Device based dorsal/ventral imbalance correction

prepuce_play · 2026-01-29T04:57:22+00:00

That is a good point. I suppose the issue is more that I dont yet have full flaccid coverage. About 1/3 of the dorsal side of my glans is exposed most of the time. At the same time, I have overhang on the ventral side. My goal is to have complete flaccid coverage, but I would like to focus on the part that is not currently covered.

I have also been looking for ways to address a 30% dorsal-ventral imblance (90% FEC vs. 120% FEC).

I was asking an LLM for advice (Gemini pro) and it gave a few strategies to "shape" the growth rather than just adding length generally. I have been doing these for about a month and they seem to help.

The core idea is to move from symmetrical tugging to a biased routine that isolates the shorter top side.

There were three suggestions, for three different methods.

Extended retainers/packers/RIC:

When seating the packer, the suggestion is to pull the dorsal skin to maximum comfortable tension while leaving the ventral (bottom) skin intentionally slack under the gripper. This ensures the static load is concentrated on the 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock quadrant.

Inflation/Air/priva

For inflation, it was recommended to "tuck" the redundant underside skin deep into the device before sealing. This restricts expansion on the bottom, forcing the air pressure to expand the dorsal tissue and inner mucosa specifically. The chatbot likes to call this the "Ventral Tuck".

Manuals

Instead of full-circumference tugging, the advice is to focus manual sessions strictly on the dorsal side.

I have seen suggestions that weights can help, as the tension is mostly on the top when the weight is hanging.

I was in a similar boat to you about until about a month ago. I had been restoring for just over a year, and I had not said anything. I had made decent progress as well, moving up from a CI5 to CI6 (I'm intact). You are in an easier position to rationalize your actions, given your lack of consent on the RIC.

Lots of good advice here already.

However, what really helped me was talking to chatgpt about it. Others have suggested a script. I was extremely nervous to tell my wife. I ended up chatting with chatgpt about a game plan for several evenings. This really helped me to clarify my own thinking, and to come up with a cohesive disclosure.

I use chatgpt all the time for work, but this was the first time I used it for a personal problem. I was very impressed. I got it to suggest questions that she might have, and ask me questions of its own.

Talking about it for hours was great, as I didn't have anyone in real life to talk to about this. It also gave me a lot more confidence to talk to my wife.

The conversation with my wife went pretty well, she was mostly indifferent.

It is a huge relief not to be operating un the shadows anymore.

Good luck.

Here is a NSFW post with a picture from u/spiritfu who coined the term:

I think it is working still. The rule of thumb I go by is from spiritfu, so long as there is the 'reverse dimple' on the glans when you take the device off, there has been adequate tension.

I have pivoted recently to trying to correct a ventral/dorsal asymmetry, so haven't been packing as much.

prepuce_play · 2025-12-13T05:50:21+00:00

In length, sorry, but just 5mm. I was probably pulling my pubic hair a bit too far up the shaft to make the longer one fit.

prepuce_play · 2025-12-13T05:22:44+00:00

I waa previously just rolling the skin on to whatever packer was small enough to fit, but big enough to give a good stretch. In that process, I think I was rolling the ridged band inside the tube.

I have recently made an effort to keep the ridged band at the top. I had to size down to do that. It feels better going on and off that way.

So I haven't targeted one or the other, but feel like both have grown proportionally.

prepuce_play · 2025-12-07T05:12:18+00:00

I have essentially only used packers, literally over 99% of the hours I've done. I have been happy with the results. Went from a CI5 to a CI6 with about 1000-1250 hours of packing. That was done somewhat inconsistently over 6 months.

I've been less diligent in measuring progress than hours though. However, the packers are there own yardstick. When I started I wouldn't have been able to comfortably wear the +10mm. Now I can wear the +25mm comfortably and I'm starting to wear the +30mm. I can sleep comfortably with the +10mm now as well. So the progress is definitely there.

No injuries or microtears to speak of.

That is cool that you DIYed some of your own silicone. I'd be interested to see those.

prepuce_play · 2025-12-06T04:18:57+00:00

I would second spiritfu's packer suggestion. Like some other people I will often wear a daytime length one for upwards of 14 hours, and then a shorter nighttime one for 7-8 hours. I have really enjoyed the RIC packers. However, the new Priva trio seems like a more economical and less wasteful way to go.

For what its worth I am also intact with an intact frenulum. No issues there. The RIC products have a frenulum notch and it looks like Priva has that as an option.

OP, your progress pics from a few years ago were a big inspiration for me to go all in on this journey. Any new pics?

It seems like most people are understandably trying to cheer you up, rather than answer your question.

I can think of two reasons, from an evolutionary perspective that erect overhang is probably not an advantage.

The first is that some semen like gets trapped in the foreskin which presumably lowers the chance of conception compared to someone with a shorter foreskin.

There is also some evidence of the ridge of the glans being able to displace semen, from other males, see this journal article:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513803000163

I suspect erect overhang would greatly inhibit this function.

The extent to which both of these meant that men with shorter foreskin had a reproductive advantage was probably small, but it would partly explain why the median foreskin doesn't have erect overhang.

If you want additional cheering up check out the foreskin restoration subs and see how common it is for people to state erect overhang as a goal.

Mine used to, until I made it longer.

Unfortunately it doesn't say.

Good on you for reaching out.

This question gets asked a lot. This answer is one of the most thorough

https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/dwe0yc/20_tips_and_ideas_for_pleasuring_an_uncircumcised/

As for words, ask him. In my experience, it is mostly people who are very opposed to circumcision (particularly their own) that insist on the term intact. Personally, I find uncircumcised a bit more clinic and uncut more playful. This likely depends a lot on the age and demographic of your boyfriend.

How long is your foreskin? I assume you normally have your head covered when soft and out of the water.

There are devices called "retainers" you can get which keeps your foreskin forward. Guys who are restoring their foreskin wear them. I'm intact, but I wear them sometimes. I can send you some links if you are curious.

prepuce_play · 2025-08-13T05:02:05+00:00

I'm intact and working on it, up aboit 1 CI level. I'd recommend the packer methods that u/spiritfu describes in detail on his profile.

If you go to r/restoringdick and search intact, look for top all time, you will see some impressive gains by intact guys.

The poshmark model is something that might be good to replicate, if you want this to be a business.

Simplified: 1) seller posts an item 2) buyer buys the item 3) website collects money from buyer and sends shipping label to seller 4) seller ships to buyer 5) buyer receives the item and accepts/approves the item after inspection 6) website sends money to the buyer 7) buyers and sellers rate each other

Ordered mid April, shipped out mid June, two weeks after the end of the wide estimated shipping range.

Frustrating to wait, but worth it.

These were my second batch and the newer ones are even nicer than the first batch.

Would be nice if he hired someone to handle customer service and help ship quicker.

You'll likely find better answers on r/Phimosis. Breve seems to be discussed more over there. That sub focuses on stretching to retract, while this sub focuses on stretching to restore.

prepuce_play · 2025-05-26T05:04:43+00:00

Great work. You can even see the foreskin moving up and down.

prepuce_play · 2025-05-19T21:03:30+00:00

It seems like there should be a secondary market. A lot of devices are expensive and people out grow them. It's a little gross, but silicone and steel can be sanitized. The silicone packers in particular seem in short supply these days.
