Budget-Friendly Chastity Gear

I’ve noticed a lot of guys starting in chastity ask about an inexpensive device. Sometimes we “pros” in chastity forget that we were apprehensive when buying our first device. The thought was “Wow, that much money for something I may not like.” I think when we immerse ourselves into chastity it’s almost universal that you’ll end up in a custom device. What I hope what this thread does is to be a common place to explore inexpensive devices. This Forum has good discussions about inexpensive devices but they’re scattered all over. Please share your personal experience with inexpensive devices, good and bad. An inexpensive device, for this thread, will be one under $100 US or 75 Euro. If you write a review please list the device name, where you got it, and the price.

I'd like to comment, since I'm a newbie, and if I may I may deviate a slight bit. When I finally told my wife I wanted to try chastity and she agreed, I ordered a CB6K Chrome. I spent probably 140 with shipping...and when it came it didn't fit. Couldn't even get into it. I never told my wife about THAT but I ordered a Bird Cage since it was larger. Well, it came, and it was almost too painful to wear. I happened to break it so I ordered another since I didn't know of MM yet. It came, it's locked on, more comfortable than the first (how?) but still could be a more comfortable fit. What I'm saying is if you're sure you want to enter this realm...just do it right the first time and get something custom fit. I have well over the price of a customer sized Jail Bird in the 3 I've had/have so far. Had I done my research or found Mature Metal sooner I wouldn't have made the rookie mistakes. Oddly enough I'm the type that if I want to try something, I buy the best and don't look back. In my excitement and haste to try chastity I blew more money than I would have had I just got a custom size Jail Bird. My advice to newcomers, and I'm no vet. at this, is to just think about it, and if you're sure...spend the money. I still plan to buy a MM Jail Bird as I'd prefer to wear a device I don't have to adjust, or squirm from. Food for thought and I didn't mean to sidetrack the thread at all. -New

I'm a big fan of the CB6000 and CB6000s and whilst I did pay more than $100 when I bought mine way back I noticed that you can now get them on for less than a hundred bucks which is pretty damn cheap. I'd definitely reccommend this model to anyone that's just looking to get their feet wet;)

I still plan to buy a MM Jail Bird as I'd prefer to wear a device I don't have to adjust, or squirm from. As it happens, I'm still using a CB3000, although admittedly I've made some modifications on my own. Unfortunately, it's hard to judge what type of device to get if you haven't had any experience with it. I could easily imagine someone spending $300 on a nice MM design, and then become frustrated at having to return it several times to have the fit adjusted. Even some veterans can't always judge, and have had alterations. I don't see this ass being different from any other hobby or interest. If it's something that appeals to you, don't buy cheap, buy in the mid-range and from there, figure out what you need. For most people, that means going with one of the mass-produced models. It didn't work out well for you, but the fact that they sell so many of them seems to point out that it works for quite a few other people.

I think this is a good idea. My biggest concern when we first started was using devices that might be very expensive and this be a practice we didn't continue. We started with a really harsh device that was metal but the edges were not rounded but straight cut, so it was pretty severe. It was used as a play device and for punishment. It was only when we realised that we both enjoyed the longer cycles of wearing that we started to be serious about the device. We got a CB6000 but CQ (and may other KH's have a similar view) didn't take to the apperance of the device and the frequent need to remove it for hygeine reasons. However, the main thing was it helped us learn about devices, sizing, comfort etc and then when we were comfortable with the whole practice we upgraded to a MM jail bird and we are now thinking about other devices. I do think though that some of the really super cheap 'chinese' knock offs should be avoided.

Here's my 2 penny's worth. Image The 1st is a cheap Sentinel copy, purchased from and measures 40mm at the opening, tapering down to the tip. Know of anyone with a dick that tapers in that direction? Me neither. I found the 45mm hinged ring easy to get on, but a little too big. Also, the bulge formed by the hinge can dig in. I chose it because I liked the look, but I'm sure that if I tried to gain entry to a chastity party, I'd still be standing outside, whilst my dick shrivelled in the cold and the whole thing dropped off. However, standing behind me in the queue would be the guy who purchased the device pictured 2nd. Only he wouldn't be standing, he'd be lying down due to massive blood loss from the sharp internal edges on the cage bars which were left unsoldered. I sent mine straight back to uberkinky for a refund without trying it on. And it was only at this point that I read up on the subject here and am now in the process of ordering a steelheart.

Sorry for your misfortune though. I love my Steelheart, I hope you have better luck with that. Were you able to get enough experience to help with the measurements?

> Atone wrote:Were you able to get enough experience to help with the measurements? Hopefully. I would have gone down the cb series practice route but for the fact that Her Sweetness, my wife, won't allow plastic. She chose the steeheart over the jailbird I was looking at because of it's tube design. Her reasoning is that she's making life easier for me because, "Out of sight is out of mind".:? I zip tied the 45mm hinged ring for practice and found it easy to get on, but a little loose once on. It's a flat ring, 14mm (9/16"?) and different to Dietmar's which I guess won't help:roll: Anyway, following advice here (which may have been yours, actually, so thanks) I'm going for 2 rings at 44mm and 42mm. Thought about the bipartite design, but found little support/info here, so they'll be solid. The tube diameter will be 33mm, as I'm 31mm flaccid and the length will be my flaccid length of 55mm. What do you think? Should I allow an extra 5mm on the length as I'm uncut? I certainly don't fancy getting any protruding foreskin pinched or rubbed. Love the integrated lock, so that's getting ordered. Finally, again following advice here, I went for the comfort ring on the base of the tube.

Whoops! My apologies to Locked by LRC for the unintended hijack.

I don't disagree with any of the comments made about the higher priced devices being the best choice. With the money I spent on devices before I bought a MM device I would have saved by getting it first. The problem was I didn't have the funds at the time to go all out and get a quality device. I didn't know if it was a fantasy or a reality of something I wanted to do. There are many posts here that members have said they wanted to try chastity but have limited disposable funds. They are buying cheap devices. Some are pleased, for the amount spent, with their devices. Some are very disappointed and say it was a waste of money. Almost all intend to by a quality device when they can afford it. My intent was to help those members make a decision on what not to waste their limited funds on. If a person wants a car and can only afford a VW and you keep telling him not to waste his money, to buy a Mercedes, do you think they are going to wait? A couple of examples that would help members with limited funds; **BAD** > member_e5dd28ad49 wrote:Got the Attica yesterday and didn't even try it on - what a shambles! Missing welds on the inside left the sharp edges of the bars exposed. Back it went and I'll have to save for the jailbird. **GOOD** > Chastitycage wrote:I have recently started using a steel spiral chastity cage.

Ok I'm a newbie, but having just got a cheap device I thought I'd give my input. I've done my research on chastity and slowly let my wife know my interest. She thought it was weird at first, but deep down i think she like the idea and we agreed that we'd get a cheap device to try. I really don't understand why so many people on this forum swear by the CB3000 / CB6000 devices. We both liked the looks of a stainless steel device better, and to me it seemed much easier to keep clean than a solid plastic device. So after some research I showed her the A080 cage on DH gate for about $40 plus free shipping if you're willing to wait: ... #s1-1-null It arrived a few weeks ago and we've been playing with it ever since. The longest I've done is 3 days. Like I said, I'm very new to this, but for the price, this device is well built, comfortable, looks good, is not bulky under clothes, and is very secure. My only complaint is that the lock has some sharp edges but I will either get a new lock or file down the edges. Also, the cock ring can cause some irritation, but I understand this will happen with almost any device. A little lube cleared up that issue. Am I missing something? Why is a cheap device so frowned upon? Maybe I'm just lucky that it seems to fit me well.

That was exactly my experience with the Attica pictured overleaf - bars not joined, leaving razor sharp edges.:o

Jake here (Wendy's husband and lockholder) We started with a CB6K. It was a great first device because it was adjustable. Over the first year I went through a lot of swapping rings and spacers to get a comfortable fit. The geometry down there kept changing. Eventually I just broke too damn many of the plastic devices. I am glad to have upgraded to metal. But I think it would've been a disaster if I'd started off with a metal device. I never would have gotten a comfortable fit without the CB6k to work off of. By the time I bought a MM things seemed to have stablized and the same ring size and spacing has worked for me since then. If I started all over again I'd do it the same way. I'd still get a CB6k. I'd get the short to begin with though. That was much more comfortable than the regular. I'd wear it until it broke too many times and then email MM when I was ready. -Jake out.

As a freshly minted newbie to this forum and having eventually knuckled down (no pun intended) to trawling through the wealth of info here, it struck me that the consensus was indeed that the cb series offered a good benchmark to getting accurate measurements which could later be transposed to custom metal devices as desired. Would that I had been allowed to tread that path - plastic was considered undesirable by my KH wife. So for those in this position, the path is rougher and this thread is of value. I think you can still get close to accurate measurements using cheap metal devices ( so long as they are safe to try) by taking careful note of where and by how much the fit is wrong. OK, so you might not then have a fistful of spacers, etc, to see if you can adjust accordingly, but other ways are possible; a cheap replacement chrome base ring off auction, or a curtain ring; bending your cheap device to alter the gap,etc. I've enjoyed my time spent "getting it horribly wrong" and am sure my custom fit steelheart will taste all the sweeter for it (OK I do plan to wear it also:) ) I think the advice on this forum along with patience and a shed load of measuring will have steered me right. We'll know in a few weeks.

I hear what you are saying about the plastic. I didn't realize until after I started wearing my JB how much my wife "put up" with the CB6000s I wore. One time I needed to send my JB back to MM for a modification and I asked her if she wanted me in my old CB6000s and she replied "No way are you putting that back on. You'll just have to be on the honor system till it gets back." I will say that the CB devices did help me to acclimate my body to a CD. This made the transition to a custom metal CD easier.
