Pinching balls on trisuit
Quote | Reply
Any get the feeling of their balls getting pinched from a trisuit? Is there something im doing wrong? Should I pull the leg area down to give it some space or should I pull it up to make it snug?

Note: trisuit is new. It's the same as my old one in terms of size (kiwami prima to prima2)

As soon as I put on the suit, before I actually start moving in my trisuit, I do some exaggerated leg motions to get the suit better in place in the crotch area. Without doing that, there seems to be too much space in one area and pinching in another. Try some circular leg motions, extensions, etc until the suit "fits" the crotch area.

Indoor Triathlete - I thought I was right, until I realized I was wrong.

No need. Just train them to retract up the inguinal canal, then re-descend after you finish.

Cold-water swim seems to solve the problem.

First the suit needs to be tight. Then before you zip it up, you pull all that junk as high as you can in front and forget about it.

If you're on your bike and close enough for someone to grab your balls

a) You're probably drafting, but
b) Shows excellent handing skills, by both of you

I always make sure to adjust the boys well when putting it on to prepare for the bike and not being pinched. Sometimes they shift in the swim and I lose 1st in AG due to a pit stop to unzip, reach down the front and adjust on the bike course...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who readjusts their balls on the bike course. But I do it while I'm riding to save time...

I tried but could not get the zipper back up on my full sleeve tri suit with one hand.
Had to pull over and zip up.... and there went my 30 seconds from 1st to 2nd in AG. Doh!

Mine definitely get a little scrunched but the real issue happens when I put the wet suit on. My one nut always pops back in and out while I'm swimming .extremely uncomfortable
