Vertical-
Thanks for sharing that with us. “Further” ideas is what this is all about!
If you can find the time, go back and re-read the description of how the Wench creates a “bridge” over the dorsal nerves at the top of the shaft. Also, note that this bridge and its counterpart on the opposite side provide for circulation to the glans when hanging or stretching with any decent amount of weight.
I am genuinely concerned that anyone reading this will make the mistake of thinking the grippers-rectangles are unnecessary. The gripper-rectangles (whether the Waxman product or another) are an essential part of the design not only for the above stated reasons but also because they provide a powerful lateral hold on the internal penis that is ENHANCED by the cable clamp. I emphasise the word enhanced because it is the grippers that are holding the internal penis —- and this would not be the case, as you suggest, with ONLY a clamp.
I assure you and anyone else interested, the combination of the rectangles and the clamp create a very powerful and very NECESSARY hold on the penis.
Verticle, your interest in “comfort” is shared by everyone who has ever tried using a hanger. But the challenge has always been balancing comfort with effect. If you, Vertical, have been hanging for any amount of time you know this. Comfort and effect act like oil and water in the realm of hanging. A consistently comfortable and effective hanging device is the Holy Grail to a hanger.
If you have not tried the foam-pipe hanger that you brought to our attention I suggest you do. If you have, then I suggest you try the Wench. Then share your thoughts on any difference you notice.
I for one have tried both so let me share what I learned:
The foam hanger has as it’s weakest feature a slippage problem. A consistent slippage problem that despite my trying numerous wrap materials could not be remedied. This in and of itself would be enough to disqualify the foam hanger but to make matters worse I almost always received more “skin stretch” with this hanger than anything else. This was due to the fact that the hanger simply couldn’t get a firm enough grab on the internal penis. And when I did get a firm enough grip it only came with a strangulation of the glans because of the total circumferential hold of the penis that this design allows. Even using the more elliptical shape of a CableClamp brand clamp you will be impacting these nerves and cutting off all blood flow to the glans. It is not advisable. A strangulation of the penis and any amount of weight is a recipe for injury.
None of these issues exist with the Wench.
Admittedly, the foam hanger was easy to make. Tom Hubbard, the man responsible for it (that for all who haven’t done their homework), makes as his mission simplicity. His site is brilliant and loaded with simple ideas we can use in PE. That was one of the main inspirations for this idea. I followed that very line of thinking: This should be easy. The foam hanger is easy to make and it’s relatively easy to use.
The Wench is even easier to make. And it’s easier to use.
It is also, I believe, the most affordable way to marry those two elusive necessities of successful hanging (and in the Wenchs’ case manual stretching): Comfort and Effectiveness.
But this - all of this - is merely academic unless you try it. Try them all and let us know.
Thanks ….Vertical
