what does your home made hanger look like? I am using a captan's wench. and it works. I am at 7ibs. As far as painful goes, You have to look at how it is being clamped. Also a good wrap is necessary. I cut a strip from an old towel and wrap it around before I place the hanger on. And warming up and stretches also help make it more comfortable .
 
Don't bother with that thing it's just a waste of money.

Wrapping correctly takes time to figure out. Use lower weight until you get the feel for wrapping - for that weight. As you go up in weight you'll learn how to adapt your wrapping.
 
If you are going to hang there are only a couple options to purchase as hangers, the LengthMaster or the Bib. Outside of these two hangers some build their own, like the Snake CHoker by KingSnake. When hanging, extending and the like, it is vital to learn to wrap correctly. There is a couple of wrapping videos in the SizeGenetics FOrum and the Hangers Forum. Take your time, learn to wrap with expertise, and you will be golden. When I di not know how to wrap I could not hang 5 pounds without piunching and pain, after mastering wrapping I was able to hang up to 50!
 
Agree on what DLD said, wrapping is 90% in hanging, really. Just be creative and take whatever feels comfortable and doesn't cause slipping. I read in the forums about a guy who used an insole as a wrap which according to him was amazing. Fantasy is not defined :).
 
i get my wrapping thick enough that there's no discomfort whatsoever, until the hanger falls off 30 seconds later

The thicker the wrap the faster it falls off. Also, thicker wrap adversely affects the hanger's effectiveness. I know it seems counter-intuitive, but thinner wrap is better.
 
Try a two ply wrap of theraban on the skin with ace bandage on the theraban. One tight wrap of each, very smooth and even, see if this helps. Any kind of wrinkle or bump in the wrap will cause pain. Wrapping is king with the LM.

I guess i get a smaller pipe clamp for it to work
 
KingD just made a post showing how to use LengthMaster more comfortably, maybe it will work for you too. Last post in the thread.

I recommend using a strip of Theraband 2-1/2" wide by 15" long. Start the wrap about 3/4" behind the glans. Wrap around the penis, but loosely. Not loose enough for space between the T-band and skin, but not tight at all. As you wrap, move 1/4" toward the penis base like a barber pole. When done, apply a piece of tape to hold it. (Have the tape ready before you start. Also: fold over one end of thetape to use as a handle to remove the tape because it's hard to peel tape off of T-band.)

You will find this to be the most comfortable wrap of all. I have tried numerous wrap styles, materials and combination of materials but nothing worked as well as this.

you mean the exercise band right?

wouldn't foam just break as soon as you tightened the clamp?

Not at all, it is quite resilient.

Yes. And I forgot to mention: put a very light coat of vaseline on your penis. Very light, wipe off any excess. Unfortunately this also means you'll have to wash the T-band every so often, but comfort is king.

Do not use too much. Too little is better than too much.

you think i should get a smaller pipe repair clamp then? I made a hanger with the 2" clamp like Kingsnake recommended but maybe i need a 1.5" one

I don't know about using pipe clamps. I don't like the idea of not being able to take it off in a hurry. I guess if you have a cordless drill with a nut driver handy you could remove it fast. But I also don't like the idea of a weight tied to a thin metal strip: a slip up could shave a chunk of penis.

But that aside, I think a circular clamp is a bad idea as it cuts off everything all the way around. I believe you're better off using something which leaves the dorsal and urinal areas alone. Perhaps two slightly curved pieces of wood which are clamped (perpendicular) together using bolts (parallel) ? (Each with respect to the floor)

I've seen some of these designs from time to time.

Well i don't have the change for a bib hanger and it's actually really comfortable while it holds. i thought it was gonna pinch and feel like shit but i like it better than manual stretches, that's for sure. plus, kingsnake used it without any problems and gained. what hanger do you use?

I use a Bib Hardcore and an SS heavy duty as a tag-team.

But don't get me wrong: I'm not saying don't use the gear you have, I was just expressing some concerns. You've probably already considered these, so ignore my comments.

i see your points, but if worse comes to worse, i can just pick the weights up and be fine...assuming i could ever get the hanger to hold
