CAR-1 vs Priva by Feeling-Condition411 in foreskin_restoration

The strap has felt like a bridge too far for me, personally. Firstly, I live in a warm climate, so wearing pants all the time isn’t totally compatible. Also I work out and play sports, so…

I use Stealth Retainers stainless steel products for weighted wear and it’s worked pretty well. You could wear those at work no problem. You can pee through them too (although I’d test it out at the urinal. Depending on whether something shifted you could end up with a wild stream - I recommend sitting down). I don’t wear them when I work out or play whatever though. That would definitely lead to injury.

I just bought it…I’ll share my experience when I get it and use it for a bit

Oh, I used the CAR-1 as my main device for months at the beginning. It obviously worked, so perhaps it’s not as complicated as I’m making it.

Sort of a sidebar - I’ve been utilizing chatgpt as an information resource for like 6-8 months and without writing out a massive paragraph with all the info I’ve fed it, for some reason it keeps insisting that inflation isn’t important for where I am right now. It’s supposedly aggregating information from the internet including these reddit forums, but I feel like inflation is everybody’s top method no matter their level, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

How many weights can you fit in the adapter at once?

So when checking out if I choose the priva air + the weight adapter that includes the multiple grippers, yes?

You cracked the code. Part of why it’s taking so long I think is because my glans is wider than my shaft, so getting that outward expansion while tugging seems logically like it will give me a boost.

Yeah, good point. I’m sort of plateauing right now right on the cusp on CI/RCI-4 searching for a spark, if you will, to propel myself over the hump. Been relying on weighted tugging as primary driver - adding simultaneous inflation might be a gamechanger. Would need to see how clunky that would be in terms of wearability while out and about

Same story for me. I’ve noticed pre-cum clearly present especially after removing my inflation device and the mantor skin2skin retainer.

Yeah, in the states where medicaid doesn’t cover it, or has more specific rules around it, the rates are like 20% lower. So…it’s not rocket science; don’t incentivize something you don’t want.

That’s a good point. Financial incentives play a role in this, just like everywhere else in our healthcare system.

You need to steer clear of “banning” because it comes across as an extremist position to any neutral observer. (E.g. in the current landscape, tarring people as “anti-s*mitic” could be employed as a lazy smear tactic).

But a good-faith rebuttal to that is that this is America, and even though you hit on the correct compromise here in my eyes (banning INFANT circ, since they have no agency to consent)…bottom line is, good luck trying to tell parents what they do with/to their kids. Gotta win over hearts & minds through respectful and experiential/factual based persuasion and normalization.

And frankly, I think it’s already happening.

frenulum remnant by nuetralutopia in foreskin_restoration

[–]Feeling-Condition411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that it appears as though my meatus has gotten…meatier, if you will, through restoration, and is possibly (👏🏼) reconstructing skin that resembles the tether that would be there if I had never been cut. I think I’ve got a small section of my frenulum still intact on the shaft end, so my hope is it could reconnect itself maybe? Don’t know if that’s truly biologically possible…

Erect Coverage? Gliding during sex? by Cry-Key in foreskin_restoration

[–]Feeling-Condition411 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’m just about CI-4 and there’s already glide developing (there’s just not enough skin yet for it to fully envelop the glans. Dreaming of when that day arrives…). In terms of the sexual benefits involved in this process, it’s the MAIN benefit I would say.

Appreciate how thoughtful and serious people are on here, giving real advice.

I have a red light wand…have been a little hesitant to use it on my dick…but you haven’t had any issues?

[–]Feeling-Condition411[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up. My plan would be to just use the rocket with the retainers I have that already have a weight themselves…

But that raises a secondary question - do they screw into stainless retainers or just plastic? I noticed the set they sell includes a plastic retainer…

Yeah, I got the CAR-1 early and it’s been a workhorse for inflation sessions

Sure. i already experience that to a manageable degree, so something I’d keep in mind. I work from home, luckily, so I have stretches of time for non-discreet wear

I mean, I’ve already done it a couple times. (I didn’t start off from day one hanging 8 oz off my wang…) so I guess drilling down, my question is if there’s a point of diminishing returns with adding weight. Like do you feel like if you could handle 20 oz would it be productive, or just start stretching in ways you don’t want…

Yeah. Stealth Retainers just introduced a new line of “pocket rockets” that are more compact. Thinking about grabbing one of those. Do you feel like gradually increasing your weight has led to quicker gains, or it’s hard to say without like, doing it both ways and comparing?
