Modification Thoughts and Tips?

Torching seems a little extreme and may discolour the material. I have polished mine with a polishing wheel but you have to be careful not to leave the polisher on the same spot for too long and the friction develops heat.

I’m not sure about the specifics of the material safety but I’d be hesitant to torch plastic polymers then use them with lubricants in your delicate parts. It seems like a recipe for making hazardous chemicals then introducing them into your body.

For sanding, there was one user who posted about sanding the trident models. I believe that discussion is in the trident review thread from the first few weeks of their release.

P-tab flattening or modifying used to be a more popular topic. I’ve heard of a lot of reversible modifications like using a cut portion of an earplug, hot glue or even silicone plumbing putty. I’d try one of those before you make a permanent mod.

I've been experimenting, creating adjustable P-tabs and K-tabs. The idea being that each is on a pole which can move up, down, in and out. Its held tight by a small nut and bolt. However the aformentioned up-down movement isn't sturdy enough yet (making it sprung would be ideal but that's even more fiddly)

Know this isn't what you were asking, but I similarly have trouble keeping the P-tab in the perfect spot, thus modification.
If I ever get the process to a point where its easily repeatable, i'll make a full post.

@Zenopause I'm presuming you've read [USER="54633"]busdrvr[/USER]'s posts on sanding/polishing? I'd be very interested to hear how the results of your method vary to his!
But yeah, be careful, don't be inhaling burnt plastic.

Thanks for the input, men. I'll be careful, and you talked me out of pyrotechnics. Kazama, I love your MacGyer mentality- me too. First stop for sensory pleasures is the garage. Please keep us posted on the moving posts and ideas, would you? I'll consider that spring, although I can see myself doing it for a whole weekend then snapping something. I've thought about a really buff piece of single strand copper or something that I could bend into whatever positions I want, but I don't know how I'd affix it...mebbe drill a little hole in the bottom and feed it through. Gotta think on that one, and decide if the cost of wrecking things is worth it in the name of science. Good luck, mate.

Hahaa yeah, I've modded fleshlights too. Perhaps with a little less flair than you @Zenopause !
Lets hope our current endeavors don't explode like half of MacGyver's crazy stunts heheheh.

I hadn't considered using copper or wire to make tabs from scratch, it's a good plan. That it's now possible to coat something homemade in silicone just makes the idea more appealing. I don't want to lose the natural springiness found in the arms of the existing models though...hmmm.

Something you've also probably read in searches but is worth mentioning; Some guys on the forum have heated and bent the tabs on their Aneros so it fits them better.
If you are considering making your own tabs, there is less risk trying that method (still be careful). If it doesn't work you can continue with the original plan anyway.

I polish all my massagers to a high gloss finish. I use a variety of sandpaper, from 1000/1500/2000, and do a final polish with a buffing wheel and automotive polishing compound. I do not care for the stock finish, and the slick surface increases movement and makes cleaning easier.

Busdrvr, you're persuading me to buy a buffing wheel. I don't know much about them, though- would a bench grinder with buffing attachments work? I'd get more mileage with a grinder for non-get-offy work.

And Kazama, re. heating and moving the tabs, have you tried it? I'm not entirely sure I've found the perineum sweet spot that the tab is supposed to target; all the sensation down there feels pretty good, so I don't know if I'd move the tab closer to my backside or balls. What's your experience?

@Zenopause I use FDA approved silicone putty that's made to mend cracks/leaks on water pipes that pass potable water. The stuff is quite inert and does not ever react with my skin. I apply a ball of it to the Ptab of choice, mold it around, and voila, a flat-ish pad in place of the more direct point-oriented ptab. Since I never got really anything from the ptab contact with my perineum, I'm not missing out on much. Now the toys all stay straight and don't slip side to side as the toy moves in and out of me. The centering was what actually brought me to full on prostate orgasms; before I mod'd the Ptabs of my toys I had only gotten like 90% of the way there. When I mod'd my MGX (first toy I did it to) it was instant Os upon first use! (Well, I had Os before that moment for about a week or two, but not having to keep moving the toy and repositioning it all session long made for more relaxation and perfect centering). Once the putty sets and dries it can be sanded and reshaped through carving/sanding to get it perfect.

Used to be able to get small tubes of this stuff at Lowe's but they quit stocking it. I got mine off Amazon. If interested I'll find the name of it, I can't remember off the top of my head.

Techpump-

I'd be much obliged for that product name. Your experiences sound like mine thus far- not quite sure where the P tab is supposed to go, and it doesn't seem to matter much. I move it around from side to side and front to back, and it all feels pretty good, but sort of the same. What feels great when I do this is the motion you're describing, the movement back and forth on my prostate. I think I'll give it a go. And on this thread, what's your 2pence on the K tab of the Tridents? I just tried the Eupho T for the first time, and while I enjoyed the subtlety, the K didn't quite reach its target, and it floated in space most of the time. A removable cap like an eyedropper's, or a permanent mod like yours?

I appreciate your advice- I've read quite a bit of it.

Best, Z

Zeno, with regards to bending the P-tab, if it all feels pretty good down there I wouldn't bother changing it. The K-tab on your Eupho T might benefit from some form of adjustment though. When the altered K-tab makes contact, the P-tab shouldn't "creep off-centre" so much.

rubber pipe and cut the arms and join the arms back together . not doing it on mine yet
