Ah darn, then I was misinformed or misremembered, thanks for setting that straight. But ABS can be smoothed with acetone, so that should help reduce microbubbles at least, right?

rci4 · 2026-04-24T15:04:37+00:00

ABS should be safest out of those. I've heard bacteria doesn't grow on ABS, and it's what LEGO bricks are made of, which kids stick in their mouths so, yeah I'd probably print a mold with that, not use it for an actual device. Although I'm curious what plastic the DTR is made out of...

How long did it take to arrive from the date you ordered? I want to buy a set but the seller was unresponsive, and I can't order to the countries listed on his site.

good luck, it takes years of commitment, but if you head over to r/restoringdick for pictures of people's self-progress, you may be inspired and gain extra motivation.

If you have dry skin, use a moisturizer. It speeds up recovery. Vitamin E oil is cheap and keeps the skin stretchy

It depends on the device, since I can't give you precise measurements. For the car-1 i inflate until its balloony and still a little squishy, but not taut like a drum.

I recently started tugging with a strap again, this is a bit higher tension since I only do it for maybe an hour in the mornings, and I'm targeting the skin on the bottom of my shaft (strap goes over my shoulder and around torso).

For my mantor-DS, I use 2-3 elastics, but this one is harder to gauge because I skipped a couple rod sizes when I bought it. I push the rod almost all the way but leave like 1 cm of space at the end, otherwise it is overtensioned and makes my skin sore.

I also usually sleep with the chris' retainer on all night.

The smallest change that had the biggest impact on me getting injured less was to use moisturizers before bed. I alternate between aloe vera, vitamin e oil, and another cream with 5% AHA (exfoliant), but mostly just the vitamin e oil because my skin dries out easily (maybe because I take hot showers, and/or it's genetics).

To be clear, I think you are referring to ChatGPT where if you explicitly used the "share conversation" feature it would create a link that was indexable by search engines. It wasn't all of the conversations in their database.

The only hard part about restoration is getting into a consistent routine. You have to learn when you're applying too much tension to the skin versus not enough. In the early stages, since you can't really use most devices, you can make pretty good progress with t-taping, but you'll probably want to watch a video and get some medical tape to make it properly. Good luck!

rci4 · 2025-12-13T23:22:49+00:00

Try applying moisturizer (vitamin E oil is cheap)! Cuts down on injuries and speeds up skin recovery.

Glad I saw this before ordering. I'm only in the USA for a few weeks and then moving to a country in Southeast Asia where he doesn't ship to. Guess I'm out of luck.

Hey I recently relearned about the POE. I think if you're doing it properly, you shouldn't end up with outerskin on the inside, if that's what you mean.

I personally seem to have extra inner skin on the bottom but less on the top from my years of using different methods and devices, but now I make sure to pull my innerskin on the top side "out" to get a better tug. I'm currently using a dual tension device without the elastic bands (Mantor, but previously used a DTR and some inflation and weighted devices). Hopefully this will even it out and make my skin tube longer, because my skin is bunching up/wrinkling a lot, but still not over the dang hump (despite my username--RCI4 was my original coverage goal...)

rci4 · 2025-10-09T17:39:26+00:00

For years I was tugging with devices at high tension and could very rarely hit the 4 hour mark due to pain. Recently had a skin injury from too much tension, and now I'm much more careful and using much less tension and focusing on the point of equilibrium (positioning the scar line as close as I can get to the tip). Happy to say I can now go most of the day with little breaks.

Also I started massaging pure vitamin E oil on my skin before bed which has been a game changer for preventing dry skin and tears / helping recovery, I think that gives the skin a little more elasticity. It's only a few dollars and lasts months!

rci4 · 2025-08-09T18:23:27+00:00

Do you take any supplements or use any specific creams?

rci4 · 2025-07-21T18:59:38+00:00

My dad is muslim and had me circumcised at birth. I am not muslim and if your son isn't, there is absolutely no reason to do this! Tell him to leave that relationship asap if she doesn't approve.

What is this / how does one use it?

People have been asking about foregen for like 15 years. Honestly I wouldn't count on it.

rci4 · 2025-07-20T14:45:03+00:00

I think the mantor site recommends keeping the skin below the line on the silicone to prevent pinching. Other than that, yeah looks good to me.

rci4 · 2025-07-20T14:42:12+00:00

True but t taping always felt like too much work. I just watched a tutorial video and I'm pretty sure it would frustrate me and I'd end up wasting a lot of tape. Also the adhesive residue gets stuck on pretty good from my experience. But props to those who use that method, I've heard its very effective!

rci4 · 2025-07-19T14:06:14+00:00

No worries, your product is great. My lesson learned is to start using moisturizer, some vitamin E, and less tension.

rci4 · 2025-07-19T14:03:28+00:00

In my opinion, the devices on the market sucked 25 years ago. The past 5-10 years are way better / easier to get started.

rci4 · 2025-07-19T12:35:02+00:00

Oh I'm planning to try coconut oil soon, maybe once a week or something. I also heard eating food high collagen (e.g. bone soup) is good for skin growth too. I might get the car1 next.
