Thanks...I'm beginning to get the idea.
Shape and length will be something that the used will need to experiment with. He'll need to have sufficient length to stick out of the foreskin for sufficient distance to allow the application of tape which holds it in place. Any quality first aid tape will work, but those with flexibility are the best. The homemade devices will need to be removed for urination and then reinstalled. I don't know if friendly plastic is a substance that will hold up to drilling. A friend of mine has used it for foreskin restoration, and he simply removes it when he needs to go. The ideal tool is one will an existing tube, such as the famous film canisters. However, these are too large for the beginning stretchers.
>Just as the restoration groups and individuals have had to experiment to get the right combination, the foreskin stretchers will need to experiment a bit also. Every penis is a bit different, so there's no "one size fits all" solution.
>>OK: Friendly plastic easily molded into any shape.
>>What shape and length is recommended?
>>How is the device maintained in place while remaining easily removable for urination?
>>In this case perhaps a picture would be worth a thousand words.
>>, I have another question. What would you suggest if the foreskin opening is 1/4 inch or slightly less?
>>>>>I have looked at numerous messages below and no one is clear cut on how to create that device. I'm asking for clear cut advice on how to make the device using the photograph film cannister, please?

>>>>>First, do you have the sufficient diameter in your opening to allow insertion of a film canister?
>>>>>If that is so, then you need to cut off the end of the can with a hack saw or a crafts knife. Use a file to smooth the cut edge.
>>>>>The end of the can which was the original opening should be inserted into the opening over the glans. Roll the foreskin up over the can and secure it to the can with medical first aid tape.
>>>>>You can leave the can in place all day long and even pee through it. I'd suggest taking it out at bedtime to ensure that you don't cause pressure to be put upon any particular part while you might roll over onto it. Removing it daily also gives you an opportunity to inspect yourself and also take care of hygiene.
>>>>>Any questions?
>>>Craft stores carry an item known as friendly plastic which is easily molded into any shape. It is priced reasonably enough that several dilating devices could be made in progressively larger sizes to facilitate the stretching.
