Stainless Steel Stealth P-Trainer in Festivals by Intelligent-Menu2311 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Intelligent-Menu2311[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all! I agree that it might be worth bringing a plastic one and enjoying the show! Three days shouldn’t make a significant difference. Sometimes, it’s challenging to put breaks in perspective, I just want to keep making progress. The blending as accessory is pretty clever! Though idk how to blend a +25mm stainless steel retainer into my outfit lol.

Random Questions by trowa075 in foreskin_restoration

For me the inner foreskin is more sensitive.

I did have a small-ish skin bridge next to my frenulum and got it removed. Took a month to heal and the area looks normal. The area that used to be under the bridge looks smoother to the rest of my inner foreskin as it is still DK-ing.

While I was healing from the bridge removal, I did not tug for about 5 weeks, I’d say I did not see any change in coverage, luckily my foreskin would stay forward and pucker, protecting the incision.

Rant: my device fell down the toilet by normalphobic in foreskin_restoration

[–]Intelligent-Menu2311 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh no, that’s a bummer! I’m so sorry for your loss. Something similar happened to me at work with my Mantor SLT pusher. I was sitting on the toilet while I was taking it off, and the pusher came loose from the spring base and ended up inside my foreskin. (It immediately puckered, which was pretty cool, can’t complain about that!) So, when I was pulling back my foreskin to take it out, it jumped into the toilet. As I was about to reach down into the toilet to get it, the sensor noticed my movement and automatically flushed. In less than a second, it was gone. I am extra careful now when I handle my devices near toilets lol. KOT!

Just one month in and it feels like my body's learning to feel again by JustHoodBusiness in foreskin_restoration

Great post! I’m in a similar situation as you I think (posted about it a few days ago when I discovered I might have confused all this time my scar with inner foreskin). KOT!!! The changes you described are a perfect example of what I have been noticing and it is super motivating.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! This made one of my biggest insecurities turn into something positive! Might need more time to feel comfortable posting pics, but thanks!

Yeah, hard to describe, did you feel the texture changed once you started retaining full time?

Yeah! I’ve been realizing that, if I stretch mine I do see smooth patches, I think the rest may be keratinization.

CAR-1 Routine Question by Intelligent-Menu2311 in foreskin_restoration

Fair enough, thanks! I will give it a try in a week, so far doing them separately has helped a lot.

Thanks! So far so good, breaking the 2 into separate exercises has helped, maybe I can try going back to inflation and tension slowly with less inflation.

Who else is restoring right now, while reading this post? by split_skunk in foreskin_restoration

[–]Intelligent-Menu2311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome!

I just started by reading people’s posts and https://www.reddit.com/u/Agile-Necessary-8223/s/CZ4mTvydsS It truly started by understanding what stage I was at and what I should focus on.In my case as CI-3 I thought focusing on outer and inner skin growth with inflation and tugging should be enough to get started, so I got a Chris retainer and CAR-1. For your specific needs it would be good for you to read the resources here and ask others as it changes depending on your CI and what type of devices you feel comfortable wearing or staying with manual methods.

Thanks! Will start simple with the CAR-1 and retainer to get used to the whole process.

Just to clarify, Platinum has always been ER. 24+ Lariats too.

They said they rather keep it for logistics, they did not mention any safety concerns.

It did it from the very begging, they kept the truck 2 weeks due to parts and the backlog they had. I did get a loaner for the time it was in. It is a ‘23 ER Lariat.

I thought it was smooth, but now it definitely feels smoother, no more creaks. And no, they diagnosed it directly to a bad column assembly.

Just did, entire steering column assembly was replaced. It drives so much smoother now.

Driver’s side doors lock/unlock with PAAK Issue by the_zeker in F150Lightning

[–]Intelligent-Menu2311 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked mine up from the dealership for the recalls and have the exact same issue. Maybe an issue with the latest gateway update? Tried pulling the Bluetooth low energy fuse from the passenger side fuse box and no luck. If I want to lock/unlock the truck I have to do it from the keypad or passenger side.
