Can a hanger grasp the internal shaft structures?

Toothbrushes seem a little too sharp! YOu preferably want a smooth “cup” to gather the tissue and gently cradle the shoulder.

I think of the area in front of the hanger as a sort of plug. The ULI Effect plays an important role in expanding the tissue enough to form the plug. It was always tough for me to hang after swimming because my glans would shrink. The hanger would tend to slip down. I think people who hang should consider using vasodilators, or even Cialis, to keep their flaccids heavy. It’s just much easier to form an adequate plug with a heavier flaccid.

A potential drawback to hanging with a heavier flaccid, however, is that it may cause the shaft to be more resistant to stretching. There’s also a tendency to develop too much pressure in the head.

I think that’s an interesting consideration for more experienced hangers. Some new hangers though have a hard enough time as it is trying to keep from getting a hard on. Newer guy takes a cialis and starts fiddling around down there and pretty soon he’s waiting 3 days for things to die down before he can start his workout. Too much head pressure is also a definate reality. Another thing most newbies don’t realize is you can have a little fuller CC’s and still keep the glans mostly empty, but that takes practice. I think for the average hanger a heavier flaccid isn’t necessary. What he has normally will work, as it has in the past, at least to start. :)

Point well taken.

Age is a factor as well. When I was 20 I couldn’t touch my dick without getting hard. Now, it’s a different story.

Bib used to talk about varying the tightness of his wrap to modulate head expansion. I find that this generally works pretty well, and often nothing else is required.

Coming back to the original question:

Vacuum hanging naturally grasps the internal structures.

2 year old question about Bib hangers ;)

A vacuum hanger grasps the glans and pulls all the internal structures along with it but the glans itself is external.

Any device will pull/grip externally. Ideally, 100% would be transmitted to internal structures. Vacuum hanging comes closest to the ideal however the maximum weight is somewhat limited.

I hate to revive an old thread, but I just thought others might need to read this. I recently started hanging and was having the same problem; the hanger only grapping directly behind the glands. Nothing I’ve read through in Hanging 101 or Bibs threads described this “blood shoulder”. After reading this I simply wrapped up, put the hanger into position, jelqed some blood in front of the hanger while compressing the head and now I’ve got a great shoulder a good inch or so above my head. I can totally feel the difference in sensation now that its not riding directly behind the glands, which is suppose to be very dangerous too by the way. This wasn’t described in the video or tutorial either. If you do like stated above you will create the shoulder when you do the pulse push.

Cheers, & Happy Hanging.

What if you use a regular hanger, longer than the bib, and clamp it around the sleeve. Then would you be able to add more weight to the vac hanger? It’s like the more weight you add to the vac hanger, the more it slips. I’ve tried it a couple of times, but didn’t do it long enough for results.

Sounds like you’re running to much toe in with the bib … neutral to a little toe out fixed all my slippage/ head pressure issues

The “shoulders” you speak of have nothing to do with skin or blood. The shoulders are internal and are what’s also referred to as the “sweet spot” where it comfortably stops moving forward. I also thought the shoulders were “formed” by the skin, but that’s not the case at all. In fact, if you’re relying on blood in your glans to form the shoulders, you will realize just how painful hanging will be when you increase weight.
