I stopped stretching for a few days, it can be quite uncomfortable sometimes and the dulling of sensitivity due to the cream was good for lasting longer in the bed room but the lack of sensation wasn’t great. I’m going to start stretching again today.
I am noticing a few differences. 1 my foreskin used to tighten up, the opening became smaller and tender after longer or vigorous sex. 2 I last longer, must be the cream (sex and masturbation). 3 When I pull my foreskin back It feels more elastic. 4 The opening is slightly bigger
I had yesterday off. I started with my larger ring the day before and found that my frenulum was tender as the ring was putting pressure on it. This morning I applied a layer of betnovate cream and spent a while positioning the the ring so that it avoided my frenulum.
I’ve just had a disaster instead of applying my steroid cream I applied capsican cream. I can definitely recommend not doing this. The pain was terrible, frantically googling how to reverse the effect of the cream whilst feeling like your foreskin is burning off is not enjoyable.
I had a 2 day rest as I was finding the stretching very uncomfortable. Today I went back to the smaller ring an I’ve worn it all day. I can now see a small difference.
I took a 24 hour break from stretching after my mishap with cream. Ring went back in ok but, I can really feel the stretch at the moment. I’m planning on sleeping with it but, it’s too uncomfortable at the moment I’ll give it an hour then decide.
After a 2 hour rest I have refitted the larger ring along. I found it a little more of a struggle to get the larger ring in as I didn’t build up from the smaller ring. I’m going to leave this in for a while.
I’ve had a stretch ring in for 2 hours this morning, when it took it out to apply cream I noticed it was relatively easy to remove so, decided to move up to a slightly larger ring. I can feel more tension with larger one in but it’s not uncomfortable.
Fitting the ring this morning, I find that inserting a smaller ring inside the larger ring increases the diameter and I can now feel the tension. I’m going to leave it in for around 1 hour.
Result after 2 days of using a steroid cream and my first day using stretch rings. Stretch rings can be difficult to get in exactly the right place but when they are tension on the phimotic ring is visible as per the first pic. I have noticed a very slight increase in diameter.
Using cotton buds is not the ideal solution so, I’ve ordered a stretch ring kit which will arrive in a couple of days and a steroid cream which is arriving today. Still improvising by enough pressure with buds that I can feel tension and not pain for half an hour.
Step 1. Lubricant. I have lubricated between my foreskin and glans with a high quality lubricant and cotton bud, I use a similar technique when cleaning but, this time I am using a number of cotton buds to stretch my foreskin.
The start of my journey picture 1 is erect with no pressure picture 2 is erect pulling my foreskin back with as much pressure as I am comfortable with.
