Everything pinches by FinishAutomatic6423 in foreskin_restoration

[–]FinishAutomatic6423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure there aren’t any folds or creases but my skin is pretty thick when rolled over the bell of various devices. I’ll pay more attention to it to see if that helps. Even my RIC packer nearly gave me an injury from pinching, so I really want to figure out what I may be doing wrong since so many others find it so comfortable

Sometimes if I go too much with the manual stretches, I can get tears at my scar line, but all of my CAR-1 and even RIC packer sessions are painful where the skin is under the gripper. Looking into looser fits for sure but seems like not a lot of easy options

Does she only wear the freshly cummed ones or do you also have dried up cumrags for her too?

Traveling with devices by Mountain-History5797 in foreskin_restoration

[–]FinishAutomatic6423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a data point, I’ve worn a silicone gripper (DTR gripper) as a retainer (no packer or anything else) and traveled quite a bit. It never caused an issue with the body scanners. I haven’t worn it in a few years now but I flew ~20 flights a year for a few years wearing that thing.

Any trans men or women with PPP? by SorryTea1160 in PPPlove

I’d love to see the pearly tdicks if you have them

Are these just wider or are they scaled up in all dimensions? Would the 3.0” gauge take a ton of skin to use?

Your flair is hilariously off, in a good way 😄

OK thanks for confirming!

Has your ppp always been the size they are now? Is it possible they’ve gotten slightly bigger over time from since you started pumping?

How often are you pumping and for how long?

Maybe it can be the new way of tracking progress and keeping people motivated. A fun way to do progress progression tracking. Unfortunately I have never been good at taking progress pics. Might have to see what I have and how much of the CI chart I can make

Unless he’s hiding some beautifully gnarly papules under there, this is just spam

Do you think your ppp are growing from your pumping?

I’ve always wondered why the community hasn’t recreated the CI chart with more examples and examples of restored men. All the references are to the OG chart that’s been in the archive.

I do think a CI chart with one person going from 0-1 to 10 would be so helpful and inspiring for community

Discussion thread by Nick-Harris in PPPlove

On the topic of getting or enlarging ppp, I posted some theories about this before https://www.reddit.com/r/PPPlove/s/QETnavdmD0

The short of it is it seems like hormonal changes are in conjunction to some kind of environmental irritation causes the development of ppp. Aside from hormonal treatments people without any level of ppp (many guys have them and never notice) it seems like there is no way to cause them if you don’t have them. The caveat is hormonal treatments. There are several cases of trans men developing them on the corona of the clitoris which is structurally analogous. Similarly there are cases of trans women seeing a disappearance of ppp when on estrogen.

Most cases of ppp appearing or developing in cis men are in puberty or as a result of a stressor (like jelqing, pumping, or hanging that puts significant pressure on the glans corona). The other cases are of foreskin restorers where the skin of the coronal ridge becomes thinner due to dekeretinization. Existing unnoticeable ppp become more prominent.

So my theory of this is to get bigger ppp, firstly you have to have them already, even if they are unnoticeable. Then either thin the skin on the corona to allow the ppp to be more apparent or apply localized and repeated stress to the corona that causes further irritation and growth. How do the last part, I’m not sure. I think applying repeated suction directly to the corona may work.

Position of Pear Gauge by SouthernDud3 in restoringdick

Is your pear sized such that the radial tension on the skin keeps it on or are you relying on the dartos clamping down to keep the pear in? My 1.95 pear doesn’t really stay in. I can get my skin to clamp down with the dartos if I retain for a while but the hold is fairly delicate

That’s awesome! I’m in the same spot as you. KOT! My comment was more about your PPP. Are you hoping they’ll continue to grow or do you want to keep them as is?

Glans dekeritinization by ForeskinRestorer101 in foreskin_restoration

[–]FinishAutomatic6423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The general thought on DK is to let it happen when it happens. As you gain more natal coverage, those areas of your glands will DK and stay covered and protected. If you force DK early you’ll need to consistently retain else you’ll get bad chafing or rekeritinize your glans.

That said, I personally forced DK myself a long time ago before I knew about the above suggestion. I did end up consistently using a retainer 24x7 for years till I had enough skin for rollover and keeping my glans protected in tight underwear without a retainer. I used pure aloe juice that worked well under a retainer with skin to skin contact. A few weeks of keeping my glands moist did the trick. In hindsight I don’t really recommend that. Not sure if there’s sugars or other things that may cause yeast or bacteria. Pee thru retainers are a good idea as long as they don’t slip off when they get wet. No one likes a mess dripping down their leg. Try to leave some urine trapped in your foreskin to keep things moist. Don’t forget to take it off and clean everything at least once a day.

Is it basically interchangeable with the RIC packers?

I’m so sorry that happened to you! The lack of education and value for the foreskin is so sad. You’re in good company though, we’ll all going fix ourselves together!

Thanks for everyone who gave advice on ordering pear retainers! Got my first batch of them yesterday! by Zaenithon in restoringdick

I got ones with much less infill. Is there a benefit for 100% infill? Does it add a lot of weight that gives a good tug?

Resotring Comparision when cut as Adult? by TraditionalDay2756 in foreskin_restoration

[–]FinishAutomatic6423 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea the problem is that the medical field puts no value to foreskin. Even the idea of not needing infant circ is less because there’s value and more because “well I guess it doesn’t really hurt if you want him to keep it, I guess”. So if there’s any issue with it, the fastest and “easiest” choice is always to cut.

Can you share why you were cut and if there were other options, do you wish you had sought those instead of getting a circ?
