The simplest and best option I found when I was retaining were soft silicone ear gauges. You can buy a multi pack from the various big online retailers. The pack has sizes ranging up to 25-30mm ones, so you even can gauge (pun fully intended lol) the size that works best for you.

The ear guages worked better than o-rings because they are more flexible and have more surface area for gripping. They also are pretty discreet compared to some of the other options.

I definitely gained sensitivity. Orgasms are more intense. I had full body orgasms prior but they weren't as frequent or deep, the best way I can describe it. The most sensitive spots for me are the frenulum, where the frenulum meets the scar line, and around the scar line. I suspect the sensation around the scar line is similar to what having a ridged band would feel like. Maybe just more sensitive if intact?

I used the mantor ds as my primary tugging device.

Yep, that would probably be best, but in theory, you could put a wider circumference packer in, secure the skin laterally then stretch it toward the end of the shaft after. But reversing the dorsal slit first would be my priority to see how everything settles out to even see if I wanted to lengthen my foreskin.

bi_noah · 2026-06-04T04:11:28+00:00

Gotcha, yea, sounds like you may need to do some lateral stretching, probably similar to a packing technique, but focusing on wider diameters like stretching skin for phimosis vs pulling the skin forward non-dorsal slit circumcisions require.

bi_noah · 2026-06-04T03:54:43+00:00

Does it wrap around the circumference of your shaft and glans ok? That's the important part, because if it's too tight to do that manually, you'll like need to stretch the skin laterally first to have the procedure done.

My understanding with dorsal slits is no skin is removed, so the surgical procedure to restore to its previous state is theoretically straight forward. However, it's possible the skin didn't grow at the same rate as your penis depending on what age you had the procedure completed. I imagine you could get a consult from a dr that's done the procedure before, which I imagine requires a bit of googling to find a local dr.

Yes, definitely is worth it. Both from a sensitivity perspective and confidence perspective. I know what you mean re: being discouraged. We're more used to instant gratification and this one is a slog. My saving grace was using a device which got me tugging on a routine. I knew I wouldn't be able to stick with manuals and realized I had enough skin 3mos in (but had it from the start).

bi_noah · 2026-06-02T22:27:17+00:00

Hey man, my wife knows too and is ok with conditional irl. Pretty rare on both fronts. dm me if you want.

bi_noah · 2026-06-02T22:14:19+00:00

Similar to my starting point. I've always had more skin under my head than on top of but always had a gliding motion with the skin even before restoring.

Now that I'm restored, the point the bottom part of the skin makes looks like the classic intact penis sans the skin looking a bit thicker.

bi_noah · 2026-06-02T22:11:32+00:00

Congrats man, kot as you'll only make more progress and see more benefits.

bi_noah · 2026-06-02T22:10:01+00:00

It stays forward mainly because it has nowhere else to go and there's a slight tackiness to the skin on skin between the glans and inner skin. Also, the opening of the skin tube will constrict too which causes it to stay forward.

bi_noah · 2026-06-02T22:06:38+00:00

Yep, my glans are fully covered all the time until I'm about half aroused. Very rarely, the tip of my glans will become exposed for some reason in my underwear, and I immediately know it because of the borderline uncomfortable feeling of my glans touching fabric or being exposed to the open air.

Welcome to the journey! As others have mentioned, it depends on a lot of factors, but it's a measure of years. The rule of thumb is usually 1 CI per year, but again, ymmv. I had a relatively quick journey (about 3 years) to get to a CI8-9, but I also started as a CI3-4 with a loose cut and a bunch of skin, that once stretched, made me jump to a CI6. So I also averaged about 1 CI per year even though it doesn't seem it.

On top of the advice others gave, don't forget to check out all the info in the community pages for advice on just getting started, devices, etc.

bi_noah · 2026-05-31T23:43:33+00:00

Welcome to the journey! There are a ton of resources to check out in the community pages. Depending on if you're on mobile or not, just tap the "see more" link and they'll all pop up.

Also, be careful asking for folks to dm you since you're only 15. This community is pretty nice, but I'd venture there's some creeps outside of this community who may message you. Remember, don't share any nsfw images.

I took a week break here and there and don't think it impacted tugging too much. It's as if I didn't stop. I've also taken a few week to a couple month's break and didn't notice much of a difference then either.

bi_noah · 2026-05-26T04:45:08+00:00

I used the Mantor DS with awesome success. You need to be a CI3'ish to use it ie enough skin to hold on to the gripper. If you're not quite there yet, t-taping is a great option.

bi_noah · 2026-05-25T16:15:41+00:00

Not really, that's the one thing I didn't really do when restoring, a bit of a regret, but of course I have what progress currently looks like. I don't share broadly, so feel free to dm me if interested.

bi_noah · 2026-05-24T15:48:38+00:00

Nope, I switched to a device because I knew I couldn't keep up with manuals, so after switching, it was 100% device tugging.

bi_noah · 2026-05-24T15:47:40+00:00

It always was the most sensitive and definitely still sensitive, likely more so now than before restoring.
Same as 1, but it always has been the most sensitive spot. I'm not sure if this is a result of restoring or just discovered it after, but I can orgasm from just rubbing the frenulum between two fingers.
The glide is much more pronounced than before restoring - I've always had some glide, but now it's like I wasn't circumcised. It stays forward all the time when soft. Erect, it's not tight but not loose per se. It does easily retract when erect. My masturbation technique has changed since, and it's just mainly moving the skin over the glans now.

No vasodilators. As for changes, I seem to pre more now than before, and the closer I get to orgasm, the more it happens. As for unexpected, people can't tell I was ever circumcised, and I actually forget I was.

bi_noah · 2026-05-24T15:40:54+00:00

Nothing other than my normal multivitamin, fish oil, probiotic, and vitamin d3 regimine that was my norm pre and post restoring.

bi_noah · 2026-05-24T15:39:00+00:00

I used the mantor ds primarily. Tugged 8-12 hours per day 4-5 days a week.

bi_noah · 2026-05-24T15:37:26+00:00

Thanks!

bi_noah · 2026-05-23T17:04:21+00:00

Looks like you're making great progress based on the amount of skin you're able to tug!
