The practice of foreskin restoration was revived in the late twentieth century using modern materials and techniques. In 1982 a group called Brothers United for Future Foreskins ([[BUFF]]) was formed,<ref name="kennedy2015" /> which publicized the use of tape in non-surgical restoration methods. Later in 1991, another group called UNCircumcising Information and Resources Centers ([[UNCIRC]]) was formed.<ref name="Bigelow - uncirc">{{REFjournal

Reports indicate that some men have restored their [[foreskin]] to the degree that their [[glans penis]] will remain covered, even during [[erection]]. This is called CI-10 on the [https://www.restoringforeskin.org/coverage-index/CI-chart.htm coverage index].


When the [[glans penis]] is habitually covered by the regrown foreskin, the increase in protection, plus moisture and oil from [[transudation]] provided by the new [[foreskin]], will result in [[Keratinization#De-keratinization_treatment| de-keratinization]] of the [[glans penis]], an increase in sensation, a smoother, more glossy texture, and usually a more purplish color in Caucasian men.

[[Circumcised]] men who start to restore usually establish a set amount of new foreskin that they would like to restore. However, as they restore, they become so delighted with the results that they move the goal to create more [[foreskin]] than originally planned.

[[Foreskin regeneration]] is only theoretical as of 2024. No foreskin has ever been regenerated. There is no assurance that foreskin regeneration would actually be successful, if attempted.

|quote=Many, many years ago, something terrible happened to your old friend Santa. Like so many beautiful babies, I was born with a gift between my legs that was wrapped in very sensitive paper called the frenulum. But soon after, some naughty doctors tore it off, exposed my glans, and hurt my penis very badly!
