I have to use the retainer from Chrisonlinestore over at Esty.com or his gripper for the DTR retainer at almost all times. Healing lotions optional but recommended. Even retaining by itself promotes some mitosis, so I find it more practical than dual tension/ air methods with bulky devices that you can only wear for hours at a time.

You want to hear my theory and why I prefer to retain all day? Read more:

The glans are meant to be covered as you know. The friction can and does cause discomfort, but it's something more.

I note that ever sense I began to restore, making contact between the glans and clothing actually hurts.

Strangely enough, my dog jumped on me one day when I was on the couch and licked the whites of my eye causing the same exact sensation. It's the same type of pain/ abrasive signal that shoots to the brain. A membrane like texture can describe both the glans and the eyeball.

This means that most cut men are constantly chaffing and receiving this pain signal, even if unknowingly. They have no baseline comparison of life without it if RIC, or gradually begin to normalize it after time if cut later on.

The pain sensation causes a buildup of irritation and discomfort, resulting in irritability if not explosive anger. They cannot identify what is happening on a physiological level, yet the body knows.

It is a constant assault on our senses and our pride and human beings. Better to retain regardless of if you are committed to a in depth restoration regimen.
