Pros of Silistretcher
I would classify the Silistretcher as an AIO (All In One) and as such it's pretty good for what it is aimed for, better than good it's innovative and awesome! It does have some cons and I will go over those shortly. The guy from TotalMan is about to release something very similar but
silistretcher with accessories, thirst for improvement and lifetime warranty will beat it I'm sure. It's a vacuum ADS, light to medium
hanger (with the right sleeves and right user conditioning I'm sure it'll take up to 20 lbs and that's more than enough for most vacuum hangers to get gains) and could even be used for manual stretcher and with the
siliscale you'll know how hard you're pulling, however I would mainly keep it geared towards the first 2. It's very comfortable. The silipad spreads out the vacuum, conforms to the glans and I've been getting fluid buildup around the urethra instead of more focused at urethra. There's 3 to choose from too. Back in the day we found out we needed cotton balls or makeup remover pads to accomplish this but the silipads blow that out of the water. Around the urethra is where all 3 or 4 of my blisters have formed in all of my career and was always from too much vacuum, too much
weight for what I was conditioned for or improper taping.
Customer service and listening to feedback has been great with me and from what I've seen others as well.
The
silicap is basically a toe
cap that some vacuum hangers have sworn by but I could never get to work good for me. This one however is bigger and I can tell is made for the penis instead of the toe and being repurposed for us that hang. Also the vacuum has a tendency to pull the
cap from the head and I think create a vacuum in a vacuum around the glans. To remedy this some poke pin holes in it or make a a small slit to release the second vacuum and equalize pressure while still providing protection to glans. I have brought some micropore tape (paper tape) home from work and will try that out today. I had some fluid buildup using
silistretcher but I wore it for 2 sets of 4 hours each at around 1 to 2 pounds yesterday with the
silicap and it was amazing.
I've tried alott of ADS's (extenders, vacuum extenders, PE
weights, cock coils, vacuADS, VLC and more) and this is the only one I think I can safely wear on my feet all day at work as a nurse at 12 to 14 hours a day. The only other 2 I'd recommend are the PE
weights (can use golf
weights as Monty is MIA) or VLC tugger. However there is a slight chance they might come off. Not so with
silistretcher.
The durosleeves are very tough and I can tell will resist punctures or tears very well. They do permanently stretch out after repeated use but to maybe 10% bigger but then resist further stretching out. There's not a
sleeve on the market that doesn't do this. These things are comparable to LG Sleeves but I do think LG's are slightly better as they don't stretch out as much, come in 8 inch sleeves so you can cut maybe 2 or even 3 sleeves out of one, however they are more expensive.
Cons of Silistretcher 2.0
I didn't own the first iteration but there are still some cons to consider.
To truly do heavier vacuum
hanging it's important to know exactly what kind of vacuum levels you're sitting at, especially so you can gauge how well your penis is conditioned to current ones before upping it. Adding
weight usually will increase the vacuum in the chamber and it's important to know how much, especially in
weights over I'd say 12 lbs. Also helps in gauging how well you are already conditioned and for how much vacuum.
The piston system does amazingly well for adding vacuum stealthily. For an AIO and especially ADS you will want this without having to worry about pumps, tubes or plugging holes to create suction. However the knob can easily be turned by pants, the leg or just attaching
weight and if the
weight rotates. This can lead to a slight increase or decrease in vacuum when the user wasn't intending it to. This will essentially push or pull the penis and can lead to improper pulling, increased fluid buildup or even the bane of all vacuum hangers, the formation of a blister! This and the following con is the biggest thing against the Silistretcher.
Also the piston takes up valuable real estate in the chamber. A key point that makes the LG the best vacuum
hanger on the market is the deep dome (chamber). It means more "grip" on the penis, a better pull and less chance of a blister as some of the pull is transferred to the shaft. I pull the piston all the way up and then rotate down 2 full turns to get as much of my glans and shaft into the chamber as possible.
Also the
strap that you attach to the
silistretcher then the belt will sometimes slide away from where you set it, the buckle will slide and then tension will be reduced. I think an easy fix would to be to use a safety pin behind the buckle of where you want it that way there will be no sliding, and one can even increase tension slightly every so often, which in my opinion would be preferred.
Pros and Cons of LG Hanger
The LG is custom made. You provide your measurements and your dome, a solid piece of acrylic is machined out to fit you. It's pretty unbreakable you won't hear of it cracking. The sleeves are the best on the market. The user can add and monitor vacuum levels. Their customer service is excellent. They've been on the market and have withstood the test of time.
The LG is more expensive however. I wouldn't dream of using it as an ADS. It was built like a tank to hang and that's that's the only thing it excels at, and excel it does. If you grow there is a possibility of growing out of the dome. It's $35 as far as I know to have it sent in and lathed some more to fit new measurements. The sleeves, while slightly better designed are more expensive.
Both are heavy contenders. One could get the
silistretcher get accustomed to vacuum
hanging, use it as an ADS and have all the accessories and warranty to last the rest of their career. As it stands currently if you then proceeded to up
weight past maybe 10 to 12 lbs I would grab the LG
Hanger. Whatever one chooses buy the silipads!
