One of the things that bugged me about wearing the ROP was having to squeeze my balls through the small opening. Another irritant was that the latex stretched over time, causing the fit to become loose and the ring more likely to fall off.
I think I've solved both of these problems by replacing one of the pieces of latex with industrial strength velcro. This allows for rapid and comfortable application and removal, and for a fit as tight or as loose as the wearer desires.
I attached both the copper and zinc rods to a single piece of latex tubing and secured it with 2 ton marine epoxy. Once that cured, I placed it in a vice with the copper tube pointing up, then filled it with saline solution. The opening of the copper tube was then filled with superglue and epoxy. The epoxy was to viscous and wouldn't keep the hole sealed, initially, but the superglue hardened quickly enough to let the epoxy keep shape while it cured.
After everything was dry, I then used more epoxy/superglue to place a strip of velcro (hook side only), with the sticky backside exposed to the copper rod, oriented so that the hooks pointed outward, away from the ring. Any sticky portion of the velcro that was still exposed, I covered with duck tape. I used a long length of velcro since I can always cut it down to size, later. It's better to use to much, and cut it down later, than to use to little and have nothing to fall back on. For width, I cut it to approximately the same size as the outer diameter of the rods.
Once again, after drying, I placed the piece of furry velcro to the zinc rod, with the fur oriented inwards towards the middle of the ring. Similarly, I used duck tape to cover the sticky portion of the velcro.
