i am experiencing this same issue, even with the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98 ]X-40[/words]. i am taking a few days off to let the chafing/ broken skin heal. i was thinking maybe some foam wrap around the base? it can absorb water and compress alot without cutting off circulation. worth a try. :/ i will give it a shot tomorrow or the next day. cheers
