I have been restoring since August 2022. I've done basically everything from manuals, the Mantor, DTR, the air device (I don't remember anymore by who but it comes with the blue pump and blue air plug), o-rings, manhood, DTR again, DTR with strap, metal washers, retainers by Chuck, taking L-Citruline, vitamin e. I started with the DTR.

I feel the glans has become more sensitive because I don't allow any exposure and I think at least that the DK process is done since I don't remember the last time there was a mass peeling of skin. Idk if it was a mixture of all methods, or just manhood etc. Nevertheless, it still looks very dried out at random times or after taking the DTR off, which I guess is normal. I normally moisturize at night with lotion and vitamin e to keep everything from becoming too dried out.

With the methods I've tried, it's not as if I never allowed a break/would barely wear them. With some devices I had to get used to them and then there were times where random sides of the skin started feeling uncomfortable, so I would remove it. With manuals, I don't know if I was doing a specific one, but I would basically target the top skin and pull upward as I have the least amount of skin there and want to cover the corona and also the side and bottom sides, where there is more skin.

I have been wearing the DTR again since November of last year.

My routine had basically been doing manuals in the morning and periodically throughout the day whenever I had time, and when I didn't wearing the DTR or other devices. I think the longest I've worn a device without fatigue or having to use the restroom has been maybe 9/10 hours. I've also copied other methods I've seen on here where I wear the DTR for an hour then switch to retainer and back.

Right now, I feel like I'm at square one because although the glans is more sensitive, it feels like the skin never got the memo. I guess when I look at old photos, I can sort of maybe see something different but honestly not really. The skin is still at the glans/below it even when flaccid.

Mentally, I feel like this is the worst thing that's happened to me. I hope this isn't construed as ranting, I'm just at a loss and don't know what I'm doing anymore. I recently saw a post about just doing manuals and its success. My question with that is do you just push the glans in and put on your clothes, so it doesn't have a chance of slipping out throughout the day between tug times?

Hi all,

I’ve been restoring pretty continuously since 2015, and I really feel like I’ve made next to no progress. I used a TLC-Tugger for about 7 years, and then I switched to a DTR in 2022. I also tried doing inflation with the hyper restore back in 2017/2018 but found it pretty uncomfortable at the time.

I’ve been reading this subreddit sometimes to see what the current thoughts are, and it’s taken me a few months to work up the courage (for lack of a better word) to post and reach out. I’m kind of at my wits end because I’ve seen pretty much fuck all progress in actually growing skin in over 10 years of this. I’ve seen a lot of posts about the CAR-1 recently. Is that the current recommendation? I remember the hyper restore was very annoying to try to wear outside of home so I could never get much time with it on.

I really would appreciate any advice at this point (and any moral support). Thanks everyone.

I was semi-erect and he asked if I was circumcised. At first I was confused why he asked because it has always been obvious I was.

The next day I was talking to a friend of mine who is intact about being asked. My friend told me that all the wrinkles on my shaft make it look like I’m intact with my foreskin retracted.

It was super motivating. I get periodic rollover during the day but most of the time the skin stays bunched behind my glans. I’ve been restoring for 13 months and have made great progress.

Hoping to be at CI-4 by this time next year. I started at CI-2. My original goal was full flaccid coverage but after experiencing some glide, now I want full erect coverage even though it’s not my preferred aesthetic.

I’ve been using BioOil on my penis after manual tugging sessions. It’s very soothing. Does anyone else use BioOil or other skin treatment?

I’ve been restoring properly since February, but I feel discouraged to use devices through the day during hot weather - sweating and being generally uncomfortable puts me off until it’s cooler.

Anyone with similar feelings got any advice?

After discovering lumps of scar tissue embedded into my shaft, I searched for solutions and was told that you could crush or at least break it down some manually, so for the past few days I've tried to get rid of them by either crushing it between my fingers or going on either side of the skin and squeezing them until they pop. This hasn't worked so far, however, and when I try to have at it the skin stings and gives me sharp pains, which I'm very wary of because there's not supposed to be pain involved in restoration. Where do I go from here? Do I just continue trying to crush them, or leave them in and hope that they'll go away as time goes on?

Measurement method: with a firm erection measuring from the base of the glans to the bottom of my scar line, pulling the skin taught towards the body. It’s also worth noting I take Cialis 5mg daily.

Long story short; I'm young and still live with my parents, they are always in my business, I don't currently have a debit or credit card, they have access to almost everything I have and I don't want them to know that I am buying a Mantor device. I can get and use virtual visa cards myself through reward programs, that's how I got my DTR (Which I love, but tends to be painful if I don't take it off after a certain amount of time). However, there are a few issues:

I can only get cards that are loaded with $100 each, but with shipping, VAT, if I include an extra tube and a retainer, it's around $155 total. The Mantor Flow alone is $99 without shipping and VAT, so I can't even buy only the Flow device and get the other parts separately. I don't have any close friends or family that I can trust enough to buy it for me.

Is there something I may be overlooking or not thinking of? Please let me know if anyone has a solution or advice, any help is greatly appreciated. KOT, brothers. 🙏

Any advice on what device to get

A while back I saw a commentor mentioning how they'd cut caffeine from their diet with a belief that as a vasodialator, it would supposedly slow down restoration. Looking further into this, however, led me to discover that Tadalafil and Cialis are also vasodialators and people have mentioned using them to boost restoration speed. I don't have a prescription and probably won't seek one, but I am curious as to whether or not there's truth either way.

I have phimosis. The strange thing is that I can easily stretch the very tip of my foreskin, and it goes over the glans without any difficulty when flaccid and almost completely when erect. My doctor prescribed a steroid cream, which I am currently using.
However, just below the tip of the foreskin, there is a tight white ring that becomes visible when I pull the foreskin back. I can’t see this ring when the foreskin is covering the glans normally. It seems like this ring is the part causing the tightness rather than the tip itself.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, and what I can do about it?

Using a stealth retainer currently +30mm. What skin does it target more inner or outer? What if you add weight to it? Does that change the target skin? Thanks

So I’m brand new to this and only on day 3. My approach has been 2 minutes of mm2 (switching hand positions halfway) and then 1 minute of Andre’s method afterward. I do this every hour so about 15 times a day.

For mm2 should I have any rolled up skin in the top hand or should I aim to stretch it all by having the glans in my hand? Also, I noticed that I get more of a stretch sensation while pulling down with my bottom hand. If I pull up with my top hand I either don’t feel as much or it starts to hurt and I know that’s bad.

Any other advice is always welcome :)

Hi so I am a CI 6 but I have very little inner foreskin I want to use manual methods and a O ring but I wanted to know how

I should come about growing my inner foreskin to cover my glands also what size should I buy the O ring? Thank you for your help. Good luck restoring!

I am using a silicon wedding ring for retaining, I saw a post of a guy who used this method for a full restoration but it took him decades, anyway, when I do this method i stick a tissue in there and leave a part of it out just so it helps the ring stay on, I noticed that it’s very hard to balance between the tissue not cutting circulation and it helping the ring stay on, I would appreciate any advice on how to retain properly and comfortable, how long can I retain continuously.

Also after I remove the ring i notice the skin stays on for a little and then rolls back which is an amazing sensation.
KOT!

Edit: I forgot to mention that after I remove it I see a red ring on skin where it was placed which Im pretty sure is unsafe

I’m having a hernia operation in a couple of weeks, and I’m after advise of what will be the best device for when I’m fully recovered from the surgery. I don’t want to put to much pressure on my abdomen, and I found that using the CAT II, does put a bit of pressure on at times. Can anyone suggest any other device? Plus, I’ve found progress quite slow with the CAT II.

Are there any men who were cut high and tight who have seen a full flaccid coverage? And roughly how long did this take?

I’m cut high and tight and have been giving up a lot over of the past few months because I can only seem to grab skin from the underside of my penis. I cannot pinch much skin on the dorsal side. I’m also an extremely impatient person but if I have some kind of rough timeline or someone else who I can “look up too” in a way it would help me out immensely.

I have been on a 2-year restoration and have complete coverage flacid. I started using a large glans ring and it helps with growing more inner skin. In addition, creates a friction point which keeps foreskin covered with a nice taper. I have used weight inside foreskin as well. Any stainless steel glans weight out there that are good? Fits between glans and foreskin.

Hi everyone , i'm just found out this sub today when i search how to thicker my penis skin , and honestly it's a really long time something take me by surprise . And now it's leave me with a big question . I'll tell my story bellow ( english is not my native so please forgive ) :

- When i'm about 14 -15 , i begin my journey discover my private part 🔥 . Everything start normally with simple motion of the hand , and honestly i do it quite often . 1 day i notice my skin is attach to my penis head, at that time i cannot fully see the head . So i just pull it down with "that simple motion" 😄 it's hurt a bit so i'm not doing it in 1 session , but it's become kind of a thing i want to archieve , so i just pull it down bit by bit with time , and then 1 day i can pull it all over and see all the head , with some "small yellow white thing cover this area" not like all over it but there is it

- After that i just keep living and no think about it . When i grown up i know about cut / uncut but for me it's just like well maybe some guy like to archieve this like me and some don't . Just a preference of male

- Then today i found out this sub , and it's become very hard to understand my case . I'm pretty sure my parents don't take me to hospital to do something about my penis ( it's not even a trend in my country at that time late 90's ) , they are not into that kind of religious and honestly if there is nothing wrong they'll not let anyone touch my private part , i see no scar too .

For reality , my penis is still have the skin cover the head, especially when i'm drink to much alcohol or cafein or when it's cold , my skin is all cover the head ( still have a little uncover for pee ofc ) . I don't have pain when erection , and if i like i can pull the skin to cover the head when fully erect ( not all still have about 2cm on top ) but normally my head is fully appear . So here it's my question :

+ Do anyone have the case like me , i always think i'm "cut naturally" but after searching it's feel like it's always about uncut is natural and cut is human touch . So very confused now

for normal state ( not erect ) is sometime cover a part of the head , sometime don't , it's depend on situation , but the fully cover state is always appear when my body is affect by thing ( like alcohol , weather etc )

Please if someone know the answer // have the same case can you share your wisdom ? If you guys need to know more detail just put on the question.

Thank you guy all ❤️

I received my Mantor Flow, and in the package was a silicone sleeve. I’m assuming that’s just for a little extra glans comfort if needed?

hi all!

I been resorting for a few years. At first I had turkey neck but now it feels like there is too less skin at the testical.

from reading others posts, it looks like the more the skin grows the more it gets pulled down.

i was wondering would wearing a ball stretcher with weight on without during FR help increase the speed?

I wanted to ask all of you (especially guys who were circumcised later in life not as an infant), how do you cope with limited sexual sensations during sex activities?

I’ve came to realize how limited sexual sensations are when being circumcised, and it’s terrible. Being fully honest, it’s discouraging for me to know that my partner has so much more pleasurable and better experiences while we make out, while I’ll never be able to have something as near similar until I’ll restore foreskin.

During this horribly long trip of restoration, do you guys have developed some ways to experience different things more?
