LG Hanger, a new vacuum hanger

Nice to have you here at Thunders.
Looking around your website it appears you may suggest some things different then the standard hanging information… maybe doing other exercises with hanging (vac pumping) that most others would say stay away from.
Do you also have any advice/recommendations for people looking at hanging after they have fully depleted their newbie gains and done PE for a year or more?

Which silicon sleeve specifically works well with the LG? And does the sleeve come in different diameters? The Monkeybar website isn’t very well organized or descriptive.

The LG hanger silicon sleeve is superior quality and durability for Hanging routine than Monkeybar sleeve! I already owned both sleeve and I have no doubt in my mind! Also, I hanged with LG hanger till 23 LB, and gained half inch length in 6 to 8 months ! The LG silicon sleeve are available in 3 sizes!

What is your wrapping technique to hang 23 lb without getting blisters? I have the LG hanger and am up to 12 lbs (been hanging for about 5 months), but just recently experienced a blister for the first time in a month.

If you have a solid year of training with our device and have plateaued, I would highly recommend you implement the Fulcrum and the Bundle. Both are excellent advanced exercises that allow you to target different areas of the penile anatomy without having to use heavier weights. These exercises will bring a new level of intensity and stress that’s very difficult to duplicate! We have some tutorial videos on our blog that were done by KingSnake on how to properly do these exercises. With the Bundle you want to be sure to start with no more than 1/2 turn and no more than 8 lbs. Of weight, and give yourself at least three weeks of training before you attempt to do a full 360* degree twist. This is a superior Tunica blaster! You’ll probably find that you won’t need to ever use more than 8 - 10 lbs of weight to get total fatigue.

I do not recommend guys who have less than six months of consistent, dedicated training to try these exercises. In other words no weekend warriors who occasionally do PE.

Pumping for 15 - 20 minutes after a hang / fulcrum / bundle session is definitely going to provide some eye popping results!

Skin stretch with any from of PE is inevitable. The goal is to minimize it. After several months of testing different chamber depths, we determined that the best way to minimize skin stretch was to ensure that the traction / pull needs to be isolated at just above the glans on the shaft. This is why I manufacture all chambers to be a minimum of 2 1/4”deep.

Additionally how you wrap is important. If you are un-cut you have two options.. Retracting foreskin or pulling it forward. The feedback we have received from un-cut men is that retracting foreskin and then wrapping helps to minimize skin stretch.

Conversely there are men who want to stretch foreskin and reverse the circumcision. So you have options depending on what you want to avoid or achieve.

As much as I’d like to provide a wrapping method that could completely eliminate the blister potential, it simply doesn’t exist. Avoiding blisters really comes down to tuning into the sensation that you feel that indicates a blister is forming. That sensation is an itchy / tingly feeling on the tip of your penis while under traction. Try and be consciously aware of this subtle feeling, and once you recognize it, don’t ignore it, and stop your hang session immediately.

I have a more detailed article on our blog on “Blisters - how to avoid them and what to do if you get one”.

I’ve read the article several times. Weight progression has been very gradual and my routine has been very steady. I guess I need to figure out how to earlier recognize this subtle sensation of a blister forming. I try and stay in tune to it, but it hasn’t been very apparent to me with the few times I’ve developed a blister.

Surely, some forms of wrapping are superior to others. Maybe there isn’t one particular method which is blister-proof, but perhaps more resistant. Micropore over the entire glans? Micropore plus a silicone cap filled with baby powder? I’m willing to experiment because it seems no matter how slowly I try and build tissue maturity, I end up getting a blister which sets me back several days (and in actuality even more time than that.. You have to dial the weight back down and build back up).

Experiment with various wraps. I personally like one strip of microfoam across front of glans going lengthwise with penis. Then a wrap of blue tender tape around the area, starting approx. 1” below glans wrapping in a spiral fashion like you would wrap a baseball bat handle. Allow about 1/2” beyond glans, pinch and fold over. Then squeeze and mold to your penis.
Remember that if you take a break from hanging for more than two days, when you resume you need to drop weight and time by 50% for a few days until you get your skin reconditioned. Trust me it doesn’t take that long before you start to lose the skin conditioning from an extended break.

Marlon,

I have some darkening spots randomly around my glands which I’m assuming from hanging, was wondering if this is normal? Will it ever go away and if I continue to hang, will more spots come? What is the cause of this and how can I avoid getting any more?

I’m assuming you’re using a LG Hanger? If so there’s a possibility that you are rupturing tiny capillaries in the dermis. It could be from the vacuum pressure (which can include pumping), it can also be a side effect from aggressive jelqing. Not sure how to prevent it from happening, everyone has different skin types. If it’s just a cosmetic concern you might want to consider some age spot cream, or try an indoor tanning bed to help stimulate melanin production (just don’t get carried away with indoor tanning).

Yes I am, I keep it at 5Hg. Is this just cosmetic? Should I worry if I’m damaging my glands in any way? I don’t do any other pe besides hanging.

Based on your description, I believe it’s cosmetic. If you were harming yourself you’d know it. I would advise that you follow your hang sessions with some aggressive hand stretches and massage / jelqs for 10 minutes afterwards. It’s beneficial to wear your Girth Band after the work out in order to prevent retraction / “Turtling”.

Do you have a link to this microfoam tape on amazon?

I tried micropore for a while but it gets too stuckd on the glans and leaving some residual glue that is annoying to remove

Thanks

Not sure if it’s on Amazon or how it’s listed if it is.
We do buy in bulk from the manufacturer and sell it on our website for less than you can purchase from your local brick and mortar pharmacy stores like Walgreens or Rite-Aid. However we do have to charge for shipping (we use the most economical source = USPS). We can typically get up to 20 rolls in a priority envelope. Many of our International / European customers buy that many rolls to save on the cost of shipping. It costs the same to ship one roll or twenty rolls.
