I thought i would make a little update about my usage of the VLC.
After the previous posts in this thread i changed to VAC hanging with the totalman. It worked ok, but unfortunately I got blisters a few times (every time when i changed to higher weights too fast) witch set me back a lot (i would have to take around 7 days of rest each time and start again with lower weight) but what’s worse is i started having these bulging veins on my glans that kinda scared me. (also i couldnt find any information about this, if i googled "veins on glans" or something similar all the posts where about how having a veiny shaft is OK, nothing about glans, not on this forum either)
So i though i would just go back to extending as that can be done with lower traction compared to hanging, but is still had the same problem.
Then i remembered that i have this VLC tugger, and started using that and i am very satisfied so far. If you have read this thread i have wrote about my experience with the tugger, and my main complaint was that after taking it off my glans looked pretty beat up, but that problem i solved with a few strips of micropore tape. The other issue is the slight discomfort in the foreskin where its pinched, but it really is only an issue in the first few minutes after that it fades.
Now what i like best about this is that its so easy to put on and take off. To put on a totalman i would first get an erection, tape the entirety of my glans, then roll a silicon cup, put it on, roll a silicon sleeve on the VAC cup, then put it on, pump out the air… this took me about 10-15 minutes each time, and while that doesnt seem that long, it can feel long. For hanging that was OK but for extending if you wanna do 6+ hours, you gonna want to take it off so you can use the restroom etc. With the VLC tugger i can tape while flaccid as the glans dont expand the same way as they do in the VAC cup, and I dont have to tape the entirety of my glans, 3-4 strips of tape are enough. After that putting on the VLC itself takes like 10 seconds.
I think this is huge. This means i can inspect my glans after each set, take everything off and check if i have any possible injuries like blisters in the making or go to the restroom whenever i want.
I really hope this will work out for me in the long term, i have only been using it for 2 weeks with up to 3 hours. Hopefully i will be able to achieve 6+ hours after a few weeks without any issues.
