My balls tend to run really high and tight. So, I guess I’ll have to work on stretching them out a few hours a day at a time.
What is your experience with the weights combined with ADS? Were then an encumbrance at first and then got out of the way? I’m planning on going back to the ADS in two weeks.
I use a bathmate in the shower and coconut oil, or almond oil as a massage just afterwards.
Good call on the elastic bands.
Jarod talks about using ponytail hairbands as they are looser and more stretchy. He also talks about using a baby sock under the weight. It’s quite a huge site, and he does have a product to sell, so just taking it with a grain of salt.
Any other tips would be awesome.

I have not bought any of the ones like yours with the hanging loops on the sides but they do seem to have a bit of a chamfer according to the pic. The ones I bought do have chamfers and I believe they are SS. The issue I initially had was pinching the scrotum while screwing the two halves together. I fixed that by fitting two SS scrotum rings first and then stretching the scrotum top to bottom while joining the two halves. That kept the skin away from the joins.

I do not do ADS but do both extend and pump. The scrotum stretching has helped in both. It has allowed my ballsack to move south away from the extender base so I no longer get base pain. I often wear scrotum rings while pumping and they help prevent my balls being sucked into the cylinder.

Mine did at first. I would get some smaller weights and rings and do some stretching first before wearing 8 oz weights for a longer time. While wearing weights for more than a few hours I find my balls can start moving up and get sore pressing on the bottom ring. At that point I remove a weight and the pain goes away. Today for the first time I went on a two hour walk with both a 600gm weight and a 160 gm one. After 2 hours I had to remove the 160 gm one.

I have used a few of the ponytailers and they are OK. If you wear weights or rings in public use the baby sock as recommended by Jarod. Prevents embarrassments and lost rings or weights. I only use the elastic bands to fit rings and then quickly remove them. The ponytailers can be left on long term as they do not constrict to the point of causing damage.
I think there is a lot of good advice on Jarod’s site but do not feel any need to buy the specific products he recommends although I am sure they are good quality. The cost of shipping to Australia put me off a bit. The stuff on Aliexpress is usually post free.
