T-tape application HELP!

[mattdwagner]

Hello, I seem to have trouble keeping the tape from pulling off after a couple hours. There is about 1/4 inch tape overlap that I smooth out ontop of the existing t-tape. This seems to be the weakest spot. Any ideas on securing the tape here? Thanks.

Benzoin tincture (or tincture of benzoin) helps bond the adhesive to the skin better. You may want to try some of this. It can be easily had for cheap.

If I understand your problem correctly, adding tabs to the end of your T-tapes will help solve the problem. Go to the T-taping instructions posted to Tally's site and look at steps 7 and 8 to see how to add the tabs:

Higher tensions can be achieved when T-taping by using the POE.
See my former post under the thread "Locating and marking the POE"

There is also a "POE Video" currently posted to QBMans's site:

But please be advised:
If you are new to T-taping, even when you do everything right, it's par for the course for the first few T-tape jobs to fail within a few hours, or even minutes! This also happens to experienced T-tapers after a long vacation from tugging. The skin has to adapt to accepting the tape before T-tape jobs start lasting for a day or more. It's not clear what factors are involved in this adaptation, but it seems likely that the skin pores reduce their production of natural oils in response to being covered with tape. Just keep trying. Persistence pays off.

It is important to keep the skin that is to be taped clean and free of natural skin oils (Neutrogena original unscented soap works great for this purpose). Remove all tape adhesive residue on your skin from prior tapings. Adhesive residue does NOT help the next tape job adhere. It also helps to wait about 10 minutes or so to give the tape adhesive time to adhere to your skin before applying tension to the T-tape.

I went to the "graphic guide" link and am unsure how the TABS work? How exactly do you apply them? Are they folded under somewhere? Sorry but the link didn't specify what to do with them. Thanks

To get an idea of how the tabs work, check out the illustrations halfway down this page: http://altobino.free.fr/ruban.htm (in French, but you'll still get the idea if you don't speak it).

I think that the correct way to place the tabs is shown on the Frech site that Z referenced.

However I didn't do it that way, I found it too complicated. I just applied the tabs to my skin fist, then I just overlapped them when I cane around with the other end of the T-tape. I frequently found that I had to modify the size of the cut-out notch with a small sharp scissors while I was applying the T-tape to my penis, and that was easier to do if I had applied the tabs to my skin first.

Other guys preferred to appliy the tabs last.

To experiment, it helps to cut out two small non-stick backings to just fit over the sticky side of each of the two tabs. Release those small backings immediately before you apply the tabs.

It helps to have many hands to do all this, somthing lide that Hindu or Buddhist godess. Good luck. Welcome to the world of T-tapers!
