The Tantus Ball Stretcher Kit in Crimson is a two-piece set of flexible silicone rings made for external scrotum play. Both bands have the same published 1.5-inch inner diameter, but they differ in width: one measures 0.73 inch and the other 1.23 inches. That gives you a narrower starting option and a wider option that may be used separately. Tantus also describes the pair as stackable, but stacking should come only after you have confirmed that each band fits comfortably on its own.
Product 3606 is identified by store SKU NAL-77697, supplier SKU 77697, manufacturer number 0192-00-TC, and UPC 830539004787. The current Tantus resource page and the controlled supplier record agree on the product identity, crimson color, two-piece construction, material, opening size, band widths, stackability, and lubricant restriction. They disagree about which band weighs 0.5 versus 0.7 ounce, so this page does not assign a weight to either individual band.

The 1.5-inch figure is an unstretched inside diameter, not a promise that the set will fit every body. A mathematically equivalent circle would have a circumference of about 4.71 inches, but the silicone is flexible and living tissue changes with temperature, arousal, position, and time. Use the published diameter to compare products, then judge the actual fit by comfort, circulation, skin color, temperature, and easy removal. For more background, see our cock-ring measurement guide and cock-ring fit and safety guide.
What the two widths change
Both pieces surround the scrotum above the testicles. The 0.73-inch band covers less vertical space, while the 1.23-inch band creates a wider stretch. The wider band is not automatically “better” or more advanced; anatomy and comfort matter more than the number. Start with one band. Only consider the second width or stacking after you know that the first band remains comfortable, removable, and circulation-safe throughout a short, supervised trial.
Stacking increases the total width around the scrotum and can make removal more demanding. Do not stack the pair merely because Tantus says they can be stacked. If either individual band is difficult to apply, feels excessively tight, causes pressure at one edge, or cannot be removed promptly, stacking is not appropriate. Browse the broader Cock Rings and Ball Toys collection if you need a different opening, shape, or removal method.
Fitting routine
- Inspect both rings for tears, cuts, tackiness, permanent distortion, sharp debris, or other damage.
- Have clean, dry hands and keep enough time and privacy for slow removal if the fit is not right.
- Use a small amount of water-based lubricant on the inner surface and skin. Tantus specifically says the set is not recommended with silicone lubricant.
- Begin with relaxed tissue and one band. Stretch the silicone gently and guide the scrotum through without pinching or forcing tissue.
- Settle the ring above the testicles. Check that skin is not folded sharply and that the band is not pressing unevenly.
- Keep the first trial short and supervised. Recheck comfort, color, warmth, sensation, swelling, and removal access frequently.
This product is a ball stretcher, not a conventional ring intended to encircle both the penis shaft and scrotum. Do not use it as an insertable product, and do not route it around anatomy in a way the continuous opening cannot accommodate comfortably. If you are unsure which external ring style matches your goal, start with the Ball Ring and Cock and Ball Ring collections and compare each product’s stated use.
Circulation and removal boundaries
Remove the band immediately if you notice pain, burning, tingling, numbness, cold tissue, marked color change, increasing swelling, loss of sensation, dizziness, or any symptom that feels wrong. Never treat discomfort as proof that the product is working. Do not sleep in it, leave it on while unattended, or use it when alcohol, medication, recreational drugs, neuropathy, injury, or another condition could make warning signs harder to notice.
There is no verified Tantus wear-time limit for this exact kit in the current evidence, so this page does not invent one. Your first use should be brief enough to confirm fit and easy removal. Remove it between trials and reassess the skin and tissue before using it again. If tissue remains discolored, cold, numb, swollen, or painful after removal, seek medical care. If a ring cannot be removed promptly, treat that as urgent rather than waiting for the problem to resolve on its own.
Consent and partner use
For partner play, agree in advance on who controls application and removal, what the wearer wants to feel, how often you will check in, and what signal ends the activity. The wearer should be able to stop the session immediately without debate. Do not add another band, change position, or increase tension without a new check-in. The set is manual, so sensation comes from fit and positioning rather than a motor or remote. You can browse other manual products or the Tantus collection for related options.
Lubricant, cleaning, and storage
Use water-based lubricant. Tantus explicitly says these silicone bands are not recommended with silicone lubricant, so do not assume that a silicone-on-silicone combination is compatible. Reapply only as needed for comfortable movement and removal; excess lubricant can also make handling less controlled.
For routine cleaning, wash before and after use with warm water and mild unscented soap, rinse away residue, and let both pieces dry completely. Tantus describes the material as boilable, bleachable, and dishwasher safe, but those are manufacturer material claims rather than a complete procedure. Review the current Tantus instructions before using high heat, bleach, or an appliance, and never mix cleaning chemicals. Our cleaning and storage guide explains inspection, thorough drying, and separate storage.
Store the clean, fully dry bands separately from materials that could transfer dye, oil, or residue. Keep them away from direct sunlight, high heat, sharp objects, and pressure that could deform the rings. Inspect again before every use and replace either band if the silicone tears, develops deep cuts, becomes persistently tacky, or no longer returns to its intended shape.
Bottom line
This kit provides two verified widths around the same 1.5-inch inner opening, giving you a clear way to compare a narrower and wider external scrotum band. Its useful advantages are the soft flexible silicone, separate width choices, and optional stacking after fit is established. Its limits are equally important: the nominal diameter does not guarantee fit, stacking increases demand, silicone lubricant is excluded by Tantus, and circulation or removal problems require immediate action.
