Seeking Feedback — 400–500ml Infusions, Considering Dextrose for Long-Term Gains

[Torrent99]

Hey everyone,
I've been doing saline infusions into the scrotum with decent success — usually 300–500ml, and I'm pretty happy with how it looks short-term. Attached are a couple photos from recent fills.

I'm now thinking about moving toward dextrose (D5W or D10W) for more lasting tissue expansion. Just want to start cycling more intentionally and see how far I can go with aesthetics in mind.

Goals:

Greater hang/bigger package
Fuller look even when not inflated

Anyone here made that transition from saline to dextrose and seen gains over time?
Any advice on infusion rate, frequency, or managing would be much appreciated.

The only long term gains you get from saline or dextrose infusions is temporary size gains. With semi-frequent inflations however, you can cause tissue expansion giving you more space for larger inflations, pumping also does the same thing really, but doesn't require infusions. Granted it does take longer to achieve. But relatively the same results in terms of that. Staying larger longer from normal saline to dextrose/glucose usages is pretty minimal. But it also varies person to person. Generally speaking for most people whether you do normal saline or glucose based infusions, after 3-7 days you're back to your normal size. Depending on variables like tie offs, amount infused, etc. Size maintenance would revolve around that. So in order to stay the size you are at say 1L of inflated size constantly you'd probably have to infuse several hundred mls every couple of days to stay that size. But in terms of long term gains, really all saline infusions do is increase your capacity when infused. Not really much else other than that. Saline is a neutral fluid your body processes and you urinate out.Permanent size gains that stay for long periods are why people go the more dangerous routes of silicone/surgilube injections and the like.

So in other words, yes it will increase your hang, but not the size per se.

Fuller look? Only during the week or so you've infused. It doesn't stay around unless you're re-infusing every few days.

Appreciate the info. Too bad — I thought dextrose would help achieve a more permanent full scrotum.

I'll start there, but am not opposed to surgilube on the long term.

I have personally found that using solutions that cause swelling have increased my capacity over the past year that I've been infusing. I was about 18.5" max circumference at this time last year and hit 21" a few days ago for the first time. HOWEVER you will get almost no swell by using D5W. It needs to be Dextrose5% in Sodium Cloride (D5NS). It will come premixed in a saline solution of .45% or .9%.

.45% causes a noticeable swell, but .9% will about the same as dextrose 10%

Check the osmolality on the bag. Regular saline is about 300, (close to your body's osmolality). Dex5% in Water will have also have almost no swell because it is only 250 osmolality.

If you're looking for swell, you'll want a solution that's higher in osmolality:

D5NS(.45%) - 405 osmolality
D5NS(.9%) - 560 osmolality
D10 - 505 osmolality
D5LR(lactated ringers) - 530

Those last two solutions would also provide no sting since there is the absence of saline in them.

As far as aesthetics when not infused, everything basicallyooks the same still, but once I have actual underwear on, my bulge does seem larger than average

The saline sting was too much, so I switched to Dextrose pretty quickly. Done D5W, D10W, and D5NS many times.

My package hangs much lower when infused, but part of my routine is pumping a few hours after infusing. It pulls any migrated fluids back into the sack, and the light pressure stretches the sack.

The MonsterTube is the easiest to get in and out of. Once the body starts to absorb the infusion, I switch to the long Johnny to continue stretching the sack to get the hang.

I will try a solution with higher osmality.
I hope more swelling over time will increase the natural ball bag size.
