When I started using the Penimaster, like most users I had a problem with fixing the bands.
I tried using the tape but found that the skin was always getting hooked up.
This seemed to be the case for two reasons.
The bands are very tight and a lot of pressure is needed to get them through the slot, which made catching the skin more likely. This in addition to fiddling with the strap holding the penimaster and trying to get everything fixed almost cause a ‘give up’ solution.
However I solved the problems. First the difficulty of getting the rubber bands in.
Wet them!
Not too much, just lick your finger and run it down the serrations and they will slip in easily without coming out again, which they will do if you use too much liquid.
Also pull the bands down with a sideways motion - both ways so that part of the serration moves down and then pull the other side down. Tha eases the tension,which means they will last longer. The same applies for removing them just wet the serrations on the outer side to enable them to slip through more easily.
The other problem with pinching the skin,
I always put one end of the band in the slot down on one serration. then (I’m right handed) Hold the head with a couple of (RH) fingers and thumb as high as possible - upwards, that is away from the cradle with the band in position over the penis, then place the other end of the band in the serration and pull down whilst holding your unit as high and as forward as possible. Then change hands. holding the head with the fingers and thumb of the other hand and pull down the remaining side into the slot,
The other point to remember is to pull the band - the bit that curves towards you- as far down towards your pelvis as possible. This should be done when the penis is fixed, but not firmly, in the cradle This keeps the head up and helps prevent it from being crushed. Of course you have to hold the penis head forward whilst pulling the band backwards Then tighten the bands and adjust the spring tension.
The head tends to look a bit sorry for itself but usually it fills up with blood soon after.
I’m uncut but always have the F/s pulled back.
Pulling the bands uot is also eassier if you again lick your finger and wet the serrations. Then all you need is a gentle pull to release them
