taping tricks

[Regener8]

Hi, maybe theres a thread on this already -

I'm using rejuveness tape...its great

Last night I discovered a wonderful technique - dont know if it works or not - I tug sideways, okay - but then I twist the pulled forward skin, so its puckered and expanding on my tape. Its snug, doesn't hurt much.

my question is, will it help a pucker, or cut off circulation?? Only did it yesterday, and on right now.

I can post pics but dont know how here or if its cool or not.

heres my image:

see if this works....yeah so i twist it a little bit. i was malapposed, so i twist to the other direction [to the right]. i think the image is inverted. anyway...think it could foster a pucker a little, or could it be damaging somehow?

well, its only been two days w/tape, kept it off today b/c being normally a tapeless tugging fellow, I have an extremely difficult time removing the tape. I got a small bruise or two, waiting a day or two to let them go. I am almost positive its not from the twisting, but rather removing the tape.

If theres a cream I could use, Ill probably do that. Up until now for removing tape, Ive been doing a mix of warm water, and saliva, which seemed to be working in the past [when I wasn't as skilled at putting the tape on- so it was already sort of loose before removing it!].

But, the point of this post is to report that my skin [already borderline CI4 for almost an entire year!!] is staying forward for half the day now -obviously w/some help as in sitting down, standing to bend forward, but also - after urinating twice yesterday and today, barely touching it, the skin stayed over the coronal ridge - something thats never happened to me before -

so who knows - perhaps theres something to my method [at least for me and my slightly malapposed 'little' guy]. I had to make sure to position things right, so at least the raphe wouldn't twist too far in the other direction, but that wasn't too difficult either. it was a surprisingly simple adjustment to make, and dont know why i never thought of it before...

an update on my tape use - a bit discouraged at the bruises not gone yet, i may have overtugged tensionwise - the twist may have added more tension that i couldn't feel, so - maybe next time if i use even less forward tension, i can still do a little twist.

for now just healing up still.

ought to just use my tlcx, just keeps slipping! if i can prevent bruising, taping would be great for me b/c it never slips off, ever. all the tapeless devices seem to slip off when i apply them, and im already around a "CI4".
