Can't get sock hanger to work..

[goal8X6 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close goal8X6]

Hi all, I am having problems getting the sock hanger to work. this is my 1st time attempting hanging so I'm not 100% sure if im doing everything correctly.
I made the hanger exactly as described by Big Al. When i tie the knot near the base of the penis and when I use weight it seems to slip down to the rim of the glans. When I tie it just tight enough to hold it in place it feels realy tight around the shaft and the glans begins to go cold. Is this normal?
Also , the weight I'm using starting off is 1.5 lbs, it feels like really heavy on the penis/ ligaments , alot more stress than I ever would have done through manual streatching . Again, is this normal?
Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated .
Thank you

I wouldn't bother using it. I used it for a short while as well, but I wasn't happy about it. Cuts off all circulation.

I used two cable clamps to attach it to my shaft. I started with 5 lbs and worked up to 17 libs over three months. I am cut but I attached it several inches above my glans so as it moved down towards my glans as lifted the weights, the remaining foreskin formed a cushion between the clamps and my glans.

What not2big said!!! Take a look in the devices forum sticky threads and check out the captains wench and muzzle hanger. Both are far better than a sock hanger.

I would definitely recommend the captains wrench. Yoy can make one for cheap and have enough material to make morebor use them for something else.

After using the BIB hanger I don't know how anyone hangs with a sock or any other device for that matter, to support all that weight and not slip off

lovePE, the sock hanger is meant to be a device to introduce the user to hanging for a short period, just to get used to hanging with 1-2 LBS.

Thanks for the responses lads, I think I might start with the Captains wench instead of the sock :P . Does anybody know any websites that sell all the materials needed to make the captains wench?

Been using the sock with up to 5lb for hours at a time with no problems. Get an old sweatshirt and cut a 1 inch by 14 inch strip,this is your wrap(note that the non fluffy side seems better on the skin). The next step is to wrap while bunching the skin towards the head of your member.Slide the sock on and with VELCO strap aprox 10 inch length start wrapping from the head back while getting tighter. In my case I dont have any blood flow problems,I think that is due to the way I have my base wrap. I do heavy hand strechting and use 2.5,or 5lb to hold the gains from the work outs.If I stop growing Ill move to a BIB. So far in the last three months I have made great gains with the lower wieghts.

I really think its a good idea for someone to start making captains wrenchs, and other homemade hangers and start selling them for a good markup, with the materials in bulk you could sell them for a lot more then they are worth
