Im on day 9 of recovery and I am starting to experience chafing with my underwear. I do not want to add blisters to my recovery. Anyone have any recommendations to help with chafing? Also, is chafing a constant concern post circumcision?

How long until chafing is no longer an issue?

Gradually sensation will reduce, you will be used to and won't feel

As stated here keep it as still as possible. It will pass. Before my op I kept my knob exposed for months which got it used to exposure and rubbing. In time it will lose sensitivity which is great. Best thing I ever did. My wife loves it.

Many men, including myselkf who was circumcised in infancy have problems with underwear due to sensitivity. I cannot wear loose boxer shorts and have to wear tight fitting boxers. There are two types of sensitivity, the sensitivity you will lose after circumcision and the unpleasant sensitivity bordering on pain that sometimes replaces it which I have. When the sensitivity is at its worse I often wear a small length of plastic tubing ove the glans held in place with micropore tape, That helps a great deal.
