Title: My Taping Method
Post by: bmark5 on 2020-02-29 19:12:39
Hi All,

I thought I'd share my experience using the taping method which has given me the best result thus far. I have been skinning back for years mostly by using a piece of foam with a hole for my glans to fit through to keep the foreskin retracted. Even after months of keeping it this way my foreskin would still eventually roll over my head after the foam was removed.

I recently bought from Target medical fabric tape in a roll. I cut it into 3 strips and place them around the circumference of my penis. I first pull the foreskin back place the start of the tape right behind the corona and then tape it back on top of the foreskin. This tape does not remove easily and even during a strong nighttime erection the tape will stay on and stretch.

You will see by my photos how I have it taped and then when I remove the tape the foreskin stays retracted. I have been doing this for about a month and if I pull the foreskin forward it'll retract back behind the glans on its own and stay there. My inner foreskin has also dried out which it never did before when using foam.

I am going to keep taping for a couple more months and then see if I can then permanently be bare without any tape from there. Wish me luck!

Awesome! I'm glad it works for you. You haven't had any problems with it "turtling" (the head pulls inside the foreskin when you sit down)?

No turtling here. I think the tape keeps it from happening. My foreskin did swell a bit for the first few days but it subsided. When I sit down and if it is really cold the tape keeps the skin pulled back behind the head.

That's amazing. Can't wait to see how you get on in the coming months. ;)

How often do you change the tapes? Do the stay there after a shower?

I have to say the effect is impressive, and with the inner lining drying out that seems to be doing the trick. \interesting when you remove the tape the skin stays back, not sure if that the folds created.

hi Georgek I can leave them on for 2 days if needed. I usually remove them before a shower and reapply fresh strips after I dry off.

Congratulations, that's more or less  the method I used right from the start, with only 1 (wider) strip of tape on the top. After 2x 4 months I got to permanent retraction.
My tape was not tight so i could wear it at night during erections. With good quality tape it could easily stay on for one week.
Overall I found it was really a soft, nontraumatic method. It never induced any side effects.

Thanks @FrenchGuy So far it has been quite successful. It is encouraging to hear that you got permanent retraction this way! I agree, it is very comfortable and I hardly know I have any tape on.

This method looks great. I tried it but my tape doesn't seem to stick to the skin enough.  It dissolves quickly :-(

@pret78 I use a fabric medical tape roll you can purchase in the bandage section of your pharmacy. It's quite sticky and stretches for movement and erections.

I tried this method as well. Maybe I wasn't consistent enough or it was my anatomy being different but I didn't get the result shown here. Great to see that this seems to work for some.

@Nexolaris sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Bummer  :(

I can say for myself that I use similar method and it actually did help a lot for forming shaft wrinkles and  helped the skin to stay behind corona when not taped.

But for my method I wrinkle the skin as close to the base as possible so the inner skin is stretched along the shaft and the ridged band is as far from the glans as possible, then I tape it from the ridged band through the wrinkles so the tape ends at my pubic hair ( must be at least shortly trimmed).
It gives nice tightly cut like feel and help develop nice wrinkles.

@bobenc0 I tried taping at the base and it never worked for me. The tape would always peel off. When I tape at the base of the glans it'll stay on for days. Not ideal but better than nothing. :)

This method works like a charm for me. I used kinesiology tape, it feels like there's nothing on my penis. It keeps my foreskin from rolling back even when I'm sitting and really conformtable during erections too. :)

Fantastic! Glad it worked for you as well. :)

Trying this method now. So far it is very comfortable and my skin is not "turtling"!

I really like this method, it works well for me too.

Only tried for a day at a time up to now, but will give it a go for longer.

I really like the way it keens the skin back from the corona.
