I wanted to try direct air, and I also wanted to put the majority of the strain on my outer skin. Outer skin has always been my priority because my scar was originally towards the middle of my member and the lack of outer skin had dragged my pubic hair all the way down to my scar line. I modified the original DTR for direct air by inserting 3/8" aquarium tubing into the top of the bell and cutting the thumb off an old latex glove, which I snapped onto the plastic side of the gripping end for extra traction and thickness.
At first I was blowing into the end and bending the tubing to keep pressure, but my DIY setup would deflate in 10-15 minutes and I would lose tension in much less time than that. I decided to use an aquarium pump to maintain a constant pressure after that. I occasionally vacuum pump and have used modified aquarium pumps regularly; 10-20 gallon aquarium pumps maintain a constant ~2.5psi of pressure, which is great for expanding tissue while not causing damage.
The aquarium pump blowing into the end turned out to be a great, constant stretch. I also tied a thick shoelace at my hairline to keep the air tension focused in front of it. Unfortunately, the pump was too good of a stretch because the gripping bell would work its way off my penis after 10-15 minutes. After some trial and error, I settled on using a wide, short rubber band to reinforce the gripping bell from the outside. The combination of the high air pressure, the rubber band, and the shoelace does compromise blood circulation, unfortunately, so sessions were limited to 30-45 minutes at a time.
I was very impressed with the results, which is why I wanted to come out of my shell and share it with you guys here. After three months of twice-a-day modified direct air sessions, I ended up at CI-6+ with essentially all of the new skin being outer, non-hairy skin. It was at that point that I realized that my inner skin was uneven, and so I've spent the last month or so manually tugging to even things out before I do more direct air sessions. I also wanted to take a break because I was honestly concerned about the width of my skin with how fast things were moving, but the width has reset for the most part while the length has retracted very little.
