So I did a quick search before posting but had some questions.

When I am soft and relaxed, I am probably close to a CI-6 (I know my sig says CI-4, but benefits of being a grower I guess?) so most of my glans is covered. It's been similar to this for a while. Although I am this covered, I seem to struggle a LOT with sensitivity. I'm guessing that even though it's covered when I am relaxed, the head still probably is rubbing on things while I am asleep and getting air to it?

Sex has been frustrating because of the lack of sensitivity. I didn't realize how dead my sensitivity was until my partner was rubbing their finger over my head and I couldn't barely tell they were doing it. Honestly made me kind of sad for both of us.

ANYHOW... Having jumped back into restoration, I am really trying to focus on getting my sensitivity back. From what I have read, it's not really a quick process either. Which is fine! I am not going to let it get me down, but I did have some questions about what things I should be seeing or things I should be doing to help the process.

I have been moisturizing a lot. Every night (and day that I am not wearing a device) I am putting on CeraVe Intensive Moisturizing Cream with 5% Urea. I put it everywhere and focus on the glans and I can actually roll the skin over the tip and it will keep it in place.

I am determined to make this better. I have been thinking about buying a manhood or some kind of coverage device I can wear to keep it completely covered at all time.

Also, last thing. What should I be expecting to see as dekeratinization happens. Some people report skin flaking off a lot, some people say their glans get blue/purple, some say the glans is more shiny? I don't really have any of this yet.

Sorry for the long winded question.

So I have been looking for a few ways to diversify my foreskin restoration.

I figure that It won't HURT to attack this in a few different ways.

I currently have I think the most common 2 restoration devices, CAR-1 and the DTR. And have also been manually stretching in bed before I sleep.

In attempt to get a few more ways to make this fun, I have 3D printed a few different sizes of Pear Gauges (I'd like to support the community and buy some professionally made) and just had a few questions for you guys that use/have used them before I buy one.

Are they supposed to stretch in a similar way as the CAR-1? With the CAR-1 I get a lot deeper of a stretch. Maybe deeper is the wrong word... I'm getting more of the area inflated. Which I honestly don't know if it is good or bad.

Are they supposed to stay in on their own? I know skin is all different, but if they are too small they don't seem to put any pressure on the skin so it feels pointless. But if they are too large, they don't seem to stay in on their own. Do I just have a blown out foreskin? lol

My excitement with the Pear gauges is I feel like I may be able to more easily/comfortably wear them during the day at work. I have been wearing my CAR-1, but I am having to adjust it and have to carry around an inflation tool which is a bit inconvenient.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!
