Slight Abrasion Issue with MM device....

[wishful4]

On removal of my MM Queen's Keep for inspection, my KH/spouse noticed some very slight abrasion/bruising on the sides of my ball sac at the 2-3 and 9-10 o'clock positions. I was surprised as I have not noticed any discomfort in that specific area. She directed that I stay unlocked for a day or two. The areas looked much improved yesterday and she said I would probably expect to be locked back up sometime today.

It was obviously done by the base ring when my sac puts pressure on it. It seems that if the area gets cool, my scrotum tries to recede into my body. When the base ring prevents this, the sac fills up with fluid in an attempt to regulate temperature, I suspect. The sac get very tight while still not giving up on pulling them back into my body. The result can be quite uncomfortable while it lasts. It only occurs in mid morning and lasts for about an hour and only while I'm standing. I can sit or lay down for a few minutes and relieve the discomfort. It doesn't happen any other time of day. Has anyone experienced same? Did you find a way to avoid this? I'm wondering if my 2 baby Aspirin per day regimen could play a part in the abrasion/bruising. Any thoughts on that?

I have been wearing for awhile, so I generally do not use lubricant anywhere. Every so often I may dab a little lotion on the very bottom of the scrotum near the base ring if I'm experiencing a little burn. That doesn't happen often. I find that the base ring seems to "grip" the scrotum better with no lubricant and is actually more comfortable. However, in light of the above issue, I'm wondering if a little lotion would be beneficial in the area of the abrasions.

I totally agree that the base ring without lubricant is more comfortable. However, when I notice burning or chaffing starting, I use an A&D ointment. Brand name would be Desitin. It is for Diaper rash. It is oil based so provides a bit of relief from the friction while helping to speed up healing of any "hot spots".

Generally, any minor redness or abrasions are healed up while wearing the CD. So, no need to take it off.

That is what works best for me, your results can and probably will vary....

Jnuts uses a drop of silicone lube for the same reason. Works great.

I asked this in another post. Do you have the oval or round base ring? I have problems with the oval and the same sized round fits with no problem.

I have the oval ring. Not sure if the round ring would make a difference. The oval is barely noticable.

I was having such a problem that I couldn't wear my MM with the oval ring. After about 30 minutes my sack would start turning that bad shade of purple. I tried the next larger oval and the whole device just sagged down so bad it was uncomfortable.
I ordered a round ring the same size as the first oval and have a great fit and no color problems.
I agree, there isn't much visual difference, but wearing, there was a great change.
