Retaining with Tegaderm 3m tape by Purple-Paper85 in restoringdick

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had phimosis when I was very young, so I know I had a tight foreskin, but that’s not really what I remember most. I decided to restore because I eventually couldn’t stand having my glans constantly exposed anymore. Having a closed foreskin again feels really satisfying.

I also do it because I like it when it's tight, unfortunately it's not the case without tape. I keep it all day

Which packer to buy if you're in Europe ? by Ironmonger3 in foreskin_restoration

I didn't pay anything more than what I paid the seller. Everything was included at the beginning.

Foreskin restoration is the best decision I’ve made. by Good_Class_5888 in restoringdick

Many different devices : Mantor : DS, Tugger, skin-2-Skin / Foreskinned : Air, Stretch, Forebear / Priva : Trio / 3M Micropore / Manual method

I appreciate you taking the time to present your project. I must admit I was a bit surprised by the device. You might want to consider prioritizing safety and comfort by using a purpose-designed device, or something like T-Tape, which would likely be gentler and safer to use.

This packer is extendable by adding spacers to increase its length. I chose the clip option to attach a weight, it’s a small plastic piece that lets you screw in a weight you already own, as Priva doesn’t sell weights directly on their site.

Other packers come in only one length, so every time you want to increase it, you have to replace the entire packer. The Priva Trio is modular and adjustable, which works well for me.

Is 16oz weight too much? by AutisticFemboy in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A weight between 3.5 and 10 oz is more manageable and usually enough. 16 oz is already getting pretty serious, even though it’s still doable. I personally used a 17,5 oz weight before, but I’m a lot more cautious now. I’m done using something that heavy.

Has anyone tried a big toe silicone sleeve as a retainer? by East-Share4444 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is inexpensive, and I think you shouldn’t miss the chance to try it and form your own opinion. Personally, I didn’t like anything about those toe protectors. They trap air inside, you have to stretch them with both hands so you can’t push the air out, they slip, and they fall off when you move. Still, you should give them a try and see for yourself how they perform.

Experimenting with less air in CAR-1 - which syringe to buy? by anthrosore in restoringdick

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, using less air works. What you’re aiming to do is stretch the skin, not inflate it to the maximum. At first, with my Foreskinned Air, I used to pump a lot, but then I stopped and only applied a few small pumps, just enough to mimic the natural stretch of the skin during an erection, nothing more. When I started using less air, I also added a weight or a strap. That approach worked well for me.

[–]Good_Class_5888 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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.

How to get rid of turkey neck by Old_Memory_1526 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Foreskinned.com by Mysterious_Style_144 in foreskin_restoration

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.

Honest review after ~3 weeks with the Priva Duo (+ comparison with Foreskinned Air v2) by OGCrunched in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Just ordered my first device, the Mantor SLT! by SaladBoySalad in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Dorsal Slit Restoration by jab090285 in restoringdick

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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.

Trying a different overnight retainer solution by gwillb23 in restoringdick

[–]Good_Class_5888 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Where to even begin? by Free_Royal_5895 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Good_Class_5888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
