I bought that. You could just as easily go to your local hardware store and buy those rubber washer tyoe things and use that. But the tape method is much eaier when starting out. I used the tape method for 3 and a half months and I have noticably looser skin. I quit doing i for the last 5 months because I"ve been under so much stress. I'm thinking about going back to using the T-tape method and then when my skin gets to loose for that I'll use the cones. Hopefully that helped.

THere's a book called "the joys of uncircumsizing", that will help you out a lot. I forget the guys name but the author is a christian minister who explains in the book that todays circumcisions is much more harmfull radical then back during the OT and jesus day. Also the reason there circumcision was started in our present day was to curb little boys from playing with themselves, it was thought that a circumsized male had less sensations which is true. Complain about circumcision to a feminist and they'lll say "how dare you compare circumcision to female genital mutilation'! That's the response I get. I believe circumcision IS genital mutilation. It's like the foreskin restorers bible. You can look it up on amazon.

I particularly liked the quote from a feminist I remember reading somewhere in Say No to Circumcision: "Well, if they can't take that, what can they take?"
Six or eight years ago I bought a whole package from a guy in Arizona for $100 (as I recall): tape, straps, special oil for removing the tape, instructional videos. It's still sitting in my closet; I found the whole subject too depressing to deal with, and the prospect of hassling with all that stuff every day for several years just more than I was up for. This sounds promising; maybe I'll give it a try.
I note that Cut/Uncut is mentioned (under "O-Rings") on NORM's "Restoration Devices" page, though nothing more is said about it. I get the impression NORM favors the "Foreballs" method pioneered by its founder, Wayne Griffiths (and sold on the page for $100). There seem to be a lot of different methods available; perhaps one of the sites on the "Foreskin Restoration Ring" (see bottom of NORM's home page) might offer more comparative discussion.
It may be that washers from the hardware store would do the same thing, but it looks like the Cut/Uncut folks have put some thought and trouble into making their product easy to use.
The Joy of Uncircumcising! is out of print, but available on line through the NORM site as an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file for $10. The NORM page says it'll be reprinted "within the next few months" (from when?). Copies are offered at Amazon "used" from $158.50! (Maybe I could sell my spare to pay for a kit or several.) One "collectible: like new" copy is priced at $2,475.

Damn I'm sitting on a gold mine! You could try the library I know that my local library has it.

Talk about supply and demand! $2,475? I think maybe it's a better deal to buy the PDF and have it printed and bound, LOL!

Unfortunately there's no way to tell on Amazon if any have actually sold for such prices. I get the impression a lot of listings on Amazon's "used" pages are entered by 'bots; some of the asking prices are amazing. I checked Half.com, where one is offered at $115, but the last one sold for $35, which seems more likely.

This "kit" consists of a series of easy-obtainable O-rings (try Pep Boys)at a ridiculous price. And while O-rings CAN help to restore the foreskin, it is a VERY slow and inefficient method.
