Strapping Down

[NaturalMikeSoon]

Ok, guess I'm an idiot. I've strapped down the leg since I started. I used my own homemade strap made of elastic and two suspender type clasps sew in. I strapped from tugger to sock. It worked great, but I thought to jump start the plateau I'm experiencing, I'd try Ron's straps... professional donchaknow.

I've watched Ron's video... how hard can this be?! Well apparently it is. I seem to either have my penis pulled too far to the side (which causes the cone to rub wrong and loosen) or I strap down. Either way I hamper the circulation to my lower leg and foot.

Even as I write this, I can feel my pulse in my right shoe. Don't think I want to continue doing this. A little compression here and there ok, but on a continuing basis, it's just not a good idea; in fact it's a bad idea!

I purchased a knee brace to attach it too (Size L) and have tried strapping with and without it on. (Why do you need the knee brace?) Same result... end of day, my foot and calf are swollen from reduced circulation. BTW... circulation is fine without the strap. Never had a problem with calf and foot edema before.

So... HELP the idiot out here. This has certainly got to be the easiest part of tugging, but I'm not getting it!

I also bought the around the neck strap for night time tugging, but I don't know if I'll use it. I hate my dick, sorry penis, in the up position when flaccid. Plus with underwear it sticks past the waistband and if I tug, it will be even longer and I don't want "my precious" strangled by my Calvins. (Foreskin good, necrotic penis bad!)

Open to any and all ideas.

Thanks guys.

Can you put the knee brace on and wrap the extra strap around it loosely, then pin the strap to the brace and use the adjuster to get the tension right?

As for night tugging, to prevent the calvins from strangling Precious...REMOVE THE CALVINS!!!

That's my opinion, i could be wrong.

There's a sticky thread in the TLC User Group forum that includes the instructions that go out with the shipping confirmation. The section on strapping supercedes anything you see in the other instruction materials.

I can't imagine tugging down in bed. I wear a light shirt for comfort with the upward strap.

For knee tugging, the elastic tube knee brace is there just to make the thin elastic strap more comfortable against your body. It also makes it easier to slide the strap on and off without undoing it.

I've added a video showing me applying the strap to the knee.

Ron,

Thank you about a million times, and two more on top of that! I developed a strapping method using your straps, but it wasn't what you demonstrated. As you demonstrated I applied. It's on right now and it's SO much more comfortable, tugs longer/firmer, and feels more like the tugging method that I did on my own prior to purchasing your straps.

Since my method of using your straps had me strapped more to the side, I experienced a lot more of the dreaded sideways compression that leads to the cone releasing from the tugger. Now, more straight down, it should alleviate that problem.

I wanted to purchase the new thinnest mini because I'm to the point where I believe that the greater the gap between the tugger and the glans, the more I will benefit from tugging; and I wanted the thinnest device possible when stretching the end portion of my foreskin. However, because of the frequent detachment, I thought the thinner device would only encourage more detachment. My technique required, to keep the device on, VERY little tugging pressure. Now I can pull to my hearts content!

Your method was so damn simple compared to what I was doing, ...I must really be the village idiot ...lol! Ok, in the last sentence, delete must and replace with AM ...lol!

Did I mention, thank you a million times? !!!

I, for one, would LOVE to see your progress reports, NaturalMikeSoon! I haven't visited here for quite some time and didn't even realize there was a new design for the already excellent tugger. Maybe Ron can let me know if it would be any good for me at this point in my progress or not. Like you, Mike, I want foreskin long enough kick as I walk - heheheh! Take care and KOT! SD

Thank goodness for the TLC Tugger; it really works!

SkinDiver1958: I too am a great fan of foreskin overhang. Ron's first video of ancient statues and paintings features one particularly good overhang. I believe that a boy born with superfluous overhang has been especially blessed. One boy in Spain a few years ago had such an overhang that when he pulled up his pants after using the washroom at school, his foreskin would be hanging out the front of the top of his pants by about three inches. So you can imagine, at the age of 5, how long his foreskin was. The teacher complained to the parents about it and what do you think the parents did? You guessed it. They had him circumcised. To me, that's like taking a pair of scissors and cutting out the smile on the Mona Lisa. -John G.

Forgive me - I have to cut you off at 'superfluous overhang' as I believe it's an oxymoron. I for one think that mens' foreskins should be as long as is humanly possible. Anyone with 3 inches of overhang is a God so far as I can see. I still can't believe that in the enlightened age in which we live, parents are still allowing doctors to perform this butchery. There should be a law.

I am still tugging with my tugahoy and manually and believe I will never be quite happy with the length of my skin and therefore have to add to it. Foreskin is SO elastic. Great being a guy! Take care all! SD

'superfluous overhang'

Oh, it drives me nuts when guys say "I'm not sure I have enough *extra skin* to use a tapeless method."

Who among us has *extra skin* ?? NO skin is extra. I'm going to add a daily Google Blogs alert for the phrase Extra Skin so I can set some people straight.

thats what im hoping to do mines going ok i was admiring mine in the mirror last night and was please with the result this tlc tugger is a amazing unit im pleased with it i have a few days of now and again but i dont wear it when im out in clubs or places like that i just use a o-ring.

I've strapped around my knee since I first started tugging.

It's more comfortable for me than strapping over the shoulder, but I do that too from time to time. I wear a light leg warmer over my knee to protect against chafing by the strap, which doesn't irritate my skin like an elastic and/or neoprene knee brace does.
