Vacuum Hanger Question about Penis Tip

scabbott,

Thanks for the info. My cap does have a slight taper to it, not sure if it’s enough. I still havn’t perfected it. It starts to lose vacuum after 10 min and slips off. I do have a .030 hole in it that I use to get a vac going and then put tape over it. I don’t think the cap is too big. There isn’t much room when my head is in it. I’ll put a pic of it in (Member pic) area soon and link here.

I think a slight taper is good. The main thing is having a good flat end to compress the leading roundness out of the whole frontal portion of the head. If you use a well fitting stretchy tube or get one from MonkeyBar that should eliminate your slippage. I can wear mine till I must pee too bad to leave it on. Longest time probably 6 hours straight roughly. The hole in MonkeyBars is to compress air out as opposed to suck air out. So not really to create suction but rather to eliminate air. One tube idea you could use that you can buy locally at a medical supply store is an external catheter. They come is multiple sizes, the only challenge is alot of the newer ones are “self-adhering”. Avoid that because it is sticky and when you roll it on it will stay just a little too good. You know like it is taped on from the inside. I would just recommend buying a tube from MonkeyBar, they last a good while in my experience. I have yet to wear one out.

Just to let you all know the tip has been peeling now, revealing new skin. It is not back to normal but seems to be getting there.

Joe, you are a brave soul - even after the redesign work - oviously you are still very sensitive to vacuuming. Make sure its fully healed before getting back on - I had many injuries over the years and it still look and feel okay (some darkening and turkeyneck, but thats probably from circulation/skin stretch from clamp based device).

I haven’t had a similar experience, but I did have a swelling on the tip symptom for few weeks (comes and go, wierd) and when its not swollen, it gets wrinkly to some degree. Again, it comes and go and it seems environment (condition of the penis) have lot to do with this…

As someone mentioned, the head squishing is one of the key point for anti-fluid buildup. Unfortunately, due to the cylinder length (it has to accomodate variety of users), its difficult to get rid of all the space/air if your flaccid is not as long. This is the reason why I was playing with the custom cylinder option (I’m bit short also in flaccid state). By having a small insert (hence custom sizing option), its easier to get rid of the air and squish the head against the shorter top wall. So far I’m loving the shorter wall and it seem to do what it was designed to do. When I have it available, give it a try - it probably will help a bit.

Here is the pic I promised. I made one change since I took the pic. I added a wire tie to the cap to hold the rubber on better.

My homemade vac hanger.

I had it on pretty long tonight, over an hour. I got a pretty bad lymph buildup just under the head around circ scar. It did not go all the way around just on the bottom.

So if I put a ring of innertube rubber over the head at the bad area it should help keep it from happening?

thanks

Try cutting off the thumb of a rubber dish glove, make a small hole in the end of it, put it on like a condom. Should work like a charm.

I’ve had some of the same issues as stated above with the leathery skin effect at the tip of the glans, right around the pee hole.

The glans would peel but me being me, I’d push on and keep hanging with weights or ADS.

Well this is the longest break I have taken since getting my VH(VacuHanger) I haven’t used it at all since last Thursday. My wife had been complaining about the leathery tip for at least month, haven’t received a blow job in about 2 months I’d say, she doesn’t like the feel of it.

I’ve been hanging heavier than MonkeyBar suggested for his device and I believe that has contributed to some of my problems, I’ve hung up to 17.5 lbs. The majority of the time I hung at 12.5 or 15 though. Only at 17.5 twice, just the first set, then reduced the weight.

I got some tip bruising, which in turn made the leathery tip worse.

Since I’ve been taken the time off, everything is healing great.

I don’t plan on hanging that heavy anymore with the VH, I’ve ordered a BibHanger and will use it for the heavier hanging. And will use the VH for lighter hanging and as an ADS.

I gained a halph an inch due to using the VH and am grateful to MonkeyBar, thanks man.

I am just like you I continue through it all. I don’t really get the problem wearing it as an ADS, I guess because there is very little force being applied just enough to get a decent pull to aid healing in an extended state..

Wouldn’t the small hole cause the skin to be pulled through that whole because of the vacuum causing a blister? I don’t mean that the skin will actually go thought there, but the vacuum will attempt to make it go through there. I understand the constriction sleeve idea. I fact I use one, but I don’t understand putting a hole it it. Could you please elaborate why you did this? Maybe I’m missing something that could be helpful and an easy fix.

I seem to have fixed the lymph problem with innertube. I cut it 1” and slipped over my head. I hung for all but 1.5 hrs. and my head and skin looked the same as when I put it in the cap. yahoo! :)

It seems to be woking good now I hope I don’t have leather skin problems.

joe_smith, the hole is supposed to be tiny. Without it the dish glove thumb will feel like it is being pulled off. With it you are letting some vacuum in but the whole glans is compressed so you avoid much of the fluid build up. Also, with the dish glove thumb on, you avoid rubbing your glans against the inside of the cap, witch in turn will help on the blister problem. That being said, I have not tested this to much my self, one of my test-subjects reported that he got a blister that burst and that he tried the dish glove thumb as a protection, he said it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I might try putting a hole in my constriction sleeves and see if this helps any.

Babbis,

I cut the thumb off of a size large rubber dish glove and there is no way I can get this thing over the tip of my penis. How the heck did you do this?

I found something that has aided in the healing time of my glans.

I’ve had the leathery tip, peeling glans issues as stated above.

I’ve tried many different moisturizers and such, the latest one is a exfoliating moisturizer intended for your feet. I put in on as much as possible and while wearing my VH as a ADS.

It has helped alot, my glans actually completely healed for a few days before I pushed it again with the Bib and VH.

All is well, I got it from CVS, pharmacy.
