Default Some questions about TLC Tugger..

Hello there.

So I'm planning on starting restoration soon, and I'm thinking to go with TLC Tugger, and I have some questions.

First, how many minutes/hours a day should I tug? Secondly, I'm kinda afraid of straps. What if they get stuck somewhere and pull the skin? Could that happen? And if it gets stuck, what happens? Does it pull the skin, or does it just come out? Is it a safe method? Is there any other methods that don't involve straps?

Is there another method you would suggest that I consider? And what is the safest method?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: And will the hairy area expand too? I mean will it move further up the shaft?

I say shoot for 10 - 12 hours per day. Wear a retainer all other hours.

It's good to ponder all the worst-case scenarios and decide which risks you can live with. With TLC devices you have 3 months to get a refund for any reason (or no reason) if you decide it's not for you.

I've never heard of a guy snagging his strap on something that gave his penis a jolt, but I suppose it could happen. A tapeless device would most likely come loose if pulled on with a sudden force of say 10 pounds.

I make a strapless Tensioner called the TLC-X. You should also look at the DTR and CAT II Q. You can tug on yoru skin manually with your fingers.

All the skin you tension will expand, but any non-hairy skin you expand will only decrease the amount of hair-bearing skin drawn onto the shaft uring erection. The hairy skin also expands less because it is under less stress (Stress is Force divided by the cross-sectional Area) since it is thicker and broader (larger cross section).

Ok thanks for the reply. I have some questions though...

Can I wear it during sleep (most likely I'll wear it over the shoulder)? If yes, then what would happen if I become erect while wearing it? And can I wear it for 10 hours continuously? Because I'm thinking to wear at night while sleeping.

Is the TLC-X strapless? I thought it's with a strap.. Can you please tell me how to use it and for how long? And if I tug manually with my fingers, then how long should I tug? Of course I don't have time to tug manually 10 hours per day...

And I didn't understand exactly what you said about the non-hairy skin decreasing the amount of hair-bearing skin drawn into the shaft.. Can you please explain it more to me?

Thanks..

Most people don't tug at night out of concerns about their body shifting about as they sleep and nocturnal erections. There is also the issue of your body using the time one is asleep to repair the body. However some people do choose to tug at night after they have become substantially experienced with how their body reacts to the tugging method they intend to use at night. It's not something I would personally recommend doing but, their are differing opinions.

It's strapless but, you can use a strap with it. It's up to the user to decide.

How long you choose to use any method of tugging is up to you as what each person needs to do varies as a result of our physiological differences. Ron already recommended you to use the TLC-X for 10 to 12 hours a day though. If I recall correctly, 6 hours is the minimum for using a device.

Manual doesn't require that length of time per day. If I recall correctly, the average time for manual tugging is 1 to 4 hours a day total but, it can vary. Keep in mind that this is the total combined amount of time for the day and not all at once and, that it doesn't necessarily work faster. In other words, your skin may not grow any faster even though you are using less total time compared to tugging with a device.

Ron was saying that if the new skin you grow isn't the hairy skin, the increased amount of skin will cause the hairy skin someone currently has to migrate closer to the body. In other words, the hairy skin may look like it's moving further up the shaft while you are tugging but, in actuality it isn't. It's an optical illusion created by the mechanics of tugging manually retracting the penis.

If you aren't applying tension to the hairy skin, no new hairy skin will grow. That means that it shouldn't have more of it on your shaft. There is no guarantee that you will have less hairy skin on your shaft but, a lot of people wind up with less. It just depends on the person, how they are tugging, the way the circumcision was done, etc.

Thanks for the reply. But the videos on the website you gave me aren't working. Do you have any advice?

Save the videos at http://TLCTugger.com/downloads.htm to your local computer before playing them.

We're standardizing on WMV format going forward. Mac users will need a free utility called Flip4Mac installed to play them.

The tlc is very comfortable to wear as I'm wearing it now. I've been actively restoring since 2007 everyday. I used a dtr and just a few months ago tried a tlc. I like both devices equally well. As far as hurting yourself you have to be the judge of that. When used correctly the tlc won't give you anything to worry about. Restoring is a long and involved process which takes great dedication on your part. You have to want a functioning foreskin back to stay dedicated. You will have to sign an acknowledgement form before Ron will even sell you a tlc. If you don't want straps go tlc-x or dtr. Using these devices does require some skin to start with so keep that in mind. The tlccomes with a 90 day no questions asked return policy so I'd go that route to try it first.
