Push plates
Men with a intact frenulum might want to consider a notched plate.
A frenulum that connects to the glans would benefit from a notched plate.

There are threee push plates, standard , notched and conform.
Standard plates are what most DTR users use.
Standard plates are what most DTR users use.
The push plate presses against the glans and allows the DTR to be used in dual tension.
Dual tension is the push/pull effect on a bi-directional restoring device. This is a method of restoring that allows the user not have to rely on a tugging strap to create tension. This allows for a more convenient and discrete way to restore since it is self contained and easily worn under clothing such as shorts.

The push plate is what presses against the glans of the penis when using dual tension method.
The picture on the right shows an uncut penis with the an intact frenulum. While many men who get circumcised lose this ,some men still have them and some are more pronounced than others. This skin bridge sometimes gets more pressure on it when using a standard plate resulting in discomfort that slows the restoring process since the user uses less tension to relieve the discomfort.
I call these "conform" plates because they do conform to the glans better then a standard push plate. The only draw back is more skin in needed to use them.
Advanced push plate
The push plate shown here is the answer to many requests I have gotten in the past years to make a deep push plate. The idea behind these plates is to distribute the pressure from using higher tensions over a larger surface on the glans and not press against them the way a standard push plate can do.
The plate is about 3 times deeper then a normal plate and has a wide notch. The notch is needed since it tends to press the glans on a slight angle. Since the glans on a penis is usually shaped like a helmet the plate was shaped to conform more to the natural shape of the glans.
As you can see here the plate is much longer then a standard plate. More skin in needed to use these plates and are more for the advanced restorer.
The size of these plates are about the same size as the bell on a DTR. The standard plate is just under 34.00 mm wide. The conform plate is 38.00 mm wide.
All push plates are always available on the parts page .
There is an option to choose one of the three style push plates when ordering a DTR kit.
