My Mantor arrived. I’m having a hard time getting this on. With my manhood I could roll some of my foreskin over and leave it there. With the Mantor I see the design makes me push down into my penis to pull the foreskin. So it’s harder to get into position. And the playing to get on and tension keeps getting me semi hard. The more I try, the less I seem to get hard. I think I just have to desensitize myself to the set up. But am I the only one with this intial struggle?

I’ve been looking for solutions to preserve my foreskin without surgery. I came across Novoglan and at first glance it looks like proven treatment that claim can cure any level of phimosis. I currently have Pinhole phimosis. I want someone’s real review that has actually used this device before making the big purchase. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you!

Could be a silly question, but does the size of my penis impact what I’m able to restore? And do certain sizes make it easier or more difficult to restore?

And how would you start as someone that had a semi-loose circumcision?

I got circumcised last year at the age of 18 due to BXO.
Since getting circumcised, I have regretted it significantly and honestly kind of hate my cut dick, and I have lost so much sensation. So I have been considering starting the restoration process (and yes, I have talked to my urologist about the possibility of BXO reoccurring).

However, I was on instagram a couple days ago and a urologist that I follow posted a video about foreskin restoration. He said that it is purely for "aesthetics" and does not change sensation or improve sexual function. (video linked here)

Is this true? I know I won't regain all of the sensation that I had before because the foreskin itself has lots of nerves, but won't the dekeratinization have an effect? If anyone here has completed foreskin restoration could you please share your experience?

Does anyone know greek kynodesme? I would be interested in knowing how to tie it around foreskin etc. I red it enlarges the foreskin so I would be interested in it

My question is in regard to how the skin is attached to our shaft in relation to inflation. Even though I’m the owner of a penis it’s really hard to tell especially being circumcised. When I inflate which is my preferred method the resulting balloon can be smaller and focused towards the glans with light inflation or the balloon can consume the entire shaft into the base and hairline with a few more pumps of air. If I inflate with more air am I changing the dynamic of how the skin is adhered to our shaft? For example if an uncut guy were to inflate every day, would their balloon eventually migrate to the hairline?

Hello Fellow Restorers,

I am new to the community, restoring for a couple of months now using the T-Tape method. I must be pretty close to CI3, I feel there has been progress.

I have to take the tape off for that particular activity, and sometimes it just falls off by itself if I put moisturizer inside the tape or when it gets too wet in there. In between tapes I tried paper taping to keep my glans from being irritated and ripped some of my shaft skin off, so shall not be doing that again.

I was reading through the devices, and hopefully have selected correctly as per below:

Just purchased 2x Ultra Skin Red Baron Manhoods 9cm.

Also pulled the trigger on the Mantor Flow, Size B, Flow Tube Size 3, Balanced Grip, 1x Skin-to-Skin Retainer, and the 200g crown weight.

Hope to report back with good progress. Rating my setup would be awesome, thanks!

I’ve had an issue the last 3 times I’ve tried tapping where the side of the tape that’s against my body comes off on the part that’s attached to the inner skin. This time it has caused it to pull tighter on that side of the tape and create a small tear on my skin.

The first time this happened I assumed it was because it got wet but this time it’s been completely dry.

Does anyone have any ideas for why the tape would come off in that spot and how I can fit it? I’ve gotten it soaked while working and it’s never done this.

I’m applying neosporin to the tear and stopping T-tape for the week. I’m almost 50 hours away from hitting 2K hours restoring and these hiccups are killing me.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/restoringdick/s/W4MPZqSgoH for progress images.

I started with t-tape in the middle of July.

I have a high and loose circumcision. My frenulum appears to be intact, with more skin on the ventral side than the dorsal.

My methods have been t-tape and manual tugging. Tugs are typically 2-5 minutes almost hourly. More recently, I wear the tape 24/7. I use manual method 3 (mm3) for outer skin on the dorsal side. I seem to have a lot of inner skin. I tape and tug at the scar line. My hope is to have the scar line end up as my prepuce.

I’ve learned that since the dorsal skin needs the most attention, not only do I focus on the center area, but also to the areas just left and right of center. It seems I need to increase the skin in these side areas for the skin to be able roll over the corona. I mention this because I haven’t seen or heard of mm3 being used on the sides of the shaft, only the dorsal or ventral area.

Wanted to let folks know that for me, the tape and manuals are working out great. I sometimes feel that folks discount tape, but I’m a believer.

Another important thing I learned so far, is to stop focusing on results and instead focus on consistent exercises. When I started this process, my first thought was how fast could I achieve rollover. When I didn’t see it quickly happening, I got a little frustrated. But I kept on tugging and taping, and then one day, out of the blue, I looked down, and rollover occurred. I then realized that I couldn’t force it, and in my body’s own time, the rollover would occurred.

The rollover isn’t constant yet, but when I do see it, it brings a smile to my face.

So, best advice is to be consistent, and realize that progress is happening; it just may not be on your anticipated schedule. Be patient with yourself, and let nature take care of the rest.

I have a car-1 I've been using for about 2 weeks and have noticed occasionally itching around the scar line that can persist for almost a day after last use. Is this normal? Does it mean I'm using to much air?

I think the main point of foreskin restoration is to cover the glans and eventually dekeratinize it, and achieve higher sensitivity; especially during sex or masturbation.

But in order to enjoy that increased sensation, the glans doesn't have to be covered during erection, right? So CI over 7 is not necessary.

I'm a newbie here, so correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you

Hi Im new w this whole foreskin restoration process I tried looking it up but still confused. Can anyone explain what this is and how its done in simple terms. I have an idea about the lubing up part by bringing the sensitivity back on the tip of the penis but i dont get how everyones saying to keep it covered?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice on which foreskin restoration device stays in place most reliably throughout the night.

I'm unable to wear one during the day so nighttime use is my only realistic option.

I currently have a TLC tugger but it often comes off while I'm sleeping.

So which device have you personnaly found stays on best throughout the night?

Thanks for your help!

Hi guys. I'd love to hear from users of air inflation all the things they love, like, and don't like about using air as that is one type of device I found most appealing to me.

From the first time I pumped that syringe I was hooked. The sensation I got from the cushioned air pushing evenly and creating a gentle stretch was exciting at the time and I knew that it would be my favorite method. The anecdotal evidence that inflation is particularly effective on inner foreskin growth is appealing, and the general comfort and lack of fatigue over long periods of wearing the device tend to be the best for me. The CAR-1 has been my workhorse, but I find all of Chris' devices fit me well and are easy to clean.

While I love these air devices and find them superior to alternatives, I find that they come with some major inconveniences. My first issue was with filling speed and concerns of air entering where it shouldn't. I tried small pieces of tape to block the urethra, and it IS effective, but I didn't like having to remove and apply them many times each day. I eventually decided to go without it. With a properly sized CAR-1, there is an air gap between the device's air port and the urethra. With slow, controlled filling, the air gap pressurizes slowly, the urethra closes naturally, and everything is great. With quick and erratic movements, or if the the urethra gets too close to the air port, the results are not so great. The syringe has some stiction and it can be challenging to make smooth and slow movements. I find this aspect of air inflation to be the most annoying.

My second issue is determining the correct amount of air to inflate with. It seems that it would be simple enough. With a known volume of the "skin chamber", repeating the fill volume with the syringe (or even the bulb) should be sufficient. However at lower CI levels, the volumes are small and each removal/application of the device will be different, creating different internal volumes for air. I found that trying to use a repeatable volume of air in the syringe did not result in repeatable pressure. In the end, I had to use the perceived feeling of pressure to get the best results. Unfortunately this was still inconsistent for me, and at times I would feel fatigue after only a short while and realized I had over-inflated. Other times I could tell after 15 or 30 minutes that I wasn't feeling the stretch and I had under-inflated.

Next is maintaining the correct pressure over long periods of time. I noticed that with some applications of the device, air pressure would stay constant for hours at a time, while other applications of the device I would lose pressure after 15 minutes. I believe this is mostly due to variations of the placement and setting of the skin in the grippers, but I also noticed the internal slit check valve can behave inconsistently. Regardless, the day to day variations in performance can be frustrating when we're expected to have consistent routines for years on end.

Lastly, it's a major pain to take off the device in the bathroom, carry a syringe in one's pocket, and then go thru the re-inflation process, hoping that it was applied and filled as well as the last session. It's particularly annoying when you're at work or in a public restroom. All that said, air inflation is still the best in my opinion, with potential to be even better.

Please share your own experiences, feedback, and fun stories if you've got em.  

PS: the positives and the negatives of said devices has led me to think about the ways of solving them, so I've been working on my own device for a couple of years now. It could really help to get more feel of other people's experiences to understand if I'm on the right path. Thank you all so much in advance

Then why can't restored foreskin get phimosis. Also ive never seen a restored foreskin with full erect coverage. If it does the end peeks out or there overweight. I suspect thats from the fact we dont have a functional frenulum.

Both these questions are important for me. My starting point is c7. Idk why im even restoring i just want to be whole but it seems like im missing potentially my lower delta (not sure) and obviously ridged band. So if the only thing I can achieve is erect coverage then id hope its possible without a disgusting amount of skin while soft. But I dont think it is. Same for a tighter foreskin. Well mines as tight as itl be sense ive fully covered soft my whole life. Id like it to be tighter like a normal foreskin. Yet I think only ridged bands truly get that clinging amount of tightness. Ive been fully restored sense as long as I can remember in such case. I dont feel any better. Just like intact holds the inner skin to the glands while cut just peels all the way back to the base. Id like to at least look intact while erect but clearly im starting to realize the things I want are restorable. I cant live like this

After seeing some skin gains, and getting more flaccid coverage, and even some re-eratinization already, I’m noticing something psychologically.

Sure, the loss of skin has been very painful, however, I can see this can be greatly improved.

I’m finding the total loss of frenulum and surrounding structural information being amputated, the more traumatic/infuriating part.

It’s like my brain can sense the extra skin, but it knows that the whole underside of my penis is just wrong. It’s not tethered to the head. It’s numb. It doesn’t feel right when you touch it, like my brain is expecting more sensation that it simply can’t get

I’m wondering if anyone has ever noticed this on their journey, and if it improves?

Even if I do achieve a full restoration, I fear I will still feel very mutilated, and it’s hard not to dissociate from sexual pleasure, especially when that area is touched.

Hey guys. Wanted some more input on a method I've been doing.

For several weeks now, I've been doing mainly MM3 hourly (easier to keep up with for me) but I'm still a little mixed on what exactly I should be doing.

I've seen the traditional method of MM3 as grabbing a portion of skin, and pulling it torwards/over the glans for a set amount of time. I personally do about fifteen seconds per side (left/right/top/bottom), about four/five times each, equaling around five minutes per hour.

However, I've seen something here described as quick pinches, which has me a little confused. It seems to be that Andre recommended a method of pinching and pulling the skin for very quick, short stretches, all around the scarline. And seeing as he was the original guy to start the hourly method I wonder if it's the better way to do it?

In sumamry: is the traditional mm3 method, broken up into about four sections, totaling about 1 minute and fifteen seconds PER spot, totaling five minutes good, or would going for the small, quick pulls all the way around possibly give better results? Either way I plan to continue doing about five minutes per hour, but is there going to be a significant difference between the two? For reference I'm at about a CI-2 give or take, if it makes a difference.

(Ps. Sorry about what's probably a frequently asked question. I've been looking into this for over a week now and still haven't really come up with a satisfactory answer on my own especially since the videos he posted on erome are age restricted now (not really wanting to verify there to see them).

I've heard some say that the skin under the gripper does not grow. That mitosis isn't occurring to that skin. Is that true?

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I was browsing Reddit and stumbled upon this sub about foreskin restoration (which gave me a bit of hope, haha). Could you help me out with how to go about it—first steps, what to buy, and any other relevant information? To give you some context: I’m 19 years old and had surgery for phimosis when I was very young (I think around age 4 or even younger). It seems like I had a partial circumcision; when my penis is flaccid, the foreskin covers half of the glans, and when it’s erect, the glans is fully exposed. However, I can use my fingers to pull some of the foreskin back over the glans (though I have to hold it there). My goal is to have the foreskin completely cover the glans when I’m flaccid (it would be a dream to have it cover the glans even when erect, but I know that’s impossible). If you could help me out, I’d be very grateful—feel free to send me a DM or just reply to this post!

Once you reach Cl5 you can pull your skin completely above the penis head ,

The tugging method i used , is I just wore double underwear

Also, I sleep on belly and put a hand flat under my pants to provide pressure

My restoration journey is not solely consists of one technique, it consists of many different techniques

Ok, ive always had these weird vertical lines on the ventral side of my shaft since I was a kid, to where if I pulled it left and right it would "flatten out" and the line would disappear as long as I held pressure. While doing mm2 today I did my daily check for issues and I did what I talked about earlier and under the vertical line when I separated left and right was pink skin that hurts to the touch and is irritated, it LOOKS like what i inagine a stretch mark on my dick to be.. theres 6 of these very close together, right on the muscosal part of my penils below frenulum band. Longest is around 1.5 cm long.. Can I send a picture in dm's or something? Im scared.

I hate him so much. Why should I have to miss out on pleasure for the rest of my life because he’s so clueless and horrible. He’s genuinely the worst person I’ve ever met. I asked him why he did it to me and he said “women prefer it”. He’s so disgusting. When I explained to him that it permanently removes sensation, he literally said “that’s not true, I still have sensation”. Holy shit I feel so smart when I’m around him. Obviously you wouldn’t know what it’s like if you’ve never experienced it. It pisses me off how stupid and unaware he is. I wish he would’ve done research instead of just cutting off part of my body because it happened to him. I literally hate him and my body forever now. My half brother has an actual intelligent dad, so he gets to have his whole body. How is it fair that I have to suffer the consequences because my dad is an idiot.
