TheraP wrap; dry, wrinkled skin. Thoughts

After reading a plethora of good reviews regarding the TheraP Wrist Wrap here on Thunder’s, I decided to give it a shot. My primary PE goal at this point is increased length and girth in a flaccid state, and the logic behind keeping the ligs/tissues in an elongated and somewhat expanded (the glans, anyway.) state for longer periods of time seems irrefutable. I have worn the wrap for several “sessions” of approximately three hours each, and applying it has become easier as I gain experience. The ultimate goal of wearing it as a mild ADS is not far off, and I feel very safe doing so after experimenting with tightness, tension, and the regular kegeling of fresh blood into the “top” or glans end of the penis.

But! Of course, it’s not that easy. I’m having a problem whereby the skin on my shaft where the wrap is applied has gotten rough, dry, and wrinkled. It’s a bit sore, but I’m working on applying the wrap in such a way that walking around, bending, etc won’t cause it to rub so much, and I think that the soreness won’t be a problem once I get the method right on that. But the dried skin has me a little worried. I’ve refrained from wearing the wrap for two days now, and have applied lotion liberally - skin seems to be returning back to normal.

I’m posting to see if any of the experienced TheraP guys here have had the same issue? If so, what did you do to solve this problem? Seems to me that one could apply some oil or lotion to the area before wrapping, but I would be concerned about poor traction. I read quite a few TheraP threads before buying the wrap (from eBay, and at quite a lower price than most stores if anyone’s interested.) but don’t recall seeing this covered. If it has been, I apologize and will be happy to delete the thread so as not to promote useless clutter. :)

Thanks Guys!

Are you wrapping both cock and balls, or just your shaft?

Avocet: Just the shaft at this point. I tried wrapping everything when I first got the wrap, and couldn’t make it comfortable. Would you think it’s worthwhile to practice and make it work wrapping everything?

Thanks for the quick reply, man. =)

Use an under wrap. Try something of sweat shirt material. That should work.

But if you still have problems, you could try some lotion under the under wrap, with no traction problems.

Why are you wearing the wrap so long? In my thinking you shoud take a break between sets, take time to Jelq between sets. If you still want to wear the wrap for long periods, find a material to put under the wrap, because the wrap is drying out your penis.

Anonymous; Thanks for the tip, especially on the more appropriate material to use as an under-wrap. I tried using part of a baby sock, but that didn’t help any. It appears that the cotton just continued wicking away my skin’s moisture, rather than stopping the wrap from doing so.

Cclark; I think I may have been a bit unclear - sorry for that. I’m not using the wrist wrap as a cock ring, really - more of an ADS sort of device. I try to get a firm, but not too constricting tension so that I can urinate, maintain blood flow, avoid bluing and coldness, etc. I apply the wrap, and go about my daily business of puttering around the house, tinkering with the car, reading the forums :) , etc.

I would like to eventually use it as somewhat of a clamping device, but will wait until I’m further along in my PE career for that. What I’d like to do after having more conditioning, is similar to what you’re suggesting. Jelq for x minutes, get fully erect and use the wrap to clamp it off for x minutes, return to jelqing, clamp with the wrap, jelq again, etc. As said though, I need to get my cock used to it’s exercises before trying that. =)

I’ll give it a couple more days for the skin to heal up, then try a sweatshirt type under-wrap with some lotion applied beneath. The eventual goal with this is to be able to put it on comfortably in the morning, and take it off at the end of the day for PE and then sleep. Honestly, I have forgotten that it was even there several times while doing housework or whatnot. It’s really quite comfortable. =)

Thanks for the input, guys!

Just wanted to throw out an update here, in case someone else has the same difficulty down the road and stumbles across this thread in a search.

After completely allowing the skin to heal, I gave the wrist wrap another shot.

Step one; removed the magnets. I found that they were hurting my skin by either rubbing or pinching. I have a pretty good amount of “extra PE skin” at this point, and my dick just didn’t like those magnets.

Step two; find a more suitable under wrap. I found a soft shirt (60/40 cotton/poly blend) that was no longer wearable, and cut out a strip from it to use under the wrist wrap. I actually went to the extent of coating the skin contact side with A+D ointment prior to wearing it the first time. I’ve found that the A+D stays in the cloth for some time, and have not felt the need to reapply until today. (A week later, approximately.) I will wash and dry the cloth, and reapply the A+D.

Step three; cock maintenance. I have found that applying a lotion called “Suave Advanced Therapy” each day after showering has helped immensely in keeping my skin healthy. Once a day, every day, I rub the ol’ basket down with this stuff my girlfriend uses and I’ve never had healthier skin down there! Feels great, really.

The only thing left to do now is devise a plan to keep the bulge from being huge at work.. Anywhere else, I don’t mind sporting a big package. The people at work I see 8-11hrs every day, though, and some of them are definitely bold enough to ask what’s up. ;)

Thanks again for the advice, gentlemen!
