Hey guys, Ive been using the sock hanger I've made since I began hanging but after 7.5-10lbs really it just can't hold the weight and it slips. I use a silicon sleeve on my penis, then insert into the sock, and then tie with a shoelace wrapping all the way down the shaft strting at the top so all the blood is in the head. Any ideas to mod it so it doesn't slip? I've also tried pipe clamps but they are a huge neucense to put on and take off and eventually they just hurt. Please any suggestions would be great. If not I'll have to order a big hanger which I am still contemplating

I wrap my penis with self sticking Ace type wrap, place my penis in the sock and use a cable clamp around the fold of the sock, I am currently at 7.5 lbs.

I had tested my sock hanger to see how much I could do before it slipped.. I got up to 20 lbs straight down, didn't try more as I don't know if I could take more for even a little bit but it felt pretty solid. I folded it 3 times at the elastic band, tied a half knot on top, then the right side, then the left side, then double looped it and a full slip knot on top with a thick shoelace. I think the key was switching hands with the shoelace after each half knot so that you had the shoelace in a nice smooth uniform grip across the knot instead of just at one point. That was for hanging straight down, now that I've moved to between the cheeks, I get slippage at 9 pounds, but it is a different sock.. the elastic was a little loose. Going to redo it with a tight sock next time and see what happens.

I got it at RiteAid. Unfortunately, I did not keep the box. It's two inches wide and looks similar to an Ace wrap. It says self sticking but not to skin.

Cable clamp should work in any position. However, I have not tested it over 7.5 lbs. I plan on moving up to 8.5 - 9 next week.

20lbs is the most i have ever heard of anyone using with the sock hanger. I didn't even know that was possible.

I don't think I could have gotten it to go more, and I do not know if it would have held for 20 minute sessions.

I DO know it held 15 lbs for multiple 20 minute sessions. I ended my straight down stretches with that weight for a week. Still trying to figure out a way to hold 10 lbs for between the cheeks.. I'm not quite there yet, I do 9 for most of the first set them have to drop to 7. Same with the 2nd set. BTC is much more intense!

I'm thinking a thick wool sock and maybe some velcro straps (2-3 along the length) instead of shoelaces would work for a heavy duty sock hanger model. The springiness of a wool sock could make for some interesting exercise variations.

The Velcro is a good idea. Unfortunately, I don't think my shaft is long enough (yet) to fit three strips. One may work well together with the cable clamp. I'll pick up some the next time I go to Staples and try it out.

Heavy hanging session followed by extending for 8 hours?? Sound like a decent plan?

This sounds messed up but I wrapped my penis up well today and used vice grips to clamp over the sock. It actually wasn't too bad and my head never went cold

Grr the sock hanger is soooooooo simple, yet can be sooooo complex. i had to give up tonight because for some dumb reason I just couldn't seem to get it on correct. The 1st time worked absolutely perfect, but then after I took it off then tried to put it back on, I couldn't seem to get it on and keep it on without slipping. Grrrrrr

Extend under lower tension than you normally would. I suspect that hanging/extending is what lead to my injury a few months ago... Just tread carefully.
