Purpose of theraband?

How about 1 set skin stretching and 3 sets regular? Is that ok or a recipe for problems?

I don’t know. The only issue I would see is if the sets skin stretching made the regular sets unbearable. For me it was a weakest link type thing. There are many times I stopped hanging for the day not because my penis felt fatigued but my skin couldn’t take anymore.

Doing regular sets will also target the skin. The issue for me was if I didn’t stretch the skin enough then when I increased the hanging weight the skin just can’t deal with it.

I really haven’t had this issue since I grew way to much skin due to bad technique. It isn’t pretty but it has the benefit that I don’t have to think about it to much anymore.

I would just stay where you are for a bit weight-wise and use a good, standard technique. When the skin stops burning consistently, you are probably OK to start moving up in weight again.

As BH says, skin can be the weakest link, but once it’s stretched enough you should be good to go. Any extra stretching you need to achieve in your skin will be accomplished during your regular sets after that initial burning period.

I just joined this thread today and going by the title of the thread I’d like to offer up an opinion about Theraband usage.

From the initial usage of Theraband the original intent was skin protection. I understand the problem of sticking to the skin and pain in its removal. I don’t have an argument about that perspective. Actually because of that problem I moved away from using it at all and replaced it with J&J Hurt Free tape. It provided the necessary grip for the hanger at the same time it protected the skin. Now having said that, I’d like to point out that skin stretch was eliminated. The secret to preventing skin stretch is to get enough tightness to prevent any slippage. Restricting hanging sets to no more then 20 min. will insure that damage from loss of circulation won’t happen. When I come to the end of a hanging set I don’t remove the hanger, just the weight and loosen clamp enough to allow fresh blood flow accomplished when a nice pinkish color is obtained at which point I just tighten the clamp and apply the weight again. In my case I hang SO (straight Out) with a bungee cord.

My skin stretch is not at the point of hanger contact. If I had any slippage there it was more like a friction burn. Different than stretch mark but like a brown discoloration on the skin.

The skin burn that I get is at the base of the penis even running up the first inch towards the abs. This is primarily in the BTC angle and even with no slippage of the hanger this used to happen. I have always been one to crank the hanger as tight as I could. For me I learned to do a better job of pulling my skin back before the placement of the hanger. This created slack and prevented the skin burn. However, when I first started hanging I didn’t really have that extra skin to work with.

I’m not really sure if your exit point ever really changes. I’m sure Bib says his did but I have gained well over an inch from all lower angle hanging and I really don’t see where my exit point has lowered. I am not even sure it’s physically possible. Then again, I could be totally wrong.

As for the original post, I still find the cotton shirt under wrap followed by Theraband works best. The reason for the Thera is to create a stable bundle for the hanger to attach to. Think of it this way: if you were able to attach directly to your penis with no wrap, you will experience major slipping as well as not being able to firmly grasp the penis. Now try to attach the hanger to a PVC pipe - it will grip it greatly. So the Thera (which is why Bib recommends using the thickest grade) will in essence make your penis more like the PVC pipe. The hanger will be able to attach and grab on to the internals.

How about your flaccid Mr Schlong has it increased quite a bit also?

And I wrap with a light cotton material from just over the coronal ridge to base. Then back off about an inch from ridge and make 2 passes with adhesive wrap 2” wide.

I’ve found that I have to use a new piece of wrap every 2 sessions (or 8 sets )or my hanger wants to start slipping. But I use a lot of vasoline.

I’m going to wait another 2 weeks or a month and then report where I am. I can already tell my flaccid has increased :-)

Overall, my flaccid has improved. It’s fatter and usually stays plump. Prior to hanging, my unit used to look like a child’s penis. It was embarrassing. If it ever starts reverting back, I start hanging again. I wish I could get my dedication back.

Do you think a 1day on 1 off jelking routine would keep the flaccid from trying to revert?

My flaccid size was the main reason I started PE. I can tell since I’ve been more consistent with my hanging my flaccid size has already increased a .25 inch. It’s fuller and longer throughout the day.

I don’t think that would be good, to be honest. Taking a day off from hanging allows your prior days work to heal up and the goal is to keep it in a weakened state.

Your exactly right. Given any amount of time for healing only leads to a tougher tissue structure and more difficult for gains to be made. That is of course unless your dick is made of taffy. :spin2:

Sorry didn’t mean it that way. I meant if a guy was done hanging, say he reached his goals after a few years. Or was satisfied with what he had achieved. And had cemented his gains, would a light jelking and possibly even light stretching routine be something he could do to retain his flaccid gains?

Well it’s definitely stretching further :-) If I would’ve thought a little harder when I joined the forum, I would’ve used Taffy Dick for my user name.
