Jman,
I’m glad you finally got it put together. ‘A’ for effort…….
I can’t say enough about the benefits of the Wench breaking in. When I use the term “breaking in” I’m mostly referring to the Velcro cylinder that is the main body of the device. Other parts, such as the Grippers and the CableClamp have very little room for wear - although I will say that I’ve noticed a small difference in how tight I am able to close one CableClamp to the next. There seems to be minute differences between my clamps even though they look identical to the eye. You might want to try a different clamp if you bought the package that has two mediums.
Back to the Velcro cylinder— This material breaks in beautifully after a few days of use. A groove will appear at its horizontal center as the clamp begins to flatten the raised “hooks” that it tightens against. Also, the Velcro as a whole becomes more flexible, or “floppy”. Not a enough to compromise its strength but enough to make easier the closing of the clamp to its tightest possible tooth. You might want to beat it up a bit— twist it and fold it for a while to expedite the breaking in.
A member here noted that he resolved the issue of more skin-stretch than internal stretch by finally getting the nerve to really close that clamp as tight as possible. I understand a persons hesitance to push things beyond what feels comfortable. But once you get over the fear and do it you’ll find that any pinch or discomfort you experience will quickly fade. Especially as your boy gets stretched with the tension of the weight you apply.
Also, be sure to wait a minute before tightening to the maximum. If you’ve gone as tight as you think possible but still see too much skin-stretch when you test pull the Wench, sit back for a minute and let your penis conform to the pressure, then give it another shot.
Take advantage of the ergonomic design of the clamp and tighten it accordingly. There is a nice place for your thumb to sit on one side of the clamp. Try to use it effectively. You’ll get more force into the motion of tightening.
There are plenty of other tricks to getting a maximum clamp squeeze - like being sure to use heat to loosen your internal tissue as much as possible - and maybe we’ll get into these things here. But for now, try some of these things and above all else have just a little patience - it gets easier as you get more familiar with the Wench.
Thanks J
