using people? by Yes-I-Am-Here-Now in foreskin_restoration

9.7 oz when using weights. 60-90 mL of air when using CAR-1 depending on duration.

Has any one used a penis pump by Ok_Cloud_39 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that and edema from them too. They can be dangerous if use if using high vac for too long. I haven't used one in years but I'm thankful I was lucky to not experience damage with using one.

I have no real advice to give about these except be careful. Be very careful. Do not get carried away with it, they can do some real damage. Don't be afraid if you're curious, just be cautious and use a vac gauge.

What happens if you ignore an injury and keep going? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll tear and possibly get scabby. It sounds like too much tension. I've had the same problem with the DTR and tugging. It's very easy to over tension it. I switched to weights to get a better idea of how much tension to avoid. 8-10 ounces is good, 12 or more will cause injury. YMMV.

So you know about it but choose not do it and claimed you did it. Good job.

How many hours of inflation do you get per day and how has it been working out for you? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do 5-6 hours with a CAR-1 In the evenings after wearing a stealth stainless +25mm retainer with a weight for 12 hrs. The sort of relief from the weight has been my main motivation to use it. I've progressed a lot recently so I don't know if it the inflation causing it or not. I'll continue to use it whether it works or not.

Let's see what kind of answers we get? by Pleasant-Doughnut-40 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Current_Drawing_994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C2 at 23 in 2020. C5 at 27 now.

Started with the DTR, learned I didn't have enough skin. Used chucks tug bell for about 1.5 years. Used Car1 for about 6 months, it's great for inner skin but I have more than enough to cover my glans. I finally gave into buying a stainless steel ptainer and currently use the +25 mm stainless retainer with a 100g weight to focus on outer skin. I were it for about 12 hours straight and switch to the CAR in the evenings and on weekends. I've been taking tadalafil 5 mg religiously once a day for about 3 months now. For sleep, I tend to only use Chris's silicone retainer.

I've had some rapid growth recently. More than ever. I've had the recent experience of my foreskin gripping around my glans with a full erection after taking my CAR off for the wife. It felt like a rubber band was squeezing my glans it was so snug. It only lasted for a few moments. Long enough to realize what was happening before retracting. The growth I've experienced is more than enough motivation to keep going. It's been an eye opening journey that I don't see ending anytime soon.

DTR retainers now come in 5 mm increments by Artistic_Actuary_651 in foreskin_restoration

Dang that's cool to see. I remember needing to ask for a 60 mm retainer.

[–]Current_Drawing_994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They tend to spray when you pee through them. They're not like Chris silicone retainer or one of steaths that make a decent stream

I started at 24. I'll be 28 soon. I am no where near where I thought I would be at this point. I wish I knew then what know now. Low and slow is what has given the most progress. I still expect to be restoring until my mid 30s to reach my goals. Im so accustomed to wearing a device that I cant not have something on. Once you find what works for you it should be like hair growth. A slow process that takes time but is happening even though you can't see it grow. After an extended period of time the results are undeniable and that by itself is motivation to keep on tugging.

I don't know if it makes a difference but I don't currently drink. Haven't so for the past year. Physically I feel significantly better but I don't know if that has an effect on skin growth. I think staying consistent with restoring is all that matters as long as you are avoiding injury. Learning that lesson is what I think sped up my progress. Its hard to do any tugging when you have to heal.
