When I started restoring I knew that using tape was not going to be the way to go for
me. This shows the first device I made using a funnel, and toilet flappers. It worked as a tugger and I even found toilet flappers that were clear (found at Lowe's hardware)Pros: cheap and easy to build.
Cons: you need a strap for tension and the grip was not the greatest. Did I mention it was cheap!
Lets face it when experimenting with ways to restore yourself your going to come up with some ideas that sound great in theory but fail in reality ( well at least in this reality) Here are some of my good ideas and failed attempts.
Pros :The device on the right worked great but I had to use a leg strap for tension so I needed a device that I could use with shorts. A dial device would be best but I wanted something quicker the turning a dial. I made this device carving plastic with a rotary tool and coating it with aquarium silicon. I used the same kind of outer gripper I use on the DTR to hold the skin to the bell ( gripper not shown). Cons:This device worked well but over time the silicon would peal and it smelled like rubber so I needed to improve my design.
When I made this device I had some issues with the pusher plate I had made one that was larger and had a notch for my frenulum. This plate worked ok but had to line up just right when I used the device plus anyone new to restoring would need more skin to use the device. My solution was to make a smaller plate that would clear my frenulum skin and fit inside the bell.
I then made a cage style plate that would fit over the glans but this plate
hurt like hell after 20 minutes and was put into my failed attempts box.pros: looks cool
Cons : hard to use and hurts
