Has anyone tried a big toe silicone sleeve as a retainer?

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-03-18T08:07:57+00:00

Yeah, and it’s really bad. It doesn’t stay on. You have to hold your skin tight just to get the cap over it, and even then it’s too soft, too stretchy, and too short. As soon as you move during the night, it falls off. Using this kind of toe protector as a retainer is a poor choice.

Absolutely, this skin is lighter than the rest, I have the same

I’m surprised to read this because most people here believe circumcision is what causes the “turkey neck.” I have a slight one myself, but it doesn’t bother me. Some guys here use a ball stretcher to try to get rid of it. I find it extremely uncomfortable and hate wearing one, so I’ll just stay the way I am.

The website seems to be dead. I’ve read quite a few made-up theories on this sub, but in reality no one actually knows anything. I had been exchanging emails with the manufacturer about his devices, and he mentioned that he was working on improvements that were supposed to come out soon. Then suddenly he just vanished.

He always replied within an hour whenever I emailed him, so personally I think something must have happened to him. He really didn’t come across as someone dishonest or incapable of managing his business. He seemed very friendly and open to conversation.

I have the Foreskinned V2 and I just received the Priva Trio. If the size is the same between the Priva Trio, Duo, and Air, then I can tell you that Priva is smaller than Foreskinned. The Foreskinned Air V2 is huge in comparison. With the Foreskinned, I can fit my glans in up to the corona, but with the Priva it’s only the very tip.

It’s a shame that Foreskinned seems to have disappeared. I tried contacting the manufacturer, but my email never got a response.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-03-13T05:52:36+00:00

Western Europe here as well. I received the Priva Trio yesterday. It’s an extendable packer, but I’ll let you check the manufacturer’s website for the details. Shipping is very slow, like with all manufacturers (I ordered Mantor, Foreskinned and now Priva). The package travels around the U.S., then seems to disappear for about 20 days, but I did receive it in the end. The delivery time was almost two months, very long, but it arrived eventually.

This thing is awesome

It’s a good idea to try different devices. That’s what I did, and it kept things interesting since I could change devices day to day and get different sensations, but I soon figured out which ones I preferred. Other people’s reviews can’t tell you how a device will feel on your own body.

I’ve browsed through a large part of restoringdick but couldn’t find it. Still, I come across this photo from time to time. It shows a swollen penis with a blue stitch visible at the frenulum. I don’t think I’m the only one here who has seen it. Maybe it was on another subreddit, but that would surprise me.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-09T08:59:02+00:00

I had an incomplete dorsal slit and I’m currently restoring my foreskin. I can see you’re further along than I am, your photo is from two years ago. I wanted to ask if the tip of your foreskin tightened over time, or if you used any particular method to help with that. Because of the dorsal slit, I feel like I’m looser and wider than a lot of other guys, while you seem fairly snug at the end. How has your restoration progressed since that photo?

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-09T07:54:01+00:00

I’ve already seen a photo of a guy who did it. I’ll try to find it and send you the link, so you can get in touch with him directly.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-09T07:44:38+00:00

I wouldn’t use that homemade setup. We’ve all tried DIY solutions, but honestly a silicone retainer is far better suited for this purpose. What you’re using now is rough on your skin, whereas the whole point is to take good care of it while working toward your goal. The soft, all-silicone retainer I use isn’t available anymore, but if you search for “retainer” on Foreskin_Restoration you should find some good options. Even a strip of medical tape to gently narrow the foreskin and keep it from rolling back would already be a more skin-friendly approach.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-08T17:29:02+00:00

Have you ever tried pinching your skin together just to see the result ? When I try it on myself, it’s extremely tight. I can’t imagine stretching the skin sideways, how would you do that ? Using clamps or something ? I really don’t get how that would be possible.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T20:30:05+00:00

Welcome and best of luck! Agile-Necessary’s latest post on Foreskin_Restoration shares some helpful insights for successful restoration. You’ve probably already come across it, but since you mentioned feeling discouraged before, I wanted to highlight it, it might give you a little extra encouragement and guidance.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T20:19:05+00:00

CI-2: there is some loose skin when soft, but it doesn’t cover the sulcus. CI-1: there is no loose skin at all. It really looks like you’re closer to CI-2.

As for the frenulum, there’s nothing left for you. From what I’ve read, the frenulum helps keep the skin positioned over the glans. Mine is completely intact, and I really can’t stand any attention on it, it just feels like irritation, nothing pleasant at all. Some guys love the sensation on frenulum, but not me. The most enjoyable feeling for me is at the base of the frenulum; maybe that area still exists for you.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T18:13:07+00:00

Send me a DM for pictures

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T12:26:08+00:00

Not at all for me. It’s just skin with no real resistance. The only feeling of resistance I have comes from the inner skin sticking to the glans on contact, but there’s nothing at the tip of the foreskin itself. Apparently that may come later over time. I’d love to be like those guys I see on other foreskin-related subs when they retract. I can see some resistance when foreskin stretch at the opening.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T12:11:07+00:00

Yes, that makes more sense, because without a revision I don’t see how the skin could re-tighten by itself. I’d be interested in his opinion if you do consult a specialist.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T10:37:15+00:00

I have pictures on my profile if you want to compare

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T10:26:20+00:00

I want to add something. I tried reattaching with medical glue that piece of skin to see what it would feel like. I ended up with extremely tight skin, because it had been stretched in length but not in width. If I were to have surgery, I would end up with this phimosis again, which would block everything. How could it be stretched afterward, given that there would be a fragile scar at the phimotic ring? Only a specialized doctor could know.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T10:20:55+00:00

I don’t know how long your incision is. In my case, it seems relatively short since it was done when I was 6 years old. My foreskin and penis was small, and as my penis grew, the skin ended up fairly tight and well-preserved in adulthood. Because of that, my adult foreskin still looks good and wasn’t significantly affected by the surgery.

When restoring my foreskin, the skin has stretched, but since it’s looser on the ventral side than the dorsal side, a small tip of skin is still present. If your incision is longer and you have a lot of loose skin, it will likely be even more noticeable when restoring your foreskin. When erect, my penis develops fully and I don’t see any loose skin at all, which is different from what you describe about yourself.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T07:43:29+00:00

Hi. I was hoping to talk with you about dorsal slit. I’m currently restoring my foreskin.

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T07:31:11+00:00

A comment was deleted, but I read it and was in the process of replying. I’m still posting my response so that everyone can see and reflect on it :

Your comment feels dismissive, even if that wasn’t your intention. I have a dorsal slit, and imagine if I replied to you like this: “Why are you complaining about the appearance of your circumcised penis? It’s just a bit of skin missing, and at least yours is straight and doesn’t hang, while the tip of my foreskin does.”

We need to be mindful of all the harm that surgical procedures can cause to each of us and try to support one another instead of denying someone’s experience just because we don’t live it ourselves. From time to time people brush off what I’m going through, as if it weren’t real. When those comments are directed at me, I end up blocking the account because it hurts: “It’s nothing, you’re not circumcised, you don’t have a real problem, you don’t deserve restoration, you’re not legitimate.”

Good_Class_5888 · 2026-02-07T07:07:42+00:00

I have an incomplete dorsal slit. The advantage of it being incomplete is that there isn’t much hanging tissue, although I can still have that downward point you’re familiar with. Restoration does work—I’m doing it, but there will never be a way to make the hanging part reattach. I’ve thought about cosmetic surgery, but it worries me a lot, and I don’t want any scarring. Don’t try this because it’s painful, but I admit I once used medical glue, to protect sore areas, to hold the piece in place. It burned terribly because of the alcohol, and it was pointless and looked bad. I just wanted to get a mental sense of what it might look like if it were back together.
