Hanging with FIRe

Seems you are in the UK. I use this one

Aroma Season Wireless Electric Heating Pad, Instant Heating, Three Heat Settings, Great for Period Cramps, Auto Shut Off Portable Rechargeable

Has given me good results and when you cut of the straps it can fold around my dick easily.

For vacuum hanging I use totalman vac hanger. That ships from Australia but only took 7 or so days to get to me.

Edit. Not sure why the link isn’t showing

Ok thanks, what totalman package do you recommend

I got the vac hanger kit. Bought the heating pad too but it isn’t that good, the Amazon link I posted is a better pad.

Did you read the first few posts in this thread?

Hey 5.5 any chance you have a template of your progress excel spreadsheet for the rest of us to use?

If you go through his more frequent log, 5.5Squared Log, you’ll find screenshots of his Excel spreadsheet. Note that it goes through a few evolutions. Should be simple enough to replicate.

So I’m guessing with the thermedic heatpad, the 3rd setting is the optimal one with optimal heat we need right as it’s not showing the exact temperature. I’m just worried about whether or not I get enough heat from it through the silicone sleeve on my shaft. What are people’s thoughts on that?

There comes a time when you just need to do the work and then post your feedback.
Most of my cycles were USB/laptop at setting 3.
Last cycle used wallbrick at setting 3 (much hotter). Setting 2 and wallbrick may be sufficient.

I look forward to you posting results instead of asking for others opinions over and over and over…..

There’s no need to get rude here. If you’re following my log, I’ve just finished week number two. I notice my questions are bothering you so I’ll politely leave the thread

I don’t think he is being rude. You’re asking questions that are answered in this thread. And you’re also messaging other users these questions too. The answers you’re looking for are IN this thread. Re-read it if you have to.

Here you go.

Did you read my post? Everything that you and everyone has mentioned I’ve typed in google and Amazon and nothing is coming up related to what was said. Another person answered my question and said it’s because I’m from the uk which is why nothing is coming up, so it’s all good.

Thank you! Any chance you could also share the one you use to monitor/track strain?

EDIT: NEVERMIND. Didn’t see that one has three different pages/sheets.

THANKYOU!

I tested internal temp with the thermedic. I took the gel pad off, over the silicone sleeve, plugged into wall on setting three. This did not feel nearly as hot as the totalman. I topped out at 39.7C, and to get there I had to squeeze the pad. After these tests, I’ll most likely use the total man on the second setting. Keep in mind, I only did one test each, and I could have a defective thermedic pad. If anyone else wants to test their own pads, the thermocouple thermometer was only like $30. It’s uncomfortable, but I think it’s worth the sacrifice to make sure you’re putting the best work in possible. Another thing I want to point out is this quote from longerstretch’s post (linked on 5.5’s original post). Basically saying that even heat below 40C is beneficial.

My free time is going to be unpredictable for a month or two so I won’t be starting the routine for a while. Will be following other guys, and I’ll start my own log once I begin. Good luck fellas.

I thought the same about the pads, so I have been “testing” mine. I ordered 2 of the smaller 3x6 and 2 of the 4x7. I’ve tested the temperature between the 2 smaller ones, but by feel only. Right now, one of my smaller pads does seem to not get up in temperature to the other smaller pad. And both 3x6 are certainly less than the 4x7.

What size pads did you test? But I do see a difference in intensity of heat.
