How to start restoring your foreskin

by Tally on June 30, 2010

Tugging your foreskin can be fun, but don't pull too hardA common question for those interested in starting to restore their foreskin is how to start restoring.

Many men restore because two things will happen. First, foreskin restoration will result in a reasonable facsimile of a foreskin. And, second, foreskin restoration will increase sensitivity by allowing the glans and inner foreskin remnant to return to their normal, mucosal state. The second happens normally as a consequence of the first, but many men want to speed it up. I originally did not want to regain my sensitivity until I had enough skin to protect my newly sensitive glans. But, I regained some sensitivity before I had enough skin. And, it was very irritating having my sensitive glans rubbing against my clothing.

How to start restoring depends upon what is valued more, skin or sensitivity.

Magic Briefs: How to retain your foreskin without trying

by Tally on April 1, 2010

Magic Briefs as a foreskin retainer holding my foreskin forward and over my glans penisI frequent several foreskin restoration forums and websites. A member of one of those sites calls my underwear "magic briefs" because I keep talking about how my briefs keep my skin forward over my glans.

About two months after I started restoring my foreskin, my inner foreskin remnant started getting so sensitive that it was irritating for it to rub against the cloth of my shorts. So, I started wearing a baby bottle nipple retainer whenever I was not tugging.

Wearing a foreskin retainer made the problem worse. With my skin covered all the time, my inner forskin remnant and my glans dekeratinized, becoming even more sensitive. I needed to make sure that my newly sensitive skin was always protected. When I did not wear a retainer, the irritation was very distracting. Fortunately, as my foreskin grew longer, it was easier to keep my glans covered with a retainer and it became much less of a problem. I wore a foreskin retainer whenever I was not tugging.

Foreskin retainers, part 2

by Tally on December 7, 2009

TLC Tugger Your-Skin Cone retainerI wrote previously about foreskin retainers. I hold my foreskin forward with a baby bottle nipple retainer. I also use the TLC Tugger Your-Skin Cone. And, there are other alternatives. The foreskin retainer is invaluable for those who are trying to regain their sensitivity and do not yet have enough skin to cover their glans unaided. The foreskin retainer keeps the foreskin forward and allows the glans and inner foreskin remnant to dekeratinize and regain their natural sensitivity.

TLC Tugger sells the Your-Skin Cone. When I bought my TLC-X bi-directional tugger it came with a Your-Skin Cone. I also bought an extra one. The Your-Skin Cone is worn similarly to the baby bottle nipple retainer. As seen in the picture to the right, It is white silicone.  The Your-Skin Cone is just as easy to clean as a silicone baby bottle nipple. I just use regular soap to wash and rinse under running water.

The Your-Skin Cone stays on best when the foreskin had some tension on it. As my foreskin grows and as the temperature changes, I alternate between the baby bottle nipple retainers and the Your-Skin Cones. I prefer the nipple retainers because they have a lower profile than the Your-Skin Cone.  I occasionally snag the outside edge of the wide part of the cone. This dislodges the Your-Skin Cone. Some say that you can use sharp scissors to trim the edge. I have not tried it, but it seems like it would help.

Baby bottle nipple retainers

by Tally on December 1, 2009

Before I started restoring my foreskin, my penis was not very sensitive. My glans and shaft were the same color and texture as my arm. That is, my penis looked just like normal skin. Also, it was not particularly sensitive. I lost a lot of sensitivity with 50 years worth of rubbing against my shorts. The rubbing calloused my mucosal membranes. Then, I started restoring my foreskin.

After 2 months of manual tugging, my shaft skin was very wrinkled. I was almost a CI-3 on the coverage index scale. My inner foreskin remnant was starting to bunch up against my corona. With my inner foreskin remnant bunched up and protected, it started getting sensitive.

Unfortunately, as I moved around the bunching of the inner foreskin rolled back and forth against my shorts. The rubbing of the newly sensitive inner foreskin was very irritating. The solution was to pull my growing foreskin forward so that the inner foreskin would stay inside and be protected.
