# Q - The gripper sometimes hurts, what can I do?
A- I have recived emails about guys turnning the gripper inside out. They tell me they have the discomfot is gone when they do this.
# Q- Can it be made smaller?
A- This isn't possible at this time due to the gripper size.
# Q- I get some discomfort from wearing the DTR over longer periods of time what can I do?
A- Depending on the tension you use you might get some discomfort from time to time. I like to vary the tension from soft to hard during my daily use. when using a light to moderate tension I don't feel almost anything at all. If I use an extreme amount of tension I can go for 15- 30 minutes before I need to release the tension. You can use a piece of a cotton ball or tissue between the pusher plate and the head of your penis if you are getting discomfort.
# Q- What's the best routine for restoring with the DTR?
A- I used my DTR for 5-6 hours a day during the week and 5-8 hours a day on weekends. I find that varying tension helped to. I would used the manual setting for 2 hours then release the tension and just use the elastic tension. If the elastic tension is to much get longer elastics or use an elastic cord and make your own custom sizes. you can get that kind of cord at craft stores or the craft dept in a wal-mart.
# Q- I just started restoring what should I use?
A- This is a question I get allot. Since I made the DTR after 5 months of using a tugger I couldn't say if someone could use the DTR with the pushrod and plate. I would say it would have to be used as a tugger then when more skin develops use the rod and pusher plate. The DTR is made for more intermediate and advanced restores. although I've had guys just starting use the DTR with no problems it all depends on how much skin you have to start with.
# Q- I need a thumbscrew or a shorter push rod or a extra gripper can I get these?
A- I've made smaller push rods for guys and don't even charge a dime ( not even shipping cost) luckily this is an easy part to make and I buy the nylon rods I use in bulk so it doesn't cost to much. If you lose a screw you can find them at home depot. If not give me a yell and I'll get some out to you. The gripper is made from a "Advent" brand baby bottle nipple. These things never wear out and are easy to clean. I never needed to replace mine, but if you find yourself needed another one and cant find them email me and I send you one.
# Q- Am I to old or young to restore?
A- I really don't think age makes that much of a difference in restoring. I was 35 when I started. It really depends on consistently following a routine. I don't mean you cant take a day off here and there but, don't make it a habit. I only missed about 5-10 days total out of the two years. After I started it began just part of my day. It never became a chore or something I didn't want to do. It seams like a long time but when I look back it now it was nothing and well worth the effort.
# Q- Do I need to give special measurements to have one made up.
A- No. I've had guys from all ethnic backgrounds every shape and size from very small to well endowed and The DTR has fit nearly %98 percent of guys who got one. If you have thicker then usual shaft or foreskin then a larger gripper can be used.
( Playtex brand nipple) This is rare and a fixable problem. The only other problem is if your skin is to tight to fit over the bell. The bell is a little bigger then a D size flashlight battery. So if you can roll your shaft skin onto a D battery this will give you an idea on the size. This again is a rare problem.
# Q- Can the bell be made shorter ?
A- At this time I can't make the bell shorter so that the gripper comes down the bell all the way. I tried to do this while developing the DTR but for some strange reason the DTR would not grip and just fell off. I'm trying to develop my own made gripper that would fit fully around the bell. This is not an easy task since I need something that is soft yet strong enough to last for years.
