Finally had a chance to get to use the thing.
Having a learning curve is an understatement. After taking more and more hair off of the nether region, I finally was able to get decent suction to keep the thing on for more than 5 minutes. I ended up having to take the grey base piece off too.
If i shaved all the hair off, there is no doubt that there would be perfect suction, but I'm not about to get rid of everything. I just need to experiment more and see what works best.
Weekend wasnt joking about it trying to suck your balls in. Holy shit that was painful!
