This is my conversation with Ron of
TLCTUGGER.COM. My questions to him are between the >> and <<
Hi,
Thanks for your note.
>>some slight swelling at the point where my skin is rolled up on the cone which correlates to about mid shaft when the
VLC is taken off. <<
To wear the
VLC we use the skin tube to form a seal. The skin rolls over on itself at the skinny part of the device. At the roll-over point there will be stresses that crimp blood vessels and cause edema. As long as tugging forces are manageable it shouldn't be a problem. We use the 4-Hour Rule to fine-tune tension and any unwanted effect is a violation of the rule.
>> at the base of the cone there is a small gap between it and my glans <<
We supply a retaining cone large enough so you could wear it by itself sleeping, when you will have nocturnal erections. Some guys do choose to get a separate cone for situations where erections are not expected.
>> causes me to wonder how I can achieve a good suction on the glans <<
Well a too-wide cone is just a perfect cone with a little something extra.It's mainly a problem only if the edge of the cone gets dragged by clothing or bedding and is pried loose, or if the extra silicone blocks the user's fingers from working the cone into place for a good application.
>>I have definitely gained a lot more skin from wearing it <<
Skin is much easier to expand than shaft. Short-term gains in skin mobility can masquerade as skin expansion. But for improved sex, foreskin restorers don't care where the slack came from. Wrapping your skin around the
VLC can slacken you some while it's a tight fit, but gains will tail off. If skin expansion is not your goal be sure to measure Forced Erect Coverage monthly to make sure you know what's doing.
>> make sure I'm getting a proper fit so it will pull the shaft instead of just skin. <<
Keep the skin supple (apply any moisturizer fresh out of the shower). Roll skin up to cover as much of the white inner part as you comfortably can.
>>do you sell just the cone without anything else? <<

This was the second conversation we had because I think Ron thought I was referring to the clear skin cone on some of the questions but actually I was asking about the white cone that is applied first to the glans.
>>I was wondering if that cone (white) should fit more "snug" with out any gaps. <<
I don't think the gaps are relevant to the seal.
>> I might have more blood in my glans so when I put on the white cone it fits more "snug" without any gaps around the bottom and I feel I get more suction and I don't have that feeling of it lifting off the glans <<
I think I would chalk that up more to the skin being stretched out evenly over the white surface.
>>when I was asking about if you sold the cone by itself, again I was referring to the white cone <<
Yes of course. MOShttp://f83.535.myftpupload.com/product/vlc-tugger-body/

So in conclusion I am thinking about going a size down in the white cone piece to see if I get more of a suction applied to the glans because as I stated I feel that I get my tension applied to the whole shaft when the white cone fits snug.
