Introductions discussion

Hi there, I’m wondering if you recall, but last week we all agreed that a 45mm ring was the ideal fit for me (and my device). Lately, though, some symptoms have made me question whether I should stick with it or switch back to a 50mm. There are a few reasons behind this. Firstly, the new device requires a plain circular ring rather than an oval or arc-base shape, meaning the width is consistently 45mm all around. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of plain rings compared to oval ones, and whether size matters significantly between these two types. 1.) After measuring several times, my base diameter where the ring sits seems to be about 50-55mm under tight pressure. Would a 5mm difference actually impact how snug it feels or how hard it is to put on? 2.) With the 45mm ring, I feel my second testicle cramping as I push it through. Once past that point, pushing in my fully flaccid penis (without arousal) is quite tough because I have to pinch and pull it through. Ouch. The same struggle happens when removing it; I can feel the pressure on my testicles as they come out with the ring. This doesn’t happen with the 50mm size, where everything slides in easily—perhaps too easily. When wearing the 50mm, I sense that a tighter fit might be possible while flaccid. Maybe this pain is just normal. 3.) While semi-erect with the 45mm ring on, I can’t even get a lubricated cotton swab inside unless I push the ring down into my scrotum, add lube, and pull it back up. The pressure when erect seems quite high, which explains why I developed a rash. Interestingly, the 50mm causes a different kind of irritation from side-to-side rubbing while walking, but applying overnight lube helps since there’s no movement during sleep. 4.) Lastly, I’ve noticed a gland or bump in my perineum (the muscle between the rectum and penis) that swells up just before I need to urinate when erect. This spot is right where the ring sits against the body as if it were perfectly fitted. Consequently, wearing the 45mm ring snugly overnight without any device attached causes me unbearable pain. I don’t think it’s an infection; it seems related to my bladder or prostate instead. Once I get a 50mm ring, I plan to test again to see if the tightness was indeed the culprit. Does anyone else notice this gland? So, while I acknowledge that 50mm might be slightly large for me now, I feel confident that 45mm is too tight currently. Is there such a thing as a 47mm ring? No luck so far. Looking forward to your thoughts. Have a wonderful day.
