Another Look at the Contender Chastity Device Experience

I received my Contender last Wednesday and have been wearing it non-stop ever since. This marks the sixth night, and things have gone perfectly. My partner adores how it looks and feels; I appreciate its comfort and light weight. The fit is excellent as well. There’s a slight downward slide on my shaft along with some minor tilting, but neither causes pain. My Lady checks in during the day to adjust if necessary, which she enjoys. I lead an active life—climbing ladders, crawling across roofs, driving golf carts, and riding bicycles—and it stays put without issue.

Delivery took five days after ordering (even over a holiday weekend), and the device looks pristine. The welds are clean, it arrived spotless, and it’s incredibly smooth. It feels so light and fits so well that I often forget it’s there. My testicles remain securely trapped, and erections stay suppressed effectively. My Lady discovered she can slide a sounds toy through the cage opening into my penis, which delights her greatly. She has no intention of removing it since she enjoys playing with me while wearing it. Using the sounds device, a vibrator, and prostate massage keeps both of us very satisfied. I haven’t achieved an orgasm yet because milked or ruined orgasms aren’t permitted right now, so unfortunately, I can’t describe what that feels like with this setup.

This was intended to be our first piece of equipment, but we already knew steel and a custom fit were priorities. After reading reviews, the Contender seemed ideal. However, I approached ordering differently than most, which likely contributed to getting such a good result. Many people complain about fitting issues, needing adjustments, or struggling with accurate measurements. To prepare, I visited a hardware store and bought two steel rings: one 2” and another 1-1/2”. After wearing them for a bit, I found the 2” was too loose while the smaller one worked but felt quite tight. This told me my ideal size lies between those two.

Next, I browsed DHgate’s affordable options and decided to order multiple devices in various sizes and shapes. I purchased base rings ranging from 38mm to 44mm (1-1/2” to 1-7/8”) with gaps of 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2”. Length variation wasn’t a major concern since the options are limited, but I ordered both short and long versions—six in total for just $84. This was significantly cheaper than what most people spend trying different products to find their fit. That said, those cheap devices can be flawed; some had rust, poor welds, rough edges, and discomfort. But after three weeks of trial and error—adjusting, bending, swapping parts, and wearing—I pinpointed my perfect measurements. I measured carefully rather than relying on stated sizes: a 1-5/8” base ring, a 3/8” gap, a cage width of 1-1/4”, and a length of 1-1/2”. Then I ordered the Contender from Male Chastity. Five days later it arrived, I’ve worn it continuously for six days now, and I have zero complaints.

I wouldn’t necessarily claim my measuring method is superior to others’, but I highly recommend the Contender as an excellent device worth every penny.

I’ve ordered three Chinese metal devices along with several rings. Interestingly, I arrived at nearly the same measurements as you. Typical cage diameters for these are 1-1/8" or 1-3/8". Since I fall between them, 1-1/4" seems to be my correct size. Ring diameters of 1-3/4" and larger are too big, while the 1-1/2" feels quite tight. I would lean toward a 1-5/8" ring for slightly more room. Most sources suggest a gap of 3/8", which matches what works best on my top Chinese fits. Converting length from a standard Chinese device to a custom one is the trickiest part, especially considering cage curvature and whether you need two or three rings. I notice many used custom devices listed as being over 2 inches are actually noted as too large. Your 1-1/2" length choice sounds appropriate. It’s surprising that manufacturers haven’t refined this yet; their devices tend to be either excessively big or small. I haven't ordered a custom piece myself, but it’s interesting to see you’ve found the numbers I did.

The sizing discussion is fascinating! I’m skeptical of men who claim they need 5" cages and 2-1/2" base rings. The goal should be restriction rather than giving the device room to expand. As a grower, keeping it short feels natural to me. Erections are less painful when the device prevents expansion from starting altogether. I feel tension or tightness during arousal, but no actual pain.
