    I just don't like the cap, I find it a hindrance. I find it a lot more comfortable to wear it without the cap, The only trouble with that is that it causes a few red dots on the glans, so I figure that wrapping will give me the same comfort but without the risk of red dots or blisters.

    I don't think it will be a problem to fit the bell, I plan to wrap erect then go soft before entering the bell so the wrap will be able to expand.

    For me comfort wins over convenience.

      After wearing for a long time(total of around 12-14 hrs a day with 2 or 3 intervals for urination), has anyone experienced a kinda slight irritation/itching feeling at around the shaft especially near the gland or at the place whereby the condom is covering the shaft?? What could be causing this??

        Hey BBBB, my shaft sometimes feels a little itchy/irritated with extended use. I guess the skin might be getting stretched or sometimes I find it gets pinched when sucked up between the protector cap and condom. I try to pull down on the shaft skin when applying the protector cap and rolling down the condom to avoid this.

          One Month Measurement:

          Today, it has been one month since I started using the Phallosan and I couldn't any longer resist taking a measurement. I used the device for about 10 hours a day at the upper edge of the green tension mark with only one day off, and I'd been noticing some encouraging signs of growth: from increasing my condom size back to the medium after trying the small and having trouble fitting into the medium bell, to the sense my dick looks and feels bigger in proportion to my hands, and there have even been a couple times where I've gotten turned on just looking in the mirror by the appearance that it's bigger.

          All of these impressions might have given me unrealistic expectations for the measurements. My bpsfl has pretty clearly increased by about 1/8" but any change in my bpel isn't discernible enough to reliably exceed the margin of error for positioning the ruler or differences in eq. So frankly I'm disappointed that I can't point to any concrete erect length gains yet, but realistically, I'm probably measuring too early and any growth is encouraging (albeit slower than I'd started to hope).

          Stay tuned, I'll measure again next month!

            Traveling:

            For the past week I've been visiting some friends and only wore the device after going to bed and while sleeping. While I wasn't able to get as many total hours, it was good to get more experience with wearing the device at night. Previously, I only wore the device to bed if I wasn't able to get my 10 hours during the day, but I might decide to wear it for a few hours at night more frequently.


            First Broken Condom:

            I only brought one condom with me on my trip and of course that's when it decided to break. I've only been using the device for 5 weeks and 2 of those weeks I used the small condom so my medium condom only lasted for about 3 weeks. The condom tore at the ribbed edge as I tried to roll it up over the bell. I was able to cut off the torn part so it was uniform and only about a quarter inch shorter and it worked alright for the rest of my week away. Thankfully, my 3 free voucher condoms had arrived in the mail while I was gone and were waiting for me when I got back.


            Mail Packaging for Replacement Condoms:

            My 3 free condoms arrived in a white padded envelope. It was discreet enough for me (living alone), but the customs sticker does say "silicone" which might prompt some questions about its contents if a roommate or partner received the package.

              hey do what works best man its about comfort with this stuff if it feels better with out it then just tape. i just find that inconvenient when out at the mall or a movie stuff like that. plus i like the cap but everyone is different.

                no but like anything if you sweat down there and it is in an inclosed space you could get jock itch and this cause drying of the skin or it could be a slight heat rash from heat sweat and wearing it at long intervals. the same stuff girls use for yeast infections is use for jock itch so i would get the cream and apply it 2 times per day for a week see if that cures it as well clean the condom and cap daily.

                  Petechiae:

                  Had a few red dots at the tip of my glans around the urethra yesterday, but they've already started to clear up. I was trying the large bell again and I think the increased vacuum contributed to the burst capillaries.

                    You can still wear the large bell even if it's too big for you just make sure you also wear the protector cap to protect you from the increased vacuum.

                      Thanks DreamOn, but I do use the protector cap. Haven't had any issues with petechiae until now, and this was just a few dots. I'm not really concerned, just wanted to mention it and that it is resolving quickly for me.

                      I'm sort of between sizes with the bells. It's sometimes hard to get my glans in the medium, but I'm going to keep using it for now.

                        I have the same problem too and I sticked with the large bell I actually gained .3 inch of girth from using the large bell I'm not sure how permanent this is because I only measured right now hopefully it stays lol

                          I also had this one time and like you, it cleared up very quickly (as in, by the next day it was gone). It happened to me when I switched bell sizes but only that first time. It's good you noted it for completeness but I think you are right in your assessment that it's not something to really be concerned about - more just something to be aware of. Love your thread by the way, very thoughtful assessment of this device.

                            Better Stretch:

                            In a previous post (titled Traction Force) I considered how the friction of the device pressed against the body might impact how the net force pulling on the penis compares to the traffic light tension values listed on the phallosan website.

                            For the past couple days, I've changed how I put on the device and it feels like it's giving me a little better stretch.

                            After putting my penis through the foam ring, pulling out and swinging my penis over toward my hip and attaching the tension clip, I've now been pulling a little on the vacuum bell to stretch just a little farther toward my hip and make sure I can feel the stretch where it's positioned before then adjusting the tension to be at the high green level I always use. This way, the friction of the bell pressing against my body goes more toward holding the penis in the extended position.

                            Does that make sense? You guys might already be doing this as it's kind of intuitive but I hadn't really thought about it until now.

                              Yep that's how I've been wearing my PF I make sure that the tension or pull is focused more on the bell than any other part of the belt to maximize the tension and pull.

                                Yes, that's exactly what I've been doing to solve this potential issue that you raised earlier in this thread. I also adjust that periodically to make sure I'm still getting a good stretch (In other words pull the bell farther on my hip in case it has slid back somewhat every hour or two). Seems like a good idea to me
