Hello from the northeast. Winter temperatures are here already.
This is my first winter with my implant. What I’m having an issue with is my scrotum. Because of the colder weather my balls are basically constantly restricted, which brings my balls close and gives me the scare of “oh shit I hope this isn’t an infection” because the pump becomes difficult to feel… but I’m 9 months out of my surgery and everything is fine. I just have super sensitive ball skin that retracts a lot, which is annoying to try and use the pump with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? When I’m home I’m under a heated blanket as much as possible and that seems to help, but when I’m out of the house and have to take a piss I’m constantly reminded of the tightness in my sack. Is this just something I have to deal with now? It’s super frustrating. Everything has worked fine with my implant but my one complaint is my own balls. They’re in the way, and the ball skin is too temperamental.
Is the solution tighter underwear? Looser? Certain foods/vitamins that help the scrotum to relax? I don’t know what to do

Re: Scrotal question
Looser underwear. The more your balls are accustomed to hanging, the more skin over time you maybe will develop, then the looser the whole sack will be, making it easier to access pump. You're young too, the ballsack will probably get looser as you get older anyway.

Re: Scrotal question
When my sac is pulled up tight at the base of my dick, my right ball and his roommate sometimes don't get along really well. Getting to the pump at those times is more difficult, but doable. When my sac is relaxed and hanging low, it's no problem at all. Oregon is right, free balling seems to help a little. Really, it's nothing to worry about, and you will adapt.

Re: Scrotal question
I can relate to what you’re describing. I’ve switched to using Separatec underwear. They’re a bit more expensive, but they were the only thing I could wear after surgery, and they are still keep my ballsack separate and supported. I’ve had high sensitivity, especially in jeans, and these help quite a bit. Best of luck!

Re: Scrotal question
Reviving this topic to see if I can get some more input. My scrotum just won’t cooperate during these winter months. Everything is fine if I sit in a warm bath for an hour, but that’s not a realistic way of living.
I wear seperatec underwear when I’m out. At home I wear very very loose boxers and rarely pants. I have a heated blanket. Why is my scrotum still pulled so tight to me? It feels as though I have more skin on my scrotum now but because of the weather it’s always so tight. My left nut rides higher to begin with and that’s where the tubing goes to my reservoir so I’m worried the constant constricting is going to mess with the tubing. When my scrotum is tight I can barely feel the pump. Afterward a bath all is well. I just don’t get it. Is this my new normal? When I take my underwear off my scrotum is bunched up and my dick is already pointing at like 4 or 4:30 to use the clock analogy.
Is there any way of getting my ball skin to just relax? It’s frustrating

By any chance did you get a scrotalplasty?

I've had the same issue all my life. I don't have a solution but everything will be fine with the implant. Wish I knew the secret to low hanging balls but like you I have super sensitive scrotum issues. At 72 nothing has changed

Re: Scrotal question
What I understand is that our balls go up in to heat them, that's what is needed to produce sperm. I actually like tight ball sac. It's not a problem. Massage them.
Where is your pump? Mine is above the balls.
