Premium materials & quality
Active Tugging + All-Day Retaining
This kit gives you the best of both worlds:
- Knob Tugger: Screws onto your P-tainer for manual tugging sessions—grab and pull to apply tension
- P-tainer Bulge: Swap in the bulge for comfortable all-day retaining between sessions
Start with short manual tugging sessions and work your way up. Consistency is key to seeing results.
Shed Glans Build Up
For cut guys, these Stealth Retainer Kits utilize a modular gripping system to pull skin up around the glans to protect those erogenous zones.
- Regain sensitivity: Over time, the skin on and around the glans will shed tougher buildup, returning to a softer, more sensitive state
- Gain coverage: Skin being pulled up will stretch and lengthen over time, eventually acting as a natural barrier on its own

How it Works
Getting Started with Your Starter Kit
Step 1: Clean Everything
Clean your P-tainer and gripper using soap without moisturizers (Dawn Powerwash works well). Wash inner and outer surfaces, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Make sure your fingers are dry too.
Step 2: Install the Gripper
Inspect the gripper and ensure the raised bumps and line are facing out. Position it over the small end of The P-tainer, tilt slightly, and use your thumb to roll it over the knob until fully installed. Flip the gripper up to prepare for putting it on.
Step 3: Prepare Your Skin
Ensure you are soft and your shaft skin is clean—excess skin oil can cause the gripper to slip. Pull back any foreskin to fully expose your glans.
Step 4: Check the Sizing
The P-tainer should cover about 50% of your glans. It's better to be slightly too small than too big. If unsure, learn how to measure.
Step 5: Position The P-tainer
Position The P-tainer with the V-shaped notch facing toward the ground. Carefully align the V shape with your frenulum and gently place it against your glans.
Step 6: Roll Your Skin Up
Roll your shaft skin up the body of The P-tainer as far as you can. You may need to gently grab your skin and pull it up to get it all the way to the neck of the retainer. If you can't reach the neck, your P-tainer may be too long.
Step 1: Flip the Gripper Down
While holding your skin with one hand, use your other hand to carefully flip the gripper over the rolled-up skin.
Tip: Group your thumb, pointer, middle, and index finger together, placing them evenly around the gripper while it's flipped up. Hold your skin in place with your other hand, then press the edge of the gripper down evenly until it flips over the skin.
Step 2: Adjust Your Skin (Critical for Comfort & Grip)
Adjusting your skin under the gripper is critical to comfort and optimal grip:
- Gently pinch the gripper from the side while carefully pulling any extra or bunched-up skin down to the line around the gripper
- Work your way around the entire gripper until all skin is aligned with the raised line
- Double-check that no skin appears bunched up
- Give The P-tainer a tug to confirm a secure grip
- If you pulled too much skin out, flip the gripper back up and start again
Step 1: Attach the Knob Tugger
Screw the Knob Tugger into the threaded end of your P-tainer. Hand-tighten only—don't overtighten.
Step 2: Find a Comfortable Position
Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Many people find it easiest to tug while sitting on the toilet or in a private space.
Step 3: Apply Tension
Grip the Knob Tugger and pull gently but firmly. You should feel a stretch in your skin, but it should not be painful. Hold the tension for 10-30 seconds, then release.
Tugging Tips
- Start slow: Begin with 5-10 minute sessions, a few times per day
- Consistency matters: Regular short sessions are better than occasional long ones
- Listen to your body: Stop if you feel pain or discomfort
- Try different angles: Pulling straight out, up, or to the sides can target different areas
When You're Not Tugging
Swap out the Knob Tugger for the P-tainer Bulge to retain comfortably throughout the day between tugging sessions.
Stiff vs Soft Grippers
- Stiff Grippers (fully clear, not opaque) – Recommended for the highest grip available. Great for manual tugging sessions.
- Soft Grippers (opaque/cloudy) – Recommended for just retaining without tension. Maximum comfort for all-day wear.
Comfort Fit vs Snug Fit
- Comfort Fit: Same size as your P-tainer – gentler grip, great for beginners or longer sessions
- Snug Fit: One size smaller than your P-tainer – tighter grip for increased hold
Count the dots around the top of the gripper to determine size. Start with the same number as your P-tainer size.

Daily Wear
- For best results, wear 8-12 hours daily
- Take a break every 2-4 hours
- Check circulation regularly
- Reposition the gripper if needed (flip it back up and adjust your skin)
Underwear & Pants
- Most underwear styles work for just retaining
- Boxer briefs provide good support
- The retainer bulge creates a natural look under clothes
Activity Level
- Safe for most daily activities
- Remove for swimming or intense exercise
- Sweaty? A snug fit gripper helps reduce slippage
- Take breaks – Remove the device every 2-4 hours to check circulation
- Stop if uncomfortable – Numbness, pain, or discoloration means remove immediately
- Keep it clean – Wash your device and skin before each session
- Start slow – Let your body adjust to wearing the retainer before adding tension

AWESOME PRODUCT
From: Craig - Verified Purchase
Dec. 8, 2024
So far I'm extremely pleased with this set up! I've been restoring for almost 2 years using T tape method. I never retained before. I got this product Monday afternoon and put it on immediately. It's Thursday now and it only been off for a few minutes. Sleep with it on, shower with it on, pee with it on. It's very comfortable to wear for sure. Saw some reviews that say other wise. Must have got missed in quality control. Mine is flawless and comfortable dont even know it's on. I have a fair amount of skin I think I could get an extended one and I definitely would like to get a custom gripper. Don't hesitate to get one. Zac has been a huge help and I'm sure if there was an issue he'd work to correct it. Buy it you won't regret it. I don't! I'm so excited to gain back sensitivity!! BUY IT!!!
This is actually working!

I ordered the Starter Kit in November 2021. By early December I was trying yet another foreskin restoration product. Over the years I've tried my share of tape, stretching, clamping techniques. I'd always start out with enthusiasm and for a variety of reasons I would only last a matter of days. Tape would make the skin tender. Clamp devices would be uncomfortably. Well, I decided to try the Stealth Retainer products and technique. I will add the disclaimer that I am working naked from home so I don't have the issues of stuffing this into my pants. A few weeks of daily wear lead me to purchase some weights and now early April I just put on the steel version of the Stealth Retainer! Yes, I like this enough to invest in the steel version! As for the Starter Kit version - it is a great "is this right for me" and it can be the permanent long term final version to continue. I wear mine from when I wake in the morning until late afternoon or into the evening. I have not been sleeping with it on. When I do leave the house I remove any screw on weights because I find the movement of walking can cause the rubber holding the skin down to shift and suddenly I need to remove it right away. The skin of the shaft lately is becoming slightly itchy. Upon reading online, this is to be expected because the skin is regrowing from stretching! Super excited to have a product that is comfortable!
Very comfortable and easy to use

I bought the stealth retainer to wear when I am not using my DTR tugger (a cheap thing I got off of ebay). The stealth retainer is so much more comfortable than my tugger, and importantly, it stays on securely and I can wear it all day without problem. Because it's so much better than my cheap tugging device, I am purchasing a weight set to use as well.
