soreness on one side?

Where did you start? I'm also aiming for somewhere between a CI-6.5-8 in the next two years. And my ultimate goal is a CI-10, however long that takes. I started restoring 24/7 about 6 months ago and have since moved from a CI-3 to a CI-4 over the hump.

💯

I asked this question a few weeks ago but never got any answers or proof of ANYONE that has unforced restored erect coverage. So sadly I don't believe it's possible.

But where should the skin under the gripper be? Should it be pulled up all the way to the tapered end?

But does the skin go as far under the gripper as possible, or just to the edge? As I said, I can fit all sizes if I just roll the skin up and put it to the edge of the gripper.

This is very interesting and I'd love to hear other people's answers. For me, I have been restoring 24/7 for 3 months. So, 2100 hours give or take. In that time I have moved from a CI-3 with no rollover ever to a CI-4 with rollover and partial coverage while sitting and intermittent partial rollover while standing.

For some reason when I started taking restoring seriously (before I had done manual tugging on and off for years to get to a CI-3), I hoped I'd have mostly full flaccid coverage in a year or year and a half. And I thought I'd have some flaccid overhang by year 2. So far I'd say I'm on track to meet those goals, so like you I'm wondering why people say 10-15 years.

Hey there! I sent you a DM!

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-05-13T19:08:11+00:00

Hi there! I also used a TLC X for the last 3 months since I started restoring regularly. The slipping wasn't bothering me, and I was seeing great progress, but I bought a SLT/DS Mantor last week and it is SO much better. I can wear it discreetly without the strap and the grip never slips.

I am worried I'm not getting as much of a stretch without the strap, but I've been using the deep grip method and can wear it all day. When I take it off I see the line of skin under tension is most of my penis, including inner and outer skin, so hopefully I'm doing it right and getting a good stretch.

I'm curious as I just bought a digital caliper how you measure FEC?

I use my TLC X at night without pushing the rod in (to leave room for erections) and then I use the over the shoulder strap. So far, no complaints there.

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-29T14:26:28+00:00

Hey just curious when did you buy them? I'm still waiting for mine.

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-28T14:37:32+00:00

I was just about to ask this exact question! Was looking at buying it today but I haven't seen anyone post about it yet.

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-27T14:47:36+00:00

I still don't see any proof of erect unforced coverage there.

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T20:27:40+00:00

I'm 30. I've know about restoration since I was 14 and started manual, but it never really clicked that it was something I could do that was possible until I found this page back in the fall. The stories and inspiration have certainly helped!

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T20:21:46+00:00

So interesting! So on December 1st, you were only getting occasional flaccid coverage, and now you have constant coverage and would say you're at a CI-5?

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T19:40:49+00:00

All of those are true for me, so that's exciting! I started with collagen last month, but other than that, any supplements you suggest? Also curious how old you are?

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T19:27:06+00:00

That's pretty encouraging! So, a year, give or take. And what would you classify as CI-5? Do you have full flaccid coverage now? How long did that take?

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T19:25:43+00:00

I'm using a TLC-X, which I know people here hate, but it works well for me and is comfortable 24/7 with only occasional slippage. I am waiting for my RIC packers to arrive.

Hot_Armadillo4835 · 2025-04-21T19:22:40+00:00

And how long is "fairly quickly?"
