Seat thickness can also affect perceived distance to the water. You have to measure seat thickness, water level, add in the length of your current flaccid hang, add these numbers together, then divide by 3.14.

Still, please chime in on this thread since you are now an affiliate here.
 
Didn't post but I got in a hanging session on Saturday. I hung 3 sets 15 min each. The first 2 sets I hung with 19.5 lbs. The 3rd set, since everything was feeling real good, I hung with 22lbs, my max weight before I started to have problems a while back. It felt good and was able to get in 15 min without any problems. Took off Sunday.
Now Mondays seem to be the hardest time for me. I guess cause I take off on Sundays. Anyway I started off the first set at 19.5 lbs just trying to get everything stretched back out again, did 15 mins and things weren't to bad.
On my second set I started with 22 lbs to see how it felt since Saturday's last set went so good. I made it about half of my set and had to drop back to 19.5lbs. Still did 15 mins (by the way I stop my timer when I'm switching weight I want to make sure I get the full 15 mins).
On my 3rd set I again started off with 22lbs and again about halfway through the set I had to drop back to 19.5lbs. I still was able to hang 3 sets 15 min each.
I know fractional weights would help me at this point but I just don't have them. I'll keep trying this method until I can get to hanging all 3 sets with 22lbs. Hopefully I can get some fractional weights soon. All in all everything is going good. I love the changes I'm already seeing visually and even what I can't see going on.
 
Sounds great brother. Look at prices near you for the fractional weights, golf weights or bat weights as well. Their round as well and might slip over the pipe you have. They might be cheaper or more money, just giving you a variety to look for. Even those ankle weights with the little inserts. Their like 1 lb per little sleeve. Just pull out 1 or 2 sleeves when you need to lower weight or add, easier and faster than to unhook and lose the little bit of time. Like add 1 lb for 2 minutes, remove 1, add 3. It'll be good for Mondays when you start over. Hell, even buy a solid pipe that you can cut into 1 lb or .5 lb pieces that you can skip inside the pipe hanger lol. All kinds of crap lol. That's why I don't frequent the hardware stores. I'll stand for an hour just thinking of what I can do. Gets annoying when 10 people ask if you need help, like really, do you hang weights off your dick. I'd like to run some ideas by you. C'mon lol.
 
^^^^^^^ Thanks for the suggestions. I definitely look into some of them.

Man so far this week my sessions have been a struggle. I've been able to get all 3 sets in at 15 min each but I have been having to grit my teeth to get the last part of each session in. I feel like I'm going thru another phase of my stretch. This week I have felt like I'm putting alot more stretch on the shaft and it's not as tough as the ligs are so it's been taking a beating. I get that burning sensation in the shaft about midway thru the session. I believe it's the good burn but I can tell it's really taking a whoopin. Anyway;
I hung 3 sets 15 min each with 19.5lbs. Wasn't able to go back up to 22lbs like I did yesterday.
 
There will be days or weeks that'll go by without a hitch, but then you get those few that test your resolve. Double check that the wrap or the hanger isn't sliding at all. That could give you a skin burn real easily. Massage and apply ointment like cortisone to help. The skin is always the worse. First to stretch and first to get hurt. Just stay aware for any signs of skin damage. I had to take a week off before because I didn't take care of my skin. I learned that the first time. Now there is always a tube of cortisone in the nightstand.
 
Thanks brother. I too have a tube of hydrocortisone in the bathroom cabinet. The burn I'm feeling though is a deeper burn than a skin burn and it doesn't start burning until about midway thru the set. It's like a good stretch burn but it still wears the little fellow out. I'm not sure how flexible you are but I can't bend over and touch my toes without the back of my legs and the area behind my knees burning. That's kinda of the feeling I'm feeling. It's just in the shaft instead of ligs. Like I said though it's all good just wearing it out quicker so far this week. Tomorrow is another day :) .

Iveadream, are you using Dave's technique on the days you struggle more with hanging heavier?

No cause it's not been so much starting off it's just I feel like I'm getting fatigued a lot quicker than I was last week and it just hasn't felt "comfortable" all week for some reason and I'm not sure what I'm doing different. I haven't even been able to think about going up to 22lbs like I did my last set Saturday.
 
Thanks Still.
I didn't post yesterday but I hung 3 sets 15 min each at 19.5lbs. Today I also hung 3 sets 15 min each but today I could only do 17 lbs. Damn it I'm going backwards instead of fowards. I think though I might have figured out my problem or I found a problem anyway. When I hang I still get a lot of build up mostly on the underside at the frenulum. It fills up pretty good with blood (I'm assuming ) seems to have caused some issues. I think I need to take off a few days to let it heal then start again. Notice in the pictures the black spots. I know that it's just blood but I'm sure that's not a good thing. The pictures were taken an hour after I hung this morning and you can still see the irritation if the skin .
I tell you what, if anytime I was going to give up on this this week would have been it.
It was kinda difficult to twist my dick around hold it and take a picture but I hope you can see what I'm talking about.

The first or second picture (sorry but I don't know which picture shows up first or second but I referring to the one where I'm rolling the skin over my head a little ) I tried to show what it does when I hang but it gets alot bigger than that.

Skin burn and stretch. I get it sometimes as well, mine is on the corona edge of my glans once a month. I can get pretty ashy, so I always apply lotion and ointment whenever I can. Remember, your using a different type of hanger. Try getting a softer bottom layer of wrap. Somehow the wrap is sliding down your shaft and irritating the skin. Massage and stretch throughout the day while washing and reapplying ointment. Stay doing manual stretches so as not to lose whatever growth you have.

Well actually it's not. If you look where the redness is and fades going back towards the pubic bone, where it's not red is where my wrap ends and it doesn't slide. What's happening is from the pressure of hanging causes it to swell (assuming from blood) right there real bad. I should've took a picture before I took my wrap off. I'll take one next time I hang to show you what I'm talking about. I am following your advice though about keeping lotioned up. Right now I'm using an antibiotic cream and apply it 3+ times a day. Heal up and start again. Not going to let it get me too down. :)

Get yourself a tube of bacitracin and hydrocortisone. The bacitracin use on the open cuts, the hydrocortisone for the terribly dried skin. I think if you heal and continue to use hydrocortisone you will not experience the cuts.

I've got some hydrocortisone and I'll get some bacitracin.
I kinda lied in my last post when I said I wasn't going to let it get me down. What I should've said is I'm gonna "try" not let it get me down. I guess it's just battle scars.
 
One of two things likely caused this bruising. Either you did not have a good, solid anchor point before you started hanging and the weight pulled forward under pressure, or you attempted a big weight increase before your penis was ready for it. One of those is usually the cause from my experience anyway.

Other causes may be too loose of a wrap, or your hanger isn't tight enough. You are completely flaccid before you put your hanger on?

Awesome. Use the Bacitracin on the open areas and use the Hydrocortisone, after you have healed, everyday to keep skin in perfect order.

Yeah I'm flaccid when I put on the hanger and I think everything is tight. I get only the same movement as you get in your video were you skin kinda rolls over your head a little creating a "shoulder". I'm going with to big of a weight increase to quick. All though at first everything felt good when I increased the weight I think it still might have been to much to soon. I'm really not sure. I'm going to drop my weight to 17 lbs which is the last weight I was at before I started having trouble and one I haven't really had to grit my teeth to make it thru my sets. I'm going to give it at least a week or longer till I'm comfortable moving up. I might have been to eager to increase weight before the entire penis was conditioned.

I wrap the same manner SWM wraps. It has been the best wrap I've done so far with the MH. I've tried other wraps even yours (no offense) for the MH and this one has been the best.

Same here, been using Still's wrap for like 10 years now :) Even when I ban him I still use his wrap :)

No need to say no offense. Doesn't matter to me how someone wraps. All that matters is any man finds the best way to wrap for themselves. WOuld you ever consider making a video where you show how to do your wrap then you apply the weight after showing how you apply the wrap and the hanger? That would help so many men

SWM - Do you have this video already? Or do you only show hanging once the wrap and hanger are already in place? If it doesn't exist that would be a great video. One straight shot.

I've thought about making a video but only to show the problem I was having but I'm going to hold off right now.

SWM has a great video on his sight ( Malehanger.com ) on how to wrap properly.

Now this is a side note for ykm and Templnite. Please don't fill my thread with your alls grievances. I've seen you two fuss in other people's threads and I would appreciate if you two would let this one be what it's meant for. Thanks gentlemen.

Update:
Yesterday I hung 3 sets 15 min each with 17lbs. Everything went really good. I added a little something extra to my wrap to try and control the "puffyness" of the skin at my glans and so far it's working.
I hung 3 sets today 15 min each with 17lbs using the same wrapping and it has helped. I'll be curious to see if it will help once I get to the higher weight where I kept having problems. I'm really anxious to try heavier weight to see if it helps but I'll restrain myself for now.
"What is it ?" you ask. I'm taking sports pre-wrap and wrapping it a few times just below my head just enough to keep it from swelling up while hanging. It still allows for it to create the "shoulder" for the MH to sit against when I hang it just has kept it from swelling up which in my opinion was causing the skin break down. Like I said right now it had helped for me. Only time will tell if it will continue to help and if it will help at heavier weight.

Nice going. Glad to see you getting things under control.
It sucks seeing some of these threads now but I hope they understand they're making things very bad. They both have good info to share, we just need a forum so they can squabble there. I'd bet it would a funny ass thread to read through. YKM would throw some info, templnite would throw up a funny video just to get a rise out of him. Let's keep it clean guys. We don't wanna lose good men over others beef.

Awesome! I love sports pre wrap. It is what made a huge difference in comfort for me using an [words=https://shop.mattersofsize.com/products/sizegenetics-penis-extender]extender[/words] and the [words=http://www.mattersofsize.com/forum/showthread.php?83577-Length-master-official-order-thread-now-shipping-06-16-2014!!!]LM[/words]. I now use a silicone sleeve beneath before the sports pre wrap when I do bundled stretches and it is even more comfortable.
 
Update:
Wednesday 12/16/15 I hung 3 set 15 min each with 17lbs. The little extra wrap I'm using seems to be helping. Haven't had any issues yet.

Thursday 12/17/15. I was not able to hang. I had to get up super early to go out of town for work and got back late. I'll use this day as one of my off days.

Friday 12/18/15. Hung 3 sets 15 min each with 17lbs. Everything with the wrap is still going good. Still taking things slow but I can't wait to see how it works with heavier weight.

Are you keeping things moisturized using Hydrocortisone?
 
Not sure what happened here on the site yesterday but I replied to DLD and runningignus and posted about my session but now it's gone. I kept trying to get on here last night but it kept saying something about the database. Oh well.

"Are you keeping things moisturized using Hydrocortisone?"
Yes. I've been using it everyday and it's helped out alot. It's kept it softer and I haven't had any skin dryness or cracking.

Crap I just realized both Monday and Tuesday's post are gone.

12/23/15
I hung 3 sets 15 min each. The first set I hung with 17lbs. My impatience got the better of me this morning so I went ahead and added 2.5lbs for my 2nd and 3rd set bringing me to 19.5lbs. It felt good but I'm a little afraid to get too excited we'll just see how things go but honestly it felt really good. :)

I am so sorry for the data loss. We lost a few hours of data due to a database issue. Please repost and I am very sorry.

That's ok. I know stuff happens beyond control sometimes. No harm no foul. :)

Hung 3 sets 15 min each. On the first set I started with 17lbs for the first 5 mins just to get stretched and warmed up. I believe SWM calls that the Daves technique. For the next 10 mins I moved it up to 19.5lbs. For the 2nd and 3rd set I hung with 19.5lbs. Everything still going good. I can tell, at least for now, that with the way it feels I should be able to get back to my heaviest weight to date in a week or two. Then I'll be able to focus on reaching new goals.

If I don't say it tomorrow,
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Hung 3 sets 15 min each . The first and 2nd sets I hung with 19.5lbs. I was curious again so I added 2.5lb plate and hung with 22lbs. It felt good and I got a good stretch.

12/28/15
Hung 3 sets 15 mins each and again the first and 2nd sets I hung with 19.5lbs and the 3rd set I hung with 22lbs. I know it's not really the correct way to do the progressive hanging routine I'm just testing the waters and seeing how my little extra wrap technique will do at heavier weight. So far it's working out really good. I feel like I'll definitely be able to hang more weight soon. I'm out of weight plates so I'm gonna have to get a 20 lb plate this weekend to get prepared.
Still trying not to get to excited about what's to come but things are looking good for now.
 
Sometimes it takes more time to increase weights as you keep going up. I know from my own personal experience, and with the men I have worked with, things can slow down. You just have to keep trying and you will go back to increasing again.
 
12/29/15
Hung 3 sets 15 min each. Again 1st and 2nd set hung with 19.5lbs and the 3rd set hung with 22lbs. I'm getting a real good stretch right now. Everything seems to be holding up real good. I'm so glad I figured my wrapping out. It's made all the difference in the world. So has the MH 2. I know everybody is different and can handle or work with different devices that best suits them and for now the MH 2 has allowed me to hang comfortably and effectively. I feel that it won't be long and I'll be setting a new personal best in weight.
 
Great to see Ivea! I'd stay with the weight range of 19.5 to 22lbs for at least a month now. Focusing on trying to get to the point that you are hanging the entire week with 22lbs if possible. At least, you should shoot for your first 3-4 days of the week with all sets being done with 22lbs, before needing to reduce your weight to finish your sets for the week. THEN, try moving up in weight the following month, or after you are able to hang most of your week as said above with 22lbs.

This post makes me feel good about what I'm doing because this is pretty much exactly what I was planning on doing. At least I know I'm going in the right direction. Like you said I'm going to stay the course until I can hang pretty much the entire week with the 22lbs before I add anymore weight.
Thanks SWM.

Thanks D. I really appreciate SWM'S advice and direction as well. It's nice to see that he's not just here to sell his product but will also guide you thru your journey if needed.

I also need to thank runningignus for all of his encouragement and advice. It's nice to have some brothers to stand behind me during my journey to offer advice, direction, and encouragement. Sometimes that's all it takes to continue on even when some days I don't feel like getting up early to do my session I feel like I'll not only let myself down but also those that have stood behind me. Silly as it may seem it does give you that extra push.
