Hi Fellow Restorers

A few weeks ago I shared a long post in r/Foreskin_Restoration about the Deep Grip Method.

I genuinely believe this technique has many advantages, and I think more people should know about it.

This time, instead of another long technical post, I thought I'd simply share the demonstration video. Sometimes seeing the technique in action is much easier than reading a detailed explanation.

If you're interested in the theory behind it, why it works, and some practical tips, I've also put together a dedicated page that goes into much more detail.
Here's the link to view the DEEP GRIP USER GUIDE

One thing I've learned over the years is that there isn't a "perfect" gripper, simply because not everyone restores the same way. Some people restore with low tension for 12 hours a day. Others prefer stronger tension in shorter sessions. Some have sensitive skin, while others simply want the strongest grip possible. Some have a thin skin while others have a thicker type. The variables are endless!

That's exactly why I decided to create three different Flow Grippers instead of trying to make one gripper that fits everyone.

Soft Gripper
Designed for maximum comfort. Ideal for low to moderate tension, long uninterrupted sessions, and users with sensitive skin. The tradeoff is a slightly lighter grip under higher tension.

Balanced Gripper
The all-around option, the default gripper included with every Mantor Flow. It offers an excellent balance between comfort and grip, making it the best choice for everyday use and most users.

Firm Gripper
Designed for maximum grip strength. Perfect for higher tension, weights, straps, or anyone who wants to minimize slippage. The firmer silicone provides a stronger grip but may feel less comfortable during long sessions.

Whichever restoration style you prefer, there's now a gripper designed to match it.

The new grippers are now available individually, so you can easily add one or more to your current Mantor Flow setup. And if you don't already own a Mantor Flow, you can now choose your preferred gripper type directly on the product page when placing your order.

Finally, a little sneak peek at what I'm working on next...

My next goal is to develop a Flow version specifically for very tight circumcisions (CI-0), for people who currently don't have enough skin to use existing devices but also can't, or simply don't want to, use T-tape or manual methods.

I believe this could help many people overcome that first barrier and make restoration accessible to those who have wanted to start but simply haven't had a practical option.

As always, thank you for your ideas, feedback, and support. Many of the improvements I make begin as conversations with this community and for that I'm grateful to be part of this growing (in more than one way) movement.

Hi everyone,

One of the questions I see over and over again is:

How do I target more inner skin?
How do I target more outer skin?
Which methods are best, and can they be combined?

The truth is, there isn't just one correct approach.

For example, weights and tugging straps are generally known for placing more emphasis on outer (shaft) skin.

Inflation primarily targets inner skin.

What about dual tension (bidirectional) devices?

While they typically place most of the tension on the inner skin, the way you apply the device can dramatically change how that tension is distributed.

With one simple technique, you can involve significantly more outer (shaft) skin in the stretch, regardless of which dual tension device you're using.

Almost six years ago, I introduced this technique and called it Deep Grip.

Lately, however, I've been seeing more and more questions about different tension methods, so I thought it would be a good time to revisit the topic.

In my opinion, learning how to apply a proper Deep Grip is one of the most valuable skills you can develop.

So let's dive in.

(If you'd rather skip the reading, you can simply click here to watch an NSFW video where a real person demonstrates the Deep Grip technique step by step)

What is Deep Grip?

The idea is actually very simple.

Instead of simply rolling the skin over the gripper, you intentionally pull the skin farther forward before securing it.

This makes the gripper grip the shaft skin closer to the scrotum.

As a result, once tension is applied, a larger area of skin becomes part of the stretching zone.

See the drawing below:

Advantages:

1. More outer skin under tension

One of the biggest advantages of Deep Grip is that it increases the amount of shaft (outer) skin involved in the stretch.

Many people ask how they can put more emphasis on outer skin without switching devices.

Deep Grip is one of the simplest ways to do exactly that, alongside weights and tugging straps.

Since tissue expansion occurs where tension is applied, increasing the amount of skin being stretched means a larger area is receiving that stimulus.

2. A much larger elastic working range

This is probably my favorite benefit.

Imagine two office rubber bands.

A small rubber band becomes tight quickly. It only stretches a short distance before it reaches its limit.

A larger rubber band stretches much farther while remaining soft, flexible, and elastic.

Deep Grip creates a very similar effect.

Because more skin is captured under the gripper, you create a much larger elastic working range before the tissue reaches excessive tension.

Instead of going almost immediately from "not enough tension" to "too much tension," you now have a much wider sweet spot where the tension remains both effective and comfortable.

That makes it much easier to fine-tune your tension level and maintain longer, more comfortable sessions.

3. Less stress on the frenulum and inner skin

This benefit is actually a direct result of the previous one.

With a conventional application, the frenulum (or what remains of it after circumcision) often ends up sitting close to the edge of the gripper.

As tension increases, that delicate area can become overstretched surprisingly quickly.

At best, it shortens your session. At worst, repeated stress can cause irritation or small skin injuries around the frenulum.

Deep Grip creates a much larger elastic buffer.

Instead of concentrating the force near the frenulum, the tension is distributed across a much larger area of skin.

For many people, this makes long sessions significantly more comfortable while reducing unnecessary stress on the frenulum and inner foreskin.

Making Deep Grip Practical

One of the biggest reasons many people don't use the Deep Grip technique consistently isn't because it doesn't work, it's because it can be difficult to apply.

Gripping the skin deeper along the shaft takes more time and precision than simply rolling the skin onto the gripper.

With earlier designs, including the Mantor DS, achieving a true Deep Grip was definitely possible, but it often required extra effort. Because the pusher and gripper were connected by a slim rod, there wasn't much support for the skin during application. After gripping the skin, you would often need to work the pusher forward gradually, sometimes moving it back and forth several times, until it reached the desired stretching position.

When I designed the Mantor Flow, one of my main goals was to make the Deep Grip technique practical enough for everyday use.

Unlike a narrow rod, its wider diameter tube supports the skin throughout the application process, allowing it to glide smoothly over the tube as you pull it forward to the pre-positioned gripper.

The result is a Deep Grip application that is significantly faster, easier, and more consistent, making it much more practical to use on a daily basis.

And because Mantor Flow can be worn without removing it for urination, you don't have to repeat the entire Deep Grip application every time you visit the bathroom. Once you've achieved a good Deep Grip, you can simply continue your session.

See It in Action

The Deep Grip technique is much easier to understand when you see it performed.

Here's a link to an NSFW real person demonstration that shows the complete application process step by step, making it easy to replicate and incorporate into your own routine.

To Conclude:

Deep Grip isn't about applying more tension.

It's about putting more skin to work, distributing the stretch more efficiently, and making that tension more comfortable, more controllable, and more sustainable over long sessions.

No matter which dual tension device you use, improving your technique is often one of the easiest ways to improve your overall results.

Now I'm curious...

How many of you are already using the Deep Grip technique?

Have you noticed a difference in comfort, session length, grip stability, or the amount of skin under tension?

If you've developed your own tricks for achieving a better Deep Grip, I'd love to hear them and I'm sure others in the community would benefit as well.
