If you can put on a 5 mm phimostretch ring or higher, you have now entered into level 2 category. At this stage, you can now see your glans as well as meatus. You may also find that your glans is quite sensitive to physical touch. However, we realized that the Kayaba classification is still very loosely defined and we wanted to provide more specific metrics and details for each stage that will help you in understanding your current state of phimosis. We will also go through some pros and cons of each stage. So, let’s get right down to the classification- Level 1- Pinhole Phimosis (Upto 4mm)

This method is for smaller to medium-sized rings, generally in the range of 24 mm or less. It may be a smaller range for people whose glans width/diameter is smaller. It may be bigger for people with wider girth. So, 24 mm is not a strict rule but it may vary from person to person. However, we have found that 24 mm is about the range for most people. We would like to point out that it is going to be very rare where you can not put on a bigger ring if your current size ring is loose enough. Chances are that if you are unable to move on to the bigger ring size, your current ring is still snug and tight enough that it is providing sufficient stretch to your phimotic band. In most cases, users want to rush to the next ring size and they end up hurting their foreskin by using a bigger ring. You should avoid that.For example, if you use ring size 22 mm but find out that it is coming off, then you will need to go one size higher which is a 24 mm ring. The right size ring should fit within the phimotic band to provide a gentle stretch. As you transition from level 2 to level 3 phimosis, you will find that you can now retract behind the corona/ridge of the glans (when flaccid) but it will still be tight over the shaft and create a horseshoe shape Level 3- Can retract behind corona when flaccid ( 18 mm to 26mm) but not when erect Remember that your current ring should fall by itself regularly before you decide to put on the next ring size. If you are following this piece of advice, your next ring size should just be the right size that you will be able to put it on without any issues.

Chances of paraphimosis during intercourse is even higher than level 3. Hence wear condoms during intercourse to avoid it. Chances of paraphimosis are very high during normal masturbation or intercourse (without a condom) but the paraphimosis can be more easily resolved by pushing the foreskin forward since the opening is very close to a normal foreskin opening. The urologist recommended I get a circumcision, but as I'm sure you're all aware the foreskin is one of the most nerve-dense tissues on the male body.

All you need to do is apply consistent stretching on the phimotic band diameter. Here is a picture of the phimotic band, which in a normal foreskin, is just referred to as ridged band or preputial band- LIFETIME WARRANTY -We also provide lifetime warranty which means if you lose or break something, we ll send you a replacement free of cost.
