I'm sorry to hear your troubles with the
SS2, brother. What you're describing to you suddenly brought back some recent memory of myself and other brothers encountered. But, I have to ask a few questions and provide some assuming thoughts along the way.
Maybe the Silistretcher might work for some but for me the past couple months it's been bothersome. For one the MOS Sleeves rip really easily.
Ripping part, how did the
sleeve ripped? I think you may be using the
SiliSleev #2 that has a thinner wall, roughly 5mm thick, or rather, around 4mm thick. When you're overstretching a thinner layer too hard, it can rip quite easily. If you have a sharp fingernail and accidentally create a crease while pulling it apart, there goes that
sleeve too. I did toss quite a few of mine out during the window of learning as well. I save a few to use as double lining for days I run around quite a bit.
2nd the I turn it half ways clockwise only to end up with a blister. Now today I'm back using the Silistretcher after taking two weeks off from the blister. Only today to end up have the bell filled with blood because the Silistretcher force ripped off the skin of my glans.
Ah, two things I'm assuming you're approaching the
cap/bell. One, you probably inserted the glans in and went full erection to keep things stabilized,
strap everything in properly, created a semi-vacuum, and turn the knob. When your glans is flaccid, that's around 2inHg positive pressure inside your penis. When you're at full erection, that's around 4 to 4.5inHg. Half a turn on the knob, that's another -4inHg. Total pressure may have exceeded 7inHg inside the glans.
If your glans was not preconditioned to go that high, and the skin is sensitive or thin, a blister will form. This was my accidental mistake on the 2nd week of usage.
The other assumption is that you twist the knob, release the pressure lightly to get everything situated, thinking that the pressure was completely vacated, and turn the knob again for that half turn, the pressure know reach between -5inHg to -7inHg. You
strap that bell on under high pressure, and you accidentally bend over where the
strap is in front of your knee. The bell pulls and creates a higher traction pull pressure that exceeds beyond -10inHg as the bell and your glans create a powerful suction. This is where the blister forms. If your glans skin is very thin, the blood blister will pop. This happened to me on my 3rd month of usage.
Terrible pain. In the past I was using the VLC tugger with the extender and had no problems whatsoever with that. I was so excited to finally break my plateau but seeing it's almost impossible to get the Silistretcher right, I guess I keep searching again for proper healing extension.
If you use the VLC Tugger, that only has a suction on the top part of the glans and not the entire glans. The
SS2 bell pulls on the entire glans, creating less stresses overall. It will take a bit of learning curve to gain this comforts.
Do let us know what happened so we can resolve the issue during mounting on the unit and strapping for duration wearing. If you simply
strap on and cause a bleeding, we have to figure where it went wrong.
If you want to use other extension type of devices, the only next one is going back to VLC Tugger or the
strap/noose type of extender. Full vacuum cup type may not work for you until your glans is preconditioned. Preconditioning can be worn with the bell without twisting the knob at all. It's about mounting it correctly and it still generates around 2 to 3inHg of pressure. We can help you with that too.
