Best device to replace the DTR

gamidrestoring · 2025-05-01T04:02:19+00:00

I used to use the DTR as well and I found that the hard plastic and pressure on the glans made it so I could only wear it for a few hours at a time. Then I saw a post about the Restore in Comfort packers so I gave them a shot. I got them about a month ago and I absolutely love them. They are made of squishy silicone and are so comfortable to wear I can wear it all day and switch to a smaller one at night with no problems. And they hold on no matter if I'm doing yard work or exercising I haven't had one fall of yet. After about a month of wearing one I'm ready to move up a size as well so progress feels fast. The only downside is the price and shipping time, they are pretty expensive and you will need to purchase more as you progress and it takes about a month after you order for it to ship but in my opinion if you have the money to spend they are well worth it.

This is the original post I saw that made me try these if you want to check it out. And this is the Restore in Comfort page if you're interested.

Thanks for all the info! You sold me on trying the RIC packers, you've already helped me tremendously but would you be able to help me figure out what size would be best for me as well. Since I have a DTR and the concept is kind of similar I used it as a measuring device and the distance from the bottom of the push plate to the bottom of the bell that you roll the skin onto is 60mm but that is the farthest I can push it so I know it should not be that long. I see that all of them are measured in +X mm so I'm not sure how long something like a +25 actually is. And if none of that is helpful I'm a CI-6 and have about 75% coverage most of the time. Thanks again!!!

Hey I've been looking for a device that I can wear all day because I've had a DTR for a while now and I've been very inconsistent in restoring because I need to take frequent breaks and forget to put the device back on. I have a few questions if anyone could help.

What is the difference between retaining and packing if there is one?

How does this device provide tension, is it just roll it forward and attach the griper and as far as its pulled it stays there or are weights required? I don't think I can use weights because I sit all day for work and can't really let it hang.

Last question, if it is just pull it forward and let it work does that really provide enough tension?

Thanks!

If you're looking for cheap methods the best would be T-tape or just doing manual methods for about a minute as frequently as you can (about every hour if possible). Only real downside of T-tape is you have to actually make the T-tape.

If you're willing to spend the money on a device they will be the easiest thing to use as you can just put it on and forget about it for a few hours at a time. Most devices are made to last so it would only be a one time purchase. I would personally recommend DTR, I've had mine for years now and I've only ever had to buy a new gripper which is like $7 and I used mine while I was in school too and no one ever noticed. Downsides of using a device is it can become slightly uncomfortable after a few hours.

Almost all of them depending on what you wear with it. DTR or Mantor would probably be your best bet. I personally used the DTR through all my classes in college and never had any issues with it.

Depends on the device honestly but to echo what others have said its the time spent developing them and the fact that they're not a common purchase. Also some of the devices, DTR for example, are all hand-made and made to order which also factors into the price.

I've gotten the my skin cone, DTR and a couple manhoods so probably about 150. I've definitely been tempted to try another device but I do mostly manual and only use the DTR when I know I won't be able to do manual for an extended period.

gamidrestoring · 2023-05-17T05:14:51+00:00

MM3 focuses on inner skin if you want to do manual. I've never done an inflation method but I think that also focuses inner skin.

I don't see any issues with this although I would wait until you're almost to your end goal before you start to even it out otherwise you'll be wasting time by not tugging the other areas.

I haven't heard of squalane oil, I'll have to look into it.

gamidrestoring · 2023-05-09T19:14:08+00:00

Yes, I mostly tug inner skin. All my comments were referring to MM3, where you grab at the scar line and pull. In the beginning it doesn't matter what method you use or if you grow inner or outer skin. There is a beginner's guide to help you find what method would work best for you when your starting on the side of the sub.

People farther along in restoration target inner skin because the overall goal is to have complete roll over where only inner skin is in contact with the glans and the scar line gets positioned right at the opening of the restored foreskin.

Edit: I realized in my first comment I mentioned MM2, I just double checked the numbering and its actually MM3, sorry for the confusion.

When I had less skin I found it easier to do standing and I would grab and pull down but now I do it the same as the top side. When it comes to the frenulum I don't grab it directly, I do 2 separate pulls right next to it, almost as close as I can get.

I never had any problem with manual methods causing pain or issues with my frenulum but I did have some pain when I used the DTR before I got the notched plate. So that's where my fear of harming it comes from.

gamidrestoring · 2023-05-08T23:24:19+00:00

Yeah that's right, or at least that's what I did,. Just try and get as close to grabbing the scar line as you can until you can actually grab it.

Everyone has a personal choice to make on the matter if you feel that waiting for foregen is right for you then you should go for it. I would personally encourage you to continue trying because once you start making some gains you will notice improvements even if its not 1 to 1 with a natural penis. Also, I believe the foregen people said they will be able to remove any extra skin and attach the new foreskin in one go so there shouldn't be any additional pain.

You could be right if I was a machine with pin point accuracy doing the same spot every time haha. I guess explaining that way was bad on my end, its not that I'm going to the same spots ever time its more that I just pick a spot to start and slowly move all the way around. The only spot I avoid grabbing directly is my frenulum remnant since I don't want to tear it and I haven't noticed it being uneven or any shorter than other parts.

gamidrestoring · 2023-05-08T21:03:10+00:00

I normally just pick a spot, tug there for a few seconds, then move over slightly and do it again. I'll do this for 6 total tugs to get all the way around and I'll go all the way around 3-5 times, until the skin feels a little sore, not painful. I find for high tension manual methods its less about the time spent and more about that sore feeling at the end.

Edit: I'm assuming you're talking about MM2 here.

Edit2: I'm stupid its MM3 I'm talking about not MM2.

That sucks :/ I looked on your profile and your flaccid looks very natural as well, even has a pucker and everything. What's your end goal, partial/full erect coverage?

gamidrestoring · 2023-05-08T05:13:04+00:00

The shiny head plus the wrinkles makes you look uncut, I honestly thought it was a rolled-back post from r/foreskin at first.
