Why I Chose It

I chose the Oxy Screw You Ball Stretcher as the best overall ball stretcher as it has a weightiness that provides a satisfying stretch and a unique design. This special shape is designed to stay in place around the scrotum a lot better than completely round ball stretchers.

Our reviewer, Devon, was very impressed, commenting that the “Oxy Screw You Ball Stretcher is much more impressive than [he] anticipated.” He loved the industrial design and really like that can be “tethered with a chain or rope” for some ball restraint.

I also think it’s great that while this ball stretcher looks intimidating, Devon found it comfortable enough to wear “24/7 with no discomfort or negative issues.” Plus, he thought the screw design made itone of the easiest ball stretchers to put on and remove.”

Why I Chose It

With the heaviest model clocking in at a hefty 340 g (depending on the size), the Ergonest is easily the heaviest ball stretcher we’ve reviewed here at Bedbible. On top of that, it’s extremely well made, offering a satisfying stretch while still being very comfortable!

Our reviewer, Devon, has “been wearing stainless steel ball stretchers pretty much 24/7 for about 3 years”, so he knows a fair amount about what makes a good one. He was so impressed by the Ergonest that he named it the “ultimate ball stretcher for every day wear,” commenting that the cradle shape was the “perfect design for all day wear.”

He reviewed the heavy model in size B and found that it was so comfortable that he sometimes forgot he was wearing it until he stood up and felt gravity pull the weight down!

He was pleasantly surprised by how secure the clasp was and was “happy to report that after a full week of wear during work and sleep, everything remained secure.”

  • Made of thick, soft silicone
  • Stretches to fit all sizes
  • Round shape with flared edges for comfort.

Specifications

Pros

  • Super soft and stretchy
  • Very beginner-friendly
  • Good for a gentle tugging

Cons

  • Not a big stretch
  • Can get slippery if using lube
  • Quite a plain design

Why I Chose It

While I haven’t used the Bondage Boutique Silicone Ball Stretcher personally, as I lack the required equipment, I have used it with my partner and grilled him about the experience!

This was our first foray into ball stretching, so I think we were both relieved that it was a gentle introduction. At just 1.25 inches in width and without any added weight, the stretch is subtle and my partner commented that it was pleasant but didn’t offer a lot of stimulation.

The things he enjoyed most about the stretcher was the extra focus it put on his balls and we both enjoyed how they looked pulled tight!

We found that if we’d already been using lube and things were a bit slippery, the stretcher could slide off, but aside from that, it was fun to give a little tug on!

Having touched a LOT of silicone in my time, I was also very surprised by how squishy and stretchy it was. I love that it’s made of silicone and not TPE, as it’s stronger and more hygienic!

  • One hole for penis restriction

Pros

  • A two-in-one product
  • Thick comfortable material
  • Feels durable

Cons

  • Can be tricky to put on

Why I Chose It

I think the Oxballs Cocksling 2 is a really accessible ball stretcher that would make a great beginner-friendly option. I like that it offers both ball stretching and a light restriction around the penis that can help boost erections!

Jeremy tested it out for us and share that it “has become a personal favorite,” commenting that it’s “easy to use, durable, and comfortable.” 

He loved “how snug the sling fits and it is great for retaining blood in the penis for firmer erections.” However, he did mention that it doesn’t provide a particularly strong ball stretching sensation, so I wouldn’t recommend it for more extreme ball stretching.

Pros

  • Versatile kit great for experimenting and easing into ball stretching

Cons

  • No storage bag/box
  • No clip for adding more weights to the parachute

Why I Chose It

I love the versatility of this ball stretching kit, and although it’s called the beginners ball stretching kit, I can easily see it being great for intermediate level play as well!

Our tester, Jesse, is relatively new to ball stretching and found “this was the perfect product to explore further.” He really liked that the kit allowed you to experience “the full range from the less extreme, to full on hardcore!”

The parachute ball stretcher turned out to be a surprise favorite, and he enjoyed the tugging it offered so much that he added 1200 g in weight!

He also noted that he enjoyed “the strong and sturdy industrial feeling” of the stainless steel ball weights and liked the “feel of the cold steel against [his] balls.”

The silicone ball stretcher also offers a different sensation and ” gives you a great hold for some tugging” during partnered play.

I also think the kit provides great value for money considering the variation and quality you get!

Why I Chose It

The Kali’s Teeth Ball Stretcher was a clear winner for the best CBT ball stretcher! I think this is one of the scariest looking devices I’ve come across – and I’ve seen a LOT! It’s also incredibly well-made, so although it looks very dangerous, when used properly, it’s safe!

Aaron tested it out for us and was enamored with it, going as far as to say it is “addictive” and “downright essential” for any ” fellow pain-loving weirdos” — his words, not mine!

He did find that the Kali’s teeth is painful, as intended, but “it never feels like bodily-harm-hurt, just an immense superficial hurt.” 

I like that the Kali’s teeth can be worn as a ball stretcher or cock ring, making it a great all-round CBT toy. It also locks closed, adding to the terror of the device!

Buying Guide

Size

Size

Size

You want your testicle stretcher to be snug without being uncomfortable tight or restricting your blood flow. Measure around the top of your scrotum with your balls hanging below and take the measurements a few times to find an average.

Material

Material

Material

Stretchy materials, like silicone or TPE, are generally less intense to wear, whereas non-stretchy materials, like leather and steel will be more intense.

Another thing to keep in mind is the cleaning. Both silicone and steel can be fully sterilized while leather and TPE can only be cleaned but can absorb bacteria.

Height

Height

Height

How tall the ball stretcher is determines how far your sack has to stretch, so the taller it is, the more intense the stretch will be. Beginners should start with a shorter sleeve and gradually work up.

Weights

Weights

Weights

If you want to increase the intensity and add more sensation, you can look for a weighted testicle stretcher, which will also provide some more intense tugging.

Always start low and slow with the additional weight and take your time before increasing the weight to reduce the risk of damaging your scrotum.

What Do Ball Stretchers Do?

Okay, we hear you, what do ball stretchers do? They are a weird concept, to be fair. But they’re honestly not that confusing. So let’s go over a few things that ball stretchers actually do!

They turn you on!

They turn you on!

They turn you on!

Why use ball stretchers unless they turn you on? Well here’s the thing – they can feel REALLY good! The pulling, weighted, stretching sensations that they provide can really arouse some people! So ball stretchers can certainly be a massive turn on!

They prolong orgasms!

They prolong orgasms!

They prolong orgasms!

This one is just simple biology! Semen comes from your balls, and in order to ejaculate your balls have to contract and ‘squeeze’ the semen from them. Well, if your balls are stretched and held down, they are less likely to be able to contract and set that semen free, meaning your orgasms are prolonged!

They look great!

They look great!

They look great!

A lot of people think that ball stretchers really do make their balls look awesome! It’s a pretty incredible sight, seeing your balls stretched, gently contorted, and weighed down. And if you love the look, your partner may well love the look too!

They help develop fetishes!

They help develop fetishes!

They help develop fetishes!

Everyone’s got some kind of fetish, no matter how much someone might deny it! Ball stretchers and having your balls stretched technically falls under the category of BDSM, and if you’re happy to try ball stretchers, maybe you’re happy to branch out in other BDSM directions. They’re a gateway to a whole new world!

Ball Spreader Safety

It’s important to keep things safe when you’re using your ball stretchers. After all, the balls are easy enough to accidentally damage, and we’re sure most guys out there understand the pain of accidentally getting hit in the nuts. Oof! Yeah! So here are two of the main points as to how to keep things safe when using your ball stretchers!

Like cock rings, a ball spreader cuts into the circulation on your package. The tighter your spreader is, the more this is true. While leaving the toy on a bit over the recommended time likely won’t cause any issues, leaving it on for extremely extended amounts of time could cause genuine issues. We recommend taking a break every thirty minutes to avoid circulatory issues.

Make sure it fits correctly!

Make sure it fits correctly!

Make sure it fits correctly!

A proper fitting ball stretcher is super important! Too big and it will fall off and have no effect, too small and you can cause yourself some real damage. Having the right amount of tightness is essential, so it’s always worth making sure that you and your ball stretcher are a match, size wise!

Make sure you're using it properly!

Make sure you're using it properly!

Make sure you're using it properly!

It might sound silly, but you’d be surprised how often people wear their ball stretchers wrong! Always check that you’re wearing yours right and that it is being worn as the manufacturer intended. Check the packaging or instructions if you are unsure, because ball stretchers that aren’t being worn properly could cause some serious injuries!
