I'm not really sure if this fits under dressing or a health issue... but it's going here at the moment.

C 5/6 quad, no triceps, 14 years post injury. Transferring took too much out of me for the first couple years that I just gave up on it... then gave up on dressing/undressing when I had a girlfriend that did it faster...

long story short... started using an overhead track lift to get my butt in and out of bed. I'm able to easily use it independently, so I've started to dress and undress again. Undressing is simple. Dressing is a little more difficult, but manageable. However, I'm having a real issue keeping track of my balls. To make cathing easier I go commando (no underwear). I've tried several different types and they just complicate matters too much. But without them, the boys fall right through my thighs when I sit up and once I'm in my chair I cannot dig them out.

How do you guys get around it? Any and all input welcome!

Thanks

When I finally came to the conclusion my testicles would never again be of any use to me what so ever, I simply cut them off and hung them around my neck on a piece of rusty barb wire. Makes for a great conversation starter at parties and such. The gals love it and all the puftas want a pair.

Fed mine to the dog (not you E-Dog, that really was meat balls...!)

actually can't really answer for you as I'm para not quad, but guess someone's gotta go digging for them each time you transfer?

Or tie a bit of string round your scrotum and just yank them out from under when you are settled. (please note: I am not a doctor)

Is that what they use? Can't say I blame them

Those gals are worth their weight in gold.
