Still getting swelling under the glans since I took a week off and made some changes.I’m using the ALternative Wrapping Method for the LG Hanger at 3.75 kgs. Under the glans when I’m done after 1 hour there is a swelling of skin, right where the blister and bleeding was before.
There’s not much I can do to stop this. I wrap the tape strips as according to the instructions in the manual, and even try to not pull the foreskin back fully over my glans, so there is some skin protecting that little ‘ridge’ under the glans where the swelling is and the weight doesn’t push down onto that part of the foreskin and glans.
I put some of the blue bandage tape on top of the other white taps for extra padding and softening so that the skin doesn’t get pressed too hard upon by the weight hanging down on it.
Really don’t know what else I can do to stop that skin swell though, I even had over 5 days off and some days don’t hang, and don’t hang twice a day right now.
If this continues I’ll have to just stick to hand stretching with heat. But right now I am very disappointed with how this LG Hanger is working out. I hate to write this after using it for so many months and reporting that it has failed.
Hey Jay - can you send us some photos or video of how you’re wrapping and using our system. I’m assuming you’re uncircumcised, which for some men presents some challenges developing a level of conditioning that allows them to hang heavier weight.
You’re using 3.75 Kg’s of weight which is 8.3 lbs. That’s a fair amount of weight and may I ask what weight did you start off with and what incremental weight increases did you use as you progressed to heavier weight and what was the time frame? I always caution men to not try and not hang with more weight than they have been properly conditioned for, or to exceed a hang time they’re not ready for.
It took me three full months of dedicated training to graduate from 3 lbs up to 8 lbs. Which was a slow, deliberate process.
Set backs with blisters complicate any progress that could be made and often it will set you back to square one. When I take time off (a week or more), I always resume my training with half the amount of weight and time. Think of getting a suntan…. let’s assume you have a nice tan, but then don’t expose yourself to sun for a couple weeks, then go back out and stay out for the same amount of time you were before you took time off. You’re gonna get burned because your skin is no longer conditioned for that amount of exposure. This might now be a perfect analogy but the same holds true for skin conditioning of your penis skin and exposure to vacuum pressure.
What I would highly suggest is for you to heal up. Then start back up with a lighter weight that you can hang with and have NO complications. Do that for a full week, then add more time, go up to a full hour, and if you can hang with that weight for an entire week with no complications, then you can add a pound or two. Hang with that weight for 30 minutes a session for a full week, and if there are no complications go up to a full hour. Keep repeating the pyramid process incrementally, this is how to develop skin conditioning that prevents blisters.
