Greg's T-Tape Strips Method

[TheRifleman]

Greg:

Thanks for the reply. I just sent you a PM with my e-mail address.

I've finally gotten around to posting a final picture of what I will now call the "Easter Egg Mold Insert" and it, as I said in a previous post, is working out pretty well using Greg's method. As you can see from the picture, I've started using a clip to hold the ends of the tape as I've found it helps keep the ends of the tape in place a bit better than just the twisty tie.

Thanks for the update and photo. It looks like it is working well and you are able to apply a good amount of tension.

Nice job!

Cheers!

I had the pleasant problem of having to take a break from tugging as my insert is too small and so I had to add some length to it. It had gotten to the point where I was almost able to pull my foreskin to the tip of it so I've added about an inch to it so that I can continue to apply sufficient tension when I'm using the the insert. Now to wait for it to dry.

Yes, that is one of the nice things about this method, easy to maodify and adjust as needed.

cheers!

For those who have followed this method, or are interested in this method, here is another variation. Ron has some relatively new products called TLC Packers and Stackers:

Another restorer, MKen, has found that they work well for this method. You use them instead of making the insert out of the silicon calking. Saves you some time and trouble. Especially good if you cannot find silicon aquarium calking, or are not a tinkerer who likes to make your own equipment.

They come in various sizes, so I would expect that you can use them throughout your restoration journey.

I will add that it's the packing cylinders I use, as opposed to the tapered packers. The flatter tops work well for me when when tying the string/twisting the wire-tie to keep the tape up.

The packing cylinders come in threes, of different sizes. When I started I was using the smallest cylinder, planning to move up with progress. I started to worry, though, because the skin pulled by the tape was folding over the "corner" or "edge" of the packing cylinder, where the "side" becomes the "top", and I was worried that the corner might create a "pinch" in the skin that might effect circulation.

I quickly realised I could use the largest packing cylinder from the beginning. No more tension than with the smaller one - it just meant the skin stayed on the "side" of the cylinder and didn't reach the top.

With the largest cylinder, however, the tape needed to be lengthened so that I could easily tie/adjust it over the top. I did this by simply cutting another strip of Rejuveness tape (as pictured in Greg B's guide), and sticking it about 3 mm down from the end of the existing strip. I would then fold this over and stick the other end about 3 mm down the other side of the existing strip. This way, you only need one extra piece of tape per strip, not two. I have found this to be long enough for me.

KOT!

Thanks! Great tips for those using Ron's cylinders!

Cheers!

I am considering getting the TLC Packer to try this method (custom made insert from silicone seems too much trouble), but i was wondering wouldn't it press against the head of the penis as there doesnt seem to be too much space there..Anyone has used it here successfully and would the larger p24 lead to baggy foreskin since its less shaped like a cone and more like a cylinder??
..and what about SuperCanister, can it be used in a similar way?

Yes, an insert presses down on the glans. Hasn't seemd to be a problem for me in 10+ years of restoring.

And my homemade inserts are pretty much cylindrical, not cone shaped. Also not a problem.
