Sorta new to restoring...

[JewishGoy]

Hi, all! I first starting tugging about 1-2yrs ago when I found foreskin restoration... Since around age 6 or 7 I've always known something was "wrong" with my penis... I just didn't know what it was called until my tween years. I stopped tugging about a month after I started as it was difficult to keep it up and haven't tugged again until recently when I saw an article about a girl who died as a result of FGM, reminded me of my own mutilation and now I'm hellbent on undoing the damage done to me at birth. Now, I don't know if this is going to be an issue here on the forums but I am 16... I definitely won't be posting any pictures on here of myself/my progress however I just want to make sure that having an underaged person on this forum abides by forum rules. Haven't brought up foreskin restoration to my parents yet however they do know that I resent the fact that I was circumcised and of my belief that it is mutilation. I started cross-taping recently and decided to step it up a bit. As I don't have much $$$ to spend I decided to build my own TLC Tugger tonight... Spent like $7 at Publix supermarket and bought 3 funnels and cut (two of) them to size. Then took apart a binder clip and used the bent metal part on the inside. Sanded it off (and smoothed the metal edges) and now I have a (slightly off-center) TLC tugger... Holds well and only time will tell how well it works! Here is an imgur album with the homemade tugger: http://imgur.com/a/haCWO

Edit: After I took those pics I cut the protruding metal (the two little poky parts) shorter and sanded it smooth and to play it safe covered it with electrical tape. Everything was also washed off and sanded smooth so there are no rough edges (unlike the pictures)

Homemade device is slipping a bit, I've noticed the inside cone is a bit small, should it be larger for more surface area= more grip?

Just make sure you use FOOD GRADE silicone rubber. Don't use aquarium grade or anything else. The chemicals will burn your skin.

Everything I used was food grade (cooking funnels). I didn't think about using silicone, always through the TLC was just plastic so I should use a baby bottle nipple basically?

I'm impressed with your DIY tugger. I'm just getting started on this journey so really new. I wish I had done this when I was your age!

Thanks! I need to rework the inside glans cover for it to properly fit and probably make it out of a bottle nipple or something. My goal is to be fully restored by the time I lose my virginity... At 16 (single) and still in HS, I figure there's plenty of time left for THAT but I might as well get started ASAP. Plus I hear it goes a little faster when you're younger

I would have to agree that things tend to work faster when you are younger, not that I am 'OLD' but certainly much older than you. Keep us posted on your modifications I am curious to see what you come up with!
