cold head

I have just started hanging and am trying to iron out the wrinkles, my glans gets cold when I put my hanger on, it is a copy of bibs, I have checked the wrap, I can still pee with it on, am I tightening the hanger to much? Any thoughts? I have released the hanger as soon as the glans get cold, I can feel a rush of blood through the shaft, so for now my hang sessions are very short.

big burb,

Believe it or not, I think you’re not tightening enough. You have to really crank down to ensure the hanger is gripping the internal elements (tissues) of your penis hard enough in order to apply the stress to your ligs. By not tightening down enough you are only pulling on the skin, which is not what enlarges your penis. You need to get at those ligs.

Another result of not tightening down enough is the cold head syndrome that you’re currently experiencing. By not gripping the internal tissues with adequate strength, the hanger has no choice but to rest on your glans (dick head). This is bad because it cuts off circulation - and again - only results in skin stretch. I know it seems counter-intuitive to crank down more than you already are, but give it a try, it worked for me and I’m sure it will for you.

One other thing to consider - in case you haven’t already - is the pressure that your homemade bib hanger is putting on your dorsal nerve located on the top of your dick, right behind the glans. Too much pressure can damage that nerve and result in numbness. That’s the primary reason I stopped using my homemade bib hanger. I opted instead for a lateral compression hanger that gripped my dick on the sides only. Check out the Captn’s Wench (the one I use) or the CCH3 as solutions to this problem.

Stevie31,

Thanks for you altruism, man.

I just tightened down.

And made a wench parts list.

No problem whata1, I’m more than happy to help. Good luck on building that Wench, I’m sure you’re going to love it. Just remember that it is customizable, so if the grippers aren’t positioned exactly correct for your particular flaccid size, don’t be afraid to move them. I had to adjust mine ever so slightly in order to get them exactly right.

Hey thanks for the input, thats whats so great about this site is the help thats out there, with people that have been there and done that it sure helps cut the risk of injury.After reading your answers I retightened but this made it worse, I then revised my hanger ( it is the kind that clamps on, puts pressure on the sides) the abs that I used was 1 1/4 and the top bolt was putting pressure on the nerve, so I made a new one today. I’ll experiment with this larger one and see what happen. Oh is some coldness expected after the 10 min period or should there be none at all?

Hey stevie31,

You got me hanging awhile back and it seems as I increase the weight I run into the same circulation problem. I’m just wondering what kind of clamp your using for your wench. I’m using the large blue cable clamp as I have thick wrap.

Also are you cut?? I am not. I think this is where I run into a few problems.

big burb,

I’m glad to hear you got that pressure off your dorsal nerve, I’ll bet your hanger is going to be much more comfortable now. And yes, don’t expect your glans to remain the exact same temperature and color as normal. After all, you do have a contraption clamped down onto your dick. :) Just make sure your glans are not purple, and that you can still feel a fingernail being pressed into it (ever so slightly at that).

BTW, why not go ahead and make a Captn’s Wench? I find it’s far superior in comfort, ease of use, and safety than any homemade Bib I’ve ever assembled. Won’t cost you more than $15 at home depot. Either way, be sure to let everyone know how things go.

WeSty,

Yeah, I think the clamp (and amount of wrap) has a lot to do with providing good circulation. You want your clamp and wrap small enough to allow maximum grip on the tissues, but at the same time, thick enough to protect your penis. That’s another reason why I love Cappy’s Wench so much; it acts as wrap by keeping the clamp safely away from your member. All I require with the Wench is a small piece of cotton undershirt wrapped twice around my dick to provide comfort from the grippers. One thing you might try - if you haven’t already - is moving one of the grippers either forward or backward (depending on your flaccid size) to get better lateral pressure. I found Cap’s original gripper placement wasn’t right for my particular size, and a slight move of the left gripper made a world of difference.

Oh yeah, I use the medium cable clamp; the red one. I put the cable clamp around the wench and click it three times, wait 30 seconds or so for my dick to get entirely flaccid again, then try to eek out one more click to really snug it up. I’ve never been able to get 5 clicks, and 4 holds just fine. Again, this will be different for you depending on the amount/type of wrap you use, and the size of your flaccid.

One other consideration is the position of the cable clamp when tightening. Since it forms an oval shape once closed, it’s very important to align it properly to fit the dimensions of the wench. I like to start mine with the female end of the clamp on the top right side, with the jagged edge being fed in from the left.

Stevie,

I love the wench aswell, I think it works great, just these darn circulation problems. I’ve tried two different types of wrap, theraband being one. Maybe I’ll try the cotton next time and see how that works.

As for the grippers I haven’t moved them around too much, I’ll give that a shot.

As for the cable clamp, I can’t use the red because the wench bunches up to much, and I can’t get one click out of it, have you made the wench to big before?? Did you get this bunching in the clamp?? I think this could be the problem, I’ll have to make a small one…..Just thinking out loud :)

I also tighten the clamp the same way.

Oh yeah is your unit cut ??

WeSty.
