Breaking In

[nebman]

I have this common device:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1Y ... UTF8&psc=1

You can see my review of it as "Sam I Am."

It has been modified two ways, the ring has been better aligned behind the cage, and the cage has been shortened as the spaces between the rings have been mostly compressed out. I use the 1.75" ring.

It works well, except for the the nighttime erection issue. I'm pretty much guaranteed to wake up with the common burning painful erections. My cock is pretty stubborn, as long as I'm quite sleepy, it starts to expand again as I try to drift back off to sleep. I end up fully awake and not sleeping much more. The 2.0" ring was not nearly as much of a problem with night erections, but allowed my balls to slip through between the ring and cage, painful, and I don't want it falling off.

I'm not sure I can even use the 2.0" ring anymore due to the modification to the cage.

I see repeated discussion saying a guy can maybe work down to a smaller ring. But, has anybody tried wearing with increased frequency as a break-in?

I'll be three days continuous in the device later today - a record. But, I'm a little sore and my balls look like they need a rest.

Thoughts?

Yes. I did it over a period of 1-2 months with every decrease in size. One day and night in the smaller ring, then back to the larger, then increasing the length of time gradually until being able to to wear the smaller size for an extended duration (1 week.) If you can make it for a week, you should be good to go.

That's an interesting thought on alternating the rings. I'm not sure that I can still use my larger ring, but may look into that.

After three full days, my sack seems a bit swollen, but otherwise color and temperature are fine. It can tend to look a bit better as the day goes by, but I'm a bit more swollen after a hard (pun intended) night.

I went back and forth between two rings for about a month or two. Right now I have a new device and it fell off me three times in two days so I spent $60 for a smaller ring. Now my original ring feels tight so go figure.

I've learned experimenting with rings and the cage that our man parts can morph into some pretty amazing sizes and shapes.

After about 76 hours of continuous wear (a record), I took the device off last night for personal inspection and to see if I can still use my larger 2.0" ring over the 1.75" I've been wearing.

The personal inspection came out very good, the slight sack swelling appearance disappeared. My cock popped up quickly at the freedom, but I ignored it.

The larger ring won't work anymore. In my experimentation, I had turned the ring into an oval shape, with the cage on, and that moved the pin hole positions. I've since modified the cage to fit the 1.75" ring, so I can't go back.

I spent 30 minutes on the treadmill, showered, and decided to put the device back on. Total time out was about an hour. I used Aveeno lotion on my parts to relive the skin a bit, and to lube the device in relation to my parts. I did the lotion for the first time yesterday morning when I was pretty sore, and it helped.

The night was maybe a bit better. I had another wicked hard at about 5:00 A.M. that woke me. A trip to the bathroom for a pee and I was down a bit. Still had the problem where I just falling back to sleep was enough to cause me to start getting harder - sort of a body battle where I start to sleep and my swollen cock wakes me up.

My sack is a bit swollen looking again this morning, but seems to be going down.

It's all about adjustments ... it took me a while to get it just right. I went to the smaller ring and then back up a few times. I had the same trouble with my ball slipping through. That left testicle gave me one hell of a hard time. My KH (wife) thought I was doing it on purpose, so it wasn't a fun time. However, through necessity ... I went to the smaller one and it has held me tight for 15 months.

I have the same trouble with middle of the night nocturnal erections. They are always painful and it takes forever for it to go away. Then, as soon as I start drifting back to sleep, it gets hard again. Some people claim it has decreased for them, but for me ... I have my 3 or 4 per night ... and they are horribly uncomfortable. When it pulls everything forward, my balls feel like they are being flattened. The only thing that has gotten better for me over time, is my scrotum has toughened up and I don't have the burning type of problems I did in the beginning.

Good luck.

Thanks for the comment. I also have the issue where everything pulls forward, and this has increased since I modified the cage to be shorter. When I had the cage in its original length and the larger ring, I filled the cage differently, and there wasn't so much pushing up from behind. It makes me wonder if the thought about smaller cages being better might not be the case.

Took the cage off again last night, originally to make measurements with an eye on ordering a custom. I left it off for exercise and a shower. I had noticed a hot spot as far as discomfort at about the 1:00 o'clock position of the ring if you were holding and looking at the assembled device from the ring side. I'm winter wooly right now, when looking through the hair, I found some minor skin irritation. It's at about the same point in the ring where the chrome finish is missing - not really a rust spot, but probably exposure to the base metal, whatever it is. Could be a metal reaction - nuts. It stayed off overnight.

Took some measurements, and am looking at Mature Metal, but wow, that is expensive! Maybe I should say EXPENSIVE!!!

I've been in the device most of 7 of the last 9 days. The scrotum has perhaps changed a bit. I may be crazy, but it seems to hang a bit lower when fully relaxed. When pulled up tight, there was definitely sort of an extra skin fold bulging out, the skin that would have been stretched over my balls when in the device. This adapting seems like progress, so I wanted it back on this morning. The skin irritation which was minor to begin with looked 50% cleared, so I thought I'd get whatever time in that I can today.
