So i've been mr.frugal, i was using a sock hanger, now im using two athletic wristbands, over an ace bandage, and I tie a velcro strap from the wristbands to the weight. Im feeling as though most of the stretch seems to be my fat pad, I dont feel the same stretch as when I use my hands, however I still do hang longer when I take this 'device' off, does this sound normal?

What should I change? Should I remove one of the wristbands? I only use it instead of the sock because its much more comfortable.

I believe on Bib's site each model kind of depend on your erect girth and length.

I purchased Bib's starter model. Realized first try that my natural girth was a bit much. I still wrapped but was never able to get the top teeth to mesh even slightly. I tried every possible top/bottom nut adjustment and still couldn't get the teeth to mesh. I started using a 'what-a-grip (WAG) only as a wrap and it worked well for about 9 months but still had the mesh issues. So, I removed the gel liners completely with hope for a better fit and more room. Took a short while to adjust to the new sensation w/o the gel but felt the inner tissue being stretched right away. If you are naturally girthy, I recommend the hardcore model, or remove the gel from your existing model.

I have built and used three different hangers, sock, Hubbard, and Captain's Wench. The Wench is the best by far and cheap to make. It is basically velcro with a cable clamp and an S hook. Build it and she will cum.

Wrapping is the real art. If you wrap properly you will be able to handle the necessary weight to gain. Just experiment with different wrappings to see what works best for you. After much trial and error I have discovered that a single Ace bandage works best for me.

Most of the pioneers believe that 17+ pounds is where the gainers live. I have hung as much as 30 pounds but I really think that if you can comfortably hang 20 you will get just as much benefit. Move up to that plateau slowly (one to two pounds a week). Happy Hanging!

I have started hanging recently about two weeks ago using a sock hanger and a lace to wrap around my penis .... I started off light around 1.5 lbs or so .... Hanging feels great and i am sure i will get some good length which is desire so much .... I am also looking forward to girth increase .... but i wonder how some of you guys can hang 20 - 60 lbs of weight from the penis .... It's a lot of weight .... even 1.5 pounds feels heavy at the moment for me ..... I will work my way up though !!!!

I'm with angus, I'm 6" girth and the starter was not comfortable. Recently got the hardcore model and am loving it!! The feeling i get with this thing is amazing, even at just 5 lbs. if your hanger isn't grabbing the internals you will just get the burning from skin stretch. I wrap with a 6" piece of sweater material an 6" piece of ace bandage like malehanger recommends. Really comfortable! :)

What length of Ace wrap do you use? How about the brand specifically? I was using the 3M "Ace" wrap myself until I discovered "Self Grip" self adhesive wrap. Similar in material, but lasts much longer. A roll usually lasts me a few months. The "Ace" stuff stretches out pretty quickly and the "Self Grip" stuff does not. I only replace it when it loses its' tackiness, which is usually once every 2-3 weeks.

Great to hear there bro! Guys, I'm going to share a quote from BIB's own forum. It's in the public domain and not "private", so I don't see a problem doing this. I feel it's fair to see BIB saying some 'interesting' things regarding these two hangers. BigO was asking BIB the differences:

bigo,

>I am wondering about the size of the hardcore compared to the starter. I am thinking a little more room may work better for me.<-BigO

They are just about the same lengthwise. The hardcore holds a bit more girth.-BIB

>Is the hardcore in any way a hanger that is in between the sizes of the starter and the original.<-BigO

In girth capacity, yes.-BIB

>what is the girth the hardcore can handle<-BigO

It will easily handle a six inch girth.-BIB

>and also it sounds like it may have more shaft contact then the original starter.<-BigO

No. Just a better grip, because it does not have padding.-BIB (Oh really??? Hmm. Big reason I recommend the Hardcore....-Malehanger)

Bigger

I mean really, it just seems like to me at least, a better grip is what a guy should have from day ONE no matter his prior experience, or weight level he is currently using.

I am finally ready to second that. I guess the padded starter is for guys with smaller girths.

Nice find malehanger.
What minimum girth would you recommend for the Hardcore?

An inch and 1/2 deeper than before
Thats it, I am ordering my hardcore later today, I am sick of my starter and the issues I am having because of girth. I can hang wit it but it takes so much time to get it ready for each set and it is not wrapping or anything else, it just takes me several attempts to get my wang in there and having it set just right. Dont get me wrong, they starter is a fantastic hanger and the design is absolutely beautifull but to smmall is just too small. I would stress that f you are at or close to 6 inches of girth to get the hardcore and if its too hard on the old weenorama then just use a bit more wrap in the very beginning and lesson it as frequently as you can handle.

If you want to save some $$, just remove the gel liners from your current starter model and see how you like it. Made a world of difference for me.

I did remove it quite some time ago, I just have an issue with my bottom trying to squeeze between the teeth, if I open the bottom nuts any more the hanger does not get tight enuff. It helped for a while but it just does not have enuff room in the right places for me.
