Does post circumcision sensitivity ever decrease?

So it's almost been 4 months since my circumcision. To anyone else who had the op, does it ever feel the same after or is it always awkward and painful to walk or do physical activity like sports and jogging?

I'll give that a try thanks. Was considering buying this to see if the extra protection would help.

I was really sensitive the first 3-4 days, was walking funny. But I wore long tight boxer briefs to hold my man in place. Also felt weird when I would wear jeans and have those mild baby erections because the jeans would not expand like basketball shorts do. But I’m fine now, still feels weird when my towel or I touch the head of my penis. Lol

Yeah I still can't wear jeans lol, been living in shorts and joggers. How long has it been since your op?

I got mine done June 5th, 2019. Was in basketball shorts first 4 days. Had to wear jeans for sisters graduation that day was awkward. Moving a lot sitting and being active. But it gets better. Gunna try and see how it is after getting a gym session done soon lol

Hey, do update how it feels after jogging/lifting weights.

I got my op done 9 days ago, and I have a major vacation coming up in a month's time.

I would like to know when I could start wearing undies and working out before that.

Mine was in April 17th 2019, for wearing underwear, I would take painkillers before bed and wear tight underwear. The moving around during sleeping helped my sensitivity go down and then in the day I would wear boxers and just deal with the pain until it became less painful.

I went back to the gym after 2 months but I only walk around and lift weights, still can't jog or train legs. Just walking around can be okay if you wear tight underwear and some thermal leggings under shorts to hold it in place. You might have to constantly readjust whenever you sit down and get back up though.

My circumcision was 4 months ago and it feels great! Give it some time, and it will actually feel better than it ever did before!

I was also very sensitive for some months afterwards. I found tight briefs to keep thing still helped.

Sensitivity will decrease, try running the spray from a shower over it. You can increase the pressure and time, this will help you become accustomed to the feeling.

Good luck

Thanks, I find even with tight clothes it's still awkward just from the clothes pressing on it. Hopefully it won't be too long to get accustomed to it.

For the first week or so I used melonin dressing. This is non stick on one side on which I would smear vaseline then use that as padding. Again it helped to keep me still. Also do not be afraid to take painkilers as needed. Ibuprofen and/or paracetamol.
