Title: Has anyone tried the Bien Amour foreskin retractor?
Post by: Freaklancer on 2016-01-15 19:07:02
I ordered a Bien Amour (http://www.bienamour.com/products-for-uncut-penis.htm) Red Pleasure Enhancer 10 days ago but have not yet received it in the mail. It seems like the site is still up and running, but I can't seem to contact the customer service email (it no longer exists), and the owner of the PayPal account you pay is not replying to my emails. Shipping/tracking information does not seem to exist, although I know the company seems to be located somewhere in Arizona.

I'm just wondering if anybody else has tried the Bien Amour foreskin retractor. I've seen 2 posts on unrelated forums stating that they have tried this, but no pictures so far.

Never tried it. Always wanted to. Seems like a good product. Hope the seller gets its act together. If not, you can get a refund through PayPal customer service. There is another very similar product I've seen somewhere. I can't remember the brand name, but it was the same general idea. If I come across it again, I'll post back here. If anyone else knows the one I'm talking about, or anther similar product, please post about it.

The Penitube, right?

Well, I've got an update, guys.

The Bienamour "Red Pleasure Enhancer" arrived today in the mail, after a whopping 20 days. There was no package as indicated on the website. It was put in a pouch, which itself was put in a shoddy manila envelope. The return address, etc., was written in regular pen, something you would expect from an amateur seller on Amazon or eBay.

The retractor itself was made of cheap latex, literally the same material as a red balloon I could buy from the local party store. Looks like someone used a cheap "punch-a-hole" machine on a red balloon and folded over part of it to make the bottom end of the retractor.

The adjustable straps were also low quality. The openings to pull the straps tighter would crease the straps if I pulled too hard.

I couldn't get a tight enough feel when putting it on. The retractor itself felt somewhat snug, but the straps would just pull the lower end of the latex loose and crease the openings where the latex was punched. The worst part is...part of the latex ripped off when I tried to put it on.

Overall, I'm pretty disappointed, and whatever was left of the retractor, I threw in the trash. This wasn't a scam, but overall, slow shipping and low quality product makes this not worth $12.99. I wish I could have taken pictures. Anyway, I guess I'll just go back to my taping method or the cockring method when I want to retract my foreskin.

What a ripoff. I've seen pics of the penitube and it seems to be a much higher quality product. Presumably the "bien amour" is a shitty knockoff.

Hi guys. Sorry for the slow response. Life's been hectic lately. Actually, the one I saw was not the Penitube. Unless it was an earlier version. I still can't remember what it was called or where I saw it. Haven't had time to try and track it down. But having looked up the Penitube, I do agree that it looks like a much more professional product. At least in terms of the molding of the tube. I am a little bit concerned that the straps look like shoelaces, and probably non-elastic. The one I'd seen had a natural latex color tube, and black elastic straps, like the Bien Amour. But the straps were different in that there were two straps. The diagram showed one strap going around each leg, as opposed to around the waist. I didn't like that idea, but thought it could be easily modified, and was worth checking out for anybody interested in Bien Amour. I'll still post it here if I ever find it. Could be that it's just not available anymore.  :-\

I'm not sure what other products besides the Penitube contain a strap feature. This (https://www.google.com/patents/US20110146695?dq=foreskin&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiSk5CFw8nKAhXFr4MKHR_rB6oQ6AEIOTAE) is the patent for the Bienamour. If you scroll down below, there is another patent for a similar device. A quick search of the creator of that one brings up the "Kasanova Ring (http://www.kasanovaring.com/)." Seems like the Kasanova Ring is a disposable "foreskin ring" you buy in packs of 3 for £2.49 from Europe. Considering what little luck I've had from "dedicated" foreskin retractors, I'll just stick to makeshift methods, thank you....

Huh, I've never heard of the Kasanova Ring before. And after checking out the instruction on their site, I still don't fully understand how it works. Their instructions suck.  :P

Freaklancer's statement that the Bien Amour is no better than something you could make from a regular party balloon got me thinking, and I decided to try just that. I cut a regular balloon as shown in the pictures, and created a very cheap, but effective, strapless version. Please excuse the crude, uneven cuts. I was using some very crappy scissors.  :P  Anyway, I tried it for a wank-off session, and it worked quite well. I want to try it for extended wear, but haven't done so yet.

BTW, it should be noted that you really need to shave your pubes before wearing this device. Otherwise the balloon rubber grabs them like crazy, and makes for a very unpleasant experience.  ;)

Hi guys.what do you think? Feels good to wear. Really pulls my foreskin right back.

One more as the others seems a bit blur

Wow, looks great! Wouldn't have thought a balloon could be a useful sex toy ;D

Hopefully that tight ring around the tip of your foreskin will stretch out as you wear it back.

Hi. I have noticed that my frenulum is less painful when I pull my foreskin right back. Will make another one later as the first one was a rush job. But hopefully will do the job.

Too right definitely recommend it. Think you need 2 though, one cut for when you have a hard on so it doesn't hurt your cock. Then another one with a smaller opening at the stick end for when you are soft. I found that it works a treat when hard the smaller ended one will help to keep the foreskin back better. Cause problem there could be you get a hard on which could really squash the cock. But a great inexpensive way to help keep the foreskin back.

I've got to hand it to my brothers of the "hood" here... you guys can get pretty resourceful when you collaborate.  Speaking of which, before I found this forum, I felt as if I was the only uncut guy on the planet and a freak.  At the gym I tried my best to hide my penis because the guys would stop and stare.  You guys are a major support group for me.  Thanks!

I used the same method but experimented with rubber bike tube.  I cut all kinds of patterns and I stuck to what worked the best and its the simple as illustrated.  I didn't want my foreskin to budge and the thick bike rubber really does the job for me.  The wife can suck and stroke my cock and I can fuck without any skin movement.  The retainer strap acts as a cock ring keeping the shaft thick and the head engorged and when I shoot with it on I can feel the pressure build and the head gets bigger and I always shoot very forcefully.  It's night and day when wearing it and we love the versatility of having the best of both.

Thanks UCEDHM40. That's a very cool innovation. Good job! :D I'd like to try it. Can you perhaps show pictures of of how the tube looks when it's not on the penis, and/or a diagram of your cut pattern? I'd like to see how you cut the pattern, how it differs from the original balloon device I created. Also, is it hard to put on? I'd imagine that a bicycle tube would be a lot lees elastic than a balloon, and might be hard to stretch enough to get over the balls. Have you found that to be the case? Do you have any tips about this? Thanks again. :)
