I have Lori's #2 metal device on. I get a lot of itching around the ring. Does anyone else have this and if so do you have a solution to it? Thanks.
Some people do have allergies to some metals. It's possible that you are one of those. If that's the case, you will just need some sort of barrier between you and the metal. If it's from friction, lube might help. Take it with a grain of salt, as my experience is minimal as yet.
If you are shaved, try waxing - hairs can cause a lot of irritation as they regrow. Talc helps avoid excess sweat which can also cause irritation. Check the skin - if it's red and inflamed, has a rash or is broken you may be allergic to the metal. Long term, the only answer to that is a different device using different metal or plastic.
Thank you for the input. So it's not metal because it does it with plastic devices too. Just itches, no redness no problems other than itches at times. Kind of weird.
I am no expert but I have tried plastic vice, silicone birdlock, and am in steel. And all have caused a bit of chafing from me to time and cause what I call dead spot burning in the scrotum skin because I wear a tight ring for security. With an active lifestyle those things happening mostly when I am sitting or wear the wrong underwear. I have found that once you get past the initial phase no lube except aroundy little cock works well. If I have dead spot burn just shifting the skin a little makes it quit, and if I start to get any chafing a little lube helps . Any way it is just about Getting used to it good luck stay the course Live locked and Prosper lol
Is the ring the right size?? I never had problems with itching, I did have problems with ball slips until I adjusted the size of my ring and discovered the power of baby oil. Good luck
There are a number of things that can cause itching around the ring. - hairs, coarse or fine, can rub between ring and skin and irritate. I have shaved and immediately found the problem unresolved, but close inspection with a bright light revealed hairs left behind by the razor that were causing the problem. A bright light source will create shadows that make seeing lone hairs and plucking them very much easier. - dried pre-cum, sweat or lube on the ring can form a crust that's difficult to see but acts like sandpaper. When you wash, give the device a good scrub too. - fine scratches or weld protrusions can cause much bigger problems than their size might suggest. Small imperfections in the device can also trap sweat or dirt which adds to the problem. Inspect your device closely and solve the problem with some very fine grade sandpaper.
