My manual tugging routine for foreskin restoration

by Tally on November 25, 2008 Bookmark and Share

I almost exclusively use manual tugging. I have both a TLC-X and a DTR, but I use them only for a couple hours a week.

I manually tug 1 to 2 hours a day, every day. My routine fits into my lifestyle and I don't feel that I have to make time to tug. I just tug at the same time I am doing what I normally do.

My current tugging routine is:

When I take my morning shower, I tug for about 5 to 15 minutes. I like long, hot showers. Instead of just standing there enjoying the hot water, I stand there tugging. Also, the water makes it easier and less irritating to tug my inner foreskin.

I often walk around the house naked or half-naked. When I am reading the paper in the morning I tug in between turning the pages. That is another 5 to 15 minutes.

During the day, whenever I go to the bathroom I use a stall. I take an extra 1 to 2 minutes and tug.  I drink a lot of water, so I go to the bathroom about every 1 to 2 hours (seems like 8 times a day for a total of about 10 to 15 minutes of tugging).

In the evening I like to have at least one tugging session of between 20 minutes up to an hour. I do this whenever I have privacy and don't need my hands for anything, such as when I watch videos or read Internet newsgroups.

How I tug:

I primarily use manual tugging method 2. My skin has grown, so I also use either method 2 or squeeze/stretch. I tug flaccid or erect. After I grew some slack skin, I found that it is easier to manually tug when erect, but I still tug flaccid.

I manually tug for a few seconds, relax, and repeat, over and over again. I apply tension for anywhere from 1 to 20 seconds, but usually around 2-5 seconds.

I believe that the key to skin growth is tension, not the number of hours tugging. I use a lot of tension, but I have never hurt myself.  I stretch until the skin goes taut. Then I stretch just a little bit more. It does not hurt and it is not painful when I tug.

#2 Buy DTR from the manufacturer

Submitted by Tally on Sun, 05/12/2013 - 2:47pm.

The DTR foreskin restoration device is available from the maker. I suggest contacting Chuck for a DTR. He has made improvements to the DTR over the years and his ordering page has lots of options and configurations to suit your needs.

There are numerous foreskin restoration devices available. Check out Foreskin Restoration Methods and Devices for a listing of available foreskin restoration devices.

#3 How long do you tend to rest

How long do you tend to rest between tugs? Because I started to feel a little sore if I just took a 5 sec breather between tugs.

#4 Tug, relax, tug, relax, repeat as time permits

Submitted by Tally on Sat, 08/24/2013 - 9:04pm.

I tug and then relax for a second or two. I do not wait long between tugs. For example, I may tug for two seconds, relax for a second, and repeat.

#5 Do you have pics of your progress?

I am C1 (maybe less!) and people say they think you started at C1 but I don't believe it. Everyone who says that has more skin than I do. What did you start at? C2?

#6 Depends

Submitted by Tally on Thu, 09/19/2013 - 6:58pm.

I think people get too caught up in the coverage index. It is only a guide.

I do not really have a good idea of where I started. When I first learned about foreskin restoration, I started tugging immediately. I have no starting pictures and no starting measurements. I knew I did not have a foreskin and I wanted one. So, I started tugging right then and there as soon as I found the manual tugging instructions.

I found the Coverage Index shortly after I started restoring. I was a bit more than CI-2 when flaccid, but less than a CI-3. I had wrinkles, but not much bunching. Erect, my skin was very tight and I was a CI-1. The difference in coverage index is because I am a grower. 

It does not matter how much skin you have when you start, only how much you have when you are finished. For those with very tight cuts with no or little slack skin, they will almost immediately notice the difference from tugging as their skin loosens up. I could tell the difference after a week of tugging.
