Restorex Users: Any advice?

Posted by fritzo @fritzo, Jun 11 5:38pm

So, I'll soon start using a Restorex Device as part of a medical study. Any tips on how to use or make it more comfortable???

My sexual function doctor said I would be an excellent candidate for an ongoing study he is involved with, so I applied and got accepted. Since I'll be in the study, I'll get a free Restorex device, which are stupid expensive.

Candidly, not excited about doing this. But, if it helps prevent fibrosis and shrinkage...then I'm in. I figured if I'm in the study, I'll have to actually do the therapy.

So, for you Restorex users, any good tips?
• Boy, you would need a private place...and seems like that could be super awkward when traveling to visit family.
• Do you all wrap with tape? I think I saw somewhere where some people just wrap the tape over the clamp.
• Does it hurt?

A weapon.. you’re funny! The Restorex was low airport stress compared to my implant! It has been 60 days since that was installed and I have traveled four times (pilot type). I am TSA-pre and thus far …have only gone through the metal detector, not the body scan. The small pieces of stainless do not set off the metal detector, but I understand the body scan will see it! They gave me a card to hand to the TSA except that the TSA wants nothing in your hands so the card goes through the luggage Xray machine.
At some point I will get the scanner and they are going to see suspicious metal in my “netherlands” and my card will be trapped on the luggage conveyor. Could be an interesting and awkward discussion depending on the TSA agent involved! 😉
