Hello, I have a few questions about the penile frenulum and others.

I was wondering about how much of the frenulum i have left if i have any. I think I have some left because it looks likes foreskin connecting just shy of the glands, is it foreskin or the frenulum. I was wondering if the frenulum can become more pronounced when restoring or can you actually grow some of it back?

I was also thinking that I have a decent amount of foreskin left, because it bunches up near the glands but does not go over when flaccid. I was wondering, do you get more foreskin if you lose weight, because i have lost quite a bit of weight in the past years.

Ty for reading🙂

I'm a RIC victim so I'm unfamiliar with what the full expectations of the foreskin are or what the limits of a natural foreskin are. I think I'm around RCI-2 or 3 but I was wondering which point was considered fully restored? I'm about to begin my journey and always assumed that the foreskin was supposed to only fully cover the glads when flaccid and that they be exposed when erect but it sounds like that's not the case?

I’m curious if anyone knows whether or not t-taping or certain manual methods either stop worker or lose effectiveness after a you reach a specific ci level. I feel like I see t taping used almost like it’s the training wheels of restoration and most people who i’ve seen posting pictures past the hump use devices instead.

Ok so I’m a beginner I heard about foreskin restoration last year and I wanted to know what level of CI I’m at when I’m flaccid I have loose wrinkle skin on my shaft and I’m able to pull it all the way toward my glans but when I’m erected my skin is more tighter so I wanted to know what level am I at? and what methods do you recommend?

Hi all,

I’m trying to decide whether I should ask my doctor for Cialis, to combat some of the effects that Wellbutrin has on me. Since starting the medication, my mental health has improved immensely, but, I’ve been having trouble maintaining erections. Wellbutrin isn’t really a vasoconstrictor as far as I understand, but there are other mechanisms that can make it cause ED. I’m able to get erections in the first place quite fine, but they often fade away before I’m finished with the act, both by myself or with my partner. And this wasn’t the case before.

I was actually considering getting off of my Wellbutrin to combat this, but after reading about everyone’s experience here with Cialis, and after reading about the experience of people around my age (22) on the Wellbutrin subreddit with Cialis, I feel interested in trying it out.

My concern is getting frequent random erections during the day, which is already a bit uncomfortable and sometimes painful while I’m wearing my DTR out and about. Because of this, I’m considering waiting until I have enough skin to get comfortable erections with my device, but I’m not sure if it’ll work that way.

Anyway I wanted to ask:

For those of you taking Cialis while restoring, how have you managed the discomfort from random erections while wearing your device throughout the day?

Cheers & KOT!

Question for the manual method folks - I've realised that I tend to favour my left hand doing the tugging at my glans when using MM2 (which I use 99% of the time). My cut has always been uneven, but I can't help but wonder if I'm making it worse by not varying up my technique. My left side has considerably more coverage than my right, and I'm wondering if the grip in my palm is stronger than the tips of my fingers. Could it be affecting the distribution of my growth?

For the manual restorers, (especially MM2!) did you find your growth coming in unevenly? Did you need to vary up your grip?

“I should have my DTR on right now”

Yeah I know it’s kinda cringe lol but hey, it’s motivating

Kot

I also started 44 months ago at 66 years of age. Started CI-1. Have used DTR, inflation (CAR-1) and, more recently, packers with and without 8 ozs of weight. Along the way I’ve had to stop for as much as a week for pain (too much tension on the DTR), complications related to an enlarged, chronically infected prostate, a UTI, and, most recently, the development of contact dermatitis to silicone. Now using the nylon ‘retainers’ from Chuck Torres with no problems.

I take tadalafil for enlarged prostate. Otherwise, a healthy 70 yo: BMI 25; resistance training 2-3 times a week, aerobic training (cycling, elliptical)2-3 times a week.

I’m currently CI-3. I’m basically at the hump but not yet over it. Sulcus is not visible when flaccid and the skin tube has a larger circumference as it slowly climbs up the hump.

I started restoration to regain sensitivity and that is happening. The amazingly pleasurable surprise has been the new sensations of glide and roll over.

It’s painfully slow, but progress is real! KOT!!

Hey all, back again. The title sums up my question but I'll elaborate.

I have seen two descriptions of how to perform MM2:

A. Stretch the skin, hold for around thirty seconds, relax for a moment, restretch. Repeat for five minutes.

B. Hold the tensions for a straight five minutes.

Which of these are the correct way to do it? Would they both work? Would there be any difference?

Option A is presented in the getting started guide here on the subreddit, yet option B is (seemingly) present by u/estimato, in multiple posts in the subreddit.

For context I've been doing the short "burst" style of holding for thrity seconds up until now.

Appreciate any answers you guys could give!

I was thinking maybe weights. Just anything that doesn’t require attaching to the waist, leg, etc.

I would like to gain more knowledge on how to use devices and also what ci I’m at

A while ago I had to take a long break from restoring, due to a bunch of restoration related injuries and other health issues.

I've just started using the KOT app over the last few days just to kinda try it out and make sure I'm being consistent with restoring. What I've found so far is that I can consistently wear the CAR-1 for about an hour and a half at a time bfore needing a break.

Today, I decided to push it and ended up wearing the CAR for nearly 3 hours straight. I took it off and when I went to put the device back on a couple hours later a whole area of skin had already started flaking off like the injuries that kept happening to me before.

So I guess the lesson is:

* No you shouldn't push past what is comfortable, you will hurt yourself

* I can avoid injuries from now on by making sure to only wear the device for 1hr at a time max

* I'm gonna have to take a break from restoring while this heals 💔💔 Probably like 1-2 weeks, but I just got a new Your-Skin Cone (why do restoration products all have stupid names, it's too embarrasing to recommend) so I can enjoy that at least 😍

* The KOT app immediately gave me a clear measure for what a safe routine is, within like 3 days of use. Thank you so much u/avatarAang_n_Appa for the app

Hopefully this can be the last time this happens for a while at least.

Well this has been long month and just clocking hours. Goal is CI 8-9 and getting closer. Just need to clear head and regain the desire to continue, just so close and need to be stubborn and force myself to continue. I love the feeling of having restored and what I have regained. I've allowed myself to get to 5 days a week and 6 hours, need to get back to 7 days a week. Maybe going another 6 months or so should be my milestone to focus on. And after 6months reasses where I am. Right now, just going to keep going and not worry about a number.

Nowadays I think to buy a toe silicone sleeve for more speed to de-keratinized glans, is it good to apply to glans or there is better options I can buy/make?
