7)  Do you have 'on the body photos' ?

 

No, I don’t publish photos or videos of the prosthesis on a body.

I did that once in 2007 - and I still have people telling me the Phase2 was better than everything since. The Phase2 in reality though,  looked more like a cartoon version of the Phase3. The Phase2 was of a much stiffer silicone and had no colour variation. It was, in every way, a much less developed device. But people saw it "on the body" so it looked really good. 

 

It's too easy to make such photos look really bad or really good. Of course I'd rather make them look good – so - 'on the body' photos feels to me like false advertising. Please see no hype policy.

 

 

 

8)  How do I place the prosthesis correctly?

 

Set the prosthesis so that it's comfortable.
Too high will make a larger looking bulge.
With the Phase5, when erect, you want the knob to press on the base/begin of your mini penis/clitoris. When flaccid, the knob tucks in a bit higher.

 

 

9)  How do I use the toilet when the prosthesis is attached?

 

Raise the scrotum (balls), or push the prosthesis to the side and do as usual. The plate is attached to you, but the prosthesis is pliable and squishable and the parts move fairly freely away from your body while the plate stays attached (and holding the prosthesis in place). 

 

(With the t2 Simple, you can hook-up a compatible STP device if you know of a compatible device that works well for you. The t2 Simple is not an STP device).

 

 

10)  Can I Stand to Pee with the prosthesis attached? 

 

The Phase_ prosthesis is not an STP, and has no connection for an STP device. 

The simple has a hole to connect a compatible STP device. It is not an STP device. 

 

You can always push the prosthesis to the side or forward out of the way, and use an STP device that works for you.

 

If you order a prosthesis and want to try the JetP, or an alternative STP device I'm working on, please let me know. (I will update this very soon, general info on the JetP is here www.jetP.net)

 

If you have had the urethra extension surgery (the labia minora sewn together and up to form a urethra extension connected to your (mini) penis), likely what you have is too short to get all the urine past your pants. Ask me about the P-tube I've created. It's similar to the JetP but with a "catch" made for different anatomy, and it's just a funnel, no siphon system. It's very easy to use. 

 

 

11)  Can you go swimming with it on? Will salt water / chlorine affect it?

 

Water can enter the pump (the right testicle) of the Phase_ when you swim or bathe. Press the water out of the pump before putting on your clothes. (I include 'swim plugs' with each prosthesis in case you prefer to keep the hole shut. Currently:  small plastic bolts, which you can use it you find that better than without). 

 

If the prosthesis develops a hole it's no longer watertight. If water gets under the ‘skin’ of the prosthesis, that won't damage the prosthesis nor have an effect on how it functions. (You will want to press the water out of the prosthesis before you put on your clothes to avoid any leaking.)

 

With adhesive: Water (also salt water) has no adverse effect. Soapy water can soften the adhesive.

 

I've not found any affect of chlorine, but still assume that strongly chlorinated water must affect the prostheses somewhat over time.

 

 

 

12)  How long/often can you wear it?

 

They are made to be worn all the time: 24/7

 

 

 

13)  Can I wear the prosthesis if I've had scrotoplasty? Metidioplasty? 

 

If you have large growth and surgical release, you might find that your penis rubs uncomfortably against the back of the prosthesis. Noone has reported that, but I assume it must be so for some. 

 

If you have a scrotum, the prosthesis will likely be too bulky. Contact me if you would like to discuss ordering a prosthesis without the scrotum (with a separate pump, or a Simple version with no erection function). 

 

 

14)  Troubleshooting?

 

When someone reports a problem, I address it in the handbook (updated regularly) and/ or work to alter the design.
Troubleshooting is often specific to each individual prosthesis, and I need information to improve the prostheses for everyone. So please e-mail me when there’s a problem. That is what this project is about. I spend much of my time altering the design to reduce problems and increase durablity and comfort. 

 

 

 

15)  How does the erection process work?

 

You squeeze the right ball to pump air into the shaft. You are pumping about 3-4 times the air that would "fill" the penis at size of erection. There is no risk of the penis "exploding" when pumped per hand. In the case of a leak or a hole, the air just escapes and the penis returns to flaccid. 

 

 

 

16)  How long does it take to form an erection?

 

About 20 pumps. This should take about 15 seconds.

 

 

 

17)  How does it go from erect to flaccid?

 

You release the air by pressing a release valve. It takes a few seconds. Most people find the current version easy to do, but you must first learn how.

When you first receive your prosthesis, you practice the release valve before pumping to erection. Instructions will be in your handbook when you receive your prosthesis. 

 

 

 

18)  How does the "integrated knob for sexual feeling" stimulate?

 

The knob is a firmer part at the base of the erection. Stimulation is pressure and rubbing on the small penis (or clitoris).

 

Each person reacts differently to stimulus; there is no guarantee as to how the knob will feel for you.

 

 

 

19)  How does it feel for my partner?

 

Feedback received from and about partners has usually been very positive. ( I say "usually" because it hasn't been 100% positive 100% of the time for the past 2 decades, but I think it's safe to say that everyone finds the erection feels very "real"). 

 

 

 

20)  Will the prosthesis stay attached for sex regardless of position?

 

No, there are always various issues with attachment. For info see attachment methods

 

 

With the band only, the prosthesis sits very well for daily wear and activity, especially with loose underwear or naked. But for sex, you will likely need to do something like: lower your underwear but keep them on. Place the waistband of your underwear between your scrotum and penis – this keeps the prosthesis firmly enough in place against your body.

 

The band + methods make the prosthesis stay in place tighter to the body, but you might find this pulls/tugs too much on the hairs to rely on it all the time, or at all. The system works for some, which is why I include it. But it's not a solution for everyone.

 

Adhesive works differently with all people – for some very well, others not reliable enough.

 

If you choose to wear a harness, be aware that the silicone of your prosthesis is soft, and if you want your prosthesis to last, you shouldn’t wear anything that could damage the prosthesis. The prostheses are not made to be worn with a harness.

 

 

 

21)  Is the erection firm enough for anal sex?

 

It’s as firm as any healthy erection. It is firm enough for any form of penetrative sex.

 

 

 

22)  Will sex partners notice it’s a prosthesis?

 

Yes. Like with any prosthesis (no matter how many hair follicles and moles are added), anyone who you are intimate with will know that it’s a prosthesis. It is made of silicone, it is not permanently attached to the body, and the erections are not spontaneous.

 

 

 

23)  Do you make custom sizes?

 

No. Sizes are as shown on this website.

You can ask for a smaller erection (shorter and/or thinner).

I have the one size only, because this is a design project. I make and use one set of forms, and one set of calculations, which I regularly update/ alter during the design process.

 

 

 

24)  When flaccid, does the penis hang down?

 

Yes.

 

 

 

25)  Do the prostheses lose shape over time?

 

No.

 

 

 

26)  Will the colour fade over time?

 

The colour will change slightly over time due to skin oils but will continue to look natural. 

 

 

 

27)  Can you see the attachment areas?

 

Yes. The attachment areas are mostly hidden under the prosthesis. In most lighting you can see where the prosthesis begins (pubic hair helps hide this). If you use the band method, you can see the band - thin, small, but still, a band. 

 

 

 

28)  Do you make hairpieces?

 

No, and I'm not planning to as they are really hard to keep clean and attached without damaging the prosthesis.

 

 

 

29)  Will I be comfortable in a locker room/ public shower/ sauna (naked)?

 

While the prostheses look realistic at a glance, they are not realistic enough to go unnoticed in all situations/viewpoints/ angles/ lighting (no prosthesis is - no matter what is advertised). 

 

Situations where you are naked for a short amount of time and not under scrutiny should be no problem at all (ex. changing into swim-shorts), but please use your discretion.

 

Also, there is the attachment (adhesive which may soften or the elastic band which can be seen.)

 

 

 

30)  Does it look circumcised or uncircumcised?

 

Circumcised. Uncircumcised options are planned for later, when I can make the skin thin enough while strong enough.

 

 

 

31)  Are they made from “Cyberskin” (or any more modern version of...)?

 

No - they are made from very soft, 100% toxin free professional prosthetic-making platinum silicones. “Cyberskin” or similar is made with additives which I do not trust touching skin for any length of time. 

 

 

 

32)  Is there anything toxic or anything that could cause allergies in the prostheses?

 

If you use adhesive to attach the prosthesis, be sure to remove the glue build up on the plate every once in awhile (that is a place where bacteria and fungus can grow).

 

The prosthesis and parts are all internally lubricated with coconut oil. If you are allergic to coconut oil, please contact me to see if there is something else I can use in production and you can use for periodic lubrication.  Nothing I know of works as well as coconut oil, but there are other options.

Some elastics options for the band method:  If you use the band method to attach your prosthesis, you may have a local skin reaction to the elastic you use. This usually goes away after a few times washing the elastic. The elastic is sold online from several places, and not labelled correctly. It is not a medical silicone, but some sort of plastic mix. If you have known allergies, please take care. If you contact me about it, I can give you further ideas/ information. 

 

 

 

 

33)  Is there any substance, material or object that could harm me or my partner(s)? (see previous question above for allergies and skin reactions.)

 

The prosthesis is designed with much thought to safety and comfort. There are no toxins involved in production or materials, nothing hard and nothing that can fall off, hurt of or cause damage. 

Of course it is important and your responsibility to keep it clean and practice safer sex.
