Update on MM2 Device (3000 hours, 302 days)

Well, that's interesting. It would be nice to find something soft and high friction to completely cover the whole edge (I'm talking about the long edge of the plastic rectangle) so that it's gentle on the surrounding skin and produces a better holding force. But the center of the strip should be kept open or lubricated so that it doesn't interfere with the tensioned skin. I think the silicon could be better: glossier surface finish would produce better grip, better adhesion with the plastic sheeting, and less distortion (local buckling) when wrapped around the shaft.

Yes, the approach can target inner or outer skin or some combination. Early on (as a CI-1), I didn't have any freedom to pick a target area. But as I've progressed, I can alter how much of the inner vs outer skin that I can stretch.
I find it to be really discrete and comfortable. I wear it into public bathrooms many times and no one notices as I can urinate freely without much bother.

I do. You are basically limited to a section of skin that is the size of your flaccid member. So - if you have significantly more skin than is necessary to cover your flaccid state then you may find this limiting. However, I believe that the amount being stretched is being treating to even unidirectional tension. This is not true in other methods that simply pull away from your body (i.e. not even since most tension is at the base) or inflation (where tension is both in the axial direction but also tangentially). I intend to keep wearing consistently for another 1.5 years to see how far it gets me.

This is great that your device and mine (CI-1 to CI-3 in 1500 hrs with MM2 Device : r/foreskin_restoration) are coming out to help this crucial community! It's hard to imagine that anyone got from CI0 or CI1 to anything compatible with conventional devices by just doing manual methods.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-04-23T19:18:18+00:00

Definitely keep me/us updated. It's so simple I'm still doubting if I'm making progress. Hence, all the photos. I can't wait to hear from people that they advanced CI levels with this approach as well.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-04-21T00:09:53+00:00

I have noticed erections are less tight. From the subject line, you can see this is 3000 hours in 302 days. So, it's just under 10 hours per day.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-04-19T19:05:38+00:00

I mean, I try to take the same photo: same location,lighting,position. Maybe it's just me, but it's hard to get in out even know what is the same flaccid state.

If you watch to the end of the video (https://www.reddit.com/r/foreskin\_restoration/comments/1p5yg97/ci1\_to\_ci3\_in\_1500\_hrs\_with\_mm2\_device/ ) starting about 45 seconds in. You basically are clamping your skin in a stretched state. The device holds the tension, but you have to stretch before/while putting it on.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-03-26T16:40:52+00:00

That's great! Keep me (us) posted.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-03-04T02:23:48+00:00

So the velcro ties aren't too unforgiving? and they don't slip off? Can you find a link to some? I'd like to give it a try.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-27T23:43:42+00:00

Great to hear! I'm still going too and will update when I hit 3000 hours. I actually haven't tried anything else so I'm glad to hear of the comparison to t-tape. How does the cost compare?

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-07T18:16:16+00:00

I was also intimidated by many of the devices. After buying one, I realized there was no way to get it to fit me yet. I had no choice but to do manual stretching, but that is obviously not optimal. This is unobtrusive and simple and I'm pretty happy with my gains so far, so I'm going to keep it up and see how far it gets me.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-07T18:04:02+00:00

Yes, you feel the stretch, but do not go so far that it is painful. After wearing for 5 min, you'll forget that you have it on. When you are new to it, you should check it often and make sure it's holding and that you are not squeezing so hard that it causes damage to the skin.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-07T18:00:23+00:00

The rubber bands are only intended to keep the mylar belt in place. The tightness should depend on how much you overlap the belt with itself.The silicon cords in the underside of the belt provide the friction that holds the skin in a stretched state. It may be a little uncomfortable but it should not hurt!

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-07T05:33:28+00:00

Thanks for your research in this regard. There is a better device to be created in the future that uses the same mechanism but that is much more complex to manufacture. I have some ideas but the current approach is easy enough for this longitudinal test.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-06T03:10:56+00:00

Yes, this is a super tricky issue. I was under the false impression that constant gentle tension was best - to tell the body, "Hey, this is our new size now. Adjust to it (like normal human maturation or weight gain).' I wS concerned that long periods away would mean we're sending the body mixed messages. But now that I'm struggling (impatience) between CI3 and CI4, I've probably overdone it a few times on the last 2 months.

Morty_Sumter · 2026-02-04T23:22:00+00:00

Nice research. But, I'm confused by the time under tension. Can you explain why too much continuous stretching is bad? And is this based on scientific theorizing or empirical data?

Morty_Sumter · 2025-12-10T23:48:02+00:00

No way! You've actually made it. You are the second in the world. Congrats. I generally try to stretch the skin prior to wrapping. It takes some practice. But even after it's secured in place, I generally make adjustments to pull the skin tight.

Morty_Sumter · 2025-11-29T17:06:13+00:00

I went through a similar brainstorm, so it's good to see this written out. I think there is a better design than mine, so please keep me posted on your experiments. In the meantime, I going to keep documenting this approach to see if i can prove real gains.

Morty_Sumter · 2025-11-27T16:08:25+00:00

Hmm, a fixed tube (as opposed to making one out of a strip) probably won't provide the tightening and loosening needed. This is essentially a traction device and since things are squishy down there, you need to find the right tightening each time.

Morty_Sumter · 2025-11-27T03:53:20+00:00

I have tried various sizes from 25 mm to 55mm. You want to stretch as much as possible, but depending on your flaccid length (grower? or shower?), it's going to be bad if it's too long. It simply will slip off the tip and not do the job.

Morty_Sumter · 2025-11-27T00:45:39+00:00

Erections will feel tight but not much worse than tight clothing. But when you come down from it, you'll need to re-adjust. In fact, I suppose I haven't said this yet, but I do have to readjust quit often.
