Measuring for ball stretchers and weights

I'm going to buy some ball weights and leather stretchers, but before I do, how exactly do you measure so you don't get something either to tight or loose?

I took a string and measured around my balls as they were stretched out and marked it with a marker. Then laid it on the table and measured the diameter. Simple and it works

Did you actually measure around your balls, or the area above your balls (where the stretcher/weight would go)?

Sorry for the mess up, yeah I went above my balls on the sack where the stretcher would go.

That's what I figured, but wanted to make sure I got it right.

I just measured (with a flexible tailor tape ruler), and I'm about 5.25 around and have about a 2 inch drop at maximum for my right ball, and a little elss for my left (I just did the testicle health routine and have had a heating pad on for the past hour while I do lazy-ass-stretches). The diameter is about 1.75 if I don't push the skin flat, but 2.25 when I do. Would you start with the 2" stretcher, or would you go for more? How about weights? How heavy and what size?

My main goal here is not necessarily a lower hang (at least at the moment), but to keep my sack from squeezing my balls up into me when I'm cold/excited/nervous.

If your ordering from SL I would go with the 2" first they tend to run a little tight. The weights start out with the small that should be plenty for now. The weights tend to feel so dam good when you get used to them that you wont want to take them off!!! And when you do you'll want them back on.

As for them squeezing up inside, Man let me tell ya I'm pushing 5+ inches of hang with these egg sized balls and they STILL go up and retract!!! They only go as far as being a good solid tennis ball right under my unit. But they dont dissapear anymore. And I tend to be always cold person. So if your looking for a good hang 24/7 forget it. Only when they are warm will you get exactly what you want. But let me tell you its WAY better than having them dissapear like they did last year!!!

A couple of things I do to the leather ones:

First I start my cutting off the squared off corners on it just so they dont poke into you. In the beginning I had to fill the backside of the snaps with Silicone / ATV / caulk because my sack would get drawn into the backs of them in a few hours or so. And it hurt like heck! It kinda made a little nipple on my sack. But that probably wont happen to you.

As you go you will want to keep hand cream or some kind of lotion on them once or twice a day just to keep them soft and pliable. I didnt use any for awhile and as my sack started stretching the top layer of skin that madeway for the new longer skin would flake off. Like a sun burn peel would be. Once I figured it out I started using the best stuff I could find :

It dosent have perfumes which not only stink but some will burn your sac!!! I even tried a few Avon products they didnt cut it either.

This stuff has vitamins A,D,E, Aloe vera, and lanolin. And its cheap! Dont try anyother "udder" named ones 2 of the others I tried BURNED like the blazes!!!

Wow I'm amazed how much I really know on all this. I never really thought this hard about it.

Wow. Thanks again, ctmwm. You're being really helpful with this.

That's still better than what I've got going on now. They have a pretty good hang when they're warm, but when they're tight, my right ball gets pulled in front of my left (due to an off-center turkey neck thing), and the left one has a tendency to go up in me. It'd be an improvement well worth the money if I could just fix that.

I'll probably have some more questions to pick your brain with a little later, if you don't mind. Just want to make sure I do this right so the process is effective in the shortest amount of time.

No Problem, Ask away anytime. Once you get used to it you'll be amazed how fast you can get results. BE is a piece of cake! I'm just glad to be able to give back to the forum that has given me SO much!

I'm one that dosent want others to hit the same pitfalls and waste money on the junk I did.

You have the steelmaster ball weight right CT? I have one (50mm) on the way to me. I got to looking at these things again on the SL site, and got to thinking you might be able to rig it up somehow that you could wear them on your cock. I'll have to get mine before I can say for sure, but figured since you already had on you could chime in.

YES you can, Its pretty easy just use a sock underneath it. Like your constrictor set up. But slippage is a maximum, becareful! I have messed around with a clamp on the shaft after the weight.But I use my bib nightly so I kinda dismissed it. Also I got some split collars from McMaster with a smaller ID and did that for awhile and added larger ones too. But it was ok short term but long term it was tough when having to take a leak with it on. But mess around with it its a great weight! I have 2 50mm and got to the point where I can get them both on at the same time! But I dont have it down pat yet, but I will!

Cool, I'll definitely be messing with this stuff when I get mine.

2 x 50mm ball weights, wow!

I have been wearing a 14mm for the last few days and it is TIGHT and uncomfortable
It took me ages to get it on.

I want to persevere with it though. The reason I bought the metal stretcher is because my right ball goes up inside my body during sex and my sac is too tight.

Do you find bending over when wearing the ball weights/stretcher awkward? I do and I am frightened that I will hurt myself. Driving is painful too while wearing it as is wearing my jeans.

I hope it gets better because I want to move up to a 28mm later.
