I just read the exchange of posts on the YahooRestoration Site. It sounds to me like you were
pretty pissed off about those statements from onemember. And frankly I don't blame you. It sounds
like the guy is cut really tight and doesn't havequite enough skin to use your product comfortably.
I want to let you know after 2 months, I am reallyliking your product and the results so far. The DTR
is really easy to use, goes on and off in a snap and maintains tension at a level that is comfortable (at
least for me) I think its far easier to use than contraptions that have straps and/or tape. I know, I
bought several of them in the past.
You are absolutely right in saying that everyone has to find something that works for them. Having said
that, I think your product is very well made and most important, it works for me.
Thanks very much for inventing it and offering it for sale.
Too bad that guy had problems with the DTR...too bad for him. But don't let that detract from the fact
that DTR is well made and it works and is comfortable. I hope you continue selling the product.
As I have said in my previous emails, feel free to post my comments (anonymously of course) on your web
site.
Regards,
Stephen

( This is an email I got from a guy whose dog ate part of his DTR, I sent him out a new push rod at no cost.
It brings new meaning to the phrase "my dog ate it" )
Chuck -
My DTR is busted (not through any fault of yours - my puppy chewed it up) - how much for a replacement rod and one nylon screw? Would you even do that for me?
Thanks in advance.
Dear chuck -
I'd heard you stand behind your device 100% - while I've seen evidence of this in the meticulous design of your website and your personal testimony, I didn't expect this. The device was damaged not due to poor design, or any material failing on your part, but rather a bored Australian Shepherd. Thank you very much for making this so easy.
Sincerely,
Connor
Hi---
just got it the other day....boy its great. Great product!
I can easily use it....only challenge now is the little bit of scrotal creep I'm getting, probly b/c I don't have a lot of skin yet. Maybe an o-ring would help.
And, its funny cuz it feels surprisingly good putting it on...I was like 'whAAAt??' when I adjusted the tension. hahaha...
Only thing is I have a varicocele so I think I'll start w/half the time per day, or less than that, so my scrotal veins can gradually get used to the tension.
again, thanks for the DTR, and -- thanks for making it!!

"I received your device over the weekend. Have tried it out of course. No Problems, works fine.
During the day at work I use the silicone O-rings like Before (I stack about 7-8).
Thanks. I'm grateful there are guys like you offering their creations to the Rest of us".

"Hi Chuck, Just to let you know that the tugger got here today. I
stopped by the house while on my Delivery route, and put it on during my
lunch hour. Wore it 5 hr. straight, and NO pinching! Well, I'm
pleased to say the least. Your machining of the push to match the
contour of the skin bell is excellent. There is a 'constant'
gripping surface that the "other device" didn't have. Don' t know if you ever
saw one of (name removed) products, but he has no match to the product that
you have designed and made".

April 28,2005 Dear Chuck, Hello, Good Morning, Thanks for your email. I got a device about two weeks ago.
I liked it so much I will order another device. One for home and one for driving or night time.
I hope to hear from you soon. Gerard S.
Thanks for the DTR. I just got to tell you that it's without a doubt, the very best device that I've ever had.
I've tried so many others that didn't work that well or were very uncomfortable,
...but yours is the very best! Now I know that I can start to move forward with some progress.
Thanks again...
Aaron
Picked up your product today. Better than I would have imagined.
Fits like it was made for me. Can't thank you enough. Time to finish what I started so long ago.
I'll update you on my progress. -Randy
I just wanted to say that your DTR has arrived and I am very pleased with it.
I never had something which worked that good, which could stay so long with out annoying too much.
Just brilliant! Again, many thanks! you made me happy!
Michael
Hi chuck,
just to say, I love your device! it works just great, much better than the really expensive stainless steel one I bought some time back.
Thanks again
M Lewis
Hi Chuck, the advice arrived today, it's phantastic! It fits perfect and I'm convinced
that I can get the same tremendous results you've got :-) What a wonderful invention!
Would you break a secret for me and tell me how old you are? Because I've read that the younger you are
the better the growth will take place. I'm 34 years old, so I think that I'm young enough that my skin will
grow in a accurate manner - even with your advice ;-))
Thank you very much for the easy transaction and the quick delivery and good
luck for your restoration project, I'll keep an eye on it on ForeskinRestore.com Regards, Jens
Hi,
Just to let you know I received the device today. Thank you. I have had it on for the last 8 hours or so -
I really hardly notice it is there. Regards,
Jason
Chuck : I got the DTR on the 6may2005,what a difference it is. The restore process is much faster now, I threw the (name removed) away and don't need the (name removed) tugger either. How can I help you get the DTR on the market this beats everything out there.
mike
I am very pleased with the device. I do have a question, though. Would it be useful for me to buy an extra one of those flexible gripper thingies with the holes in it? That's the part that's most likely-seeming to wear out. I would like to be able to pass this device to my grandsons, because, in spite of my bitter arguments, my son had them both circumcised!
Tom
Hi Chuck,
Just wanted to let you know that I received my package yesterday. Also I just wanted to thank you because I have tried tape and the (name removed) neither of which worked well at all for me. The tape is not only not very cost effective because you have to keep buying it at $2-3 per week, it was just too harsh and kept causing skin tears. The (name removed), after you get good at putting it on where it will stay on, not only causes pinching but also chaffing and blistering on my skin. Even the cone alone would cause skin problems for me. It only took me a few minutes of working with your device to get good at putting it on. It is light weight, compact, or Simi compact until I can push the rod in a bit more, and quite comfortable. I can't even tell that it is there. Today will be the a good test as I am planning to wear it all day at work.
Chuck, your a god of inventors, thank you so much. I was beginning to believe that there was just not going to be a way for me to effectively restore until I found your website. You have given me hope and inspiration because I need this restoration so desperately due to loss of sensitivity. You are my hero.
Again, Thank You,
Keith
It's now about 1 month that I'm using your restoring device - good results so far! Really clever idea of the
holes in the gripper - makes a big difference, so long as the skin's not oily.
Looking for full coverage soon (not a reality, but a dream).
Thanks for your ingenuity.
John K
Chuck, It's been 6 weeks since I started using your DTR. Progress is
noticeably rapid and I'm delighted! W.H
I have been trying to think of a way to accomplish what the auto tension does, and all my concepts were too complicated to wear under clothing. This one is simple and trivial to implement.
Thanks for posting this modification.
Incidentally, I am really amazed at my own progress since using the DTR. It is the most comfortable and most effective device I have tried.
Frank
Hello. I just have receive the DTR last Friday. I just wanted to tell you that it's a wonderful device and I love it very much. I used to use the (name removed) but your device is better for me. I love the auto-tension on the device. Your device is very easy to clean.
In brief, you have designed a wonderful device and I just wanted to tell you thank you for making it available to order through the web,
Thank you again.
Raphael, 29 years old, restoring since 5 years
I got the DTR today. I have worn it for a few hours, and it is working wonderfully so far - great grip on the skin and lots of stretching going on! Thanks for the hard work.
Jonathan
Just wanted to let you know that I received my DTR yesterday, at least a day or two before I expected it.
It fits great! No slipping off problems as with a other similar product I have been used.
I tried it out for the first time last night for a few hours and felt confident enough to wear it to work today. No problem removing it at the office urinal. It was pinching a bit so I did not reapply after my first pee at work (about 4hrs). I think I was using a bit too much tension. I just have to get that right. I'll try to find some longer rubber bands tomorrow. I'm trying the "set" tension right now and it is very comfortable.
I'm going to try the tugger set up (down the leg) tonight.
In my opinion this is a well designed and made device. I'll let you know in a week or so how things are going.
Thanks for helping the rest of us,
Bernie
I received my DTR from you this past Saturday, and I have one word for it "Awesome". I have found the DTR easier to put on in the morning, unlike some of the other restoring devices I have tried and shelved. I also no longer have to fiddle around with my restoring device in the men's room when nature calls, the DTR comes off lightning fast and goes back on just as quick. The DTR is very comfortable to wear, and is completely invisible under my clothing whether I am wearing a pair of dress slacks or kicking around in a pair of shorts. Can't thank you enough for this wonderful piece of craftsmanship.
Sincerely,
Bill from New Jersey
I got my DTR yesterday when I got home from work. That was quick! You know
how it is when you're anticipating sticking your dick into something new for
a couple days. haha. I love it. It's quite a contraption! Great
craftsmanship, it's really comfortable and gives a good tug. I'm sure it
will be happy with it for some time. I'm 100% satisfied.
thanks
Gary
I feel very fortunate to have found out about your product the Dual Tension Restorer. I found your website in the files section of the 'support for restoring men' Yahoo group homepage. I started out using tape when I discovered that I could actually 'grow' my foreskin back after being cut as an infant. The tape gave me a start but I soon found that the tape was causing irritation on my skin and pulled and twisted causing bruising and pain. So I knew I had to find something else if I was going to engulf on this journey. After seeing your product on your website and reading how you made the device and how it works, I was sold immediately! The cost didn't really matter because I knew it was the best product being offered on the net or anywhere else, and trust me, I researched allot before finding your site. Well needless to really say... I wasn't disappointed! The purchase was seamless and quick. I started using the DTR right away but found it a bit difficult at first because of my lack of skin and pretty tight cut, anyway, once I got the hang of it and learned what was working for me as a rookie restorer - I began using as a tugger with a rubber tube wrapped around my waist. There was some pain from the constant tugging all day so started alternating tugging and just simply wearing the DTR as a retainer without auto tension or tugging. Alternating as I described and using the vitamin e lotion you recommended has worked amazingly well, I am to the point now, after 3 months, that I can use device with the auto tension attachment and also alternate with the other options. Options, that is one of the best things about the DTR, you can tug, use auto, or just use a retainer! Unbelievable, you are the KING for coming up with a device that is virtually indestructible, versatile, cleans and stores easily, not to mention support after the sale and updates on your website, you offer the 'whole' package at a reasonable price. For anyone considering restoring, they would be amiss if they looked any further then the DTR to accomplish their goal.
Thanks for everything! I wish you all the best!
Sincerely, very satisfied customer,
Jeff
Hi Chuck I received the restorer yesterday and I needed to say how amazed I am by your invention. There are so many methods I have tried, even the most expensive ones and none of them come close to the DTR. One word describes it... Priceless! I am grateful to have found you and your website. I wish you an amazing success with this and hope you get recognition like a noble prize or something cause you really deserve it. Sincerely, Denis
Hi Chuck,
My DTR arrived today, and all I can say is you are a genius. It is so easy to put on and the comfort level is like no other device I have used. The DTR will be the last device I have to buy in restoring my foreskin. Now all I will do is wear my DTR until my goal is reached. May I inquire as to how long per day do you wear it to achieve your results? Feel free to use my comments and picks to promote the DTR.
Tim,
Chuck
Just to let you know I received the DTR today.
I am very impressed with the build quality of the device - much better than I had anticipated!
I look forward to some early success and will keep you posted.
Thanks for the time and effort you have invested in designing and developing what I believe to easily be the best product/method on the market!!
I wish you every success.
Pete.
Hi Chuck,
Just letting you know that I received my DTR today and tried it out straight away. It sure is very comfortable to wear and it very easy to get on and off once you get used to it. I really did expect some discomfort from it but I can't really feel it at all. I checked your notes and see that you don't recommend it's use at night so will follow what you have here.
I am amazed at how easy it all is as this is my first attempt at restoring and luckily I am not too tightly cut and do have some skin to play with.
Will let you know how things progress
Thanks
Peter
Chuck,
Just to let you know I'm still using your DTR daily, and noticing steady
results. Started 4-16-05 w/ the DTR (began w/ RECAP-EZ on 3-14-99, then
later tried O-rings on 4-15-04).
So glad to have found your DTR. Progress is noticeably faster; looking at
YOUR 6-month progress photos, that's about where I am now, even after 6
years w/ other methods. Notice that your progress seemed to accelerate as
more and more skin was formed. Hope I do as well.
Thanks!
Six months have gone by quickly and easily. Looking forward
to even more progress in the next six months!
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ACHIEVING YOUR TWO YEAR GOAL. LOOKS GREAT.
INSPIRING.

This letter is from a DTR user who wanted to add more comments to this page.
The device has a rather large benefit in that it minimizes the shaft skin area that is engaged
in gripping the device. In theory, the ultimate stretching device would engage only an infinitely
thin line of skin thereby allowing the maximum amount of shaft skin to be place under tension.
The opposite of this would be a t-tape where the width of the take that is attached to the skin is
not under tension. These are the two extremes. Of course, for the theoretical case, a much lower
amount of tension could be applied to the infinitely thin circle to which tension is applied due to skin tearing that would certainly occur. With this device, the maximum amount of shaft skin under tension maximizes progress, all other things being equal.
The grooves on the outer surface of the bell provide a very good gripping situation while causing
no discomfort. In engineering terms, these grooves are what are called the `phonographic effect?.
The circles in the outer gripper provide traction too, although their edges are somewhat `sharp?
and are the only source of discomfort with this device.
I started a few years ago with the t-tape system and it provided the greatest unit growth
per unit time tugging. It was a PITA in the shower room at the gym or in bed with the sweetie,
so as soon as the recap softie EZ came along, I was very happy. It provided good progress,
but sitting and standing during the day would alternate tension and growth was reduced.
Same with the Tug Ahoy. Both these devices would over time slip off. They had to be cleaned
and brushed to keep the accumulation of body oils from glazing their contact surfaces and reducing
the gripping capability. In this device the grooves and holes prevent that from happening.
The outer gripper with the holes is a bit tough to get on at first, but after a few times,
it goes on quite easily, and it is a delight to be able to see the maximization of shaft skin
under tension.
At first, I thought the simple rubber band would not apply enough tension, but it does!
It basically takes the stretch to the limit. After applying the device and manually pushing
the pusher down inside the shaft skin, the band keeps the stretch at near the maximum point.
One can always extend the pusher manually to see if more penetration is allowable and then tighten
the screw and hold that tension independent of the elastic band. Very good design.
Break or loose the elastic band? No problem!
Nighttime erections are not a problem. It just pulls off the glans and falls to the sheets--,
no problem here.In short, this is a great design and after having tried all and I mean ALL the
others, this design is the most well thought out, the easiest to use, and the most effective device
to use. BTW, if the band starts to loose its elasticity, one need only twist the shaft of the
device and the tension goes up!
As for the discomfort caused by the edges of the round holes in the outer gripper,
I simply turned the gripper inside out (from the way it was shipped to me), and the pain is gone.
Now I can wear it 24/7 with no discomfort. BTW, I rotate the shaft of the device so that the
elastic band is twisted thereby increasing the tension it applies.
This accommodates loss of elasticity of the band and also allows for skin growth since the
progressing growth of shaft skin means, that elastic `push? is likewise diminied.
I usually put a few drops of vitamin E on the pusher and then apply the device.
This could not be done with any other device without causing a great loss of grip.
It does not seem to bother your design.
Improvements?
I would like to see a larger pusher (part that contacts the glans end)
to more fully encircle and perhaps even engulf the glans so that part of the rim is not bent
back over the outer edge of the pusher. I have a normal size glans, but it is uncomfortable
when it rolls over the edge of the pusher. I would be delighted to fund an experiment for you to make a larger pusher piece.
Thanks for your efforts!
Hi Chuck,
Just wanted to let you know that I received the DTR over a week ago and have been using it every day. After 8 months using the ( name removed), I am already seeing some positive results with the DTR. It is great!....very comfortable....and extremely easy to apply and disengage. The workmanship is top notch. You were right....I probably won't use the ( name removed) anymore. Thanks for putting such a great product out there for all of us interested in restoration.

Chuck -
The device is working well, with no issues. Great work!

Hi all,
Here is a quick report of my observations after wearing the DTR for the
first week. (6 days)
My initial reaction to the device is that it larger than I imagined.
However, it fits quite well. I was concerned that I would not be able
to hide it under my pants but it turns out that is not a problem at all.
I wear it to work under loose fitting denim jeans.
The quality of the craftsmanship is excellent.
The initial installation was quite simple (I have a lot of extra skin
though- I have been restoring for 5+ years). However, I found it was
very easy to apply too much tension. Applying too much tension causes
the device to stick straight out from the body and the glans will start
to ache in a couple of minutes. Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to
hide under loose fitting denim pants when installed with this much
tension.
The rubber band is a great way to keep tension from getting too extreme.
Simply install the device and loosen the set screw. The rubber band
will apply a firm amount of tension. However, I had to remove the brand
new rubber band and stretch it out by hand several time to reduce the
tension. The brand new rubber band was much too tight for me.
I really like the rubber band as a tensioning device. Today I wore the
device for about 10 hours. Towards the end of the day when I
re-installed the device after using the bathroom I could feel the
plunger slowly creeping down for about 5 minutes as the skin relaxes.
The rubber band was automatically adjusting the tension while I was
sitting at my desk.
The first three days I was only able to wear the device for 2-4 hours
because I was applying too much tension and the silicone keeper pinched
the skin. By the 4th day the silicon keeper had stretched a bit and I
was able to wear the device for 10 hours with very little discomfort.
There was some stinging on the skin (even today) were the silicon keeper
digs in too tight. I simply re-installed the device with a different
portion of skin under the keeper. I am going to try to stick with the
10-12 hours of tension per day regime.
From my limited time with the device (6 day to be exact) I am very
pleased and I hope to continue using it for a long time. I will provide
another update after a couple of months. (or sooner if some event
warrants it.)
Bye everyone and KOT,
Matt

Hello Chuck.
I am dropping a line very quick just to let you know that you can use my comments anytime. Has been 2 weeks since I stared using the device, I have to tell you that even though it could be very early I already see some changes. I been using the DTR for a least 8 consecutive hours with the auto tension and once in a while I use a 10oz weight. I really believe I will have dramatic changes in a short time. Soon I will start taking pictures of my progress; I will send them to you and for sure you can use them as well.
Thanks
carlos
Testimonies continue......
Hi again haven't messaged since September. I feel an update is in order.
I got the DTR in the first week in September and now I'm in my 6th month of restoring in total! Been using the DTR close to 6-7 days a week, between 4-12 hours a day on varying tensions.
I cannot thank you enough for your initial advice and reassurance because it just motivated me to stop thinking too far ahead and to just focus on getting through each day.
I wanted to mention quickly the progress I've made now. My forced erect coverage was between 5-10% of the glans before I started, and it's now 25%! I'm so impressed with this and the skin mobility during any kind of stimulation is a real nice surprise.
My inner foreskin has grown a nice amount, and the hair at the base of my penis now doesn't go up the shaft as much. I am now a solid CI-4, since the corona is practically always covered and if not the bunching of skin around it is very prominent. I started at about a CI-2.5. So this is more than I could have expected. My frenulum and inner foreskin sensitivity has greatly increased too, I use the no holed silicone gripper as my 24/7 retainer when not restoring :)
Also I have over the past couple of weeks began using the 6" rod with one elastic (since the 4" one elastic was perfect for my size, so I wound the elastics round the screws as the skin grew, but eventually the rod was as far as it could be pushed). So now looking forward to more steady growth with the 6" rod - I tried it a few times earlier on but it felt like it was putting far too much tension on everything, so now surely that it's totally comfortable this is a very good sign of "growing into the device" :)
So yes just another customer of yours who is still very happy and the DTR is firmly part of my daily life now. Cannot thank you enough for your innovation and motivation yourself to restore and help so many others. Wanted to congratulate you on your continued progress, the update to your website, and your idea to convert the DTR to air tension - very impressive stuff!
Honestly I can't tell you how satisfied I am with this DTR. You have an amazing product here and although I haven't had it on for more than 2 hours I can diffidently tell that the strong grip on my skin will rarely come loose. The tension is great. I really love this product and I am very very happy being your customer. I am so happy that I will keep you updated on my restoration. Josh
Well I've had my DTR a week now, and thought you might like some feedback....it is by far the most comfortable restoring device I've tried....the other 2 being: CAT II and TLC tugger...not only is yours more comfortable...in can be used in so many different ways....incredible design....and most importantly...I have yet to have it "fall off"...the others I've tried always came off after a while due to perspiration and my pants rubbing against it....that has not happened at all with the DTR...perhaps it's because of the holes in the outside part...though whatever the case me be...it stays on...
So, thanks again...and great job!-- All the best,Eric
Well Happy New year Chuck and I thought it would be a good time to write to you. Im 4 weeks in. I want to say your device is nothing short of genius. From such a simple design, an intricate function is achieved. I want to thank you so much, and I love the device. It was weird to use and a bit uncomfortable for a week, until I wore it in I guess. Now it slips on quick and the gripper surpassed all my expectations. I'm only going to track my progress starting from now. I was a Cl-1 without a doubt. I am a Cl-2. I should mention that I done a bit of t-tape before.I will keep you posted and thank you soo much again. The item is worth three times the price. I see you started selling the DTR on Ebay. Well done and congratulations on the sales. Your device deserves nothing less than to be known. I can definately feel a differencein the skin since using it for 4 weeks now, and I can see some conclusive results but only when flacid. I plan to track my progress from now, considering it's 2011. I commend you for your intuition and creativity. The device is nothing short of remarkable.If there is one suggestion I could make is that you make two holes into the small push rod. Feel free to post this on your site.Thank you, and I will hopefully keep you posted over time.Nauar
