A step-by-step guide to applying 3M plaster strips for a secure traction device hold, including skin prep, strip sizing, and removal without irritation.

Quick answer

Apply 3M plaster only to clean, completely dry skin behind the glans, size each strip to cover the sore spot with a small margin, and press it down for several seconds before attaching the strap or silicone tube. Remove it slowly along the skin line rather than pulling straight away.

Why the plaster goes behind the glans, not on it

The strap and silicone tube bear down on the skin just behind the glans, so that is where friction and soreness start. The plaster acts as an extra layer of skin there, taking the rubbing instead of your skin. Keep it off the glans itself and off any broken skin; if the area is already raw, stop and let it heal before resuming traction.

When a plaster strip is the right fix, and when it is not

Reach for a strip when the soreness is mild and clearly caused by strap or tube contact. It is not a solution for pain that comes from too much tension, a poor device fit, or skin that is already irritated. In those cases, reduce tension or take a break first; covering a problem with plaster can make it worse.

How many strips to expect from the 12-pack

Each strip is single-use, so plan on one strip per session and keep the pack sealed and dry between uses. A 12-pack is a practical trial size: enough to test whether the plaster approach suits your skin before committing to a larger supply. Store it away from heat and moisture so the adhesive stays reliable.

How to apply 3M plaster strips step by step

Clean and dry the skin: Wash the area behind the glans with mild soap and water, rinse well, and pat completely dry. Wait a minute or two so no moisture remains. Adhesive will not grip damp skin; if the strip lifts at the edges, dryness is the first thing to check.
Size the strip before peeling: Cut or select a strip that covers the sore spot with a small margin on each side. Rounding the corners reduces the chance of an edge curling up. A strip that is too large will wrinkle under the strap; too small and the edges lift.
Apply and press: Peel the backing, place the strip on the skin behind the glans, and press firmly with a clean finger for several seconds, working from the center outward. Do not stretch the skin while pressing; apply it in its natural position.
Attach the device over the strip: Fit the strap or silicone tube over the plaster as usual, keeping tension at your normal level. The plaster is a barrier, not a reason to tighten more. If the strap slides on the plaster, check that the strip is flat and fully pressed down before adding tension.
Remove slowly along the skin: At the end of the session, peel the strip back gently and slowly, following the skin line rather than pulling straight away from the body. If removal ever feels sharp, stop and ease the edge with a little water rather than ripping.
Rotate and rest: Use a fresh strip each session and give the skin time without plaster between sessions. If soreness persists despite the barrier, reduce tension or take a longer break. Persistent soreness is a signal to change your setup, not to add more layers.
