what device?

[MyDay]

I'm tryed to scan the forum, but I suppose it is impossible not to restate questions that already have been stated 100 times.

Im new to this, and it is difficult to find my way in the products, so I ask for advise this way ...

I suppose I am at CI-3 ...
The product I have is TLC-x extensible tugger kit ... I udnerstand now that this is not the right thing for me, but I will hopefully use this later.
I have difficulty using the canister/tape metode .. its just hard on my skin ...
What productes should I trye?

What Im toing now is manual metode 2, (this and similar metode's I have done for years subcounciously, becaus I want the skin to extend over the glans, and the corona often hurts from touching the underwear.
What I do now is I some days use the TLC-x without the extending part that puts pressure on top of glance with cone, and tugg that way.

At CI-3 ... what metod would you sugest me using primarly?

If you are a CI3, the TLC X should work just fine.

ok paraseckin .. ty. I suppose I will get hang of it after a few weeks, I find it very difficult to apply the device, it falls of when Im walking, and the tention changes with the steps, specialy going in and out of the car and walking stairs.
Another problem is that the corona is being pressed forwards(outwards) and is very blue and sore after 1 houre of tugging ... the skin is being pressed outwards, and pushes on the backside of the corona. Is this comon problem?

[MyDay]

gromet=grommet? ... is that a kind of o-ring? ... Im not sure how you apply the gromet.
What I inmagen I need is a deeper thing ... where the wights are to be fastend, and a thing that is formed more like my glans, so it graps the skinn closer to the corona

OK, here's the full story with using the TLC X. The above mentioned method removing the pusher is a good one if you are having difficulty getting it on. However, at a CI3 using it as designed should not be a problem. Applying the device as Ron recommends is difficult if you are just starting and don't have a lot of skin to work with. Try this: make sure your device and your skin is literally squeaky clean. Then take the retaining cone and cold it back on itself 1/2 way and find something to hold it like that. I use a film canister or a pill bottle. Next apply the tugger body and pull your skin up evenly all the way around as high as you can and hold it there with an OK sign type of grip with one hand. Now, with the other hand, pick up the retaining cone, which you have previously folded and inserted into the film canister, with the finger tips of your other hand making sure to hold it evenly so it stays folded and lower it into place while quickly removing your grip hand and flipping the sides of the retaining cone down quickly. Its very similar to the way the DTR video shows their method, check it out. By doing it this way, it gives you that split second of extra time to trap more skin. Then just even up the skin all the way around, making sure to get it laid out as flat and evenly as possible so it's comfortable.
The other problem with the TLC X is that it needs a rubber grommet in between the wire handle and the retaining cone. (see pictures).

I couldn't find one as thick as yours Parsecskin. Can I ask where you found yours? I think Ron has a version too but couldn't find that either. Thanks

I realy didnt understand your explaination sorry ...

Im trying different things ... just now I have put in the pus-rod into the DLC-x ... so hopefully I have understood this correctly, that I put on the cone, and apply pressure onto the tip of my penis with the justable rod ... I put a bit of soft tissue in to the rod, that part that pusses against my glans. So now there is some tention directly into my glans, It realy dont feel good ... but, it is easier to have unter clothes than the thing strapped to my knee, and this is more constand

parsecskin --- was having some trouble getting sufficient skin under the cone on the tlc-x to get a good grip --- tried your tip about using the film canister and it worked perfectly and was so much easier to do. Thanks for that tip!

I couldn't find one as thick as yours Parsecskin. The orange cone shaped one in my pic is as close as I could find. Can I ask where you found yours? I think Ron has a version too but couldn't find that either. Thanks

I just went to my local hardware store. They have them in the nuts and bolts section in those little drawers. The one I got I actually had to grind down the thickness of it because it was a little too thick. You want it to float a bit when your device is under external tugging force. There are all sorts of sizes, you may find one that doesn't need any grinding.

What is your native language. I may be able to translate.

hi myday. i'm using the tlc-x and had the same issues.

not sure if this will help, but i'll try to explain what i did. first, i tried the tlc tugger and had the same issues as you. i am pretty sure i'm at a cl-3, too. but my penis just needed to get used to the damned device. i learned i had to take a step back, and use the canister + tape method for a couple of weeks. after that, i found i could use the tugger without any issue. the biggest issue is with this "grommet" thing, i found. so . . . i went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of large elastic hair bands. i wrap them between the retaining cone and the metal part of the tugger when i wear it now. it works great. i know it sounds strange, but i think my penis had to get used to the device little by little. after two weeks canistering, i could use the tugger without the rod, but needed the hair bands. a few weeks later, i was able to use it with the depressor and the hair bands. a few weeks later i am able to depress the thing the entire way and practically don't need to use the hair bands. i also had to experiment with different ways of utilizing the strap. that's a whole other story.

i hope this helps!

OK. I seem to be beating a dead horse here on my method for applying the retaining cone and the mysterious rubber grommet. I am thinking of maybe doing a video of the whole deal to prevent myself from getting a repetitive motion disorder.
