Ballstretcher Guide - All information about stretching

Ballstretcher are toys that stretch the scrotum and create an intense, heavy and lasting sensation. Depending on the material, weight and shape, they can provide gentle, sensual continuous stimulation or a clear CBT feeling (Cock & Ball Torture). To make this pleasurable instead of dangerous, quality, the right size, deliberate increases and medical caution are essential.

Real quality is convincing: Ballstretcher with that certain something extra

At first glance, many Ballstretcher look similar - it is difficult to distinguish good from bad products, especially for beginners. The key differences lie in the material, workmanship, edge guidance and skin compatibility.

This is why direct contact with the manufacturer is often the best way to find out about quality, material and production. With nameless cheap products from the Far East, this is usually impossible - and you are taking unnecessary risks.

Since you are reading these pages, you already know:
Quality pays off - and you've landed at Steeltoyz.

Our stainless steelBallstretcher are manufactured exclusively in our own factory - no additional purchases, no unknown alloys. We use medical stainless steel, which is also well tolerated by many allergy sufferers.

In addition, we are personally on hand to answer any questions or special requests you may have - including special shapes to suit your individual preferences. Of course, our prices can't compete with dumping offers, but that's not our goal either: you get long-lasting quality, clean workmanship and toys that will ideally accompany you for a lifetime.

The purpose of ball stretchers

Before you buy a Ballstretcher, it's worth taking a look at its actual purpose: Ballstretcher stretches the scrotum and pulls the testicles further down. They are placed over the base of the testicles on the scrotum and act downwards due to their height and weight.

You can choose between different weights and sizes. The planned wearing situation is just as important:

• Light, smaller Ballstretcher give a gently enclosed, "filled" feeling.
• Heavier, heavier models provide a significant stretch, even to the point of causing pain.

Questions to help you choose:

• Do you want to wear the Ballstretcher for pure pleasure or should it also serve as a "punishment" in BDSM play?
• Will you only wear it briefly during play - or for longer periods of time?
• Do you want to feel the stretch only in intimate moments or also in everyday life at work, leisure, going out?

These points will determine which size, design and weight is right for you.

What materials are ball stretchers made of?

A basic distinction is made between soft and hard ball stretchers.

Hard Ballstretcher (e.g. stainless steel): At Steeltoyz we use medical stainless steel. Cheap products are often made of inferior steel with a thin coating. If this flakes off, there is a risk of sharp edges, nickel or chrome allergies and unpleasant reactions.

High-quality Ballstretcher made of medical stainless steel are easy to clean,
low-maintenance and - if used correctly - can last for many years, even a lifetime.

Soft Ballstretcher are usually lighter and fit snugly against the skin. They are less bulky and are ideal for everyday use. Typical materials are leather, silicone, latex or neoprene.

Soft materials wear out over time, become flabbier and can tear at some point. Leather needs care, otherwise it becomes hard and uncomfortable. With good care, you can still enjoy soft stretchers for a very long time.

Fasteners on ball stretchers

Ballstretcher can be made in one piece or with fasteners.

One-piece (often soft) stretchers are glued and cannot be opened easily. It takes some practice to put them on, but they are very comfortable to wear: no buckles or metal elements that get caught on clothing.

Others, especially leather or neoprene models, use press studs or laces. This offers flexibility in circumference, but requires a little care when closing to ensure that nothing gets caught.

The heaviest at the end: Ballstretcher made of stainless steel

Stainless steelBallstretcher are particularly popular. They are available as one- or two-piece cylinders and as donut-shaped models.

Ballstretcher in donut shape are extremely popular because of their comfort: they distribute the pressure softly, fit well and are often less bulky. However, they are more complex to manufacture and correspondingly more expensive.

Cylindrical Ballstretcher score points with their variability: you can influence the stretch in addition to the weight by varying the height. Both versions are popular with allergy sufferers because they are made of real medical stainless steel and are not just coated.

We recommend investing a little more and choosing a high-quality, solid product rather than having to put up with cheap coated products that cause irritation or allergies.

The comfort of a ball stretcher is always a combination of three factors:

• Inner diameter
• Weight
• Wall thickness or height

The correct inner diameter of the Ballstretcher

The inner diameter is the most important value when buying a ball stretcher. If the ring is too tight, it will quickly cause pain and blood circulation can be impaired. If it is too wide, it can slip or, in the worst case, slide over the scrotum so that one or both testicles are forced through uncomfortably - extremely painful and dangerous.

A warning sign is the color of the skin around the Ballstretcher: If it becomes very dark or bluish, blood is pooling. The stretcher must then be removed immediately.

To measure, proceed as follows:

• Gently pull the scrotum downwards in a warm environment (shower, bath).
• Place a thick cord, measuring tape or shoelace around the thinnest area above the testicles - so loosely that your little finger can still fit between them.
• Measure the circumference in millimeters and divide by 3.14 (π) - this gives the theoretical inner diameter.

Formula: Inner diameter in mm = circumference in mm ÷ 3.14

Standard & special dimensions at a glance

Steeltoyz offers a range of standard and special sizes. The most important inside diameters:

• Standard sizes: 28 mm, 33 mm, 37 mm, 40 mm
• Special sizes: 24 mm, 26 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm, 47 mm, 50 mm

The following table will help you to find the right size to order based on your measurement.

If your calculation is between two sizes, you can use this as a rough guide: With rigid stainless steel rings, tend towards the slightly larger size, with soft, stretchy rings, tend towards the smaller size - in the end, it's always your own body feeling that decides.

The right weight of ball stretcher

Stainless steelBallstretcher rings range from around 50 grams to several kilograms. Theoretically, a lot is possible upwards - in practice, your body limits the game.

Important: Increase slowly and don't be dazzled by high weights. More weight does not automatically mean more pleasure - too much too quickly can cause pain, overload and long-term damage.

Light stretchers can be combined to gradually increase tension. Pay attention to the outer diameter when combining: the same outer dimensions feel more comfortable and look more harmonious.

To test your personal "feel-good weight", you can place a rope around the scrotum and carefully attach weights. You should be able to wear this setup for at least 20 minutes without pain. Many beginners do very well in the 300-400 g range.

Special shapes of the testicle rings

In addition to classic rings, Steeltoyz also offers special shapes, for example Ballstretcher cups and Ballstretcher expanders.

The testicle cup completely encloses the testicles and can be open or closed at the bottom. This reinforces the feeling of being "wrapped up" and can look like massive, weighty jewelry.

The expander, on the other hand, is variable in length and can noticeably increase the stretching of the scrotum - ideal in a BDSM context when stretching is used as punishment or as a testing ritual.

Putting on a two-piece Ballstretcher correctly

The Ballstretcher must not be too small so that the blood circulation is not constricted. Take your time when putting it on - rushing is taboo here.

1. Hold the lower part of the ball stretcher under the scrotum and position it. Use your thumb to position the testicles so that they hang below the ring.
2. Position the upper part and align it flush.
3. Carefully screw in the screws - without tilting. Make sure that no skin or pubic hair is trapped in between. Then move the ring slightly to check the fit.

Inserting a ball stretcher

No matter what material your Ballstretcher is made of - everyone needs to be inserted. Your skin, your connective tissue and your nervous system need time to get used to the new feeling.

We recommend: shave or briefly trim
scrotum before putting it on and make it supple with a little oil.

This will prevent hair from pulling and reduce friction. Start with short wearing times and observe not only the feeling during, but also afterwards:

• How does the scrotum feel after taking it off?
• Does redness disappear quickly?
• Is there a dull ache or an "overloaded" feeling?

Slight pulling and temporary redness after longer sessions can be normal. The important thing is that you feel good overall. Therefore, never increase the wearing time by more than about five minutes per step and proceed carefully with each new weight.

Medical advice

The scrotum and testicles are very sensitive areas. Overloading can cause pain and long-term damage. Even after removing a ball stretcher, after-effects can still occur.

If the pain is severe, lasts longer, or if swelling, hardening or discoloration occurs, you should definitely consult a doctor. Sex toys are nothing reprehensible - medical help can be neutral and professional.

The heavier the Ballstretcher, the more careful you should be. The shape and length of the scrotum can change permanently with intensive and prolonged use from around 500 g upwards. The vas deferens is also stretched - possible effects on fertility cannot be ruled out with certainty.

Some users even wear Ballstretcher during sport - we strongly advise against this. The testicles naturally pull towards the body during exercise to avoid injury. A Ballstretcher prevents this protective reaction and increases the risk.

Caution is also important in the sauna: stainless steel absorbs heat and releases it to the testicles. These are unable to regulate their internal temperature, which can affect your current fertility.

Tips on ball stretchers

Above a certain size and weight, Ballstretcher can no longer be hidden inconspicuously under normal clothing. A noticeable bulge may be intentional in the game, but can be annoying in everyday life.

Long neopreneBallstretcher is usually easy to put on, but occasionally difficult to take off. In this case, oil the scrotum well, stretch the stretcher slightly with your fingers and slowly pull it back over the testicles. If the inner diameter is clearly too tight, the only option is to use scissors - safety first.

Accessories for Ballstretcher

Stainless steelBallstretcher from Steeltoyz are always supplied complete - including the appropriate tool for screwing them together. Additional accessories can significantly increase comfort and safety.

Recommended are:

• Silicone-based oil or lubricant to keep the scrotum supple.
• Neoprene rings between the testicles and Ballstretcher for higher weights - for better pressure distribution.

Of course, you can also find neoprene rings in various sizes at Steeltoyz.

Care of ball stretchers

Ballstretcher made of stainless steel, silicone and neoprene can be cleaned with mild hand soap and warm water. Stainless steel models can theoretically also be put in the dishwasher, but will lose some of their shine over time.

If you want to preserve the brilliant appearance of your stainless steelBallstretcher, it is better to clean it by hand and dry it carefully. Occasional polishing with a suitable care product will make them look like new again.
