Day 20

Looks like most of my stitches are gone. Tried wear looser underwear but so far pretty painful. Wore reg briefs and still little discomfort but think can live with pain. Night erections finally stop hurting so super ecstatic. I think top part penis still super sensitive. Is that just something that will go away?

Yes, I’m glad your erections don’t hurt anymore. That was a big plus for me, although, I can’t masturbarte with it yet it feels nice not waking up in pain. I want to wank it though

When home I wear very loose shorts with no underwear and when I leave the house I wear loose shorts with loose underwear. That helped a little.

I tried like boxers at home but like it hurt instantly. I guess tip is still really sensitive so I'm hoping that goes away soon

It will go away! Just give it some time. I tried to air it out as much as possible. That helped a lot.

I’m on Day 15. I’ve worn jocks from day 1 from advice in here and a friend who’s been through it. The suggestion was to get the crown used to contact. Every day I’ve used Vaseline on gauze (2, one on top, one underneath to be able to wrap it). It was uncomfortable putting the jocks on and back up after the toilet each time, but now it’s comfortable and pain has almost gone. Sensitivity is still there when touched with any pressure but once tucked in, everything was comfortable to walk from the start. Feeling ok, going to try a light jog tonight.

Everyone is different, however the suggestion for appropriate gentle and consistent contact has worked for me. Definitely running warm water over it for 10mins each day in the shower helped as well.

I tried jockstraps and they were even better because you get support and less movement when walking. Feels weird having no material on your bum, lol, but it works!

I hope it’s getting better for you and any of this has helped.

See I kind regret not wearing underwear sooner. Up till my day 16 I may wore underwear maybe 3 or 4 times . I have been doing shower and that feels so much better I can put it under with minimal pain. I try jock strap see if better then reg briefs

Yes, All day and night, with Vaseline. I’m at a point I can do most normal things in every day life, minus sexual activity of course.

Was able to go for a jog today, had feeling of a little bit of impact pressure but no pain.

I found a light coating of Vaseline on the glans helped with rubbing on clothing as I walked. It didn’t take long to adjust to the unfamiliar sensation, less than a week. Tighter underwear definitely helped rather than boxers.
