Some men prefer the look of the intact penis and will regrow their foreskin for aesthetic reasons, while others resent not having a choice as with infant circumcision. However the majority of men will regrow their foreskin to seek the great increase in sensitivity reported by restored men. Whatever the reason, a man should ask himself if he is ready to undertake a project that will take years to complete and permanently affect the most private area of his body.
This works by pulling the skin of the penile shaft over the glans and applying tension (either manually or using a device) until new skin cells are produced and the tissue on the skin of the penis expands. Once the foreskin has expanded enough to cover the glans, the tissue beneath becomes less calloused and some of the hidden nerve endings are restored, resulting in increased sensitivity.
Cost: Although some methods cost nothing (manual tugging) others require expensive ($40 to $300) equipment. Level of commitment: How much time you’re willing to invest in regrowing your foreskin will affect which method you should use. Type of activity throughout restoration time (work, exercise, etc. ): Many restoration devices require a weight to be worn on the penis for hours at a time, which could be impractical if you live an active lifestyle. The amount of “extra” skin (i. e. skin folds) you currently have: Some tugging devices (such as the CAT II, DTR or TLC-X) require a certain amount of loose skin before they can be used. Therefore if you’re cut very tightly, your options may be more limited, at least at first. Whether you have more shaft or mucosal skin: Shaft skin is from the circ scar line to the base of the penis and is called “outer” skin. Mucosal skin goes from the corona of the glans to the scar. Since this skin will fold against the glans and therefore be “inside” the prepuce, it’s referred to as “inner” skin.
Manual tugging is the cheapest and easiest method of regrowing your foreskin, but it requires a lot of commitment as it can take a long time before any obvious results are achieved.
Your morning shower is a good time to practice tugging, as the water helps to prevent the skin from becoming irritated. You can also tug while watching TV (alone) or while taking a bathroom break (if you use a stall).
Use one hand to encircle the shaft of your penis near the scrotum and the other to encircle the shaft near the glans. Then gently begin pulling the skin in opposite directions. Hold the stretch for 5 to 30 seconds, then release for several seconds before repeating. This tugging method is very effective as it creates tension around the full circumference of the shaft.

The best thing to do is start out slow, until you get used to tugging process. This will help to prevent the skin on your penis from becoming sore or irritated. Try tugging for 15 minute intervals, 4 to 8 times per day. Over time, you can increase the length of time you tug for and the amount of tension you apply - if you feel it’s necessary.

TLC tugger: With the TLC tugger, a silicone plug is placed against the glans, then the shaft skin is pulled up over the plug and held in place with a soft rubber cap. You can then attach one end of an elastic strap to the TLC and the other end around the knee or leg, in order to apply pulling tension. Weights can also be used. TLC-X device: Short for “TapeLess Conical eXtensible,” this device is effective as it can be extended as you gain skin, making it a more long-lasting piece of equipment. Weights or straps can also be used to increase tension. It’s available online for about $80. CATIIQ device: CATIIQ is short for “Constant Applied Tension II Quick. " The benefit of this device is that it can be attached and detached from the penis quickly and easily. It’s available online and on eBay for around $80. DTR device: DTR is short for “Dual Tension Restorer. " It’s available online for about $90. MySkinClamp: Made from medical-grade stainless steel, this device functions similarly to the CATIIQ and DTR. Foreballs: These require some foreskin, which is drawn over one of the balls and taped in place. Penile Uncircumcising Device: Or PUD, is placed against the glans, the skin is drawn over the PUD and taped in place. Weight of the PUD applies tension.
Comfortable and effective, this method suits many restorers and can be worn 24 hours or more, including during sleep. Drawbacks include the time it takes to apply and remove the tape, discomfort when removing and the lack of spontaneity when amorous.
With O-Rings, shaft skin is drawn over the glans and fed through the ring. The skin then naturally pulls back, which creates tension as the ring is drawn back against the glans. This method requires more loose skin than many beginning restorers have, so it is a good option once you have already developed a certain amount of loose skin.
Though some men report initial gains, don’t expect to see immediate results. Remember, the race goes not to the swift nor the strong but to he who endures to the end! If you really feel that a particular tugging method isn’t working for you, try switching things up. You might find that a different manual tugging technique or a new device is more effective for your body.
Listen to your body and stop if you notice any redness, rawness or pain. If you are experiencing pain, you are either tugging to much or tugging for too long and you need to be more gentle or cut back.
Because the process is so long, you won’t notice gradual changes over months of work. But pulling up an image from last year can really surprise you. Get extreme close ups (member should fill the frame) from the front and each side. Use the same location and lighting conditions every time. Take one set of pictures a month and remember to date the photos. Store them on a computer only you have access to or password-protect their location.
Surgical foreskin restoration works by grafting skin from another area of the body (usually the scrotum - which has similar muscle tissue) onto the end of the shaft. Surgical restoration is much faster than regrowing the foreskin, however it is very costly and many men have reported dissatisfaction with the surgery.

National Institutes of Health Go to source Surgical restoration is mainly for men who want to restore their foreskin for aesthetic reasons, as unfortunately this option cannot restore sensitivity.
