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:

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
4. See diagram below

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.
