Hydro 7 makes my balls hurt. Thinking about switching to a hercules.

[Manx]

About 6 or 7 years ago I bought a bathmate (maybe an x40). It made my balls hurt. I then got a hercules. That was a lot more comfortable. I think the difference was that the base was a lot narrower. I'm about 7x5 inches but narrower round the base.

I then went through a period of deciding that I was done with PE and i threw out my bathmates. I recently decided to give the bathmate another go so I bought the hydro7, thinking it was the same as the hercules but with a different name. It actually seems like it's wider at the base than the hercules was. It hurts my balls just like the x40 used to. So i was thinking of getting a hercules again (there are still a few around).

Would it be worth it? Would it be more comfortable? Less ball suckage?

I've googled a bit and seen a few solutions. Placing cock and balls in the tube together. Using the bathmate backwards (with the measurement lines facing towards your feet). Wearing some ball stretcher or bandage/hair band around the balls while pumping. I guess I'll try these first.

Those are all suggestions that came from here LOL give these a try and see how that works but I’m sure you’ll find a method that works for you. Usually turn the pump to one side or the other or even upside down will be better for some men due to the shape of their pubic bone.

Ball stretcher doesn't help at all. Using the bathmate back to front seems to be less uncomfortable but still not great. I'll try sideways on next. Still tempted to get a hercules. Looks like the gaither is narrower than the hydro 7 so that would probably make a difference. I'll have to send a message to any retailers that stock the hercules though because it seems some of them are listing the hercules when what they actually stock is the hydro7. I'll try some other stuff with my hydro 7 first though.

If the problem is it seems to wide, can’t you just try to position it better?

Instead of having your dick right in the center, have it in the back-center, so the base is closer to your dick in the back then the front.

I use the Hydromax7 and Hydromax9, and I have to change how and where around my dick I put them.

How often to you ejaculate? My balls are often sore from using the Bathmate. I’ve been using the Hydromax7 in the shower in the morning, close to 100% but without the wine vac mod... and I use the Hydromax9 before bed in the bath with the wine vac, and try to get max expansion.... however, my balls always feel better after ejaculation, and I ejaculate appreciably more in volume than I use to. I almost feel that the Bathmate causes epididymal hypertension (blue balls) or some sort of epididymis congestion.

Looks like the best solution is generally considered to be getting a pump with a narrower base or getting some kind of pad to fit under the bathmate and reduce the size of the opening. I guess this would be a cheaper solution if I can find the right thing. Anyone got any suggestions for this? Some product to reduce the size of the opening? Some people suggest using a cock ring at the base. I already tried putting a stretcher on my balls and that didn't help.

Guess they have a product specifically designed for this issue...

The write ups seem to suggest that they are designed for the hydromax and hydro extreme lines. Doesn't mention the hydro 7.
I found one post from a guy who tried it and found it hard to keep it lined up so wouldn't recommend it.

Ah, looking closer at photos of the Hercules I think I'm wrong about the gaiter being narrower on the hercules. It looks basically identical to my hydro7. In fact I suspect that the only difference between the two models is the sticker. This must be the exact same design as the hercules that I used years ago. I must have just forgotten how to make it more comfortable, or maybe I just forgot how uncomfortable it always was...

A lot of the threads are by guys who say they have a turkey neck. I wonder if that's part of the problem. I used to use my hercules before i got circumcised. Now i have a pretty tight circ with a definite turkey neck. Maybe my newly acquired turkey neck is exacerbating what was once a minor ball suckage problem.

Just to add one thing here turkey neck can be completely dealt with using the testicle Health massage and stretch found in the newbie routine.
