Left: November 2000, my before photo. I was CI-2.

After 4 months, CI-4
 By March 2001 (4 months later) I was at CI-4
After 7 months, CI-5
 By June 2001 (7 months later) I was at CI-5. This was my original target and where I intended to stop. However...

1 Jun 2011: I've been thinking about going up a CI number for a long time. Winter is my favourite restoring time as it's cool and you don't sweat much (so the tape sticks for longer) and you've got more clothes on so it's easy to hide the restorer . So as it's winter here in Sydney I started again. I'm using a leg strap in bed at night and a modified double shoulder strap during the day in the office. Both straps are highly efficient as the restorer isn't "trapped" against your skin or by clothes and the tension varies as you move your leg (for the leg strap) or sitting/standing position (double shoulder strap). I think that tension variation is probably a good thing.

This is my photo as of 1 June 2011. You always look like you have more foreskin when you're very soft and a little cold. I'm going on cruise on the Mediterranean in August so I have about 8 weeks before I go and I'm working hard.

Here's the leg strap. I use rubber bands for tension and have different sized ones tied to the leg strap so I can increase or decrease it whenever I want simply by adding them or removing them from the clip. I'm also using a glide sock over the restorer to stop it "sticking" to my leg or the bed sheets. The latex restorer is quite grippy and I don't want that reducing the efficiency of my restoring sessions so covering it with a fabric makes it glide over my skin without gripping..

Here's the double shoulder strap. I forgot to take a back view shot but there's a strip of elastic connecting both shoulder straps together across my back, that stops the shoulder straps slipping off my shoulders.

I tie a knot in the elastic at the front when I have the tension I want and I also use the glide sock to stop the latex gripping onto my skin.
