A couple questions for senior hangers

First off, today I was hanging my last set while reading and when I went to check my glans it was completely numb. That was the first time I went totally numb, and it scared the shit out of me. The feeling came back in a minute, thank god, but I don’t want that to happen again. How do I prevent that? My hanger is pretty tight, but it allows some circulation. I’m afraid if I loosen the hanger it will slip and cause an unsightly accident.

Second— Lately, after my last set, I’ve noticed some swelling of the skin over my circ scar. At first it was a few little bumps, but it is gradually getting larger after each session. It now becomes a little patch about the size of the tip of a pinkie finger. I think what happens is when the hanger comes forward under weight, it bunches up my skin and fluid starts to build pressure in the folds (of skin). For some reason it gets trapped there. Anybody have this problem? I just want to know if that is dangerous, and how to avoid it in the future.

Thanks. mysticoud.

It is most likely the wrao that is too tight. Most circulation problems are caused by tight wrap. Remember that however tight the wrap is when it is on, it will get tighter after attaching the hanger. How long was your set for?

Are you using the Bib? It can be pretty tight and still allow circulation, so this is fine.

I’ll leave your other question to a cut hanger.

Good Luck
