Manual Tugging Question

[uptheirons1]

Hi, I just started manual tugging and it doesn't hurt when I do it, but afterwards it kind of feels strange. The skin is almost hypersensitive. Is this normal? I am very worried. I do it for a few minutes. I am doing manual tugging method 3. I think it might be because I have never really touched the foreskin before and it might just get easily irritated.

Your inner foreskin remnant may still be sensitive enough that it is being irritated by your hands. When I first started I often used Vitamin E oil after tugging to relieve the irritation. Others prefer Aloe or Emu Oil or others that I don't recall. You could try putting some oil on your skin when you go to bed and see if that helps.

Thanks for replying. I was thinking that was the problem, but was unsure. I will try using aloe, emu or vitamin e oil. By the way, should I do a combination of some of the different manual tugging methods? Because I am afraid if I just stick to one method the foreskin will become uneven.

I will search the forums later to find an answer. I have to go to school soon though so that is why I am asking. If there is already an answer to that question I apologize. I am really new to foreskin restoration. I think I might want to get a device in the future if it can speed up the restoring process. I just feel a little intimidated by devices now.

I prefer manual tugging method 2 because it tensions the full circumference of your penis. When I started that is the only method I used. The way I look at it is, if I am going to tug, I want to maximize the amount of skin being tensioned. Method 2 does that.

Don't worry about the new skin growing unevenly. Skin grows slow enough that you will notice it in time to correct it.

Thanks again Tally. I will start doing method 2. Did you ever use a device or did you just do manual tugging to restore your foreskin?

I have both a TLC-X and a DTR. I may use a device from 20 minutes to an hour a week, if at all. If I wear a device, it is usually when I am eating breakfast before I get dressed.

I find manual tugging more convenient for my lifestyle than wearing a device.

From my research, if you do manual tugging routinely enough, it CAN be faster than device tugging, since you are tensioning more skin. A combination of both would probably be your best bet though.

Thanks, I'll do that. I was only going to get a device if it was going to help it grow faster, but since you say that manual tugging is more effective I'll just stick with that.
