Wench Issues

Hi all, a while back i made a Captain’s Wench, and recently i’ve started to use it. Things are mostly fine (i’m noticing some flaccid gains), but there is a comfort issue with the wench that mere adjustment won’t alleviate. At the moment, the point at which i seal the wench around my cock causes some irritation when i tighten the wench on with a cable clamp. because the velcro overlaps a bit (which is required to give the wench a tight hold), a slightly sharp edge is created, digging into my cock. Furthermore, when i do tighten the wench, it collapses in on itself at one point, again digging in to my unit. I’m not overtightening, as it’s the necessary tightness to prevent it sliding off. How can i get around this?

You know, there are so few people posting about hanging generally, let alone with the Wench/Wenchette, that I’m not optimistic about too many experienced users answering. You’re probably best served reading all the old wench threads carefully and perhaps PM a couple of the guys posting in them if their accounts are still active. Good luck.

use something like a second skin, by that i mean cut a condom, remove the lube, and guess it’ll prevent this sharp edge annoy you anymore

Or maybe a bycicle inner tyre.

As an aside, the title of your thread had me thinking your girlfriend won’t bring you beer.

Try wrapping up and beyond the point where the wench meets your penis. I had some of this too at some point but try to increase your wrapping material. It feels that a good wrap makes a huge difference when it comes to the wench.

Thanks very much guys, ill try wrapping up. I did consider it, but I thought it would have an adverse effect on the wench’s grip.

I had the same problem with the wench digging into my skin. Wrapping took care of it.

I had some of these issues initially. I have tried three different hangers that I have made myself (sock, Hubbard, and wench). The wench is far superior to the others. I modified mine a little, omitting the furniture pads.

I was using a two-wrap system at first, meaning that I had an under-wrap and an over-wrap. I used fleece under an Ace bandage. Initially I was getting some serious discomfort, pain even. I recognize it now as skin stretch and learning to wrap properly. I now wrap with a single item, an Ace bandage. Much more comfortable (for me).

I wrap my Ace from just below the head, two good, tight revolutions, then spiral down to the base, keeping the wrap tight all the way; wrap my 2” wide Velcro band good and tight (1/2” behind the forward edge of the wrap); attach the 3/4” Velcro strap (with S hook); clamp with my cable cuff, and I am ready to hang. Now it takes just seconds to set up. I am currently hanging seventeen pounds. I was hanging 10+ hours a week until recently when I got a coach, who has helped me a lot. He has me on a much lighter/diverse schedule.

WRAPPING IS EVERYTHING! Practice until you perfect it. Hanging should not be uncomfortable (once you get past the newbie “skin stretch” phase). If it is uncomfortable, abort (all the way to and including the wrap) and try again. It has been my experience that discomfort is almost always a wrapping issue.

Best of luck on your hanging career. Hope I helped a little.

Hey all, sorry to bump this one, but it looks like I have another newbie problem. I’ve managed to deal with the skin chafing problem by changing to a thicker pair of grips, but now I find that i’m not getting very good circulation in my unit while i’m hanging. After a few minutes, it goes a bit cold, so I remove the wench, encourage circulation for a bit, then continue. Not only that, but i find that after a while, the wench tends to slide down my shaft, stopping under the glans. Could some more experienced hangers give me some tips?
