I strongly disagree - at least, if horsedick99 is referring to the one I bought: http://tinyurl.com/348zoym . I’ve been 100% satisfied with my ADS, and am now on my second silicone cup.
I’ve been using it since January, and I still get EQs in the 9 range. no negative side effects.
As far as the original post goes, you might want to consider that the ADS is air and water tight. No air or water gets in, no air or water gets out. Your skin can’t "breathe". However, water still transpires from the skin - that’s why the silicone feels slippery inside when you take it off when you know it was dry when you put it on. The end result is that your glans will be exposed to water the entire time you have it on, and just like when you remove a band-aid, the skin underneath can look white/leathery/wrinkled, but it should go away after an hour or so.
Even if the skin is red and wrinkled, that’s just a result of the vacuum in the ADS. The vacuum causes blood to rise to the surface of the glans. With me, that also disappears fairly soon after I take it off. By "fairly soon" I mean sometimes an hour, sometimes a day.
My opinion is that some discoloration should be expected and is not a sign of injury. Blisters - now THOSE are an injury. If you get a blister, give your unit a healing break and reduce the tension. I haven’t had a blister in months, and I started using the ADS in January.
