I've tried clamping before and instead of using a mouse pad rap, I've got a 1.5" piece of silicone that i put on the base of my penis. I bought this off of ebay and haven't experienced any discomfort from it at all.

Session #31 2/11:
no warmup
medium cable clamp w/ mouse pad strip wrapped @ flaccid: 10 min @ 6-8 clicks w/ stimulation, 4 min @ 8 clicks w/o stimulation
5 min shower warmdown
Observations: EQ was 9/10 or 10/10. Didn't have time for a second set today. Retained a lot of blood during the unstimulated portion of the set.

Felt a bit sore today, so I'll rest up until I'm feeling 100% again.

HTS, looks interesting. I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the tip!

Getting down to 8 clicks feels a bit uncomfortable when I kegel in blood, lately. Consequently, my shaft was sore the last couple days. Starting to feel close to 100% better tonight, and tomorrow is v-day, so I'll be back to my workouts on Monday. At that point I'll probably try to dial it back a bit and it keep it in the 5-7 click range for now.

Session #32 2/15:
5 min warmup with rice sock
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip: 12 min @ 7 clicks w/ constant stim, 5 min rest, 8 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ constant stim, 5 min rest
same with extra padding at bottom: 7 min @ 8 clicks w/ constant stim, 5 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: EQ 7/10 to 8/10, EG mid-shaft 5.5 during first and third set.

My shaft has been mildly sore for last couple days. When I worked up to 8 clicks today, I had the same problem as last time where 8 clicks would restrict the bottom of the shaft (corpus spongiosum, I guess) to the point where the act of kegeling blood in wold be very slightly painful. Today I made an adjustment between sets by cutting off a small strip of mouse pad and inserting that in length-wise on top of the other wrap so that it would provide a bit more cushioning. That seemed to work well, so I'll use that from now on. I'm still wrapping flaccid and incrementally getting more erect and clamping down further, and starting the timer when I get to 7 or 8 clicks as indicated.

Session #33 2/16:
no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip: 10 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ constant stim, 5 min rest, 13 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ constant stim, 1 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG was only a bit above 5.25 during the first set, and the usual 5.5 during the second. Since it was low during the first, I'll say the EQ was a 6/10, even though the hardness was not lacking. I cut short the last unstimulated section since it was feeling unpleasant.

I've been thinking about the mouse pad wrap and wondering whether I can't construct something that would be easier to keep snug, maybe with velcro.

Session #34 2/17:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad wrap: 5 min @ 7 clicks w/ constant stimulation, 8 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ only 1 re-stim, 5 min break, 5 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ constant stim, 4 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: Still some pain when kegeling in blood in 7+ click range, unfortunately. I stopped the last unstimulated set when my shaft was getting more purple than I felt comfortable with. Some moderate wrap burn. Moderate bloodspotting around the top of the shaft near the clamp area. EQ was 7/10 to 8/10. EG was 5.5 mid-shaft during sets when measured.

Session #35 2/19:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip: 15 in @ 8 clicks w/ intermittent stimulation, 5 min rest, 4 min @ 7 clicks w/ constant stimulation, 11 min @ 7-8 clicks w/o stimulation, 4 min rest, 3 min @ 7 clicks w/ stimulation, x min @ 8 clicks w/o stimulation
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.375 - 5.5 during first set, 5.5 - 5.5625 during second set, 5.5 during last set.

Session #36 2/20:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip: 4 min @ 7 clicks w/ constant stim, 11 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim
short warmdown

Observations: not much time today so I did one long, intense set. Part of the set I was in the shower. All the moving around caused some moderate bloodspots all over my shaft, but no biggie. EG was 5.5 during the set. Lost little to no girth during the unstimulated portion, which is awesome.

I may pass on tomorrow, depending on how the bloodspots look. At this level of severity I don't think they are a danger, but I don't want to push my luck further.

Should receive a silicone wrap in the mail to try out soon.

Session #37 2/21:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip: 5 min @ 7 clicks w/ constant stim, 7 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim, 4 min rest, 7 min @ 7-8 clicks w/ stim, 8 min @ 8-9 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.375 - 5.5 during first set, 5.5 during second set (after the rest period). Some leftover bloodspots from yesterday got slightly darker, but no new ones. mid FG was 5 and base FG was 5.25 shortly after the session.

Session #38 2/22:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip on top of silicone wrap - 1 min @ 6 clicks w/ stim, 7 min @ 7 clicks w/o stim, 4 min rest, 5 min @ 7 clicks w/ stim, 5 min @ 8 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.4375 - 5.5 during first set, 5.5 during second set. EQ 8/10

I purchased the silicone tube recommended earlier in the thread and tried it out today. It was too thin for me to use alone with the medium cable clamp (not enough pressure with no remaining teeth), so I put the regular mouse pad strip over the top of it. This seemed to work extremely well. Most notably, the silicone provided a firmer layer than my skin to wrap the mouse pad strip tightly on, and absorbed any bunching that was going on. I got no wrap burn at all! It seemed to me that the bloodspotting was reduced as well. We'll see how well it holds up over time in terms of durability, but so far it seems like a worthwhile purchase. The thickness of the silicone wrap adds about 1 clamp tooth of space, but it actually allowed me to clamp tighter with less injury, ultimately.

Session #39 2/23:

medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip on top of silicone wrap: 5 min @ 6 clicks w/ stimulation, 7 min @ 6 clicks w/o stim, 3 min rest, 6 min @ 6 clicks w/ stimulation, 6 min @ 6 clicks w/o stimulation

Observations: mid EG 5.5 during first set (before rest), 5.5 - 5.5625 during second set (after rest). EQ 9/10.

Had a little bit of skin irritation in the area next to the front-most part of the silicone sleeve. I only needed to go down to 6 clicks today, probably due to increased EQ. I haven't been taking many days off recently since I will have decreased opportunity to train over the next week. Excellent session, even though it was pretty simple.

Session #40 2/25:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip on top of silicone wrap: 5 min @ 6 clicks w/ stimulation, 10 min @ 6-7 clicks w/o stimulation
no warmdown

Observations: EQ 8/10. mid EG 5.5 during set. Moderate bloodspotting on top of shaft.

Session #41 2/26:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip over silicone wrap: 12 min @ 6 clicks w/ constant stim, 4 min @ 7 clicks w/o stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.5 during set. EQ 10/10. Excellent set.

The silicone wrap is a bit tricky in that it will easily bunch up skin when putting it on, but once you've got it arranged properly, you're very unlikely to get any bunching or pinching during or after the clamping session.

Session #42 2/27:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip on top of silicone wrap: 10 minutes @ clamp1=7 clicks & clamp2=6 clicks (unstimulated after both clamps in place)
no warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.5 during set. EQ 8/10.

Since I've been having solid success with clamping down to a sustained girth level without stimulation, I decided I was ready to do a bit longer experimental set with two clamps. The silicone wrap works very well except for two things:

1. I seem to get darker bloodspots than normal with it on. I can't say for sure that this is the result of the tube though, rather than a different kind of stimulation that I tend not to do when not using the silicone.

2. Looks like a tiny tear is starting to develop on one edge, so it may not last long. It is pretty difficult to get it on while flaccid at all. I'm curious as to whether that can be patched up with glue or some kind of tape like the one in the link below.

Welcome to Rescue Tape!

I've been getting moderate bloodspots in the last few sessions, mostly on top. Some of them do not completely disappear between sessions, so it's time for a day or two off. I'll get back into doing multiple sets in a week or so when I have more free time.

Session #43 3/1:

no warmup
medium cable clamp with mouse pad strip over silicone wrap: 4 min @ 6 clicks w/ constant stim, 6 min @ 7 clicks w/o stim w/ freestyle bends, 3 min rest, 4 min @ 6 clicks w/ constant stim, x min @ 7-8 clicks w/ stim
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: EQ 8/10. mid EG 5.5 during first and second sets.

Practically no bloodspotting during or after this session for reasons inexplicable to me.

Session #44 3/4:

no warmup
2x medium cable clamps with mouse pad strip over silicone wrap: 12 min @ {Clamp1: 6-7 clicks, Clamp2: 6-7 clicks} w/ intermittent stimulation, 3 min rest, 12 min @ {Clamp1: 6-7 clicks, Clamp2: 6-7 clicks} w/ intermittent stimulation
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: maxed at 5.5 mid EG during first set, solid 5.5625 during second set. EQ 7/10-8/10

The silicone wrap plus the doubled clamps makes the color line on my shaft hilariously noticeable. Looks like a ghost with a bad sunburn on his member.

Session #45 3/7:

no warmup
2 medium cable clamps with mouse pad strip over silicone wrap: 5 min @ {C1: 6-7 clicks, C2: 6 clicks} w/ constant stim, 5 min @ {C1: 7 clicks, C2: 7 clicks} w/o stim, 3 min rest, 10 min @ {C1: 6-7 clicks, C2: 6-7 clicks} w/ freestyle bends
5 min shower warmdown

Observations: mid EG 5.5 during 1st and 2nd set, moderate bloodspotting all round shaft during 1st set

There's one little area that's more yellowish than reddish, unlike the usual bloodspots, that gets bigger or smaller lately depending on how frequently I do PE sessions, right around the edge of where I place the silicone wrap. I hate to take more time off, but it freaks me out a little bit.

So far no apparent gains to brag about, but I figure I should stick with clamping for a while since, if anything is going to add to girth, it's probably clamping techniques. I need to get back into the habit of doing my kegels on off days!
