Hey there all secretleatherforum members. I’m Alessio and I’m proud to now call myself a ball stretcher and join this community. I got my first weight mid June this summer and but never wore it consistently, and then really lost motivation to wear it all in August. However I just celebrated by 21st birthday and I made a bit of an early New Year’s resolution to myself to truly commit and dedicate myself to getting those low hangers we all desire and love!
So pivoting a bit, I revisited Jarod’s guide and educated myself on the various progressions and methods. I plan on following his instructions and hopefully make some notable gains this year.
With that here is my hardware:
From left to right
40x32mm - 22.4oz
20x32mm - 10.1oz
30x32mm - 17oz
Of course as a newbie I cannot wear all three of these weights together, but hopefully with time that will
Be possible… especially after seeing users such as BG and HangLow. Big shoutout to those guys you’re both big inspirations to me!
I literally just go these weights in the mail today a few hours ago, and after a nice warm bath and washing the weights I geared up and am now wearing my 20x32mm weight, feels like it’s not even there and is really comfortable, absolutely loving the feel and look!
Here’s my current stretch and hang:
It’s is truly amazing to embark on this journey, no way I could wait till I’m in my 50s or 60s to get my low hangers. I’m loving every minute of it and im here for the journey of a lifetime. I hope to share more with you all very soon! Keep on stretching!
Also side note, currently I am just using Vaseline as lubricant, I know shea or cocoa butter raw or in oil form is optimal, just please let me know which is better and why or is it ok to use Vaseline?
