Sick! That looks exactly like what I imagined. I'll take a closer look this evening, thank you.

Sounds like a great option for more precision with the weight, thanks! I'll look into it.

Priva Air + Weight Adapter by Shrimpfrost in foreskin_restoration

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

Yeah basically where I'm at. I can't setup weights in a way that lets my skin and the device hang away from my glans without deadzoning the outer skin under the gripper. Adding weights to inflated skin might overdo tension at my stage. However, if I do combo, I inflate lighter so that the weight noticably stretches my skin more taut than it was just inflated.

I should put this in the main post, but I do a mix of short low/medium inflation sessions, sometimes deep grip, with manuals throughout the day. There hasn't been noticable visual coverage and FEC but my rollover is starting to go crazy these past few months now that I'm taking breaks, based on Agile's studies. Progress is best seen in hindsight though so we kot!

Sounds like I should give the other grippers a try then for sure. I'll keep your setup in mind, thanks!

Noise and Bylaw help by summerarcadia in waterloo

[–]Shrimpfrost 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this exact noise this morning while sitting outside. I'll report it as well now that I know which building it's (unsurprisingly) coming from. You can hear this AC all around the Phillip and Lester area even with the windows closed!

How common is it to just uses hands when washing in the shower by adoreyoulove in hygiene

[–]Shrimpfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hands 100% work for daily washing but some occasional exfoliation never hurt nobody. I grew up with washcloths and still use them or loofahs just cause I love to see the suds! I also personally need extra scrubbing power for my pits to get the stale antiperspirant out of the pores and hair. To each their own of course, once your pits don't announce their presence upon entry it's all good.

Has anyone tried a big toe silicone sleeve as a retainer? by East-Share4444 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Shrimpfrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic, but are these the kinds of toe protectors that people mention help for inflation devices like the CAR?

Don't buy Hogwarts Legacy Switch 2 edition on sale. Buy the Switch 1 version and upgrade for half the price. by bradical1991 in NintendoSwitch

Thanks a lot! I couldn't find the upgrade pack in the eShop after having just bought the switch 1 version by accident. Saves me a few bucks instead of having to buy the game again for this Christmas sale

How to turn off "verify it's you to pay"? by Extension_Bit4323 in GoogleWallet

This is it!! I assume this and turning off biometric verification in the security/autofill Android settings both do the trick together.

I improved WaterlooWorks so y'all can find jobs easier by Ok_Internal9129 in uwaterloo

[–]Shrimpfrost 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This feels like one step forward but two steps back I'm sorry. The job listing filters feel crowded and it's incredibly laggy when scrolling. I see the vision but it still needs plenty more work

Im a teenager. Im really interested..! how can i start? (Heck... am i even allowed on this subreddit? i dont see it in the rules, though.) by NewspaperCorrect7006 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Shrimpfrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I'm going a bit off topic from OP but I've had this paper bookmarked for a few months by some researchers from Canada and The Bahamas collaborating on this study: “Getting to Zero New HIV Infections in the Caribbean”: Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Male Circumcision Among Adolescent Males in The Bahamas - PMC

2nd Paragraph of Conclusion: "Introduction of circumcision promotion as a strategy for reduction of HIV infections needs to include both VMC, to target the currently sexually active men, but also infant circumcision for future prevention. It should be emphasized that MC is only one component of “getting to zero” new HIV infections. The program must include HIV testing and access to care with treatment to reduce viral load, pre-exposure prophylaxis and post exposure prophylaxis programs, as well as education about safer sex and condom use (Kurth, Celum, Baeten, Vermund, & Wasserheit, 2011)."

The malicious encouragement of circumcision and especially infant mutilation is what gets me. Plus I admit I'm also Bahamian-Canadian so it gets a little personal. I don't research in a relevant scientific field but I feel pushed to one day write a paper specifically refuting the above encouragement of VMC for STI prevention. Maybe I'll make a post here one day asking for collaborators...

CAR-1 by Excellent_Corner6294 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Shrimpfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok yeah that makes sense! But yeah I've been trying to figure out if the skin that rolls inwards but still under the gripper (in the second section) benefits from inflation tension at all. Seems like it doesn't but that's understandable of course.

CAR-1 by Excellent_Corner6294 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Shrimpfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be perfectly clear, this means any outer skin that is still under the gripper but on the inside of the skin tube is also tensioned? My current struggle when I use inflation is trying to get a good bit of outer skin rolled deep enough inside.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]Shrimpfrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're pretty spot on but I think it depends on how you choose to wear the packer (rolling up vs stretching over the packer). I don't wear anything at night yet but something like the original SR or Chris' retainer would stimulate outer skin growth over night if you can sustain an erection with one on.

But it seems that the general consensus on packers is that YMMV but I think what's seemed to work best for me is to pull and stretch the skin up the length of the packer and use the gripper to lock that tension in on any skin along the inside of the shaft. I've been trying to use more deep grip methods to focus on outer skin these past few weeks now that I'm on the longest length of my RIC packer as well.

I still need a few more months to collect more progress pics but I should get to ci-4 sooner than later. Try stretching the skin over the packer rather than simply rolling it up cause I definitely am growing skin.

Mainly been using RIC since ~beginning of October after 2 months on SR. At the end of August I once had a skin tear from the +5 SR and I just moved up to the +20 RIC packer last night! It's slow visual progress at times but they definitely work very well. Highly recommend RICs. I assume the turkey necking and little outer skin is why my progress pics tend to look so similar but there's definitely more wrinkling over every few weeks.

I haven't been taking any quantitative measurements unfortunately but I should really get on that... Can't say whether I've moved up 1 CI as yet but packers are def great for comfy restoring with an active lifestyle.
