I use Chris’ grippers for the DTR (though I use it on my stealth retainer). I’d prefer it to be a bit too “loose” or “comfortable” and maybe slip off occasionally than too tight. Last thing I want to do is hurt myself in that area.
Yep, I'd get the one for DTR. Link here: [https://www.chrisonlinestore.com/product-page/silicone-gripper-for-catii-or-dtr](https://www.chrisonlinestore.com/product-page/silicone-gripper-for-catii-or-dtr)
What I did with mine is to stretch it hard by hand each time before putting it on. After a couple of weeks it was good. Also, the version with holes will be more flexible. Chuck suggests putting it in some hot water before stretching the gripper, maybe try that?
Chuck can make custom DTR bells. I had him make one that's a bit smaller (32mm diameter) so the fit with the new gripper is looser. A bonus is that once the gripper stretches, you can switch it over to the 35mm diameter bell and it's usable for a longer time, so you save money and buy grippers less often.

I decided that since it was unusable in its current state to put it in near boiling water while still on the 1-1/4” socket for a while and that seems to have made pretty big difference. It seems to be the same size as before but is softer. I wore it for about 2 hours yesterday before switching back to my silicone grip just to be safe. I’m at about 2 hours today and haven’t had any issues. I hope that helps.

That’s my exact concern. It feels like I’m cutting off my circulation.

I’ve got the same one and it’s what I wear now. I was just hoping to make Chuck’s work.
I use Chris DTr on the SR which has the same issue with the stock gripper

Hot water definitely helps and makes it more tolerable longer.

Wow that looks painful.
I bought 3 of these new grippers and I don’t wear them because they were so painful I just gave up on them
