Newly implanted

[Journeyman]

So I had commented that I had cut the "ass straps and ball pouch " off of my jockstrap because it caused discomfort in my scrotum. I just kept the band to keep my penis upright. Well after a couple days of this I'd like to recommended.... DONT DO THAT!!! It sucks . Everytime I move , the band falls off and I have to readjust. Hey , not every idea is a good one . Later dudes ... I have to go back on Amazon and buy a new jockstrap

Journeyman,

Yes, a jock strap (athletic supporter) is made a a pretty thick material and the bunching at the apex (pouch and butt-straps) can be irritating. But there is another solution to keeping your penis pointed up and the pouch in place.

Thong.

After all, a thong is just a jock strap with one central backstrap instead of two butt straps.

If you can get used to a string up between your butt-cheeks, it is stable and supportive. And if you can't get used to the string, you can replace it with two strings where the jock strap's rear straps used to go.

A thong is easy to make from a piece of stretchy cloth long enough to reach from your waistline to (at least as far as) your anus or even to your waistline in the back. It must be wide enough to cover your scrotum (which most women's thongs are not).

My girlfriend likes me in a thong, an added benefit to the superior support over conventional boxer-briefs.

P.S. I would stay away from the conventional men's thongs as well as women's thongs. I bought some from Amazon and fouund them hyper-sexualized, uncomfortable, too small for support and not nearly as good as the ones I can make myself by simple hand-sewing.

Hey everyone, tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my surgery and overall I'm doing ok. I am still having a lot of swelling that comes and goes in my scrotum, and a bit of pain right behind my gland and at the base of the shaft, which my surgical team says is normal and expected. My only question is, really? After almost 2 weeks still a significant amount of swelling? Anyone else have this issue?

Yes, I still had pain at 2 weeks, in fact I had pain even at the 6 week point when I was deflated and given cycling instructions and had to inflate as much as I could during device training, it hurt like heck.

This is what I went through, some guys don't have as much pain, some guys don't have any pain at that point and then I've read on Frank Talk where guys are having pain worse than me at the 6 week point.

I tried wearing jock straps too, but they were uncomfortable. I road bike cycle and I'll attach the sport briefs that I wear under my cycling bibs. They are very comfortable. When you click on the pictures of the different colors you will see that some colors have better pouches, even though they are all sport briefs, I've found that some colors and the material has better pouches to hold the boys comfortable.
