>>Hey Johny, where did you get the idea about the film canister, and why didn't you continue with the stretching?
>>Scroll down a ways and read Greg's post and the idea he has for a stretching device.
>Ahh, I did not continue with the stretching because it seemed that the effects were not lasting, I got discouraged. The film canister idea was my own, I was surprised to see that a thread in here mention something similar.OK, the reasone you didn't get a lasting effect was because you quit too soon. What happens is that the stretching cause little gaps between the skin cells. If you continue stretching long enough, new cells will form to fill in the gaps. If you quit, the natural elasticity in the skin will close up the gaps.
You need to get your equipment back out and start again. Continue the exercises for a minimum of two months after you achieve your goal. In addition, skin back several times a day so the skin becomes accustomed to being that size.
The film canister was an idea originated by the foreskin restoration groups. It's a variation of the pill tube method. Down the page from here you'll see another device used by Greg. Actually just about anything of the proper material and size will work.
