Advanced Inner Grip technique
     
For years my DTR has served me well. With the added super grip trick came one problem.The higher tension would press the glans harder then normal causing some discomfort.
The super grip trick is used by advanced users that are looking for higher tensions. This has been the fastest way to grow skin. Even with the cosmetic cushion it still pushed the glans where it would bother me after hours of using very high tension.
I tried using a gripper upside down on the push plate to help cushion the glans. Instead of acting as a cushion it ended up gripping the inner foreskin. This relieved all pressure on the glans and allowed me to use maximum tension with no discomfort at all.
Bellow is a series of pictures showing this technique that I'm sure other device makers will start to incorporate after they see it! So remember you saw it here first.
IGT (Inner Grip Technology ) I just love coming up with acronyms

 
  First I take a no hole gripper ( AKA super gripper )
and put it at the bottom of the push plate.
  You can make your own gripper up or get one on the parts page.
  Putting the DTR on as I normally would, I have also found that it is best to wash the grippers and dry them off with a towel. The shaft skin should not be overly damp. I use a paper towel to dry the inner shaft skin .
  Using my fingers lightly I hold the skin tube against the push plate helping the inner gripper stick to the skin.

What happens is the gripper that is now on the push plate gets stuck against the skin tube I just created by using the DTR. My own skin tube it acting much like the gripper on the bell. As long as the gripper is clean it should just grip the skin as the push rod gets pushed down. Most times I can get away without using a collar. I prefer to use the collar since it keeps the push plate from slipping down.
  The collar works by keeping the push plate from moving down in case your skin gets damp.
My original collar was made from a athletic support brace.
This worked very well but unfortunately would be too expensive for me to offer to my fellow DTR uses. With some research I found the same material used to make these support braces.
  This is a close-up of the collar with the Velcro closure. The collar is made out of 100% nylon fabric with a polyester foam core and nylon tryot backing. This was exactly what I was looking for. Very durable and easy to clean (hand wash and dry) and not to mention very comfortable, even more so than my original support strap.
Because of the cost being less I am able to offer these at a much lower price than if I was to convert support straps.
  Using the collar is very simple. After I apply the DTR I simply start to wrap the collar just below the push plate.
I do not have to wrap it tightly, just enough so that it doesn't slide up and down the shaft skin. This takes only a couple of seconds to apply.
  After the collar is in place I simply pushed down the push rod once more and tighten the set screw. With the advanced inner grip and collar I can use extreme tension. When used correctly there should be hardly any pressure put on the glans. This method has increased my skin growth and made the DTR much more comfortable to use when using high tensions.

I'm not trying to cut off circulation in the skin, I'm just trying to apply enough tension with the collar so it helps the inner gripper from slipping.
These adjustable collars work much better than a fixed ring or band. When using the collar I will remove the DTR every 45-60 minutes to let the skin relax.
 

 

It only takes a few minutes to learn how to do this technique. I don't know if everyone using a DTR can do this from the start.
The collars are available on my parts page if you're interested in getting some. The collars are 9 inches long with a Velcro closure. You can cut them smaller if needed.
They are available in a convenient two pack.

This technique is still experimental but has definitely helped in relieving all discomfit I had from the push plate pressing on my glans when using very high tensions.
  I have been using this technique since October. I have also discovered something new in the past two months. I added an extra hole on the push rod so that I may use an additional elastic. I have found that using two elastics while using the advanced inner grip technique has provided optimum results. The elastics seem to work better than manually adjusting the push rod. Since this has worked out so well for me I have now added the extra hole in all 6 inch and above size pushrods as of February 14 2010.
