I found this board a few weeks ago while researching recommendations for replacement self-adherent tape to use with RestoreX, and finally decided to join.  :)  This forum had a wealth of information about a sensitive topic (no pun intended).

I'm 57, and was diagnosed with Peyronies Disease in 2024.  I started noticing upward curvature and discomfort in fall 2023, but it took nearly a year to get in to see a specialist.  There is a definite plaque that can be felt when flaccid and an indentation when erect.

We have been using a conservative approach, with 5mg tadalafil daily and verapamil applied topically twice daily since September 2024.  In March 2025 my dr. recommended RestoreX, but it took me several months to save up for it since insurance would not cover it.  I started the RestoreX about 4 weeks ago.

My relationships and psychological aspects are complicated.  :)  I am married but my wife does not like sex.  She has only seen my condition one time, and it did not interfere with having sex that time.  So while the appearance bothered me, I was hesitant to do anything about it, since it doesn't really matter physically.  But I have a friend who I do not have sex with yet who does enjoy looking at what I have.  She has been encouraging me to take care of it for my own sake.  

So here I am.

Hey Bud,

Can't help with recommendations to tape but I figured I'd point out that, at least as far as I am aware, there is no topical medication in existence that can penetrate he skin far enough to reach the plaque. If it makes you feel more productive mentally however, then by all means, carry on. I totally understand.

As for the RestoreX, how have you found the process of wrapping the glands each time? If its been a bit tedious, try instead wrapping the clamps themselves with the tape, instead of the head of the penis. Everyone is different of course but I found this method to be way easier and a big time saver.

All the best.
