COLD weather shrinkage

I've never had pain due to the cold. When I was first finding fit I slipped out on a very cold day.

What cage are you wearing? I prefer metal and I've found it helps retain body heat so that may help.

Is the pain because Ur balls are being pulled into the cage?

I don't have one but a lot of people use the belts to hold the cages closer to your body so that might help.

But yea provide some more info and maybe that will help people comment.

 

I get the same when it’s gets really cold here, I found thermals do help, if it’s really cold where you are have you considered keeping a hand warmer in each of your trouser pockets?

 

I get you, my feet sweat even queen cold, it’s horrible!

 

I think you are correct on this one, I feel the same when running in the cold. As for now I have to remove the cage for running, I would wish I did not have to.

 

Hi eggstrovert. I'm sorry that you're having this issue but I will say its rather common; especially when temperatures really drop. I love my winter activities and had this same issue way back in the beginning. For starters, a really well fit device helps (not saying yours isn't a great fit) but even if its perfect, you'll still have this feeling. You nailed it on the head with the way your body is reacting to the cold temperatures but your base ring is keeping your anatomy from going up into the body to get warm. There is no way to fix this aside from adjusting to this change. I use to make sure everything was pulled ALL the way through the base ring so so there wasn't really any slack on the back end towards your perineum. I'd also use a generous amount of coconut oil around the base ring to help with the skin loosening and tightening with temperature change. I assure you that over time you will adjust to this feeling but I do believe you'll experience some discomfort in the short term. The oil should help along with making sure you have some extra 'slack' for the loosening and tightening but this isn't going to be an overnight fix. I do believe your body will adjust by the end of the season - just stick with it and tough it out! If you do manage to rub yourself raw, as much as I hate to say it, you'll need to remove your device and let the skin heel as it could become a serious problem and even get infected... there is a difference between discomfort and actual pain... just listen to your body.

 

I've had to deal with this issue compounded with having a very high and tight sack for a while as well now. Tried many things to no avail (doesn't help that my anatomy makes regular cages under a certain size tricky)..
Eventually I talked to my better half about it and we now simply use bigger cages when it gets cold, so the body has room to do what it needs to without making everything awkward down there.
Not a perfect solution, but we agreed that wearing a regular size cage is better than none.

 

I'm from Canada and I wear a Happygo stainless steel cage. I just put a wool sock over my package when I walk my daily 10 Km

 

i dont have no bother when it cold and if i am let out my cage then all my ones all go back inside me and it only the cage ring that keep them outside me anyways.

 

I am from Northern Ontario. Canada. I have that problem when it gets extremely cold. When it gets real cold i have no choice but to take it off when i go out, for example shovel the snow or food shopping.

 

Keep the boys warm!!!!

 

I'm a construction worker, and I am subject to the elements, the cage does get cold, but it's never hurt me, at least not yet.
Wear thermals and maybe keep Hot Hands pocket warmers on hand
