Best way of hanging, some ideas

Combined PE weights and wrist wrap: great advantage: you get the pull even when sitting.

Modesto - I don’t like the idea with the self-sticking stuff - look at your dick - if it’s wrinkled it doesn’t look nice. With the way I wrap my dick always comes out red and warm, no circulation problems, never experienced numbness. Also, with my technique I have no skin pull AT ALL.

Time of wrapping goes down with experience - it now takes me only a minute or two.

The puckering effect is a result of the wrap being too loose.

But: congratulations for 2 hours at 15 pounds. My dick is not yet sufficiently conditioned for that (no breaks in between?)

What I like about the self-sticking stuff is that it doesn’t stick to my skin. Only the sticky tape does, and that only touches my skin on the shaft.

My glans always comes out looking fine, as well. The tightness from the wrap was really concentrated on the dorsal surface of my shaft just below my glans. Coincidentally, this is also the only place on the shaft where the skin is solidly fixed to the underlying structures. It seems to be squeezing in just the right place.

I can’t say that I actually went numb. I couldn’t tell. All I’m saying is that there appears to be some compression, so one shouldn’t assume it isn’t there just because one is using a vacuum hanger.

Another change I’ve recently made is to switch to an even smaller glans cap. It might actually be too small. I think the large may have been more comfortable than the medium, even though my wrapped glans fits into both. Clearly, I need to do more experiementing!

Is it necessary to wrap the glans to use the vacuum hanger?

No. Just for weights above 10# or so.

OK, so below 10lbs the Vacuum hanger is not a problem that requires a wrap? What happens that needs a wrap after 10lbs? What happens to the penis then?

Also, Modesto, I think I saw a thread were you were talking about hanging with a Bib. Do you have both a Bib and a Vac hanger? If so, how would you compare and contrast them?

Above 10# or so, the pressure on the skin gets very high. This causes fever blisters in many people. Using a proper wrap applies counterpressure (which opposes the vacuum) and limits the pressure applied to the skin.

Yes, I have both. I’ve also hung with a Wench and a Wechette.

Until recently, I’ve thought that vacuum hangers were only effective up to 10# or so. I’ve liked them but thought they would not be effective for me (I seem to require heavier weights to see any gains). The Wench can easily handle 15#, and the Bib can handle 40# or more.

Now that I’ve had some success hanging 15+# with a vacuum hanger, I have to say I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever use my Bib or Wench/Wenchette again. I need more time to see how the vacuum hanger works out. I’m not sure how long the silicone sleeves will last when hanging heavier weights, for instance. I’m also not sure the wrap will get me to the weights I need. Time will tell.

My sense is that the vacuum hanger, even when used at heavy weights with a wrap, is a whole lot easier on the penis than either the Bib or the Wench/Wenchette. Those hangers work on the principle of compression—they squeeze the penis and form a region of compressed tissue, which they then butt up against. This compression can cause some trauma. Many people experience bruising or discoloration with heavier weights. Also, since the hangers attach near the mid-point of the penis, where the skin slides easily over the shaft, they tend to stretch the skin quite a bit. All that skin stretching can be uncomfortable, or downright painful.

The fact that those hangers use compression means that circulation is impaired and nerves may be squeezed. Therefore, sets need to be limited to 20 minutes or so. There have been many times when I’ve come out of a compression-style hanger numb. The resultant, regular on and off of the hanger is time consuming and distracting if you’re trying to multi-task.

Vacuum hangers work on a different principle. Instead of using compression, applied near the middle of the shaft, they use suction concentrated on the glans and most distal parts of the shaft. Since the glans is directly attached to the penis’ erectile bodies (via the distal ligament), the coupling of vacuum force to the internal structures is more direct than it is with compression hangers. There is little or no skin stretch, and there is no squeezing of the penis. The lack of squeezing (possibly compromised when using a wrap—see above) keeps pressure off blood vessels and nerves, and keeps circulation and sensation at normal levels. Vacuum hangers can thus generally be worn for very long periods of time.

Other than that, compression hangers—especially the Bib—require a lot of adjustments (top gap, bottom gap, tow in, tow out). Lots of guys find these to be confusing, and some never seem to be able to get comfortable in their hangers. In contrast, vacuum hangers are simple. Again, things may be more complicated when a wrap is used, but in their basic configuration, there’s nothing to adjust. You just put the hanger on and attach the weight.

Wow!

Thanks, Modesto. That pretty much seems like an enthusiastic vote for the Vacuum hangers.

As you point out, I suppose a guy could have both types of hangers if he gets to the point that he needs heavier weight.

One other thing, I see that the Bib has a flat bottom. Meaning that once your in, you would stay in that position, like using that hanger on a chair for SO for example. But with a Vacu hanger, it seems that a guy might have a tendency to roll (I point to the right, so I think that would be the tendency with me), is that preventable?

Is it possible for anyone to post pictures of what the product looks like, and pictures of how to wrap the penis it would be a big help since I can’t do anything more then 5 pounds right now due to blisters.

You could always rig something up to keep your dick straight. I find that wrapping a rice sock part way around my dick helps to keep it aligned.

Great stuff guys - thanks. I’ve been trying to figure out a technique to use the vacuum hanger above 10 lbs - this seems to be start of a great approach.

What vacum hanger do you use? I am uncut and would like to try one. ticktickticker do you know how mutch you gained when starting to use the vac hanger?

Jaag - I use the max vac, see http://www.myne wsize.com/forum … pic.php?t=1016g . However, I don’t use the silicon sheet but a wrap as described in this thread. I am not measuring often, every six months or so because I don’t care about 1/8th of an inch or so. I feel a good pull on the internal structures of my dick and I am sure it will work out fine. Lengthwise, I’m just going for another inch or so and I am sure I will get there. I am getting much deeper in my gf’s pussy and she orgasms like hell when I go deep.

Good luck kayaker, you’re on the right way *s*.

Modesto - regarding size: I am trying to wrap in such a way that my dick fits very tightly in the tube and that is clearly what works best for me. Regarding the sticky tape: personally I prefer the technique which allows my dick to look and feel almost identical before and after a session. The only thing I have no clue yet is the slight puffiness (edema) on the underside of my gland. However, this can be removed with just a bit of jelqing (2 minutes or so).
