Discolouration and fatigue.

Hi have not posted much on here before but have been meddling with hanging for a couple of weeks and need some help.

I made my own hanger using a band clamp and some pipe insulation. This has been working for me great until today when I tried upping the weight from about 5 lbs to 8 lbs. The hanger now seems to try and pull everything past where the band clamp is attached through the “O” of the band clamp.

I figure this is as the pipe insulation doesnt spread the pressure along the length of the penis evenly and i guess in the end im getting a reduced noose effect as with 8 lbs it ends straining along the penis until it gets towards the head.

I guess you guys didnt need to know all that but figured it would be better that you knew where i was coming from in practice and also would appreciate any suggestions.

My main question is really about glan discolouration as when using the 8lbs after about 10mins i looked down and to my horror the head had started to go a dark colour. It wasnt quite purple but i removed the hangar immediately and while doing so started to feel a numb sensation. Feeling returned pretty much as soon as the hangar was off totally.

So finally my first question…. Is discolouration and numbness a sign of bad things or is a certain amount a given effect off hanging?

The cause of all this was the weight increase which i guess brings me to my next question…. fatigue. I wanted to increase the weight as after about 1 hour 40 mins of hang time in total i wasnt really feeling any great fatigue in my member… so the next question is basically to be getting good results should i be feeling more of a strained feeling after hanging?

I know is hard to quantify the feeling so ill try my best. After lifting weights my arms feel engorged everytime i move them i can feel they have been recently exerted. However after hanging i can do things like taking a pee, getting a hard on and not feel all to different to what it would feel like if i hadnt hung. Is this normal??

Pipe insulation isn’t all that great for a hanger because it is too “fluffy.” It slips, which is why you’re having problems.

Slight darkening is ok, and will happen to an extent with hangers that tend to put pressure on the head. It shouldn’t turn blue, get cold or go numb. Numb is bad, real bad.

That’s the way it is for me. I don’t feel much different after hanging, certainly nothing like after lifting weights. I can feel a slight soreness when I stretch manually.

You really should make a better hanger, such as a Homemade Bib.

Thank you for the advice Hobby.

I guess ill try making another hanger :)
