Wolfemother's Progress Log

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

The cotton layer is at the very top of the dome where the valve hole enters. This is where I get my blisters. The cotton ball stopped this. Friction can not be generated in this plain of motion as the interface is being separated by the force of the weights. If you read Donjelqer78's log he mentions micropore tape without any improvements, actually it made things slightly worse for him. I would argue that friction coefficient generated between the micropore tape and polished acrylic is .1 at best. I think the Nexcare tape is fine. The majority of the resistance force is produced by the vacuum. I believe that short sets of 60min max at higher weights prevent blisters.
But as with all PE what works for some does not necessarily work for others...

Wolfemother,

I would advise you abandon using the cotton wool ball as it will greatly reduce the friction achieved by your gland in the dome, and therefore will greatly contribute toward the risk of blistering.

If I understand the friction-vacuum premise correctly, then a thin, breathable adhesive like 3M Micropore tape is up there with the best methods to protect the gland and minimize any pull-back of the gland from the top of the dome. It assumes the role of a second skin, so to speak.

Additionally, I advise an up-and-over taping method rather than spiraling because it allows for a little downward linear movement of the delicate skin just below the gland while in the dome without effecting its overall performance to stay firmly stuck and protect the gland and maintain friction.

I can only discuss wrapping with tape as I have no other experience with alternative wraps. The following is why I advise an up-and-over taping method.

Spiraling a wrap is illogical. While under tension the penis is extending downwards straight and true.
Consider the unique exterior deformation of the extended penis under tension inside the dome and sleeve; the gland expands, lymph fluids are drawn outward, visible edema, creasing of the delicate skin just below the gland. tautening of the skin inside the sleeve, etc. Its a hodgepodge of changes just waiting for an excuse to fire up a blister.

Now, whether using Micropore tape, or Nexcare tape, or whatever other tape on the market, a spiraled wrap's integrity and strength allows for almost zero movement of a force extending downward. Any skin which threatens to edge up against the gland's rim will likely bunch up unevenly and cause discomfort and disturb the performance of the overall wrap. The tape ceases to be a second skin to protect the gland and becomes an obstacle.
For the most part, up-and-over taping ensures that skin movement and bunching inside the dome is even and won't effect the wraps performance since it is moving with the tape, not against it.

I hope that is clear and folks can create a mental snapshot of what I am trying to explain. Its hardly a breakthrough in biologistics, yet I think it makes sense.

Anybody reading my thread that knows where I can get a Silcone Sleeve (Anti Turtle Sleeve) in UK please get in touch. ABSilicone seems to have shutdown?
