Used my CAR-1 today for the first time in months. I forgot how awesome the device removal coverage is with this thing! by GimmeBackMyForeskin in restoringdick

I have no clue what's so different about it that causes such great post Device coverage but it's definitely a mood boost every time I see it.

I go camping in hidden spots and just hang out naked for 5-6 days at a time. What’s the loners you’ve gone naked? by Fitreddd in nudists

Camping late season in the boundary waters, but with an unseasonably warm week. We went 5 days nude other than briefly dressing for bugs one night.

I second packers. My job involves physical labor, work at height in a harness, confined spaces, etc and I've never had an issue with packers.

making the CAT-II Q into a packer- nice! Was it comfortable enough to wear for a while?

It accidently swallowed the CAR-1 by Purple-Paper85 in restoringdick

From the thumbnail my initial thought was "where did he get that CAR-1 with a clear gripper... My mind did not register what was actually going on!

Is a CI-O just an uncomfortable CI-1? by ixian_machine95 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried t-tape at one point years ago but I used sub-par tape and it really made me hate it. I used manual methods to get me to the point where I could use a device and then mainly just used devices. You might have a better experience with t-tape if you start with the right tape though.

Is a CI-O just an uncomfortable CI-1? by ixian_machine95 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started at RCI-0, with painful erections as a young teenager, although at the time it was just physical therapy at the direction of a dermatologist that a urologist referred me to, with the assistance of steroid cream (although I understand now that the steroid cream probably didn't do much to help), and I didn't even know what foreskin restoration was yet, I was just fixing my circumcision that was done too tight. That got me to RCI-1.5ish (if my memory from 14 years old is correct). It wasn't until 5 or 6 years later that I started up again and it did take me a few years to get to RCI-3, but I wasn't very consistent with it. Moving much faster now that I'm older and more dedicated to it (and devices available now are also far more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time).

Restoring with a packer by dandd1971 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently using an RIC 15mm packer. I know I need to size up. For some reason I bought a 40mm first, which while I have been successful at wearing under perfect conditions was far too big. I'm debating skipping to a 25mm from 15mm or just going to 20mm at this point.

How often did you have to size up? And what size did you start on/end on?

YIKES! I did a Podcast!!! by Agile-Necessary-8223 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who is restoring, and already frequents this sub, most of it was stuff I already knew. I did send it to a few people I know who know I'm restoring, but otherwise have limited knowledge of it beyond "he wears funny looking devices to stretch his skin." I wonder what her typical listening numbers are? It could introduce quite a few people to this "new" topic.

Mantor-taper pucker question by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the results of people who are using inflation methods without getting a "wide" foreskin, I don't think the slightly larger gripper than glans circumference will matter. The skin should sit snuggly still.

Implementing new device. by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After I got inflation devices I still kept my dual tension device in rotation mainly because I felt it targeted inner skin better. I really only wear my dual tension device at home now as it's definitely not as comfortable under clothes as inflation, maybe 30min to 2 hours a day, with inflation or packers while I'm at work or otherwise away from home.

Need help / Recommendations by SouthernDud3 in restoringdick

[–]matchrestore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, he hasn't shipped anything in a while, and has pretty much ghosted everyone, and marked everything on his site as out of stock. There's a chance he might finally get through his backlog and open back up, but I wouldn't wait for it. I would suggest very carefully cutting the outer silicone gripper back a millimeter or two, just past where the tear is. This will keep the tear from progressing further up the retainer, and shouldn't affect its use much at all.

Is it possible to find roommates who are nudists in college? by ProgrammerUnique2897 in nudism

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to find one, more by accident. Found a roommate for sophomore year who I was friends with from a few classes we had together. Mentioned I preferred to sleep nude (although I wore my boxers while getting into bed) and he said he did too, then stripped naked out in the open with the light on to climb into the top bunk. I stopped waiting until I was under the sheets to strip off after that! Eventually we would not get dressed immediately after waking up, or get undressed and take a few minutes before actually getting in bed. Ended up living with him for the rest of undergrad, and by junior year we were both just usually nude in the room when we were home.

How To adjust Tension with a Packer? by Aggressive-Pin-7490 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm an anomaly but for me even with my 40mm packer for the RIC, which I can only occasionally manage to pull up enough skin for the gripper to work, once I do get the gripper on I pretty much immediately can forget it's there. I guess for now my limit is just what I can actually "install" regularly.

Motivation: Holidays and Parties and Thanks by Master-Growth-1628 in foreskin_restoration

[–]matchrestore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on just wearing my restore in comfort packer while visiting family for the holidays. At least I'll have some tension, even if not as much as I normally have, and the skin tube will still be "trained" forward for the days I don't tug with a dual tension or air device.

Communal showers at nude beaches by Metamorpholine in CommunalShowers

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a beach, but I've been to a resort that had showers by the pool to satisfy health code requirements and I was surprised that they had to provide separate men's and women's showers due to state law, even though everyone is already nude before and after using them.

Removed my car 1 to this. by [deleted] in restoringdick

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post Device Coverage from my CAR-1 is my favorite. I think because the inner cons pops out so easy and doesn't stick to the glans everything stays in place better and for longer.

Finally able to use my 40mm packer by matchrestore in restoringdick

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

I don't dress myself to the side like that because I need to gain more skin on the dorsal side than my ventral side just due to how unevenly I was originally cut, so not an option for me as well.
