emisil + adhesive

[AdamMLP]

Thanks for the update, nowhereboi, please let us know what happens with the new adhesive and also if the new prosthetic is different.

Does anyone know if the owner is FTM?  If not, it really does explain how he wouldn't be good at testing whether or not this thing stays adhered between one's legs!

Even of he isn't I'd have thought that he could test it on skin elsewhere just to see if it would stick.

I'd probably do if I was a designer just for the novelty factor of having a penis sprouting from my knee or something.

lol

I am just trying to figure out why the guy said it adhered when he first came out with the product (it didn't), and then said it changed the product so that it NOW adheres (and it still doesn't).  How does he not know it doesn't adhere long term (past like 30 minutes)?  Changing a product then advertising this change as adhering only to fail again?  Not good for business.  He should just ask any female bodied person to wear it for research if he is unable to wear it himself.  I am just trying to figure out what the deal is.  His dealings with nowhereboi seems to indicate a desire to please his customers, so kind of confusing.

I guess if I am reading nowhereboi right this is the first time he will try the specific adhesive Emisil recommends though, so there is hope.

EDIT:  I looked back at older posts.  I am incorrect.  The latest adhesive that didn't work for nowhereboi, Telesis, WAS sent by the company.  Hopefully, the one he just ordered will work.

So, the Telesis didn't work out for me. I've ordered the recommended Secure Brand adhesive, so we'll see how that goes.  It wasn't to expensive, and I figure if anything I can also use it with my yet-to-be-ordered RM in the future, so.

In super surprising news...Emisil is sending me ANOTHER prosthetic. 

They were concerned about the adhesion issue and decided to make more changes.  They apparently want me to test out their updated product?
I...don't know how that happened, but I'm super excited.

Hey!
Thanks so much for testing this out. I've actually been emailing them a few weeks ago and stated that I decided not to buy the prosthetic due to the adhesive issue and linked him to this thread! I guess they're actually being really proactive about this


This was the response I got:


Hello XXXX,

We have just read all comments in susans forum. We are going to take serious steps to improving the properties of adhesive to the body.

Best regards, Emisil

Hey guys, sorry I've been so late with the reviews, but my life is a little out of control at the moment.

I did get the chance to try out the "improved" prosthetic with the recommended adhesive, however.  The long story short is that it still doesn't adhere well.  The tab is thick, about 2x as thick as the original prosthetic I received. I believe this is due to a layer of textured silicone that was added to improve adhesion.  It DOES improve the adhesion, especially with the Factor 2 glue.  However, the thickness causes it to curl severely at the edges, which nearly undoes any advantage. It won't fall off, but it will slide around, leaving trails of adhesive everywhere. And it will look very, very strange.

FIY, adhesive on your delicate bits burns.  And it's pretty much impossible to get the stuff on without it getting exactly where it's not meant to be.  I imagine that this could be an even bigger issue for dudes with a lot of growth from T.  Combine that with the slide factor and you have a mess.  If you're a bigger person, your skin WILL stick together.  Clothes lint, pet hair, and and whatever else will stick to you and your prosthetic no matter what you do. Like the back of a sticker, or a piece of duct tape everything stays sticky, so...yeah.

And the remover is essentially paint thinner. Or lighter fluid. Not exactly something you want to put on your body, IMO. I really don't trust it, especially on areas that I had to shave to get stuck-together hairs off of...

I love the design and color and feel of the improved Emisil.  But as far as adhesion goes...it just didn't work well. Moreover, I don't think I like the process, mess or potential health risks of using adhesive and remover on my junk. So. I think I'm going to invest in some super sexy jocks and call it a day.  The great thing about Emisil's thinner tabs is that they make harness use a lot easier.  The overall look is a lot more realistic, as well as you don;t need to wear the shaft through a ring in order for it to stay on.  I made my own harness based on Raw Studio's C-Scoop jock and you can't even tell.

Hey, Nowhereboi, thanks so much for the review.  Thanks for hanging in there, and trying several from Emisil.  I feel like you took one for the team, and I, for one, thank you for that!

I hope life settles down for you.
