Wrapping and turtling

[JakeThePeg]

Hey all,

First time posting on MoS - but first PEing about 15 yrs ago on and off with small gains. Now it’s time to take it seriously (finally have the opportunity) and am starting with the initial manual version of SRT. I’m probably not able to train with equipment (including a BathMate I already have) for a few months still though.

I’ve started wrapping, but some meds I’m on cause really severe turtling when they kick in that can last a few hours or all day (also making it difficult to tell if the body is pushing back on training). When this happens the glans will either succeed in shrinking back into the wrap, or rub on the wrap as it tries to, causing irritation and pain (especially when sitting down).

Has anyone come up against this before and found something that works? Main objective seems to be keeping the glans from rubbing on the wrap…

Thanks!

You’re telling me I need to put theraband on the whole shaft when wrapping??

No. Only at the locations where you need traction. ONLY and ONLY if you need to wrap the entire penile shaft for comfort, such as to prevent chaffing because of the other wrapping tape or materials, then use the entire penile shaft length. Otherwise, only at the locations where you need to create traction.

I saw the wrapping video and it only shows folding it a few times at an inch width and putting it just behind the head and then use an ace wrap on the rest of the shaft!! I’m pretty sure you told me this. My technique is pretty good, there’s still good blood flow but there is a slight draw back…..it’s not full traction though but I can pee good and never gets uncomfortable. Am I losing gains by not having absolute full traction though???

This is the preferred method. Everyone has his own approach. This is my approach.

Can you explain the step by step healing process? I understand hurtling but I just want to know exactly what is happening during healing. Sometimes it’s hard flaccid and turtles. Healing is critical in gains and I wat to gauge when I can exercise again and how long I should wait. Thanks

For me, the healing process has always been massage with a light oil and then I would wrap for the rest of the day. But as I was wrapping, every time I took a break, I would make sure it's tighter, hang not loose. I would usually go for 2 hours and then take a break, then I would go for another session of two hours and then I would take a break and so on and so forth.

You must have to take it off to pee?

Full traction is best for gains, rather than a comfortable wrap with maybe 80-90% traction with good blood flow and easy urination? When I go full traction, the wrap is too tight and I don’t have good blood flow! But I have worn a sleeve, but that’s kind of difficult to have in my line of work.

No. If pee gets onto the wrapping and make a mess, or you cause your pee stream to spray everywhere, then sure. Wrap it loosely enough but still keep the penis elongated, then no.

Personally, I think it's a bit more comfortable to remove the wrapping completely when urinating. I had the wrapping on one time, and it was kinda painful peeing, so it's definitely an experience I don't want to feel again, but this is just my urination preference lol.

That’s just it, for full traction you have to wrap it really tight and then you can’t piss. And the tip gets cold and you don’t have a lot of blood flow so I have a comfortable wrap where there is a slight pull back a.k.a. turtle but there’s good blood flow and I can piss through it.

I mean, how long does a wrap take, a couple of minutes? So when you go to the bathroom, remove the wrap pee and put it back together again. This is not only smart in this way, it's also smart, because you're going to lose some traction, as you're wearing it, and you'll, you need to tighten up that wrap every few hours to make sure you're getting the best stretch possible.

DLD, how do you wrap it tight enough to have full traction and have good blood flow every time I wrap it with full traction it’s too tight and then the tip gets cold and I don’t have good blood flow so doesn’t that defeat the purpose of healing because you need blood flow for healing?

When you are on the run and only age 5 minutes to take a poop rest, you got to be quick. But if you have to take it off and put it on every 2 to 3 hours, and spend up to 5 minutes in the toilet each time, your work can get quite suspicious of you. Been there. They thought I had a leaky issue withu butt during a year of SS2 usage.

It's not how much I tighten more than keeping elongation not to turtle your penis. So I guess I tighten just enough to keep my penis extended.

You have to find a spot at your job where you can hide from someone without them knowing you're gone. Or make some shit up like I am on a new medication, and it makes me have to go to the bathroom, every hour.

Oh, I can formulate the DIY solution to make me need to "disappear" every hour. But my gut and anal won't be smile at me in a friendly way.

It sucks getting a blister on the bottom base. Found a good way to wrap with full traction and I developed a blister. When you have a blister down there, you can’t wrap your penis because it will never heal and it just gets worse so you have to shorten up the wrap and just deal with it while it dries out and heals but you lose your traction and it looks like you’re losing gains And I feel like your penis turtles more when there’s the slightest injury because it’s in protection mode. Can’t do ball and lig stretch either cause it tears at the blister. But it’s just about fully healed and you can see it doesn’t turtle like that anymore and you see the gains again. Injuries can mess with your head so anyone who can relate to blisters. Stay with it. Thanks to you gurus for helping me understand this journey better. It does work

Blisters are one of the biggest pains in the ass. We just need to find out how we got them. There must be some particular reason people get blisters. I never had one until recently. Where it's at my bass, above the fat pad. What I will be doing is hot wraps 3x a day. Then you want to do deep tissue massage. Never ever pop the blister with the method I gave above.It won't pop on its own. Popping, a blister, it can cause nightmares over the skin. I know so many are so determined to get rid of the blister they will do things like this. It's better to wait a week or two, then to pop it in one day. Take it easy and slow and allow it to heal on its own.
