Glans pain using Silistretcher

Did it help with reducing fluid retention?
Others have reported that it does, I believe. I didn't do any before/after testing myself, but I definitely do get significant fluid retention when I use the ADS. I also use ADS without a break (eg a couple days ago I wore it for 5.5 hours straight, not broken up into 2.5 hrs and then 3 hrs or something).

Actually, I think I jinxed myself in this thread... after I took the ADS off on Thursday I had some peeled skin right around the urethra. :( So I guess I will take this fluid retention seriously, then!

A couple questions of my own for the thread:

-How big does the hole in the SiliCap need to be? I literally just stuck a pin through it and was done. No visible hole, I couldn't find it if you asked me to. Does the hole need to be more substantial than that?

-If I start taping up, is there a recommended sort of tape to use? I can't imagine scotch tape working too well. :)

We use a 2mm punch to make a hole in the tip. Microporous tape is the tape you want.
 
Great answers guys!
 
When I use a silicap the sleeve tends to sink in leaving a kind of hole or something on the durosleeve but without the cap the sleeve doesn't sink in.
 
@Lightning @Brawn Johnson @DLD is the silicap compulsory? if yes, why? I would like to know the exact use of the silicap
Nothing is compulsory, but obviously the cap is recommended. I'm using it in order to prevent expansion of the glans in the vacuum, because I don't want to add girth to my glans. If I can tweak it here to eliminate fluid retention specifically that will be excellent, otherwise I'll add some tape on as well.

Would wrapping the glans with a bandage before using the SS prevent fluid retention?
 
You wouldn't need to do that if you use a silicap.

It works by providing a protective layer around the penis, so the outside forces from the vacuum don't cause a problem.

Doesn't seem to be working very well for me at the moment, @longstretch made mention of using a microfoam tape, I would look into that and see how well it works with the Silistretcher. I don't want to risk getting blisters again.
 
You can use micro foam or micropore tape. The silicap should be enough up to like 12 lbs or so. Are you also using a silipad?

If you don't mind post some pics of your setup or send to my pm. Hard to critique based on written descriptions.

The SiliCap wasn't working that well for me either, as I've mentioned here in this very thread. HOWEVER...

This made a BIG difference. When I first made a 'hole' in my SiliCap, I just pushed a pin through it and thought that was enough. It is not! I tested it yesterday and even with that pinhole I was able to blow the SiliCap up like a balloon and get it preeeetty big before a little air started escaping. I worked the hole a bit with a knife until there was actually a tiny-but-visible hole even without stretching the material, and yesterday I had my most intense session yet with the SiliStretcher (6 nonstop hours at ~4lbs tension) with barely any fluid retention at all! Just a tiny little bit of it around the tip, and not nearly as noticeable even in that much smaller area as what I was getting before.
 
Such a simple and perfect modification.
 
We belelieve the new deep SiliPad3 is going to eliminate the need of the SiliCap with the SiliStretcher2 but YMMV
 
The limiting factor with using anything around the glans for extended periods is fluid.

Some will be more prone to fluid retention, no matter what they do, so it's a case of preventing damage to the head, while maintaining a good stretch.

My gut tells me, that even with newer silipads, a silicap would be wise to be worn alongside, maybe even put a condom over the fitted silicap before entering a silistretcher to give additional support when going for hours upon hours.
 
Can’t wait to try this!
