personal wrapping breakthrough

I have never had an easy time with hanging, as I have mentioned in earlier posts. I won’t repeat the sorry story here, except to say that I’m uncut and have had continuing foreskin bruising. But as we all keep saying (correctly), everyone is different, and we need to keep experimenting. Recently, I found that I get a much better, almost entirely trouble-free hang by using black Theraband (rather than silver). I use a light cotton wrap underneath an 18in long/2in wide strip of the black stuff, and I was amazed at how much more effectively the Bib gripped the internal structures. I’m certain this is a big (personal) step forward. I realize it might not provide the same advantage for others, but I thought to mention it just in case….

Redlight,

thanks for the info. I recently got my Bib starter and plan to begin a hanging program this week. I need to read the hanging threads.

I seem to have a lot of loose skin from my manual training which has had me a little concerned about how the hanger will stay fit.

I’ll keep in mind that I might have to try different types of theraband.

Good luck with your hanging adventure. I’m convinced that the Bib hangers are the way to go, but (as you’ll know), keep experimenting until you find the best comfort-zone. Take heart from the fact that you probably don’t have more loose skin than I do (believe me!)

Redlight,

I too had a heck a of time with wrapping when I was first getting started. Glad to hear that you found something that works well for you.

One thing that I rarely see mentioned on the forum is that there are actually two different types of Theraband…latex and latex-free. There’s quite a difference in feel/consistency from one to the other. If you want to experiment further, you could try the black level in the type you aren’t currently using.

MX, greetings:

I had no idea about the two types of Theraband; thanks for the tip. As you’ll know there are several colours of Theraband, each indicating a different weight. The black felt sufficiently stretchy, yet with enough weight to provide the protection I need, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was amazed at how good the result was. Perhaps we’ll find that our different individual needs can be met by shifting about among the colours.
