My Restoration Journey

[Longmark15]

Hey Fellow Restorers! My name is Mark and I'm 23 years old. I've been restoring on and off for a couple years now.. but haven't seen the results I've hoped for, due to lack of commitment. I figured by joining this network, and writing a blog about my journey, I'll be able to hold myself accountable and speed up my restoration progress, Currently I am what the Foreskin Coverage Index refers to as a CI-3. When I started restoring around the age of 20yrs old, I'm almost certain I was a CI-1. As far as devices go, I purchased the DTR tugger because of Chuck's amazing restoration journey and results. He is an inspiration to me and many others who feel like they've had something taken from them without a choice. My goal this month is to restore (on average) 4 hours everyday using the dual tension method (double grip). Depending how well it goes, I will increase the number of hours I restore per day. From what I've read on the web, it doesn't necessarily matter how many hours you use a device, rather than how much tension you are using for those hours. I usually use one elastic rubber band when I'm restoring because I tend to use my device around bed time. I plan on putting my device on earlier so I don't have to worry about falling asleep with it on, because that can be very dangerous. Therefore, I'll be able to use more tension (Two elastic bands instead of one). So basically, (this month) I will be using my DTR for 4 hours a day (double grip) with the dual tension method using BOTH elastic bands. ANYWAY, If you have any tips or questions about foreskin restoration, send me a message and I will do my best to get back to you. Also, I will be uploading more pictures tomorrow but for right now, here are some pictures of what dual tension looks like on me.

I'm using this method with the one rubber band, however I've tended to notice my glans seem to be taking a beating from being pushed in. They often get temporary welts from the cup and can feel a little sore or sensitive after a while.

I read that 10min of manual tugging a few times of day speeds up the process, I'll have to try it more often

For sure 😎 I'll upload some new pictures a month from now 👌🏾

I use the TLC-Tugger as well as do some manual tugging sessions when ever I use the bathroom or right before bed. I've noticed a lot more progress (for me) with doing manual tugging rather than using the tlc-tugger. Have been looking into the DTR and plan on getting one. But manual has been great for me, try it out sometime and see how it goes.

What methods do you use when you're in the bathroom? I've used the tugger for past two years (got from an extremely tight C1 to C3) yet I've been between a c3 and c4 for past 5 months now. So for the past month I stopped using the tugger and started manual only whenever I go to the bathroom, normally takes 2-3 mins per 'session'.

I missed a few days restoring this week, which is kind of upsetting but hopefully I'll be able to make up some of that time Today! Sundays are great for that 😊

Just curious what keeps other users motivated to keep tugging day after day? I feel as though I'm making good progress, but I'm dying to know what it's like to finally be restored. If anyone has advice, stories, pics, ect.. feel free to share. Tumblr isn't helping lol

It's easy to get discouraged at first as the progress can be hard to see, but once you start making some gains - and it happens pretty quickly, you will be more motivated to keep at it. Once you have visible results it makes it seem worthwhile. For me though, the real payoff has been the increased sensitivity I experience. I notice it during intercourse, but I notice it even more when I jack off - the new sensations are incredible. Feeling the foreskin over the head of my penis, especially when the precum starts to flow, is a feeling like nothing else. My ejaculations are harder and much more intense - the sensitivity is remarkable. Dont get discouraged.
