Glans sore from hanging

Perhaps something is wrong with my setup…

1. Wrap 1”x15” strip from a cotton shirt. 1 inch from glans towards the base and secured with tape.

2. On top, 1”x15” 3M Nextcare tape. Secured with tape.

3. Two loops of interlocking velcrostrips. One secured around the penis, the other around the weight. (make “ok” signs with your fingers and lock the loops together… you get the idea)

4. Only hanging 32 oz of water in a bottle. Around 3 lbs.

My glans is sore after10 minutes of hanging and become cold and dark in color. I remove the setup, wait a while and repeat for about 30 minutes of total hang time. All I am looking for is a good hands-free stretch so I can use them for other things (ie. type on a forum).

If I am reading that right, that is a noose set-up. If that is what it is, that is not recommended.

There are directions to either make a clamp style, or Vac style, hanger on this forum. Of course, you could buy commercial versions of either of those, as well.

I have a vac hanger and in my opinion I don’t think anything is so comfortable that hanging seems like a walk in the park. The reality is that it is hard work but wrapping does help some.

Make a wench if you want a cheap hanger

Like Dino said, the Wench is excellent. Also, make sure you attach the hanger far enough away from your glans so that neither the hanger nor the wrap ever touches your glans when the weight is applied.

When I hung with the Wench, I would apply the leading edge of the hanger about 1/4-1/2” above my circ scar (closer to the base). When I put the weight on, the skin in front of the hanger would bunch up and provide a cushion that protected the glans.

Honestly, though, if you’re hanging with light weight you should really consider building or buying a vacuum hanger. Nothing beats it for comfort, IMO, and it’s incredibly simple to use. My glans loves mine.

I can’t seem to find instructions on the board to build a vac hanger. There is only something about an ADS that “sucks”. If anybody can provide a link to a homemade vac hanger, that would be great.

There is also a swim cap hanger that seems to be very easy to build. Does anybody know the max weight something like that can hold. It doesn’t look too sturdy, but I don’t need too much yet b/c I am still new to hanging.

The Suxxtender, or whatever it is, is the homemade version of the vac-hanger. A precursor if you will.

Just remember: it sucks.

Monkeybar made it pretty and improved on it.

If you want to go cheap, the suxxtender or the wench are the way to go.

But if the glans grows cold or turns dark…stop. No matter what you’re using.

Thanks for all the help. I still don’t understand how the captain’s wench doesn’t stop blood flow. It uses a clamp to hold the device on tightly to prevent it from slipping. Doesn’t this stop bloodflow because that is what a clamp is used for?

No. the pads exert pressure on the sides of the penis, away from the major veins and arteries, and, more importantly, the dorsal nerve.

If you’re willing to spend less than $20 to avoid nerve damage to your penis, I highly recommend the Wench. I gained almost an inch in EL while I was using it.

Nah, you’d have to try it on. It doesn’t disrupt bloodflow at all.

The Captain’s Wench seems to be the easiest to make. Does anybody know which isle in Wal-Mart or Home Depot I can find velcro and cable clamps? The other materials I can find around the house.
