Title: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: Mikel7 on November 18, 2021, 03:09:43 PM
Below is a picture of the Mod for the Restorex that I tried from a posting that Dr Trost spoke on.  It is basically a makeup pad with a strap on the bottom.  He stated , "You can basically attach them to the clamp using the attached strap, and then you don't even need to wrap the penis.  They are a game changer for the device with comfort, and I'm hoping that the company will include something like that in future kits ."
 
  I went ahead and ordered a pack of them and all I can say is WOW!  I tried it with one on the top and bottom and I had no slippage at all!  I also didn't even need a wrap!  You can buy them on Amazon -->https://www.amazon.com/BEAKEY-Blending-Available-Products-Non-Latex/dp/B07G4S2YDP .

For additional gripping action you can dampen the pads with water before use.

                                     A big thank you Dr Trost for posting this info!!

If this works, it could be a game changer.  I wrap a lot, and it can be painful sometimes to unwrap.  I will certainly try this out.

This was a very good post. Like others said, thank you for the pictures. The fact that you don't need to wrap your penis is a game changer definitely!

Thank you for this - defs a gam changer.

I use to use the sponge technique but my penis kept slipping out of the clasp. Does this happen with the sponge at all? Or any advice?

I bought the make-up sponges from Priceline a cheap chain store in Australia selling women's health and makeup gear.
Costs $8.95 they are excellent  and no slippage on stretch or the more prone to slippage full 120° bend.
Good luck guys to those that persevere with RestoreX.

Can someone please explain the strap? i.e how are they taping it to the clamp - double sided tape?

The ones in the top post have straps on the back that slide over the RestoreX device parts.

Thank you for this posting! it's a huge game changer for me as I was suffering from constant irritation using the self-adhesive tape, and was considering stopping with Restorex completely. I just ordered some pads and I'm looking forward to trying them out.

One question - are they good for more than one usage?

Henry1953:

Hello! Good on you. I personally think that restorex is the way to go. Yes, you can use them more than once and it comes with a lot of them. I am loving the difference it makes.

Good luck. I invite you to make a post about them and the renewed experience as soon as you try them out!

The make up pads indicated in the link if shipped to Italy cost three times more (about 30 $).

Here is an alternative for less than € 10:
https://www.amazon.it/Kissral-Cuscino-Polvere-Fondotinta-Lattice/dp/B088JW65WQ/ref=sr_1_56?__mk_it_IT=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=T4U9J9UTWK5U&keywords=beakey&qid=1645814675&s=beauty&sprefix=beakey%2Cbeauty%2C87&sr=1-56&th=1

I didn't buy the American ones and can't make a direct comparison, but from the description they look very similar. To the test they are actually absolutely better than the supplied self-adherent wrap which for me is practically unbearable, in particular for the abrasive effect on the skin.

Gennaro: Thank you for sharing this with us! At first sight they seem exactly the same. If it helps guys out there, that is great.

also.. may i ask you how did you get your hands, or penis? in a restorex device in italy? Which service did you use?
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: tsp on March 30, 2022, 05:18:40 PM
I tried washing the pads and reusinng them, but they become thin and uncomfortable after 2 washes. I was also able to use the strapless pads that come in the bag after securing them with double sided tape. They were just as comfortable as the strapped pads.

I use them with double sided tape - works fine. Should be able to comfortably click down to 3-4 clicks on the clamp.
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: MauleFlyer on April 21, 2022, 09:43:43 PM
Great catch, Mike!

Picked up a set of pads from your Amazon link.  Been using for several days and found them far superior to self stick tape which also self sticks to my penis.

Only issue is reduced space for clamping but very small issue.  If edge of glans is located at ridge in the clamp base, I have seen no slippage.
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: Henry1953 on May 21, 2022, 02:43:08 PM
After a month of medication to clear my genital warts that popped up after a several weeks of Restorex, I restarted and so far no warts, growths, or red skin irritation. I went back to using the adhesive tape simply because I had so much trouble without tape trying to place my penis properly, with the glans above the the clamp's ridge. I'm using less tape, maybe 1.5-2 wraparounds, and wrapping much more lightly than I was before. It's allowing me to place the head easily without slippage, even when doing the curvature at level 3 (which is my max at this time). As long as I slowly peel off the tape there's very little friction or pull on my skin. I do wish there were a tape that was soft on both sides with a sticky tab to keep it together. Maybe I'll try that with a soft bandage and a regular bandaid holding it together, just in case it starts irritating me again.
Also, I have noticed a 1/2" increase in length during full erection. I almost cried.
Patience is more than a virtue, it's the only way to get through this. Good luck one and all.
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: jj21 on May 22, 2022, 09:19:08 AM
Good to hear Henry!

I'm finding slippage now when using the extension rods with makeup pads. Thinking of other options as well but the tape is just too uncomfortable.

Happy you have seen results!! How long have you been using Restorex?
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: Henry1953 on May 22, 2022, 02:38:58 PM
I had used Restorex for 4 weeks when I noticed a small wart on the underside near the glans. My urologist prescribed Imiquimod cream which I used for a month and the wart disappeared without any irritating side effects. If the wart reappears then he'll remove it in office. Would really like to avoid that. I want to get through the recommended 3 months of Restorex and then assess the situation. If I'm not happy with the results I'll probably avoid plication and go straight to the incision surgery. Doing research on that now. I'm not overly concerned about the almost 2" of length I've lost, but I really do want to get rid of the curvature, which veers to the left at 30-35 percent. Even though I can attain a 90% erection at this time, I'm dealing the prospect that my sex life most probably will never be the same, which at times can be very depressing. Thankfully this forum is a lifesaver, figuratively speaking, for me. Thank you for your input, there is much comfort in knowing that I'm not alone with this problem, which is a medical condition I'd never even heard of until 18 months ago. That said, my heart especially goes out to the younger men who are dealing with this. It's difficult to live with this, but because of this forum I feel there is some hope of resolving it.
Regarding a substitute for the tape, I'm checking out various other tape-related products that might make it easier to a consistently strong and painless grip. I'll of course post anything I find that might work.

For anyone interested - I found those rectangular makeup pads to be clamping my head in an awkward and tight position which started to give me pain in both the glans and shaft (perhaps the penis was being stretched on a slight angle?).

I changed the mod to circular makeup pads with sports tape that tapes directly onto  the pad, this seems to be much more comfortable and gives a better stretch.  See pic.

I just got the pads from that link.  Much appreciated.  I JUST ordered the RestoreX too.  I've had Peyronie's for I would estimate about 8 or 9 months.  I'm hoping it's not too late to get started.  I've been doing hand stretching and taking the recommended supplements plus pentox and a quarter viagra per day.  I'm at about 60 degrees.  Makes it hard to get in.

Bmarc - definitely not too late! Lot of people here had peyronies for years, some were able to cure themselves with traction and VED even after all those years - have a read through the forums.

Best of luck,

Great find! Just slip the pads on, adjust the clamp height, and bob's your uncle...instant comfort. Or at least as close to comfort as it gets :-). Like those pads were made for the job.

Thanks so much for posting this!

I got a set of makeup pads delivered and wow, what a difference. RestoreX traction alone ain't no peach and the tape was at best uncomfortable. The pads make "yoga" much more tolerable.

I agree, have been using the pads for 3 weeks now after finishing a Verapamil treatment. Such a difference compared to my previous regime with tissue and gauss. Way less skin irritation too.

A game changer, nothing less.

These Men Extender Foam Pads for Foam Tube Stretch Extension Memory Foam on Amazon are way better than the makeup pads. Just slip it over your penis, clamp and 30 minutes with ease.  I use these every single day. No issues at all perfect for the RestoreX.  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FNDQKDB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A27AZ1V7WD4LWG&psc=1 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FNDQKDB/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_1?smid=A27AZ1V7WD4LWG&psc=1)(//)

I tried these, and they are not suitable uncircumcised men. If you are circumcised, avoiding the foreskin is a big part of clamping. With these cylindrical foam pieces, you can't see your foreskin and have to clamp blind.

The washable memory foam is nice, though. Should be great for circumcised men. If anyone wants the 4 unused pieces, contact me and I'll mail them to you.

I see what you mean about it being more difficult for uncircumcised men. That said, I am not circumsised and using the sponges work great for me. It is a bit tricky to pull back the foreskin with the sponges blocking the view, but I got the hang of it after a while. It is tricky but way more comfortable and leads to less skin irritation than my previous wrapping approach, but that is just me.

That is simply not true. Check my traction diary before you part ways with your gear: https://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,17356.msg150174.html#msg150174

Works perfect for me, and i have no shortage of skin on my glans.

I agree the foam cylinders are way more comfortable than wrapping, but makeup pads are nicer still. You don't need to wrap and can see what you are doing.

Post by: jb2222 on March 03, 2023, 07:43:11 PM
When I tried makeup pads, it was certainly more comfortable than the wrap; however, the stretch felt different somehow.  A bit hard to explain, but with the wrap it feels like a more focused stretch from where the ridge is on the clamp and along the top and bottom of the penis (and the top is where the scar tissue is). With the pads it feels like the stretch is more "spread out," less focused somehow. 

My concern is whether or not the RestoreX will be as efficient with the pads as with the wraps (I would hate to spend 3-6 months doing it wrong and get less results).  On the other hand, the wrap is a challenge and more comfort would be great. 

Thoughts?

I just joined the forum and this is my first post. So glad to have found this community.
Finally purchased Restorex after considering it for a while and consulting a doctor about it, and started using it 4 days ago. Found the clamp very uncomfortable, even with wrapping. Found this topic yesterday and went straight out to buy some makeup pads. They are indeed a game changer! It's actually comfortable now.

Just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Trost and Mikel7 for sharing this super helpful Restorex mod.

I ordered the make up pads, and they do almost work great but even with the hinge side of the clamp in the wider position, I can't seem to close it on my glans without pain;  it's hard to lock and the clamping pressure hurts. 

I might try the foam too,  but curious as to whether anyone has found similar but thinner pads?
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: RexRG on April 29, 2023, 01:56:39 PM
Hey, Dent. 

Your condition sounds a lot like mine. We might have slightly large glans which makes it difficult to clamp. Remember not to clamp the shaft at all. What I do is position slightly right rather than center and only press to one click. Then I ratchet up a couple clicks until the stretch feels tight. After a moment or two I usually can get a second click on the clamp - only one click on the clamp will often cause slippage.

I use a USB warming wrap afterwards for the coldness. Sometimes starting with that first.
Title: Re: Restorex Mods - Make up pads for super comfortable usage
Post by: Dent-n-curve on April 30, 2023, 08:52:09 PM
Thanks, Rex!

Yeah, I don't know that my glans is anything more than "regular size", but it's still a challenge.

I guess you could say this apparatus is a pain in the dick overall, lol. Tough to get it clamped comfortably and then just when it seems securely "in there", I can't really get into *any* amount of counterbend without it eventually slipping out. The pads seem like a "last hope" in some ways, but man.

Hey Dent.  I had to try a couple different types of makeup pad before I found one with enough grip/friction to hold and not slip out.  The brand is called Quo, but it's Canadian, available at Shopper's Drug Mart here, so unfortunately it's probably not available in the US.  But hopefully you can find a good option where you are.  Best of luck to you.

I did not realize this post was from 2021. I just saw it today for the first time and immediately ordered the makeup pads. I also have gotten a second base for the Restorex, so I use one for down counterbending, and the other for left counterbending. Cost me $25 for an additional base. That way I don't need to swap out the rods each time. Although I do need a second set of short rods, because with the long rods I can only get to 90 degree counterbend comfortably. After stretching for a while I can get it to 120, but I would prefer to be at 120 the whole time.

But i suspect that any perfume and make up store has them. Maybe try your local pharmacy or equivalent? Good luck!

Not sure how to reach out to other members yet, however, I'm guessing this mod is just "makeup pads with an elastic attachment on the back"? Maybe I have a look at a few chemists locally, too.

Go into any drug store and look in their makeup department. I am sure you will find some sort of sponge applicators that are flat that you could try. They are probably only a couple of dollars so little wasted if they don't work.

I don't think they will because the description says puffs from polyester. It looks like it is not a sponge material but rather something like a fluffy applicator. This would not grip things like a sponge would.

When I was using restorex, I purchased the 3 pack cream coloured makeup pads from Chemist Warehouse (QLD). They worked well, there is a pic somewhere in my journal on the traction forum. They didn't have a strap, so, I use to tape it by folding some sticky tape and sticking it to the device.

Worked for me, and I did actually see some length gains.

Nah that wasn't it. I can't see them on their online store anymore, next time I am in Chemist Warehouse, I will check and take a pic for you.

Restorex didn't do much for dents for me, I found VED was  better for dents and/or hourglassing.

All the best,

Thanks mate, it would be fantastic if you could find them for me.

And I'll have to look into VED next. But currently super overwhelmed trying to figure out the damn RestoreX. It's giving me a LOAD of anxiety – especially thinking I'm making my Peyronies Disease worse by using it incorrectly.

I went through the same anxieties that you have about RestoreX. I even started a thread declaring that I was taking a break from RestoreX a few months back. I'd assumed I transitioned from the acute phase into the chronic phase after 8 months of having Peyronies Disease because my initial urologist said it would transition after 6 months. But new plaque showed up and scared me away from RestoreX. I now believe the acute phase(s) is insufficiency understood and not predictable. I went back to a 30-minute morning routine a few weeks later and have had great success with my length and curvature using RestoreX. If my penis slips out once or twice it's no biggie - I might abort after the third time though from the annoyance. The only anxiety remaining is getting that second click of the clamp. Always makes me wince.

I totally know what you're talking about re clicking the clamp another notch. It feels so unnatural to be squashing your penis like that in the mission to improve it. It often appears I'm torturing myself! How did you know more plaque formed? Can you feel it? More bending? Something else?

Mostly by feel, but also the deformity changed. Initially I had one lump in 8/22 and two lumps a month later. They weren't large but definite. 

By 3/23 there was a change in the first lump, it got longer and almost serrated. A while later the other circular lump got larger and I saw more of a dent and curve upward (both are dorsal) and more narrowing. 

But I kept up with the RestoreX routine and I think it's finally in a better place. Less curve and more length. The narrowing is still a problem and I'll make a decision next month whether or not to go with Xiaflex as a treatment.

Quote from: Mikel7 on November 18, 2021, 03:09:43 PMBelow is a picture of the Mod for the Restorex that I tried from a posting that Dr Trost spoke on.  It is basically a makeup pad with a strap on the bottom.  He stated , "You can basically attach them to the clamp using the attached strap, and then you don't even need to wrap the penis.  They are a game changer for the device with comfort, and I'm hoping that the company will include something like that in future kits ."
 
  I went ahead and ordered a pack of them and all I can say is WOW!  I tried it with one on the top and bottom and I had no slippage at all!  I also didn't even need a wrap!  You can buy them on Amazon -->https://www.amazon.com/BEAKEY-Blending-Available-Products-Non-Latex/dp/B07G4S2YDP .

For additional gripping action you can dampen the pads with water before use.

                                     A big thank you Dr Trost for posting this info!!

These really are a game changer. Thanks for the info.

Absolute game changer..

I saw and tried this about a year and an half ago I think? Times flies, who knows.. This one simple trick allowed me to continue with the traction therapy when I was ready to quit and because of it I have seen a small improvement.

All I can say is thank you for coming to this forum and sharing what you've done to make your life a little easier through this process so that the rest of us can benefit from it.

Just wanted to say thanks for the make up pad recommendation. Works like a charm and such an improvement in comfort! I had been experimenting with various types of sponges found around the house. I would cut them to size and hollow them out. It worked, but it was difficult to manipulate the two extra moveable pieces. Also, the comfort was not great at all.

I made a mod that for me works even better.
I use the succion cup from PMP and clip it to the restorex. For me the succion cup stay in place and remove all the pain to try clamping sideway. To make sure it is well in place I do a double pump on the PMP succion cup.I would post a photo of it but I can't find how to had a photo.
