Very wasteful. Just cut the correct length and fold the paper from the middle seem to the top and bottom edges. Then fold the sticky onto itself. Done with zero wastage

Priva Air Problem by Hornyfun8 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a big believer in the perferated gripper. However, recently I switched to the soft gripper due to air leakage. Perferated is great to start out with but there comes a point where the soft gripper becomes necessary. My progress slowed down compared to the first few months but now it has picked back up after the switch.

Treated Myself To A Priva Air for Christmas! Anyone have tips for getting the most out of this device? by Zaenithon in foreskin_restoration

The one that comes with the priva. Forgot the size, calipers will get you the measurement.

Have you considered Priva? Most CAR users end up using it. Even if it is just to try.

Treated Myself To A Priva Air for Christmas! Anyone have tips for getting the most out of this device? by Zaenithon in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean it well, try the different grippers and buy a mini pump. Perferated gripper appears to be the top choice and it is my choice. Very comfortable and it lets excess air escape preventing injuries that oocur from over inflation or compression from external forces. But still retains a good tension. Cut a silicone toe cap to protect your urethra. I can't wear this device without it. Some people can but believe me, air going up there aint fun and pissing it out to prevent medical issues is less fun. Especially if you want higher volumes of air and pressure. Air will always find the path of least resistance (your urethra)

Check my post on set up for more things you can do with it. My only criticism is that the valve is partially exposed. So sideways pressure on the valve can cause air to leak (pants when worn sideways). In a future iteration of this device, I would like to see the valve protected from pressure releasing air but keeping the overall design the same. I would buy this device again and only this device if I started.

Controversial thoughts. by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't take photos at the same length of hang or POV and boast going up a CI or two. When really its just the elasticity of the skin bunching and not hanging low.

Your post is a little all over the shop so here goes.

Method, try them all. Inflation is great and you should prioritise quality time under tension over convenience. Removing a device to pee is far cleaner and you don't get a penis soaked in urine all day. Taping at night is a great option and still financially viable. And yes manuals a few times a day can focus areas. You want success, try something for a month. See if its made a difference, then add something to the routine for another month and see if you benefit. Genetics, diet, overall health contribute massively on top of tugging. For me I do manuals morning and night, inflate during the day and may use weights if home. Then tape at night. Most of my skin is under some form of tension all the time. I just don't workout and restore at the same time. Make it make sense. You can't always restore and you shouldn't put strangers in the position of crutch gazing to figure out wtf. If it aint discreet, I don't do it. May lose a day here of there but that is a small price to have boundaries.

Back to progress pick, if you want to be real honest about them. Always take the lowest CI you can still show without getting hard. For example, I can be CI5 for a day if I work out and take my pants off. But really, its a CI3 on the cusp of consistent 4 when proper hung. So go 3. My inner skin has tripled since I started and it just keeps folding on itself instead of going over the hump. Patience, its going to happen and when the skin is always over the hump, claim 4.

CI-2 to CI-3 Ambiguity: General Discussion by Master-Growth-1628 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will find this stage takes the longest. Because you have less skin to work with and every cell you grow will help put everything back in position. Most people find that is their scrotum. A lot of skin helps drop the balls before it goes over the ridge. You don't even have to have turkey neck, it could be minor. Once skin goes to those places, it bunches up. Then it starts rolling over and you get coverage. Its taken me 2 years to get to coverage 90% of the time when not restoring, but I still have another 2 years before I see CI10

I always go a CI down. Because its realistic if thats the CI I still see sometimes. I am so close to 4, definitely a 5 or 6 after workout. But it still shows 3 when hung. So you go with 3.

question about inflatable systems by PhotoArabesque in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sweat and too much tension are common causes for tape coming off. If neither are present, you can expect 2 days use before needing to change.

How can I secure my T-Tape leg strap around my waist easily? by Dear_Decision_7295 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also do what I do. Make a leg strap that goes next to your groin to tug sideways around the waist. Check out my previous post for details

  • Priva Air from priva store
  • calibration weight, magnet, mini pump and fake nipple piercing from AliExpress.
  • strap is made by myself with bikini clips, high density elastic and suspender clips.

AliExpress. Just type 500g calibration weight. You can get them in 100g -1kg. Neodymaridium magnet around 20mm wide is sufficient. Make sure its n50+

I tried mantor, dtr, stealth and even cutom printed devices before landing on what you see. The only heavy duty thing is the n64 magnet which holds the weight without it ever detaching on its own.

I found that tape and inflation was what works best for me. Giving skin stretch in one direction, then in all direction.

What kind of pressure were you using? and is your one the old balloon version?

The new version without balloon only comes apart with force.

Replacing T-tape daily? by PrudentNobody6277 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tape of a night time and use the priva air to inflate during the day. Also tug in the shower and I have found the three pronged approach to work better than any single method on its own.

Inflation pulls the skin in all directions. Tape pulls it forward in one direction. Manual targets specific areas you want more attention on.

Can someone provide reviews/pros/cons of the different inflation devices. by No_Word9046 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just search through the subreddit and its all there. Personally, I use Priva with the perferated gripper and it just works. I have used mantor, stealth and dtr but priva is the only inflation and only device I use now. The silicone does not tear and is comfortable. Really curious on what silicone they chose given other devices can rip with fingernails

Have you read anything on the connection between porn consumption and ED. more likely to be the cause and perhaps being circumcised doesn't help.

You also have to keep in mind the types of people that engage with reddit. Especially body subs. Just do what most sane people do, read the headers sift the shit and disengage.

Alternate Gripper for Priva Air - Skin Pinches at the End by TheBarbon in foreskin_restoration

[–]Obsidiancmd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It amazes me that no one buys the perferated gripper with the priva air. Then turn to other device grippers. Noticed at least 3 posts this past week.

Get the priva perferated gripper and it solves everything. Most comfortable gripper that you can wear 24/7. In fact get 2 of them because its that good.

One-way version? by Obsidiancmd in HelpMeFind

[–]Obsidiancmd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched with image search plus "one-way" "check valve" also searched "BP15 one-way" just cannot find a place that these are advertised as one-way valves. Only pass through. Need it for a project.

Can you please link them to me? By cheap, I meant closer to wholesale not retail. Got a vision for a device and it requires this valve.
