I tried traditional FR on several occasions but couldn’t make the commitment, and the ManHood and similar just looked like an expensive pain in the ass. Soooo I devised a mild DIY exfoliation and maintenance routine.
For the exfoliation / de-keratinize, I use a simple mix of equal parts baking soda (natural exfoliant) and olive oil (natural emmolient) - Neither are harsh nor toxic and both are readily available in the cupboard. I form a paste with the viscosity of, say.. Molasses. I rub the glans, coronal ridge, and the shaft’s skin down to the circ scar for a couple of minutes using moderate pressure. I simply rinse WITHOUT soap, pat dry and apply some good vitamin E skin lotion when done. During the first week I did this every other day, now once/week is quite sufficient. For convenience I usually do this right after my girth routine and right before I hit the shower.
For maintenance, I cut a large rectangle from an old silk necktie - long and wide enough to protect both the top and bottom of the entire shaft. This gets draped over with the softest side facing in (obvious). I slip a large O-ring over it to keep it in place. The necktie is comfortable and I haven’t lost it even once after I got the correct size o-ring. And - it’s a helluvalot easier to explain away than the “Manhood” should it slip off or be discovered.
For the first few weeks, I wore an unlubricated condom under it to keep everything moist. I still occasionally slip one on if I haven’t worn the silk the previous day/night but it’s easier to just keep a travel tube of moisturizer with me.. It all needs to breath anyway and moving the piece of tie out of the way is simple enough.
This all might sound like a ridiculously tedious regiment but the end result (for me at least) was/is totally worth it. I now possess a fantastically smooth, shiny glans that has brought compliments from several women. Everything is an attractive fresh-skin-pink color as opposed to the dry brown shade it had previously. Further, my head, frenulum, coronal ridge and upper shaft now have more sensitivity than I’ve ever experienced previously making fellatio worthwhile. And since instant gratification was the whole idea, I was pleased when results came nearly instantaneously (like, 3rd day).
Happy thanksgiving to all!
I just started the baking soda/ olive oil process. After my shower I just put on the your skin cone and then the manhood on top of that. Since sometimes I wake up and the your skin cone came off. The your skin cone manhood combo is perfect. Now to speed up this de-keratinization process. I’ll come back with any results.
