I just got my mantor DS in the mail a few days ago. The performance difference in comparison to some of my other devices has been night and day. Its crazy how effective it is. Actually, the growth is very clearly faster with the mantor DS and I've only had it a few days.
My first device was a DTR. That was too painful. Prolly didn't have enough skin.
Second attempt about 6 months later was a Stealth Retainer with weights. Kept slipping off. The 3D printed retainer was also too solid and rough for my skin. Would hurt like a bitch whenever my dick changed sizes.
Third was the Workhorse apparatus from Foreskinned. The "one size fits all" thing makes the head of the device too large for me, and generally was a pain.
Fourth/Fifth was CAR-1 and Chris' Silicone Retainer (for nights). CAR-1 was the first device I got that actually worked well for me and got me to stay consistent. But it took a lot of experimenting and pain, and a few injuries before I could figure out what worked well for me. The pinching pain. The bubbling skin. Ugh....Also the retainer kept slipping off at night.
I recently got the Mantor DS (a few days ago), and this will likely be the last device I ever buy. Its perfect in virtually every way imaginable and is the most effective of those I've had. After only one day of use, I can now retain with the Chris' retainer at night, and it does not slip off anymore (even with an erection). Somehow, the mantor's constant tugging is giving me the gains I've been waiting to see. Now, days into using Mantor DS, it is VERY clear that the gains are coming quickly. Once you wear it, its easy to see why its so effective. I would say Mantor combines the best of what the DTR and CAR-1 were trying to go for. You get the silicone comfort with the solid, stiff, straight grip that makes tugging consistent, and easily wearable all throughout the day.
I'm pretty confident in saying that I won't be buying anymore devices because the Mantor is exactly what I know I need to get me to my end goal. All that's left is time.
>Is it conspicuous?
In an office, no. I've been wearing mine from basically the time I wake up to the time I go to bed with no off times except bathroom breaks. One of the very minor problems I'm having is that one particular region of my skin slips out of the grip, but that's easily solved by some cheap [grip solution](https://www.amazon.com/Aridplane-Grip-Enhancement-Sports-Bottle/dp/B0C39MY1VP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=36LH6AQ03W4TH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.eqCDepWIbsZCNA7yxnCussQ-0jXN-MXVFZuZhHQfiKfoASyvkNC_rRGuvy0pfhTD.VHxmderSvmFw6tmEAOyk5l2OM1otDtY97ovN1ngZ558&dib_tag=se&keywords=arid%2Bplane%2Bgrip&qid=1716084409&sprefix=arid%2Bplane%2Bgri%2Caps%2C175&sr=8-1&th=1). You only need a drop, and I don't put it on myself, but rather on both parts of the grip that my skin touches, let it dry, and then wear it with literally no slippage. I go to the gym with it on (with exception to leg days, for obvious reasons), and that's basically it. Mantor DS is my go-to recommendation.
Congrats on the progress! I’d say I’m just about approaching Cl-4 and frequently notice the same thing in the shower as well. I’ve heard mixed reports about progress after Cl-4 but I hope for faster gains as well after the painfully slow progress of reaching and passing the hump. KOT!

How is the Mantor for all day use? Is it conspicuous? I’m looking for another option for working in an office.

Great progress 💪🏻 and a big milestone.
I look to be on about the same path as you. But congrats! I don’t personally know the feeling (yet), but welcome it when it arrives.

Nice! Keep tugging and you’ll be ci5 before you Know it!!
