Building Services:
If you don't have the capability or skill to make one of these devices, I can help. If you send me dimensions I can create a device for you and send you a kit with instructions. My manufacturing capabilities are limited at the moment, but I can create one custom for you.
From you, I'd need:
-What type of device you'd like (Canister, set screw, rubber band, or combination)
- Measurement of the circumference of the glans (flaccid)
- Measurement of the circumference of the shaft (flaccid)
-CI coverage number. (google foreskin coverage index)
-Some $cash money$ for parts, labor, and shipping. I will provide a parts list and cost per part once I acquire all necessary parts. (total cost should be somewhere around $30)
-list of all supplies you'd like me to include (tape, rubber bands, binder clips, etc)*
*I cannot include TLC products in my kit. These products are sold by Ron Low at tlctugger.com. This includes straps, tugger bodies, retaining cones, etc.

Skin Stress Concentration (advanced methods):
I have found that in addition to using one of my other tugging methods, using a retaining ring or velcro strip pushing towards the body will increase the amount of tension on the outer skin.
Set Screw/Rubber Band Method:
With the Set screw or rubber band method, no straps are required. Wrap the velcro strip around the shaft tight enough so that the glans and pusher may not push through the velcro. This will concentrate the tension on the outer skin. Make sure to use the soft side of the velcro facing inwards.
Without the velcro strip, there is more skin from the base of the shaft to compensate for the tension of the device. The velcro strip makes the device pull the outer skin up, rather than pushing the inner skin inwards as much. Stress diagram for without the velcro is below.
Strap Tugging Method:
With the strap tugging method, I use a method that I call 'reverse tension'. It involves using straps to secure a ring of PVC fitting or velcro and push towards the body. This method will prevent the skin close to the base of the shaft from growing and will concentrate the tension on the shaft skin. This method requires two straps in addition to the tugging strap.
Directions:
1. Apply the ring then apply your device.
2. Use three 6" strips of athletic tape to create a place for the straps to attach.*
3. Put the tape inside the ring with the ring halfway up the strip of tape.
4. Bring the ends together and they'll stick together.
5. Using the straps, attach one end of the strap to one of the three pieces of tape.
6. Wrap the strap around your abdomen and secure the other end like in the photo below to increase the tension.

7. for the second strap, attach the strap to the last piece of tape and wrap the strap behind you to your back, over your shoulder and secure it on itself.
*If using velcro for a ring, still use the tape as it will be easier to secure the straps to. Athletic tape can also be used as a ring.
>The idea behind using both straps is to provide a balanced tension on all sides of the ring. If you've done everything correctly, your penis should be centered and have adequate tension on the ring.
Notes (all methods):
1. Velcro is the better option usually because it can be removed easily in case of an erection or to urinate easier.
2. Try different things for the ring. Strap method rings should be sturdy, rounded, and easily removed. Pusher method rings should be able to vary the size, soft, stretchable, and easily removed.
3. Velcro rolls are available at Walmart in the electrical section for about $7.

Taping instructions:
1. Buy some KT and ACE athletic tape
2. Cut a strip of the KT tape in half so that you have 5" strip
3. Cut off part of each strip so that each strip is about 1-1/4" wide
4. Remove the paper backing of one strip and wrap it around the bottom of the coupling with the adhesive facing out
5. Take a 10" strip of full width tape and remove the backing. If desired, reduce the adhesive a bit by putting the tape on your pants or something before applying it.
6. Take the PVC coupling and put it on your glans with the set screw at the top.
7. Pull the skin of the shaft over the tape and hold it in place
8. Apply the 10" strip so that it covers BOTH the skin and a bit of the thinner tape.
9. Wrap the tape around uniformly and tightly
10. Take a strip of the regular athletic tape and wrap it TIGHTLY around the area where the skin is
11. Using the hose clamp, fasten the clamp on top of the tape about 1/8" above where the skin stops. This will keep the tape from backing off. BE CAREFUL not to clamp any skin. You should be clamping the tape ONLY
12. Use some Aquaphor to lubricate movement and keep skin healthy
13. Wait for about 30 mins for the adhesive to set
14. If desired, use a piece of gauze to pad the glans prior to inserting the pusher (if applicable)
15. Assemble the device
16. Adjust the device to the desired amount of tension (.75-1.5lb)
17. Wash the device after each use with soap and water
18. Keep track of your tugging with a tugging log and set a goal for each week.
19. Take progress photos every month, photographing a ruler next to your penis to measure growth (see measurement section below)
Note: If the tape fails, you're doing something wrong. It could be too much tension, not giving the adhesive time to set, or some other factor. Make sure to find a method that works for you. Try different kinds of tape or maybe even some skin-safe adhesive. Experimentation is part of the process.
Urination instructions
It is worth buying a keychain phillips screwdriver if you use the set screw method so you can adjust tension and remove the pusher for urination when carrying a screwdriver is impractical. They are available on Amazon for fairly cheap:
https://www.amazon.com/JETTINGBUY-Stainless-Pocket-Screwdriver-Keychain/dp/B015XTMN8Y
1. To urinate, first disassemble the device by either removing the bands, set screw, or binder clip
2. Remove the pipe and pusher (if applicable) and gauze from the device. (you may need some tweezers to remove the gauze.)
3. Urinate while sitting down (because it may shoot in a random direction)
4. use some rolled up toilet paper to clean the glans and inside of the coupling.
5. replace the pusher/pipe (or binder clip) and gauze
6. Adjust to desired tension
See diagram below for taping
Measurement:
1. Measure the overall length of your penis while flaccid
2. Measure the length from the circumcision scar to the base, OR if you have some skin built up, measure from where the end of the fold is.
3. record each measurement

5. Calculate SCP
6. Record measurements in your log
Note: SCP is an arbitrary number used to determine how much skin has been grown over time. The goal is to have about 110-120% SCP to mimic a natural foreskin. The more accurate your measurements are, the easier it will be to see how much skin has grown. SCP should NOT change depending on the length of your flaccid penis.
