Try the wrapping as I detailed it and let me know. I spent a lot of time over the years and can probably help you.
Hanger always slips off

I don't know. I've only every used Theraband. But I've seen it jut about everywhere: Drug Stores, WalMart, Target.dmoney101;456149 said:

Not sure exactly what those are. When I wash my Theraband with Fast Orange it's pretty sticky for a while afterward.dmoney101;457416 said:
But keep in mind you want the hanger grabbing the internals (as Bib used to say it) and not just clinging to the skin. Another way to put it is that the wrap is just for the sake of skin comfort. That's the reason for using as little wrap as you can. The hanger grabs on and bunches the internals forming a dam. (That's also why I thought a pipe clamp could cut into you.)

I don't think ACE wrap is a very good idea. It has texture which can dig in and chafe skin. That's why the t-band is so good.
Are you using a traditional round clamp which is a band about 3/8" wide or are you using a much wider pipe clamp? Specifically how much surface area of the clamp contacts your penis? (Diameter and length)

I don't understand the measurements. Are you saying the clamp is axially 3 inches in length and 2 inches in diameter? (I'm assuming the diameter is adjustable since it's a clamp.)
If the clamp is 3 inches long I think you're not achieving the purpose of a clamp-based hanger. Because the penis is soft the length of the clamp is not useful up to a certain point (probably 1-1/2 inches). Once the clamp tightens there will be tissue in front of the clamp which is the only tissue you'll actually be applying the undesirable portion of the weight to. The entire penis will of course be subjected to the desirable portion of the application of weight.
However, since the leading edge of the clamp is a sharp edge the brunt of the force will be experienced at that edge. This will probably end up being too large a force over too small an area. It will likely become a point where hemosederin and other bruise-related issues will occur. It would be unreasonable to expect such a small area of tissue to be able to adapt to higher and higher weight.
For example, the Bib has toe-in and toe-out adjustability which allows this edge to be more graceful. This provides a much greater surface area at the "leading edge", in fact it really becomes a "leading area". In other words the Bib can create a funnel effect at the leading edge allowing a larger mass of tissue to experience the brunt force. A larger mass of tissue can also adapt more easily since the trauma is milder overall with the load being spread out.
I can see how the t-band would just slide off at some point. Since the clamp is concentric only a very high amount of radial force would keep it applied. However this exacerbates the leading edge issue. It's a downward spiral of returns. The tighter you clamp it, the worse the effect on the leading edge. Loosening it allows it to slide. The "sweet spot" would be a very accurate combination of tightening the clamp versus the amount of weight. I would find that to be entirely too much trouble.
This doesn't mean you need to buy a Bib, but I think you should consider the design.
For example, if you could tighten the clamp to form a conical shape you could achieve the same effect as the Bib. You might even consider using a staged clamp which allows for different tightness along the course of the clamp. The loosest end would be the leading edge and the tightest end would be toward your pelvis. With this shape you'll find the clamp will not slip: it would be impossible (unless the weight was so great it tore off your penis).

A Bib Hanger costs more than the LengthMaster but with the LM you can do much more than hang.

I think they run between $75 and $150 depending on which one you choose. I use the Hard Core.dmoney101;457799 said:
However, since you're DIY inclined I think if you just produced the conical shape you'd be set. Sounds like Kingsnake was able to dial in the "sweet spot". But since you're getting slippage I think you need to alter the design to create the funnel. I don't think you need more than 1/8 to 1/4 inch difference between one end and the other. (The wider end goes toward the glans.) You need to squeeze out the blood in your glans while tightening the clamp and connecting and applying the weight.

Can you post a picture of your current device?dmoney101;458066 said:

i can't take a picture right now, but it's basically the exact same thing as the one kingsnake made

the only difference is i don't have shark tarp clips, i got some smaller ones that hold too

I don't see how you could make that clamp create a funnel shape. Perhaps the leading edge can be bent out slightly with pliers or a vice?
