OXBALLS AIRBALLS Air-Lite Ball Stretcher – Black Ice

OXBALLS AIRBALLS takes the vented design of the brand's AIR cock ring and stretches it into a 2-inch-tall ball stretcher. The body is punched with drainage holes, which makes it noticeably lighter than a solid stretcher, and the soft PLUS+SILICONE blend rolls on easily while holding enough tension to give a steady pull. The Black Ice colour is a dark, translucent finish. It's a good fit for anyone who wants the feel and look of a stretcher without wearing weight.

What a stretcher actually does

A stretcher sits around the top of the scrotum, above the testicles, and holds them lower than they'd normally hang. The result is a constant, gentle tug and a separated, on-display look that many people enjoy in BDSM play, under a jock, or just for the sensation during sex. The 2-inch height gives a moderate stretch: noticeable, but nowhere near the pull of a tall or weighted metal stretcher.

How the vented design feels

Because so much of the material is replaced by holes, AIRBALLS feels lighter on the body than a solid tube of the same size. Air and lube move through the vents, which helps on longer sessions when solid stretchers get sweaty. OXBALLS shapes the top edge with an ergonomic dip, meant for guys whose sack sits high and tight and who find straight-sided stretchers pinch. The blend is smooth and squishy rather than hard, so it moves with you when you change position.

Putting on a ball stretcher

Do this when you're relaxed and warm; a shower beforehand helps, because warm skin is looser and the material stretches more willingly. Lube the inside of the opening and the skin. Stretch the stretcher wide, pass one testicle through, then the other, and roll it up so it sits snug at the top of the sack with the dip facing your body. Take it slowly; never force it. Start with short wears of around 15 to 20 minutes and remove it immediately if you feel numbness, coldness or pain. Taking it off is the same process in reverse.

Pairing and stacking

OXBALLS notes that AIRBALLS works alone or stacked with another stretcher, either above or below it, if you want more height. It's also made to sit alongside the AIR ring in Black Ice, which matches it in colour and venting: wear the ring around the shaft and the stretcher on the sack. The holes can hold electro contacts, so electro players can wire it into an existing e-stim setup.

Cleaning and storage

Wash it in warm, soapy water after every use and flush water through each vent. Shake it out and let it air-dry completely before storing, as moisture left in the holes is what makes vented toys smell. Keep it in its own cloth pouch away from other toys. Water-based lube is the easy choice with this material. Check the stretcher for small splits around the vents now and then, and replace it if you find one, since a tear can widen quickly once the material is under tension.
