2024-05-20 Session 44 of 180 – ChadThunderDownUnder’s PhalBack Blog
Blog Summary
So I’m going to start with my takeaway so far, which I think is really important for full context of my review: even missing 20% of the sessions due to issues, I am still making progress on this program. That is fantastic.
The issues are almost entirely because of edema caused by a small piece of skin around my circumcision scar that keeps creeping up the tube. The stepped 12/10 chamber helps a bit, but the 12 section only goes up about 4". By the end of each session I am over 8" in length so it really doesn’t make sense that more than half my length is still in the #10 tube when just my glans needs to be there.
This seems to explain why girth gains are frozen in place as well. I need to be in larger tubes to reach the next level but have essentially stayed in the same size the entire time because the girthiest parts of my shaft are still in the #10.
I’m trying a few new things to see if we can alleviate this issue and get things back in the sweet spot for girth gains. Tonight I tried the #11 and to my astonishment…it felt too tight! I couldn’t quite believe it, but my tissue is expanding enough in the cylinder that the fit is starting to feel very snug - almost uncomfortably so. It must be getting more malleable longitudinally but not able to stretch far enough due to the tube sizing.
Unfortunately, the #11 still gets that edema issue near the scar but it is not nearly as bad as before. I think I need to move up to the #12 to get sufficient girth impetus going. If the edema continues to be a problem, it’s possible to explore another custom chamber that has size #12 up to about 5.5" and then #10 for the rest. It’s an idea.
Unfortunately, as stated above, due to all of the interruptions I’ve missed over 20% of the sessions I should have had by now. The fact that I’ve gone from 6.7 to 7.2 BPEL in that time frame, even with low girth gains of only 1/8"~ is remarkable. Who even knows how far I’d be if I didn’t have this annoying edema issue due to my unique shape? I told them I would be a difficult client (hehe).
Oh well. I’m happy so far. We’re going to get this down. I’ve got one month to go before I have a forced extended break due to travel so I need to make this count. There will be no skipped sessions and I will be going to the largest cylinder I can support.
Side note: Due to the interruptions, it became apparent that tracking by days doesn’t make a lot of sense. Since you are supposed to do 2 sessions daily for 90 days, I am now tracking by session number. Currently, I have completed 44 out of targeted 180 sessions, or 24.44% complete. The PhalBack team has told me that I can keep the device for longer to reach the promised gains as long as I stay diligent about usage and appear to continue gaining; they do not want any clients (even the unpaid ones it seems) to be dissatisfied with their service which is another thing I do like about the company. They are determined to make sure you get results.
