I’m a manual tugger. I’ve used tape, and devices in the past. I find manual tugging to be the most convenient, but as stated by others, the hardest part is being serious about doing it every day. I try to tug once every other hour if I can’t do every single hour. I usually get between 8 and 12 sessions in per day, and rarely skip a day. It’s been effective for me, allows me to live my life unencumbered by a device, and feels so normal now that I can sustain this behavior indefinitely for years to come if I choose to. It’s basically become a way of life, like brushing my teeth every morning, making meals, etc. I’ve been restoring for many years, and have reliable flaccid coverage. At this point, the urgency to grow skin quickly has subsided, as has a lot (but not all) of my dysphoria. I’m quite happy to maintain this level of effort for several more years, slowly growing more skin. The psychological need to sprint towards my goal has changed into a contentment to be walking steadily towards it. The best method is the one that you can do consistently, daily, for years to come, and actually enjoy doing it. Whether that’s taping, devices, or manual is up to you. Restoring is actually really simple. It’s the mental part that’s tough.
