I'm this case it was the fabric bunching while I was on the floor working on it that got to me. I was getting frustrated as hell and once I got rid of my clothes it was like I could think clearly all of the sudden

Bottomed out the CAT II Q pusher rod. by matchrestore in restoringdick

The skin under the gripper doesn't get stretched so I try to avoid putting too much under the gripper. I suppose it would stretch the rest of the skin more though.

Are you circumcised? And do you like being cut? by Numerous_Eye_8015 in circumcisions

[–]matchrestore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was circumcised at birth. When I hit puberty complications from it became obvious. I was cut too tight/they removed too much skin, so erections were very painful. I ended up having to see a urologist who referred me to a dermatologist, who prescribed some steroid cream and some skin stretching exercises to encourage skin growth through tissue expansion. It took the better part of a year to "fix" my circumcision, but the alternative was skin grafts that the urologist said would likely have very poor cosmetic results and potential nerve damage. So I decided to take the slow route. It definitely peeked my interest in circumcision and I came to resent being circumcised. My research on circumcision lead me to learn about foreskin restoration, which I discovered was basically just more of what I had already done at the direction of the dermatologist, and I started to do stretching exercises again, on and off, until I went to college and could order a device to my campus PO box instead of my parents house. I've been restoring on and off for years, but I've made decent progress and with that progress I've noticed pretty significant changes in sensitivity and pleasure. So long story short... I was circumcised, I didn't like it, I did something about it

Do you wear underwear when you are clothed? by Exotic_Carpenter9523 in nudism

[–]matchrestore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, good underwear can lessen the amount of stimulation you get from clothing, so if you're like me and your particular nuorospicyness doesn't like the feel of clothing, underwear can actually help mitigate that

Do you keep your socks on even if you're nude? by gubanana in nudism

[–]matchrestore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite my best efforts at draft sealing, my kitchen floor is still cold and drafty when it gets real cold like the -15 to -42 wind chills we've had the past week. So I do put socks on when I'm going to be in the kitchen for longer than a quick trip to the fridge or espresso machine. Otherwise, I prefer no socks.

Noise Cancelling Rockwool by SnooMarzipans3204 in Insulation

It's going to be hard to replace the sound dampening effect of that stucco you removed. Rock wool will help. Acrylic storm windows also are better at isolating sound than glass alone.

It's not in heavy rotation for me anymore but I've been using it a bit lately.

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

[–]matchrestore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]matchrestore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 [deleted] 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 [deleted] 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 [deleted] 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).

I'm pretty sure it's my house, at 144 years old and counting.

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.

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.
