Yes I did use the grip system following my ligament cutting procedure. Dr. Reed wants you to start that program within days of having it done. I did it for about 6 months, pretty faithfully, although for lack of privacy issues where I live, I couldn\'t really do heavy weight
Hanging every day, but kept the low weight stretching on it all day long, at least 8 hrs a day under my clothing. As I stated before, I really didn\'t notice any appreciable change in
Erection length or any change in
Flaccid hang. Almost wonder if my ligament just repaired itself afterwards, as the penis at the base feels as well anchored as it did prior to the procedure. I really don\'t recommend doing this procedure, don\'t think it adds anything, and it hurt like hell for days afterwards.

For the most part I have been happy with my testicular implants. Reed does them differently than Elist, he doesn\'t use the cups overtop of your existing testes, he puts them in right in front of your existing testes. Now, if you\'ve already got more or less normal sized testes, I don\'t think the procedure would look right, as it would be very noticeable that you have a scrotum full of marbles so to speak. Reed started using newer implants, that weren\'t as hard as the ones he had used before. The right one feels very soft, very natural feeling. The left one for some reason hardened up much more, I think maybe it encapsulated as it\'s pretty well stuck to the underside of where the incision is, whereas my right one is easily mobile within the scrotum. Mine testicles had atrophied down to almost nothing as a result of damage from medications I was on years ago, so really all you see are the implants, and only if you were staring at my scrotum from my feet looking up to it with my legs open might you be able to notice something sitting behind the implants. What I didn\'t like is that the incision he made to put each one in was right on the front side of the scrotum, so you can see 2 incision scars on either side of my scrotum. Trying to stretch the skin out progressively so hopefully those will be less noticeable in the normal skin rugae/folds.
Couple of reasons Reed told me he doesn\'t do them like Elist is that the cup is stitched around the existing testis, so if it were to ever snap/come loose, your testes will pop out of it and you will then have your normal testicle and a foreign body more or less sitting in there which would probably be visible and not look right. His second reason is that he had some reports that men who had this done ended up with testicular function damage and maybe even
Atrophy of the testes either because the silicone cup raised the temperature of the testes and caused it to damage sperm production or maybe it induced a scarring reaction in the testicle. This could lead to infertility, perhaps loss of testosterone production and if the testicle atrophied, it would then be more susceptible for a now oversized cup to come off the thing and you end up with what I described above.
All in all though I like how they look, although I had a tight scrotum to begin with, so it\'s taken me a while to sort of stretch the skin out, and try to get the implants to hang a bit more and not be bunched up so close to the base of my penis. Have used some ball weights here and there which now stay on and don\'t slip off due to my previous small/atrophic testicles. I got some pretty big sized implants, about 2\" or 2.5\" (can\'t remember off the top of my head), but it does for some weird reason give me a lot of confidence, especially at the gym working out, as it gives me a little visible bulge in my gym shorts (since it pushes my
Dick up and out a bit more than it was before), and I don\'t have that \"mangina\" feeling anymore that I hated, especially when I took my clothes off and it was cold and everything was so shrunken up.
I had the Alloderm put in afterwards, wish I had known more about
PMMA when I decided to do that, as I think it would have been safe, cheaper and not given me the problems that it has. I may try to do
PMMA to touch up around the Alloderm grafts, as with the big
Balls, I think I would look a bit more proportioned with a bigger
Girth penis.
