BIB: grabbing internal structure with pvc bib

BIB how likely is it that all the 4 months I’ve been hanging, I’ve only been stretching skin and not grabbing the internal structures? I’m using a pvc homemade hanger, I did initially notice quite a bit of extra skin. But I believe that stopped a while back, I mean if it was still just stretching skin I would know it right- or wrong. I would think there would be a very excessive amount of skin present.

I guess what I’m saying is, does the skin just keep stretching more and more. Or does it get to a limit, because I find it weird that the skin would stretch at about 5-7 lbs, but not at 10-11 lbs.

T-rex,

Well, it is certainly possible. The simple or modified Bibs use circular rather than lateral compression. Therefore, it is much more difficult to get a good grasp internally. In fact, mine usually came to rest on either side of the head, which is the good point of the modified with a V cut. Anyway, it is possible to keep moving the hanger back toward the base slightly and only stretch skin.

However, this is really easy to tell by feel. When hanging at any angle, just pull up the skin at or near the base and see how much tension is on it. If the skin is very tight, you are probably stretching a lot of skin. If loose, you are probably stretching the internals, either tunica or ligs or both depending on the angle.

I dunno. The skin has very elastic qualities.

When using a homemade hanger, even if it slides on the internal structure of the unit. Is it not a fact that when it gets to the glans it will go no further ( I know-not good to put pressure on the glans), thus pulling on the internal structure. My homebrew feels like it is pulling skin and it (skin) is indeed stretching at the base, but if you feel in that area-you will feel the internal tissue is tight and being stretched. I have pondered this idea before, and made these assumptions on my own experience with my homebrew. I have increased skin overall, kinda funny as I’m cut and my unit now looks as if the Dr. didn’t complete the job. I mean when I’m completely relaxed, it’s not as visible, but when I get a little turtle effect-it (the extra skin) is really apparent.

Hope this help’s. My .02

Hey Bib I never did reply to the end of your post. When I would hang btc, and pull up on the skin at the base it was very tight, not loose at all. So I assume that I was just stretching skin, by your description of it. Also the skin was like that every single time. So does this mean what I think and hope it does(now that I have a starter) that I wasn’t grasping the internal structures?

T-rex,

That’s what it sounds like. How is the skin now while hanging?

still tight.
