Exactly. So starting soon I’ll go back to what I was doing. I hate having to take a week or two off.
i know that you have a large size penis... are you having these experiences from your glans rubbing against the bell? you may want to go to the 2 inch size bell...
i just started back with p.e. i had an injury, then life happened, so i stopped for about 1month... i have been lightly training the past few days and using a new micropore tape i bought from cvs. it is called 3M Nexcare for frequent changes, 24 hours. it is still medium hold, however, it is for frequent changes so it is not as "sticky" and more forgiving when taking it off. i still stick it to the back of my hand a couple of times before applying it. i noticed it peels off easier than the other micropore tapes i have used. i have it on a few hours at a time, so maybe that is the reason why it comes off easier. i know that you have your ss2 on for many hours at a time, so ymmv... it is about $6, so it should not hurt your wallet too much if it does not work for you.
Yes! I’m just purchased the large sized bell but for the stealth stretcher. I can still use it the same way as I’m using the silistretcher bell.
I’ve also tried using only the tape. But I still get some fluid retention. Since using the newskin again, I don’t get fluid retention. And I use the tape on top. And then a silicap. However all of this added stuff makes it hard to get the glans into the chamber. So that’s why I’m getting the large one
I may have to start wrapping my skin just beneath my glans. It is still exposed to some vacuum so after a 12 hour shift, it’s really puffy.
Here’s what I’ve done:
—2 coats of newskin on my glans.
—micropore tape on top of the glans
—one layer of self adhesive bandage around my shaft just below the glans
— insert into chamber (still waiting on my new chamber and another sleeve condom)
— roll condom down
—self adhesive bandage wrapped around condom to prevent air entering.
The only thing about that last part is this... the added tension has caused frenulum tearing. So now I’m trying to figure out how to prevent this.
I don’t believe it is tight. But the pressure of some kind due to me wrapping the outside was causing the tearing.
It’s not as bad now. Although still a little irritated. But it’s not preventing me from continuing to wear it. Right now I’m putting about 10 hours a day on it.
EDIT:
So I meant to say, the part that was torn and irritated is considered the frenulum. But it’s the base of the frenulum on the shaft. Not the area just below the glans.
As a side note. I had tried using more tape below my glans to prevent puffy skin. Unfortunately, as the day goes by, my skin will sometimes get “pulled” upwards and over that tape; causing it to pinch and eventually tear. So now I have little cuts and irritation marks on my skin below and around my glans.
Furthermore, directly in the groove beneath my glans, I have had this same thing happen sometimes depending on how I tape my glans.
To prevent this, I’m adding newskin below my glans a little bit as well.
Trial and error is painful.

You are applying bacitracin every day though right?The only issue with this is how far down my frenulum the damage is. It’s far enough down that, when I use tape, and then roll the sleeve condom down, air leaks in while stretching. So I’ve had to stop using tape on it.
be sure that the tape is smooth and without folds or wrinkles, even the smallest crease can cause great pinching.Yeah. Now I am haha.
Another issue I’ve had though is the tape has caused severe pinching right beneath my glans and I’ve had to stop today so I can heal.
