Recently we had Kim, join us from Oxballs. During her presentation, she discussed ball stretching. If you haven’t heard of ball stretching, don’t worry you are in good company! Full disclosure, as someone who does not have testicles nor sleeps with people who have testicles, I didn’t know anything about this practice, but nevertheless, I was curious.

Packers are prosthetics designed to create the appearance of a bulge in the front of one’s pants, helping individuals feel more aligned with their gender identity. Packers are soft, flexible prosthetics typically made from medical-grade silicone or other body-safe materials such as thermoplastic rubber (TPR), foam, or even cloth. Some packers are made from porous materials or materials with phthalates (endocrine disruptors that can adversely affect hormones). We’ll review how to ensure you’re getting a body-safe packer that fits your needs in a little bit. 

Most masturbation sleeves are built on a simple premise: to enhance the stimulation that one gets from their hand. Many, though, go above and beyond that duty, adding unique textures, supple materials, and stimulating suction to the equation.

Cock rings, also called penis rings (or as we affectionately call them, “C rings”), are glorious little devices meant to encircle and bind the penis and testicles. They gently restrict blood flow out of the penis, which can make the penis temporarily firmer and more sensitive. This may prolong an erection, and some wearers find that it intensifies their orgasms. But mainly, cock rings provide sensations of tightness and pressure that many folks enjoy. Plus, they just look sexy.
