BLISTERS on head using ESL40 Stretcher

I’ve been using the ESL40 Stretcher placed on my head on and off since December, having to stop because after some use it gives me red blisters and white ‘spots’ on the head of my shaft under the foreskin. Some days when I did use it I would do some penis exercises too, involving heating, stretching and jelqing for 20 minutes each consecutively after each other.

I started using this stretcher again 2 days this week after over a month’s break. Maybe around 5 hours 1st day, 2 hours at the most the 2nd day. Today I did my PE session again.

In the shower I saw that the red dots on my head had come back.

Not sure what to do in using this device, and also doing PE, if it is just going to keep giving me this blemishes so quickly and easily. Can anyone advise what to do? Anyone had the same problems? Should I just ditch this device and use a different and maybe more intense stretcher? I’m not too fond of it fitting on my head like it does and it doesn’t give a hard stretch, I wonder if there may be some other stretcher that is less ‘harmful’ to my penis I can use. Any help?

I use esl40 18hours per 24hrs. If I roll it tight enough so there is no air pocket I don’t get any problems.

I wondered if it may be the air pocket. I press the tip of my penis right up against the silicone of the cap, or least I try my best to. I pull the fold of the cap down so it covers just below the head bulb.

Is there any special or specific way you roll the cap over your head?

Yes roll it up according to instructions but unroll it at the coronal ridge with esl40 tilted around 45degrees around the x axis or towards your belly button. There is a technique you must learn and there is some initial folding of the glans rims and some transient discomfort but this is the way to get no air pocket.

Be sure to remove it every 30mins before tou got the technique down so you dont fold the glans over itself and stop circulation.

You mean place the ESL40 at the glans tip, then tilt the tube slightly upwards (at 45 degrees)?

No place the rim of the rolled up esl 40 at the coronal ridge on the dorsal side and the glans tip just within the edge of the rolled up esl 40 on the other side. If you glans is longer than this compress your glans by putting the tip ”within reach” of the esl 40 so you can unroll it over the tip on the ventral glans side and over the coronal ridge on the dorsal side.

You will ens up with esl 40 covering the coronal ridge on dorsal side and not covering the whole glans on the underside on the first unfolding. Second unfolding will unfold just over underside of glans and up over the shaft skin on upper side.

Yeah I follow what you mean. It’s similar (or the same) to what I’m doing. I angle the rolled up tube so that it covers more of the dorsal side of the glans. What I do is pull my foreskin down a bit so that none of the skin is under the fully rolled out tube on the dorsal side, and that the skin on the underside is pulled down as much as I can, getting my fingertips inside the edges to pull the foreskin down inside it. I try to pull what skin I can down on the sides of the penis too.

It’s pretty much what you advise, give or take. Still getting those blisters which seems to be from air inside. I’ll try to fine tune it to what you say, such as not pulling the foreskin down so much on the dorsal side, see how it goes.

I wonder if I should clean my ESL40 more, like everyday or something else to limit the air getting inside, to stop the blisters.

Well in that case maybe you have an air leak, what size are you using? Im using standard size second smallest.

I’m using the largest size there is, as I have a wide girth. I doubt I have a leak because of the condition of the tube itself, maybe there is air in there because of the seal agains the skin due to my positioning of it.

I think this is a tight enough fit, it feels that way anyway. But the tube comes off easily if the cord is pulled a bit more tight, and I feel the tension more, and I walk around. Not sure if that means it’s too loose.

That doesnt sound good I cam pull with at least 10lbs without it coming off probably more if the skin is dry.

How do you measure pulling 10lbs? Never quite got the weight part of the instructions.

Previously, I was getting skin rubbing off of my glans …

Now, before stretching I apply Arnicare gel … let it air dry … then I stretch for 10 hours … then after I treat with hydrocortisone … I haven’t had any issues since.

I clean the cup daily

Heh thanks for that information man. I’ll look these treatments up, see about using them. How does the gel and hydrocortisone stop the skin problems for you?

Scary announcement - I STILL have those red mark spots on my penis head after all this time. Seriously, this shit shoulda gone down by now. What the heck is going on here? Does anyone else know of this problem?

Did it resolve?

Could it be a fungal infection? (itches, burns)
If so try cloratrimazole cream. It is the same that women use for yeast infection.

If that doesn’t resolve your issue within 7 days, then see an urologist.
If it fixes your issue, then go ahead and sterilize the equipment piece, or get a new one.
