Oxballs Juicy users – is it normal to feel tightness/constriction around the base while pumping?

Hey guys,

I recently started using the Oxballs Juicy as a cylinder base sleeve/separator during pumping to reduce scrotal pull and turkey neck.

It definitely keeps the balls and loose skin out of the tube much better, and the pumping feels more shaft-focused now. Less skin gets pulled into the cylinder and the expansion seems more concentrated on the shaft itself.

But I also notice a pretty strong tightness/constriction feeling around the base during sessions, almost like the base expansion is being restricted by the thick silicone.

A few things I noticed:

Less scrotal skin entering the tube.

Less overall pumped length inside the cylinder.

More focused girth expansion.

Feels like the same vacuum pressure may be more intense/effective now.

I’m currently using it with a 2” cylinder, and honestly the Juicy feels slightly oversized/thick for that tube size.

For those using the Juicy:

Is that tightness at the base normal?

Does it mean the load is more focused on the shaft?

Or is it a sign the ring is too restrictive?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences/settings.
