Yeah, I read about that. Seems it would target inner skin (even if leaving more of it stuck to tape and less available for tension). Peeling tape off inner skin is probably significantly worse than outer skin, but I've also read about guys that soak in the bath tub for a while, before removing their tape.

Sorry, I cant recommend 2m over 3m or vice versa, because I've never used this tape method.

By m did you mean cm of width? I'd guess 3cm would work better.

I'm proud of the straps I offer: http://TLCTugger.com/prodTLC.htm

There's a video of the leg strapping method on my Instructions page: http://TLCTugger.com/downloads.htm (right-click and save the video files to your computer for smoothest playback).

I'll second Ron's straps. Really, the best I've found out there. I've used the same one for years, so they hold up well, they're adjustable, have good hardware. Can't beat 'em.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
I got the 3m

I would love to buy straps from you admin but I have no job or credit card and don't feel like getting a money order from the bank.

Do I absolutely need the straps to restore is there anyway I can do it with just the tape?
I figure since I JUST started I could just t-tape or maybe x tape or something (gotta look those up) if just for the initial stretching and getting used to it.

And admin thanks for making this forum and such a needed product. Once I have enough slack I will probably get a tugger.

The tape itself, isn't going to do much (besides function as a retainer) unless there is some tension applied. Since you're wanting to restore, you should use the tape like this:

I'm saving money at the moment, so I havn't bought a strap nice strap/clips. I bought a strip of elastic band from Wal-mart and I use my own clips with the tugger I got from Ron. Its because I already had a Your-Skin cone, that I didn't do the whole "starter kit". You can also use weights but for being active, elastic is recommended.

Then go to Sears and Roebuck to the old men's apparel dept. and buy yourself a set of old men's suspenders. Sometimes the Salvation Army thrift stores have suspenders donated when old men die.

Used to be you could get something somewhat similar at K-Mart. Look for suspenders that are joined together where they cross by a metal clip (rather than being sewn together). You can use pliars to bend the metal repeatedly until it breaks and liberates the straps. The grabbing clips may not be as ideal for tugging applications as mine are, but the cost is comparable.

Makes me wonder who among the over 10,000 TLC clients has died and what became of their tugging gear?

Statistically, you'd expect somebody to die after ordering and before even receiving the merchandise, right?

A few years ago I read a news report of a middle-aged gentleman who died and was found with a weighted device attached to his penis. It was assumed by authorities he was trying to enlarge his penis, but you never know. There was no photo of the device released to the public. It could have been attached to his skin. I'm sure the medical examiner would not have know the difference between penis enlargement and foreskin restoration.
