Canister/strap method

Another tugging option is the classic strap/canister method. This method works well for people just starting out restoring who don't have enough skin to use the TLC-X or DTR. PVC fittings provide a firm, smooth surface on which to tug.

Building Supplies

1. PVC Coupling or reducer big enough for your glans but small enough to stretch skin over. It should fit over about 90% of the glans

2. Binder Clip, Large

3. 1/8" drill bit

4. Drill

5. Hose clamp big enough to fit around the fitting

6. Strap (TLC tugger or equivalent)

7. KT and regular (non stretchy) athletic tape
8. Coarse grit sand paper or other sanding tool
9. Pliers (if necessary)

Building Instructions:
1. Drill out holes near the top of the fitting for the binder clip. The holes should be directly across from each other and be at about the same height.
2. Widen binder clip (if necessary) with pliers
3. Sand off any sharp edges with sandpaper or a sanding tool
4. Insert binder clip and use

Usage instructions:
1. Clean device with soap and water before every use.
2. Insert binder clip
3. Tape skin as described in my other blogs
4. Clamp the TAPE ONLY with the clamp facing the opposite side of your leg (This prevents the clamp from digging into your skin)
5. Attach the strap to the binder clip
6. Use the strap to find the correct tension and wrap the strap around your leg in whatever fashion works for you. Secure the strap
7. Go about your day

Urination instructions:
1. Release the strap from the binder clip
2. clamp the strap to your pants to prevent the strap from unraveling.
3. Remove binder clip
4. Urinate sitting down (because it may shoot in a random direction)
5. Re-apply the binder clip and strap
6. continue with your day
