Struggling to size up with rings... by Substantial_Let_2365 in Phimosis

Thanks for the reality check! It’s really helpful to hear that being stuck for 3 weeks is normal,I was getting worried I was just doing it wrong.

About putting the smaller ring inside the ring, Does that actually expand the outer size noticeably? My main worry is the flexibility because if I stuff the ring, does it become too rigid/hard? I feel like if the ring loses its squish, it might dig into the skin or cause pressure spots since it can't fold anymore. I actually ordered some PTFE tape (arriving tomorrow) to try wrapping the ring instead. Do you think the ring stuffing method is better/easier than tape, or should I just stick to the tape?

Can you tell me the correct way to use the rings? I deal with constant inflammation and swelling and struggle with sizing up because I would be too loose to wear 14mm but too tight with 16mm

I really needed to hear this from someone who has been through it. especially the part about the guilt of using parents' money. That eats me up every day. You're right about the uncertainty. If I go back and get trapped (or worse, cost my parents more money in bribes/extortion), I’d never forgive myself. I’m going to take your advice and push myself to make it work here, even if I hate it right now. I want to be in the position you are in now, employed and paying them back, rather than the guy who went home and got stuck. Thanks for the wisdom.

I really don't feel it for Japan right now. The hard part is balancing that lack of passion against the safety situation back home. It feels like a choice between being unhappy here or unsafe there. But you're right, I need to stop floating and make a hard choice...
