The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision by expansion of residual tissue, as well as providing coverage of the glans.  According to research, the [[foreskin]] comprises over one-half of the skin and mucosa of the human penis.<ref>{{REFjournal

By growing more penile skin, foreskin restorers recover the skin mobility that was eliminated by their circumcision. The ability to [[gliding action|glide the skin of the penis over the glans]] constitutes a mechanical component of the stimulation mechanism of the penis.
