I am playing with some elastrator pliers and bands, So I have questions.... I have banded myself for up to 40 minutes , but I can't take it any longer. The feeling in my stomach makes me absolutely nauseous. It's not pain exactly but it is exceedingly uncomfortable. I have tried icing the balls down this got me from 30 to 40 minutes. Anybody else got any ideas? Also I have to wait a couple days between banding sessions because my testicles seem to " swell" up for a couple of days after being banded that long. They won't go back thru the rubber rings with out being squeezed painfully. Then if they hurt from the beginning I am too big of a whimp to leave them on longer. I have tried the topical anesthetic creams and they don't help with the nausea. Anybody got any ideas short of putting he band on and cuffing my hands behind my back?
