slipping out of the silistretcher? try this!

Okay so I tried using the ace bandage and after a while, the fabric caused irritation. So I’ve went back to using the self adhesive bandage

cool, thanks.

EDIT: yes the odor lingers in the room wherever I put it on. But I also turn on my bathroom vent to help vent out the smell.

i even had to turn on the ceiling fan to help dissipate the odor. i tried to apply it in the bathroom, as well, but the smell still stuck around.

I just woke up and took off the self adhesive bandage. Unfortunately the texture of it can sometimes cause skin pain after wearing it for so long. So I’m gonna try using Jim’s wrap instead of the self adhesive bandage next.

after having it on for so long, i think it would be better to remove the tape and re-apply. i have a "wrap" that i put on under my glans to protect the frenulum. my frenulum starts to get irritated when i wear my sleeves for hours. i just take off my "wrap" for a few minutes then i put it back on.

I’m trying the tape for the frenulum instead of the wrap. I have two strips stuck together on either side and I wrap it around (it’s not sticky). I do two of these. So now I’m gonna see how well that goes. Both the bandage and ace bandage was quite irritating

But so far I haven’t had any fluid retention at all in my glans or the frenulum area in the slightest. No swelling. No sensitivity. No bruising like I was getting. No skin peeling. No blisters. Nothing at all.

Brilliant thread I have stuck it!

red, it is an honor to not only receive a comment from you, but you also stuck the thread. i am truly appreciative of this because it shows that i am giving back to the brotherhood in a positive way.

i might try more of the tape tonight. right now, i have a "wrap" over my frenulum that works for a few hours before irritation. let me get the name of what i'm using and i'll make an edit to give you an exact name for the product.

edit: the product i'm using to protect the frenulum is called gel corn pads 2pk by cvs. these pads are a little different from other gel corn pads that i've used previously. normally, gel corn pads have a thin gel insert going around the circumference of the band. the ones i'm using from cvs has a single gel pad that is thicker and only has 1/3 of a circumference in the band. the thicker part helps cushion the frenulum better and is more comfortable for me. however, it is a tight fit until the band stretches out. for me, when it was new, it got uncomfortable after 30 minutes. now, i can leave it on for about 5 hours, sometimes longer, before taking a break. i don't sleep with it on because i will wake up from it tightening up during erections. also, there is an annoyance with the band. after it gets stretched out, it folds inwards and starts digging into the skin. i counter this by flipping the inward curve to the top of the band. i'm now hanging 15lbs for 30min with little FR on the frenulum; the glans is a different story LOL

I was just about to do that LOL

i updated post #2 tips section with tips #'s 5, 6, 7. i will include it in this post in case you don't want to go back


#5 blister prevention: i'll have the combo, please
( thank you @Rollie_Boy for this solution )

- i have seen many members , myself included, use one type of technique for blister prevention. it's either put on a silicap , or put on some type of tape, or put on new skin, etc... why not try a combo of different methods? new skin is great as it is, but it can "wear off" from the pressure or rubbing against the sleeve . after applying new skin, put tape on top of the product. this will not only reinforce the product, but there is no tape that sticks to your skin. i've had the beautiful experience of removing micropore tape from my glans... yikes!!!

please, see post #23 for a thorough explanation for this solution

#6 when you gotta go, you gotta go: peeing with the sleeve on

- members in the silisleeve forum have asked about peeing while in the sleeve . this applies here, too. some members suggested taking off the sleeve , but i keep mine on. having to deal with a ss2 and sleeves just makes it easier to keep on. i've copied and pasted my comments from the thread:

i don't take off the sleeve and i don't dribble ( as far as i know )
this is how i do it after peeing

1. i do 3 hard kegels
2. btb jelq until the base of the penis ( i personally start in the middle of the perinium )
3. at the base of the penis, squeeze the penis shaft in finger width increments moving towards the glans
4. when you get to your glans, squeeze the glans until you get to the tip ( you may get a little dribble on your finger this way,,, but you wash your hands, right?? hehe)
5. do this 2x

#7 sore frenulum? use corn... gel corn pads that is...

the product i'm using to protect the frenulum is called gel corn pads 2pk by cvs. these pads are a little different from other gel corn pads that i've used previously. normally, gel corn pads have a thin gel insert going around the circumference of the band. the ones i'm using from cvs has a single gel pad that is thicker and only has 1/3 of a circumference in the band. the thicker part helps cushion the frenulum better and is more comfortable for me. however, it is a tight fit until the band stretches out. for me, when it was new, it got uncomfortable after 30 minutes. now, i can leave it on for about 5 hours, sometimes longer, before taking a break. i don't sleep with it on because i will wake up from it tightening up during erections. also, there is an annoyance with the band. after it gets stretched out, it folds inwards and starts digging into the skin. i counter this by flipping the inward curve to the top of the band. i'm now hanging 15lbs for 30min with little FR on the frenulum; the glans is a different story LOL

I would consider trying the gel corn pads. However my flaccid girth when stretched is between 4-4.5”. Would those be too tight for me?

And as an update. After reading this thread and trying the various experiments and tests. I’m now able to wear the silistretcher up to 20 hours a day. I usually underestimate by a few hours because sometimes I sit down and whatnot. But even still. This is FAR better than what I was able to do with the Penimaster Pro.

the SiliStretcher is the best in the business because we make it ourselves! The brotherhood is our R and D! Only the best!

it will be a tight fit until it stretches out. you have a large girth, so it will be pretty uncomfortable for you, possibly even painful at first. i suppose you can put it over a cylinder to stretch it out. i can stretch the one i'm using now over the bell of the ss2, just to give you an idea about the stretchiness. i don't recommend doing this, as it was just a one time thing, but it is pretty stretchy.

it must be nice to be able to wear it up to 20 hours a day! i wish i could... i've been trying to sleep with it on to get extra hours, but take it off after about 1 hour because of soreness; no blisters or major FR. if i could at least get a full nights sleep with it on, i can get to an estimated total of 12-14 hours a day, which would be an improvement of the hours i get with it on now...

I found the silipad used to help allot with comfort

i use the silipad and have never taken it out. it worked well until i got to 10lbs hanging. the challenge for me is the bell will drag the sleeve down a little bit with the weight, so my glans loses contact with the silipad. i'm trying to think of a remedy for this and tried a couple of things without success. i still have a couple of ideas to try ?

Are you using duro sleeves

i'm using the duropros right now. i was using the durosleeves until i got to 15lbs hanging, then made a switch to the pros. the duropros have a little stretch to them, but i think it's my skin that's loose and gets pulled down, essentially, causing the bell to be pulled down a little bit as well. i've also noticed the silipro gets pulled over my glans a little bit when everything gets pulled down. i have a feeling it's my skin stretching and not the silipro that's slipping because when i take off the ss2, the silipro is in the original place on my shaft.

this is how i strap into the ss2: i put on a 3" silipro as my wrap ( start below the glans and roll down ) and then i secure the bell onto the silipro with a duropro.


edit: grammar

I’ve had to return to this thread. For some odd reason, I stopped using the new skin and a week later, I’m having skin issues with my glans again (skin peeling and getting firm). So I’m having to take a week off and wait for it to heal. From now on, I will use the new skin as well as cloth tape on top of the newskin like I was previously doing.

If somethings working don’t fix it. I’m glad you’ve realize this and are going to go back to a much safer method

I was trying to see if I could get away with not using the newskin. It takes so long to do every morning.

Unfortunately this resulted in my skin not reacting properly. So once I’ve finished healing, I’ll go back to using the newskin again.

You gave it a try and that’s very smart thing to do. You can continue to improve things by experimenting with different methods. But in my opinion the extra time it takes is worth it if you’re comfortable.
