Jelq direction

I’ve been jelqing for a month and half now, some weeks consistently and other weeks not. I’ve gained about 1/8th inch. I jelq downward and doing so I get allot of skin bunched up as I reach the glans. Jelqing upward makes it easier to hold the skin back for me, but was wondering if doing that lets in less blood since it’s a shorter stroke.

My routine

-Hot wrap
- Stretch
- Regular jelq
- Modified Uli ( I grip the base with one hand and use the other to force blood up and repeat)

You don’t say whether you wet or dry jelq I assume the you do a dry jelp if you get skin bunched up.

Try a wet jelq and hold the foreskin at the base with your other hand. That should allow you to do a full stroke without bunching.
