No, it fits just fine, but it is snug, but it’s also the largest inner diameter in that size range. Not to imply anything there.
By ‘riding’ , yes, I mean on a bicycle, not a motorcycle. The reason that I mention it, is that the seats can sometimes cause things like cock rings and stretchers to rub, or pinch, due to how they’re designed, and shaped (the seat).
Hopefully that’s a bit clearer π
Oh, a quick update. riding with the stretcher on was interesting, although I don’t recommend it if you’re also wearing a base cock ring (the kind that goes around the scrotum and penis), as it can get pinchy pretty easily. But, without the base ring, it works alright, and doesn’t pinch as much. But keep in mind that the stretcher I wear is very low profile, as compared to some that are out there, so I suggest caution.
I also suggest not wearing a glans ring, for the same reason, especially if you’re not wearing the kind of underwear that can keep the glans away from the stretcher, penis skin hates being pinched between two pieces of solid steel.
Luckily, I’m a very careful person, and use one of the the premium skins to act as an anti-pinch barrier, so that works out really well.
If anyone’s curious I’ll drop a picture of the layout that I’ve used most successfully.

Hey guys, just so you all know, I’ve gone ahead and deleted the community on G+, as even when people join, there’s no interaction. If there’s any actual interest shown here in creating a new one, let me know.

Hey Jock, it’s no big deal, we’re all built differently, so what works for one, may not work for another. That’s why we’re sharing our experience, to try to offer alternatives.
I’ll definitely avoid sports while wearing a metal stretcher, other than perhaps biking (will see how that goes on the way to work today.) I also don’t do sports, so that should not pose a problem π
Have fun, guys π
Sounds good, but might I also suggest a 20-22, and a 24-26 range, etc.?; for sake of completeness, and because in my case at this time, I fall in the second one mentioned above. I know it’s more ranges, but I think it makes sense, and I hate when underwear (for example) skips size ranges like this. Because then the customer is like “should I go for the larger size, or the smaller size, even though my size is right in the middle?”
Just a thought π
I’ll probably try that when/if it becomes necessary, but so far, the bands fit perfectly alongside the stretcher that I’m using, so I’m pretty sure that trying to use an additional one might be overkill, for now. If I up-size the stretcher at some point, then I’ll try it. I can also see your silicone sleeves being used for this, if shortened, or perhaps made for this? (yet another product idea, perhaps?) For sizes, I’d just use the retaining bands as a measuring unit, i.e. 1 band, 2 band, etc.
I finally got mine, and am trying it out at the time of this writing. I like the weight of it, and wasn’t expecting it to be that heavy. Is it lead wrapped in plastic, or some other easily deformable metal? I did end up having to take three loops off the end in order for it to fit well, without trying to stretch the penis too far. I’m wearing it with the custom Stealth that I ordered, and the size came out perfectly.
Might I suggest more end caps for the corkscrew? In case someone wants to keep the removed loops and use them for something? (I suggest 6-8 in total. That way all ends can be capped, to prevent exposure to the metal.) I also noted that the metal can be extremely easily cut with a wire cutter, or side cutters, and it leaves a very clean cut, and is relatively easy to cap off.
Overall, I’m liking it so far.

Something that I discovered this morning, before heading to work, is that the silicone bands that come with the Stealth, work really well as an anti-pinch device when putting on the metal stretcher. It worked so well, that instead of it taking me 5-10 minutes to put it on, it only took me about 2-3 (being hyper-careful.) I also was able to remove the silicone band after putting the stretcher on, which gave me a bit more room in the stretcher, and made it easier to adjust the scrotum and balls to be comfortable. I think this will be the technique that I use from now on to put the stretcher on.
Hope this helps π
I picked up that stretcher that I linked to above, and I like the weight of it, but it’s still pretty hard to put on. I suspect I’ll get better at it, but apparently I have more scrotal skin than I need, as it’s a beach and a half to get it all to fit inside the stretcher, but I can do it, and have managed to wear it a LOT longer than I’ve ever been able to wear the leather ones that I have. I do believe that a hinged stretcher is definitely the way to go, as I can’t imagine even getting it on without one; trying to put one side on with a loosely threaded bolt seems like a damn good way to strip out a bolt, or worse, the internal threads of the hole it goes into.
Here’s a pic of it on, in case anyone’s curious:
The glans ring is one I picked up from Male Essentials. I really like it.
Let me know if you have any questions π
I have to say, that for me, leather ones just don’t work, as I just can’t wear them for any real length of time.
But, I went ahead and ordered the one that I linked to above, and given my experience with steel (surgical stainless steel) base/cock rings, and glans rings, I really like how they work, and how they feel. The extra weight is nice, and the way they warm up helps make them really comfortable.
If you do decide to make these, please make a hinged variant, as I’m betting newbies to this, like me, will very much appreciate them. Just because it’ll help make them a lot easier to put on, and make it less painful (potentially) as well.
As always, let me know if you want a tester π

You could also try a custom sized Stealth. I ordered one, but haven’t yet received it. (Shipping from China takes ages.) I’ll be ordering another one with an experimental feature, when I’m able to. But, getting back to the pinching, if you’re too tight near the base, but fine everywhere else, try measuring yourself as you would for the normal Stealth, but also take mid-shaft, and base measurements, and convert those to Stealth sizes, and see if any deviate from your normal measure, if so, perhaps a custom fit would be right for you.

Baby powder/corn starch can help a lot here, as well. I strongly recommend corn starch over baby powder, because it’s easier to handle, just don’t breathe either of them in, if you can avoid it. Most baby powders are made from ground mica (a very soft rock, which is then ground into a fine powder), so I try to avoid those.
It works really well for me to prevent sticking. I use it as an aid to keeping the skin dry.
Cool, if you want to drop an invoice at my email, I’ll go ahead and order it.
Could it also be custom sized, like in my current order? If so, I’d be interested in trying it out. But I’ll have to wait ’til Thursday to place the order.
Hey Stealth Man,
I think that would be a great idea. Let me know if you need a tester π
