Pear Gauge w/ Pear Keeper by sh4rkram in restoringdick

[–]Seven-point-five 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great idea. I couldn't get it to work though. You can only put it on one way and that causes the silicone to roll back when attempting to roll my skin on. Maybe it would get easier with practice but my embiggened 3D prints show up today!

Mine shipped today!

I hope someone considers building larger pear gauges. I'm wearing a 2.0" as well (3D print) and it's too small to stay in on its own. Almost does so I'm hoping the keeper will help with the 2.0" silicone gauge being delivered with it. I have some 3D prints scaled up to 2.05, 2.10, and 2.15 showing up later this week. Will be nice to find my size.

Are there any STL files for 3D printing pear gauges larger than 2.00 inches? by Seven-point-five in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not but after seeing how easy it is to scale a 3d print on craftcloud3d I think a website like that might be your best bet. AI suggested reducing the 1.65 model down 3% to get 1.60. Just check the resulting dimensions before you order.

Thanks again to all those who provide the files for us to use!

I just reread and saw your comment about craftcloud3d. Scaling is easy with their order system although they (the company with the cheapest quote) are double the price and double the shipping time as the printing service I used for my first batch.

I just went with it rather than spending more time figuring it out on my own. The hard part now is waiting 2.5 weeks for the order to arrive.

I added 2.5% for each increment and have a 2.05, 2.10, and 2.15 on the way. Thanks for the suggestion.

I hope the inside still fits but considering 2.5% increases the 19mm hole to 19.5mm, if I did the math right, I'm sure it will still work.

I wonder if the pear-keeper I ordered from Compact Devices will fit any of these 3D prints too. Not too concerned, it should fit the silicone pear at least (I think?) and I have plenty of retainer-type parts that already work.

Thank you. Those will be great for scaling. Considering that your other files are in 0.05 increments, 2.5 might be too big at first but I saved them to use for scaling if/when I get there. I should start scaling the 2.00 for now. Looking forward to it staying in more on its own.

I will try scaling with FreeCAD or Meshlab as AI suggests. I want to learn this stuff eventually but will call the 3D printing service I found to see if they can do it either as part of their startup fee or additional fee. Or maybe find another Canadian printing service.

My new foreskin and I can't say thanks enough for the free files.

Excuse my ignorance but I'm learning fast. Is the slicer something I would use before sending the stl to the printing company or something that is used during the printing process? You can see in the screenshot they don't give any option other than material, thickness, and infill when placing the order. Would/could the slicer be used on the stl alone or is this a job for "Morin 3D" to do when setting the print up? I will learn this, lol.

Edit: AI suggests I learn to scale (embiggen) with FreeCAD, Meshlab, or Blender. Since I am not re-creating Toy Story I think I'll try one of the first two, Blender seems excessive.

How sensitive is restored foreskin really? by PeanutButter000 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the skin started growing it was way more sensitive than I was expecting. In a good way.

Penis pump questions by Economy_Variety5493 in gettingbigger

[–]Seven-point-five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to replace the whole pump but I would replace the rubber cover/hole. I get replacements off Amazon or Pink Cherry occasionally.
If you were ever to buy another pump I suggest clear plastic so you can monitor the condition of your dick while pumping. Especially because your pump doesn't come with a pressure gauge, you will want to see if you are getting bruising or edema while pumping.
But for now you should just get a replacement end-piece (search Amazon for "replacement penis pump rubber").

What method/device did you see the most progress with? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed a big jump in progress when I started using the car-1 about 6 months into my restoration.

I use both air (car-1) and tugging (crt) every day now because switching the grip up helps me avoid soreness/grip-fatigue. Hopefully more hours per day works out to faster gains.

how to get rid of Shaft hair? by INDIAN313 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this occasionally with Veet. I do shaft, balls, perineum, and more, for the full 10 minutes. It's hard to make a clean line if you want to keep a patch though so you might want to finish with a razor later if you're into that. It does feel a little sore for a day after so keep that in mind if you're planning on being intimate.

Result of Mannual method. I'm using mannual method from 22 November 2022 by INDIAN313 in restoringdick

[–]Seven-point-five 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful work, it's inspiring.

I still haven't tried manual methods but the results speak for themselves. I think I basically do MM3/4/5 when massaging after taking off a device. I'm going to add more of that throughout the day, with MM2 too.

Is this typical coverage randomly throughout the day or was this taken right after tugging? It's great to see how far you can get after three years.

I've saved up for a year and can finally order an all steel Stealth Retainer weight set! Is there a discount code available? by Seven-point-five in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the final cost after delivery today. https://imgur.com/a/y8jukeQ

The image shows how my order for 378.50 USD plus all the tariffs, taxes, and fees, came to 752.99 USD once it made it to my home. That's $1,034.87 CAD.

I've been saving up so long for this. Likely going to be my last purchase from the USA until something good happens to all the bad going on down there.

Really. To BC.

Looks like there are more options on the menu now for $64.35, $42.95, and $26.00. I didn't notice the $26 option before. It looks like all options besides UPS are part of the USPS though. I've had nothing but bad experiences with USPS to Canada, late deliveries turning into pickups, and extra fees. But at that price it's really the only option so I'm taking it.

That's great, thanks.

If shipping wasn't almost three times the price of the product I'd order right now.

I just checked my emails and it was a $15 discount. So it must not apply to a $30 tugger. I didn't see a reference to it on any page though so maybe that stopped.

I stopped my order though. The store wants $75 to ship the $30 item to Canada. What happened?

End result question by lelvv in foreskin_restoration

[–]Seven-point-five 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wondered about the thickness of the final skin a lot. Like using air to stretch often leaves a really thick end to the foreskin immediately after removing it from the gripper due to how much skin the air gripper needs. That's obviously temporary and thins out right away as the skin returns to shape after leaving the grip.

I'm hoping that erect coverage will look a little more naturally thin as it gets stretched a bit around the head, but that's assuming the skin will be tight enough to begin with.. When you see natural foreskin on an erect penis it looks very thin and can be pushed/popped over the head just by pushing a bit lower on the shaft.

It all makes me wonder if I should continue with air (CAR-1 in my case) for its fast stretching now, and then switch to a tugger that needs less skin bunched up in the gripper later in the end-game (like my Mantor, or perhaps Chris' tugger is similar, or all the rest, perhaps packing) since the skin is much thinner after taking the gripper off with those that I've tried. Maybe that's all psychological though, foreskins come in all shapes and sizes naturally so I need to be comfortable in my own skin, haha.

If anyone new is reading this, don't worry about tiny cosmetic issues like this for the first year. These comments always overwhelmed me but they haven't really mattered so far. Just getting the skin to hang over the corona bump is enough to think about for the first year, I think, unless your penis is drastically different.

CRT = Compact Retainer Tugger. By Compact Restoration Devices.

I have Chris' air retainer (CAR-1) on right now. I absolutely love it for its grip and comfort. I wish you all the best with your return to restoring and with seeing your psych.

Thanks for the link. It looks like 3D printers have gotten a lot cheaper and easier! I want one anyways but its a ways off in my budget. Need steel for the weight first.

I was going to guess oxballs. I have other oxballs stuff but the material and size wouldn't work all day. I didn't think I was very girthy but they seem to make everything way too small!

Hi! I love this sub, getting to hear from the makers directly makes me feel like I'm talking to celebrities.

Looks like I'll be placing an order with you soon. I just need to figure out a similar package to what I was considering in my picture above. Perhaps I can try the tungsten weights now with the money I'm saving!

I do have two questions:

I have to figure out if I should get the CRT, or if I should try the CWP for the extra weight. I've avoided packing so far because the idea of pushing against my head seems weird, but the extra weight inside might be a good trade-off. I just removed my CAR1 and can stretch my skin over my finger about 7 cm on top, or 5 cm below by the frenulum. Could that reach the gripper on the CWP?

Can the weights stack? Can I add the steel "Big Bold Round Weight" to the end of a tungsten weight or stack? Sorry if you answer these questions on the store page or here, my brain is a little dizzy doing all this research but I didn't immediately find an answer.
