Protector Cap (Silicone Cap) + Shoelace = Best Protection for Vacuum Hanging

[Drake777 Member Find all posts View Profile Close Drake777]

Well I haven't received my silicon cap yet but I wanted to try hanging with my foreskin over my glans. Oh boy! My foreskin completely blew up. It looks like a hot air balloon right now. My glans is better protected than Fort Knox no doubt about that but who's going to protect my poor foreskin lol. I was using the medium bell from VH3 which is a little bit big for me. Something has to take up that space in the vacuum I guess. I thought that i was my head that was going to swell up, I guessed wrong. I was also planning on only doing a 30 minute set but I was feeling a really great stretch in the ligs with no discomfort whatsoever so I pushed it to an hour.

Later tonight when the swelling from edema subsides I will try the smaller bell and limit my set to see how that goes but so far it felt great. I definitely felt like I could have doubled the weight. Currently at 6lbs and planning to add 1lbs per week.

I bought a silicone cap from eBay and I tried this method but again, I feel such an intense burning stretch in my pubic skin that I can't use it for more than 5 minutes. It just pulls to much skin as opposed to the penis itself.

I'm not saying it doesn't work but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

PurpleOnes, could you please explain step by step how you attach your hanger using the silicone cap? I read you were using tape as well? How?

My observations:

My foreskin is really sensitive. Hanging in air was a disaster. My foreskin really swelled up. I tried hanging with water in the chamber and it was a bit better with Edema. Very similar to the effect of pumping with air vs water. I also switched to a smaller bell so my foreskin didn't have as much room to expand.

Finally received the silicone caps from ebay mentioned a few pages back. At first it was really difficult to get on holding with one hand and foreskin with the other as described by DreamOn. Like YKM mentioned previously the cap kind of sits a bit loose at the top and my foreskin swelled a little bit but nowhere as bad as before.

What I just did is apply it using both hands to stretch it over the penis. It helps to get an erection and possibly using a cock ring or band to maintain the erection while you apply the silicone cap. I am currently doing a marathon run. 3 sets of 30 minutes and now have the hanger attached via a bungee around my neck in an upward position. My ligs are really really sore. I just hope my dick doesn't fall off. No discomfort whatsoever. Not sure if I should remove the hanger to let my penis breath in between sets or not.

I noticed that I get a BETTER stretch with the foreskin over the glans. Doesn't make any sense but it is what it is. With the glans exposed my head gets sore due to the vacuum pressure and I can't hang for very long.

If you're getting a lot of skin stretching you might need to leave a little bit of slack and not bunching it all up into the silicone cap? I don't know, I have a lot of foreskin and extra skin in general so I can play around with it. It's both a blessing and a curse. You may just need to stretch a bit of skin first. I know Bib talked about going though two week periods of just skin stretching with the bib hanger.

I also have the yellow constriction sleeve from monkeybars. It's the same length as the silisone cap (2.4") but different in every other way.

I used to use tape do not need to with this method.

Well it's better to get erect or close to erection first. Then you put your foreskin over the glans closing it sort of.

You expand the protector cap from the sides and put it over the foreskin. I usually go and close my glans with my foreskin from sides. After that I just put my penis inside the chamber and apply pressure.

OP provided pictures it is not hard to do.

Well in the previous page you mentioned using tape to secure the condom. I was wondering if you still found that beneficial or not. So do you and DreamOn not get any edema at all? My foreskin inflates like a balloon anytime it's under vacuum. I don't know if this is normal or I'm just doing something wrong.

Ever since I started hanging this has been my protection method and while I don't notice any noticeable foreskin growth I surely made BPEL and FL gains.

Are you circumcised?

It depends some sessions I do and so sessions i do not get any edema it varies. I can say that it is much less than with my previous wrapping method.

Do a compression wrap of the area with Tender Tape after your hang session.

I know this is an older thread and feel free to delete my comment mods if needed.

I wanted to know if anyone still used this method or if it was proven to work better or worse than pulling the foreskin back.

My glans are awfully sore after being in the vacuum chamber and I think I've finally fully recovered from the tiny blood blister I had weeks ago.

I'd like to try this method instead but only if it works.

Similar method was used by Dr Ric. You can find the pics and video in LG blog .
I do a similar way , pinch the skin , tape it and put a glans cap on. This gives me a tight vacuum seal .

The only problem is skin moved to front . I have asked Marlon the same question in rep support thread .

The LG Hanger blog? You don't happen to have a link do you?

I think I'll try extending with this method today for half an hour. I just dread the idea of getting a blister again. And if this method works then awesome.

Edit: I think I found it

I finally took the time to make this thread to share my success with vacuum hanging to the forums.

I have tried to explain my methods and setup to the forums in the past but a lot of members struggled to understand my explanations. So I finally took pictures so that every one can now see what I will be explaining in this thread so that every thing will now be clear to understand for every one.

I use an LG hanger for my vacuum hanging and it is an excellent hanger and very comfortable, but when I started hanging I did not use the standard method of protection that most vacuum hangers use which is some type of tape for wrapping around the glans and a Velcro strap attached on the silicone sleeve to support and hold the vacuum.

I did not like the idea of using tape especially since you can run out of it and you'll have to buy more once you've used it all up. And, the Velcro strap was a good idea but it's not as good as it should be so I thought there could be better options out there.

The protector cap is frowned upon here on the forums especially by the "experienced" hangers because most people use it the "normal" way which if used as intended will definitely not get you far from vacuum hanging. The reason why people would get blisters from the protector cap or any similar silicone cap when it comes to hanging is because they will just wear it as intended which is to put it on the penis head to protect it from vacuum. But if it's worn exactly like that then chances are the head is still expose to the pressure and once edema builds up on the glans then there goes your blister or worse than that a blood blister.

Not even poking a needle hole on the protector cap will save you from the blister (which is I'm highly against because poking a needle hole on your cap is destroying it and that hole can potentially get larger). This is what most people do when they try to use the protector cap for protection which most of the time doesn't work for them especially after they get to a certain weight.

Now I will explain and show you my method of how to properly use the protector cap which in my honest opinion is the best possible "wrap" that is available to us on the market. If taken care properly this cap can be use for a lifetime and you will never have to worry about running out and buying a wrap ever again. And the protector cap is also hassle free because it's easy as just putting it on your penis and you are good to go never having to worry about certain "techniques" of wrapping properly like the tape.

The protector cap is actually not what we will use as the primary protection from vacuum and pressure but the skin. The skin in my opinion is the best ever protection we can possibly have for vacuum hanging it will protect your glans from all possible injuries and though the protector cap will act as a secondary layer of protection it's main role is to "hold things together" as I will try to explain to you guys.

With my method I highly recommend to have an erection whenever applying my technique because it will definitely be much more easier compared to doing this in the flaccid state and also this method works with either circumcised or uncircumcised penis though it is definitely more favorable on the uncircumcised penis due to having more foreskin than a circumcised one.

First, get your protector cap or any thing similar like a cap style silicone that MB sells and put your fingers in the cap so that it's ready when you are about to put it on the penis.

Second, get a full erection and then gently pull the foreskin towards the glans until you are able to entirely put the foreskin over the glans and the glans is "buried" in the foreskin.

Third, once the glans is properly buried in the skin you can now put on the protector cap but as you put it on make sure to keep the glans buried and once the protector cap is on the penis it will now hold everything still keeping the glans from popping out of the foreskin.

Lastly, you can now enter the hanger and roll down the silicone sleeve and pump away, once you get a decent pressure then tie a shoelace around the silicone sleeve tightly to securely keep and hold the vacuum in the hanger (but not too tight to the point that you will cut off circulation this is something you'd have to experiment and feel for until you find the right amount of tightness that works for you).

The shoelace is 10x much more better than the Velcro strap because you can tighten it more compared to the limits of the Velcro strap.

Now, since the head is hidden/buried inside the skin the weight/pressure will not be directed to the head but instead the foreskin so no matter how heavy the weight gets the head will be protected from pressure and fluid build up eliminating any chance of blisters. It's not really the protector cap that is protecting the glans but the skin itself the cap is just there to hold it buried inside the skin. With this method no matter how heavy the weight is the glans will be protected from all possible injuries. The ultimate protection is the skin and the protector cap's only purpose is to hold every thing in place. I have gone as high as 15 lbs with my method but I believe it can easily work with any weight even as high as 30 lbs and above.

No wrap will be able to beat this method if you guys understood my explanations. Buuuuuuuut if you guys still did not fully understand my setup I have now pictures on my album in order showing it step by step.

So check out this link and make sure to click on the first picture first as it is a step by step order: https://www.pegym.com/forums/members...m-hanging.html

Awesome write-up. How long are you in the bell at a time and how much hanging are you doing per day with this method? I love the LG but I've always gotten blisters if I go above 10lbs 2 hours per day, which has essentially caused me to stay away from using it for anything other than stretching. Blisters suck. I must've had a dozen by now over several years trying and failing with the LG, and I just don't want to end up messing up my glans from another one.

I guess the only other consideration is whether or not one who is circumcised would want to have skin reintroduced over the penis, as I'm sure could happen over time with extended use of this method.
