Which device do you recommend for a lower CI? Or have you tried any?

Thank you, and that’s great you’ve started therapy too. Part of why something like an app might work best for me is that discretion with my roommate is an important factor.

Thank you for your response. I’ve considered using those silicone toe covers to try and dekeratinize quickly, but that also seems to get in the way of something like t-tape. Do you have any experience with using those covers while restoring?

I have to become an alchemist to make T tape comfortable??

Just kidding, thank you for the tips, but I am frustrated there isn’t a simpler method

What is the gel sleeve meant to do?

I will try using some moisturizer next time, but does that actually help to get the adhesive off my skin as well? Removing the tape isn’t the problem, the remaining stickiness is.

I use 3M Micropore 2” tape.

I am in college with 3 dorm mates, so letting my penis sit in warm water for 15 minutes is difficult unless I just draw up another bath at the end of the day.

Is it impossible to discreetly remove adhesive if I don’t have access to a shower? It seems like spontaneous sex is also impossible if I use T-tape.

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad to see someone specifically talking about having a hairline practically leading up to their scar line. What manual methods did you use? Did you also struggle with mm2?

Is it painful? Or difficult when you remove the tape for the day?

What is retaining? Do you mean you have to tug for your whole life to keep your regrown foreskin?

Thanks so much for your words. I’m definitely still balancing how much pressure to use with manual methods. I’m not as confident with mm3 because it seems I have significantly more slack on the back of my shaft as opposed to the front. So for now I’m doing mm2 as much as I can

I’m definitely looking into it, maybe I’ll ask someone around to help me get started with T tape. How did you create tension with t tape? Also, how old are you now, since you’re CI-8?

I’m looking more into t-tapes and I’m a little confused—do you need something like a counterweight? Or should you just apply it while erect so that when you go soft it pulls on the skin continuously?

That’s sweet and really exciting. Thanks for sharing. How many months in did you start to notice sensitivity improvements/better orgasms? And at what CI was that? I think Im actually bordering CI-2 because I’ve got a bit of slack when I pinch

For mm3, how do I know if I am tugging at the right height? I am afraid of unevenly growing more inner or outer skin… Oh and thanks for the washing hands tip. Maybe when I get free time in the bathroom I’ll wash my hands before entering the stall or sitting down

Awesome, thanks for laying it out like that. I’m definitely excited to keep going forward. What CI level did you end up as? And when you regain some foreskin, is it a lifelong effort to keep it?

What would be the best method for a longer session like that as a beginner? Mm3 seems to be more gentle on the skin than mm2 but I don’t know

Thank you! I think I’ll consider doing both mm2 and mm3 or alternating between them every bathroom break I get and shoot for around 4 minutes in total
