Heating Application for Hanging Guideline

Opening this thread with the objective of creating a collective guideline about everything related to heat application when hanging, and organize related heating discussions under a single thread. With kind contributions from our senior and experienced members, hopefully we will be able to get clear answers and feedback from all of our community.

- What kind and size of heat pad do we need?
- Where to buy them? Different brands and types?
- How to apply the heat correctly during the session?
- When to not apply heat and when not to, cool down period?
- What should be the temperature ranges?
- How to measure the temperature exactly?

I received my industrial thermometer today and measured the temperatures on my Totalman FIR. So I took the probe and placed it inside my wrapped up TM FIR, just like how I would wrap it around my penis.

This thing gets way too hot!

> Blue setting which is the coolest is measuring over 54C in 10 minutes.
> Red setting which is the hottest is measuring over 65 degrees in 10 minutes.

The temperature keeps going up by the way if I leave it on longer. I saw 70 C on the red. However to note, I did use the red setting wrapped up, and it doesn’t burn or feel overly hot. So that’s interesting. I would assume it should have burned my penis at 70 C.

I am sure my thermometer is decently calibrated because at room temperature it shows 25C.

Where exactly 39-42C temp should measure, inside tissues/penis OR on the skin surface OR just the heat pad?

How do you guys exactly measure the temperature to make sure it stays in therapeutic range?

The 39-42C temp is for the area you’re trying to target - usually the “septum” in the center, that divides the left and right sides of the shaft.

Even with a urethral thermocouple, a certain amount of guesswork is involved.

Longerstretch explains the value of heat here:

And references Manko007’s work on taking temeprature in urethra, which came from here:
Manko007’s road to big dick land (p. 11)

Honestly this is simple. Read up on rice sock heating on this forum.

Bib would warm up with 5-10 minutes above the base over the fat pad. He then would use the rice sock for the first 10 minutes on each of his 20 minute AM sets.

That is it! just saved you some $$ and time.

But how do you even ballpark guess if it is around 39-42C in that area when the FIR pad temperatures showing 60-70C. I believe I read that at 45C cell death occurs?

Big Hanging method is different which is PE by heavy weights and creating fatigue. I believe you are talking about the warm-up in that method with rice sock. Temp accuracy doesn’t matter in that method.

Whereas I am talking about the low weight hanging method.

This 39-42C range is important which needs to be applied during the session between 0.1 MPa and 0.17 MPa weights.

How do you factor up the weight you need to use vs the girth again? I read about it last night but can’t understand it (I apologize)

The characteristics of the tunica albuginea revisited

People did urethra probes while using the IR pads and IIRC showed it took 10 minutes to reach therapeutic temps

The pad may reach 60-70c but that heat quickly dissipates as it hits tissues and tries to penetrate into the penis

Especially if your using it wrapped around a cylinder for pumping like I am

But if you do reach internal temperatures hot enough to cause cell death etc, 99.99% of the time you will feel pain indicating you are burning yourself. If you aren’t feeling burning pain but just feel warm in the tissues, then you should be fine.

Anyways that’s just my personal opinion

Oh ok, so if that’s the case, we need to wrap the heat pad around our penis 10 minutes before we reach our 0.1 MPa weight, is that correct?

(Assuming we heated the pad for at least 10 minutes by itself for it to reach its maximum temperature).

Also, which setting do you think I should use in your opinion, BLUE (55C) or RED (70C), or it doesn’t matter? RED setting doesn’t burn my skin, it’s comfortable.

By the way I contacted Mike today from Totalman, and he thinks my unit may be defected, but also suggested to test it differently first. He wrote:

“I’m also not sure if the electrode or measuring unit of you meter is interacting with the graphene film in a way that reads hotter. So if you were to put it on metal, it would heat up more than if it was being used on tissue.”

So I will test the FIR pad again this weekend with a tissue in between and report.

Makes sense, but what do you think the temperature of the pad to heat inside tissues to 40c? Ex. 10C difference, or 20 degree difference?

I am asking because blue setting reaches 57c in 15 mins and red setting to 70C. I now measured with tissue wrapped up around the probe with these results, doesn’t make much difference.

Do you think the blue setting will be enough or should I go with the red setting?

Hi.
Within the different options we can summarize for the hanging routine 3 different phases:
Hang>15 minutes warm up>30 minutes apply hot 40º-43º approximately> 15 minutes increase weight to cool down

My question is:
Anyone tested significantly cooling down with frozen pads (in the cooling down phase, of course)?
Any research / experiences applying cold?

(Before I´ve search for threads containing hot/cold with no significant results)

I’m a new member, congrats you all for the high quality and brotherhood of this forum.

I have both the totalman hanger and male hanger (vaccum / compression)

I’m using the male hanger, where do I apply the heat? On my penis base? Because I can’t apply it anywhere else while hanging.

I did not try ice application for cool down.

In the first 10 minute warm up, is that with the heat pad on or no heat pad?

Because it was mentioned that it takes 10 mins for heat from the FIR pad to penetrate inside the penile tissues and raise the tissue temperature to 40C.
