Title: RestoreX - tape bunching up.
Post by: curvedcarnivore on February 11, 2024, 01:13:07 AM
Hey guys, just a quick question about tape use with RestoreX.

As I've noticed that sometimes the tape that I use to wrap my penis with can sometimes slide up and "bunch up" over the top of itself during traction. So, instead of a wide surface area of tape, it's much thinner.

I'd love to know if this is in danger of putting too much pressure on my penis or anything? Thanks all.

Wondering if you've tried the makeup pads instead of the tape? I never used the tape, went directly from using nothing to using the makeup pads. They work really well for me:

Hope this helps.

Thanks mate! I have the pads (well, the best version of those I could find in Australia) and my penis still slipped out, so I had to still use the damn tape unfortunately.

I've been using RestoreX for about 3 months (no improvement so far). I had the same issues with the tape slipping so switched to penimaster. Totally solved slippage issues and is far more comfortable around the glans. The trouble with penimaster is the ring is very small and it hinges so feels very unstable. It also cannot counterbend.

My solution was to combine the best of both worlds. I 3D printed an adapter which connects the penimaster cup to the RestoreX base. Now I can do straight, or counterbent traction for the full session without any slippage. I know most won't go this route, but I happened to have both devices on hand, so combining them just made sense for me.

Would you please post a photo of your creation on the traction area so other members can see what you have done. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Are you also using a makeup pad at the location where the penis bends over the fulcrum?

No, I only use the makeup pads within the clamp.

Thanks. Do you have pain with the counter bend stretch? Either way it hurts to get to 120 degrees, but it hurts a bit less with the pad.

I get pain using the device but it usually goes away after a few minutes. I more get pain randomly during the day.

I use a folded tissue below the clamp under my shaft, so that things slide smoothly without sticking. Just use the makeup pads on the clamp itself. Works well for me.

Thanks. However, I can't get those makeup pads in Australia :/
