ROP Terror...

[swedeguy]

<

This morning I replaced the tubing on my ROP, put it on and went to work as usual. Just after leaving my house my skin started to sting. Big time. I couldn't go back since I was late as it was so I hurried to get to the tram in time.

Man, it hurted. I thought that I the skin on the scrotum actually was going to peel right off.

After 40 minutes I finally got to work where I could rush into the bathroom and take it off.

I don't understand how people do with the ROP, how do you put it on? If I stretch it enough for it to go over both my balls at once the latex tubing releases from the rods, if I do it one ball at a time it's really hard to get it on.

I've tried different lengths on the tubing, if I wear a slightly longer tubing my nuts slip through the ROP and if I tighten it up the skin get irritated until the point where the skin has actually blistered a couple of times!

Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to keep using the ROP, I've enjoyed its benefits but since it's causing me so much pain I'm not sure it's worth it anymore.

Does anyone else have these problems or is it just me?

Have you used lotion?

 

[swedeguy]

Yup.... Also tried silicon tubing which was better for the skin since it has less friction but it was so fragile that it just cracked...

 

[Super]

I dunno man, I hope you can continue to use it. What were the results you were getting?

I know my ROP can sting like a bastard but that is when I just replaced the latex and I put it on too tight. I had the same problem you did with it burning while on my way to work. When I got to work I took it off and loosened the latex hold and problem was solved.

If you have put on new latex and its popping off like that then something has already stretched the latex. I have a liquid dropper that I use to measure dosage amounts for Liquid Cialis. I once tried putting the dropper into the ROP tubing just for storage since I have lots of tubing anyways. When it was time to change my tubing I used the side that the dropper was in. I washed it and the dropper, washed the rods then tried to put the ROP on. I stretched it as usual and it popped off. I realized this happened from being stretched by the dropper so the latex was already wider that it would have been if it was brand new.

Im not sure if this will help with your problem but it helped me.

Mate, you need to leave a lot more tubing on your RoP. Seriously, add a centimetre on length to both parts of the tubing and try again. Your RoP doesnt need to be tight, and being tight doesnt affect or improve the benefits in any way.

If your RoP stays on, then thats as tight as it needs to be. Bear in mind depending how much movement you do at work during the day, and the normal movement (in/out) of your balls means from time to time the RoP will come off, its normal and natural. This isn't an issue. (You may want to tie a piece of string around your waist and through the RoP to stop any chance of it coming off and bailing down your trouser leg).

Hope this helps mate

As others have said, use more tubing. Personally, I also use an epoxy to keep the rods and latex attached. You can then stretch the ROP a LOT and not worry about it coming apart on you.

 

[levista]

Have about a centimetre, maybe slightly more of tubing on each end of the RoP. That should be plenty of grip. Someone else recommended scoring/scraping the ends to create better grip, tho i have not tried that myself.

The only stinging I've expereiced was when I applied lemon juice to increase the voltage. Never again.

You should be able to slip one testicle at a time through the ring, then the penis, with enough room to slip your finger through and pull up on it. You can grow into it as you fill out during the course of the day.

If you're wearing it too tight you'll never hit a good erection level.

 

[swedeguy]

Hm... Well, I think I need to buy more tubing, I'm all out...
I got some effects, one was that hair started to grow a lot faster and spread all over my body, not that fun since I'm hairy enough as it is..
Also, I got MUCH hornier and got a larger flaccid hang!

if u wear the ring around both your penis and balls i think i used like 3 or 3.1/4 inch tubbing, but do this when u are stretching the ROP to put it on hold your pointer fingers over where the latex fits over the copper and zinc at the top, and on the bottom your ring fingers will hold it on. So from top to bottom it should be your pointer fingers on latex at top, middle fingers on bare copper and zinc, and ring fingers on latex over rods at the bottom. I had problems with it slipping off to so i just cut my latex longer put it farther over the rods and stretched it like this and i have no problem now. I ran with my rop on the other day just a mile and it kinda felt like it was gonna fall off sort but didn't, the worst part though was it rubbed against my groin from me running and that burned and it still hurts 2 days later its like a dam rug burn, thats the only burning i ve ever felt

 

[BeBobBox]

is it the tubing or the metal part thats causing the irritation?

 

[kausion_420]

I think its when its too tight the copper does something to me and makes it sting. Its always the side the copper is on though.

i guess i must be lucky. i just made my ROP 3 days ago and have been wearing it sleeping and sometimes during the day when i am not going to be exercising. (it popped off while i was in the gym, walking. had to pull it out...)

other than that, no irritation or anything at all. I did have to increase the length of the tubing to 2.75 inches though. otherwise it was too tight and it hurt like hell.

fiddler

 

[swedeguy]

It's the tubing, I think it's mostly got to do with the tightness of the ring but also with the friction of the tubing!

 

[swedeguy]

I took some of my old tubing, scraped the ends of the rods with scissors and super glued the tubing on, it seems to be working now... I've learned the hard way to stay away from coffee drinks and Red Bull, as soon as I've had one my sac starts to sting like hell as it shrivels up...

 

[somnus]

Been wearin mine for 5 months now, I think. Powder up before putting it on. When I first put it on I left it on while I slept and woke up and my balls were swolen. It's cuz it was too tight, I tried many different sizes and finnally found a size that fit good and lasts at least 2 months before it gets all stretched out again and dirty. Infact, I think I'm gonna clean it tonight.

Supra: Remember when I kept sending you money to pick up the right size tubing, since you live in Hawai'i now, how will you get that tubing? I've looked all over the Island and can't seem to find it.

 

[somnus]

Now that I think about it, my whole groin area was stinging one time when the hairs were growing back after I shaved it all over, completely. The little pricklys were comming back and it hurt to a point I couldn't walk for several days, and every night I would keep scratching my dick like crazy untill I developed a rash. I couldnt shower with warm water it had to be very cold. My fuzz grew back but I'm scared to shave it again.

Been there. Tends to happen to me when I shave my shaft. I found that putting lotion on it helps.

swedeguy,

I've been wearing my ROP for about 5 months now, using silicone tubing. I never had any irritation or whatever.
You better not use any lotion, use normal soap for cleaning the skin and the ROP and perhaps you have to dry both very good. Humidity makes the skin soft and easy to damage.

Take care and keep on posting your results,
Yves

I remember reading about someone on the forum using plastic tubing like you'd find in a fish tank to construct their ROP...I'm just curious if anyone else has done this same thing, and as to whether or not it causes more irritation to the skin than latex would.

That's the first type of tubing I tried, but it wasn't NEARLY flexible enough to get over the rods.

Hej! Hoppas du mår bättre nu? Hi. Hope you're feeling better now?

Have you considered that you may have an allergic reaction to either latex, copper or zinc? Also, do you know what Hydradentitis is? You can do a search on the Internet and read about it. It's a condition whereby the sweat glands can get infected and it's possible to get this on your sack!!!!! If you have this, and it's not all that rare, perhaps your ROP is encouraging it?

By the way, where did you buy your copper and zinc in Sweden? Zinc seems to be really hard to find here in Skåne!

Good luck with your "noble prize" anyway (Swedish joke...)

 

[swedeguy]

Hej! Herregud, en skåning, det var det djävligaste! lol

Well, I've thought about possible allergic reactions but the itching continues even if I remove the ROP for a few days. Also tried silicone tubing but that didn't help either, besides that tubing was far too fragile for me to use.

 

[davidwh]

I got it! I got it!

Terrifically helpful post. This is the first I've heard of hydradentitis. This may help a lot of guys.

Thank you.

Swedeguy...All of us, and I mean all of us, have a bacterial balance on our skin. If you wash too much you can mess this up - I know it sounds crazy "wash too much" but it's true. This bacterial balance would be most sensitive in those area that are, for want of a better term, "wet and warm"...I mean, it must be something that's causeing it and I can understand that it might be a little strange asking your doctor about it? Anyway...sorry to seem uncaring...but where did you get the zinc from? I can't find zinc anywhere in Skåne!

Fy fan vilken väder!

 

[BDS]

Sidvic, I think Swedeguy bought the ROP from Supra.. I can't find zinc and copper rods either here in Ångermanland.

 

[Yves]

If you include all your lost time (you used for searching the components) in the price of your home-made ROP, you better buy one of Supra. Time is money you know!!

Yves

 

[swedeguy]

Yup, I bought mine from Supra, send him a message and I'm sure he'll hook you up!

BDS: Nice to see you're finally back into Penis Enlargement! If anyone cares; BDS and I met at another (american) Penis Enlargement forum a few years ago, we started talking and it turned out that we'd actually attended the same school in a small town in the northern part of Sweden!! Small world, isn't it?

Anyway, I've since then moved on to slightly larger places.

Sidvic: Yeah, I think it could be that the bacterial balance is disrupted in some way since I shower a lot because of intense training! But what to do about it?

Ja, jävla skitväder hela tiden, man blir ju helt deprimerad ju! Jag måste ta och åka till Skåne någon gång, jag har aldrig varit där!
