A Detailed Look at the Holy Trainer Nub After Seven Months of Wear

I’ve worn the Holy Trainer Nub for roughly seven months, so I reckon it’s time to share my thoughts. Let me start with some background. I got into chastity belts ages ago, before cages became common. Full-size models (from Tollyboy, Goethals, and Neosteel) aren’t great for long-term use, especially if you work around lots of people. Plus, my partners back then weren’t keen on the play; they put up with them but didn’t care much. About eight years ago, things shifted when I met my current partner. She enjoys sex but isn’t a fan of PIV, so she took quickly to chastity. As cages started gaining popularity, we tried several (CB 6000, Steelworxx, some Chinese imitations) before settling on the standard Holytrainer for 24/7 wear over two years. It wasn’t perfectly comfortable or secure, but it worked. The short HT didn’t suit me because of frequent ball slip-outs. Key takeaway: I need an ergonomic base ring; round ones just don’t cut it. This May, I switched to the Nub, and it’s been excellent for me. While everyone is different, I find the Nub nearly as secure as a cage gets without piercings (I can’t pull it out or put it back in easily, even in the shower). It’s also the most comfortable device I’ve worn, thanks to its compact size—smaller is better—and low weight compared to stainless steel. No ball slip-outs so far (the gap between cage and base ring is tiny with the smallest ring), and only one rash forced me out for three days after 11 consecutive days without a wash-out. That was perhaps a bit too much. I wear it 24/7 on weekdays now. On weekends, my partner lets me out for 10-15 minutes to shave and shower, which is the only time I’m cage-free in an average month—about an hour total off. Many worry about hygiene with weekly wear, but I follow a strict cleaning routine using Thumper’s water bottle method. I squeeze water into the cage daily and apply silicone to the penis with cotton buds (also helpful for aligning the slit). A few drops of silicone around the base ring twice a day prevent sore spots. Plastic/resin adheres more than steel, so there is some smell when my partner lets me out on weekends, but it’s manageable. Antibacterial soap clears it up quickly, and since the odor seems trapped inside the tube, others don’t notice it while I’m wearing it. Everyday activities are fine with it. Summer mountain hikes were easy. It works for cycling due to its small size, swimming, and under tight clothing. Standing urination is a huge plus in daily life, though I carry tissues for the last drops. At home, I sit down as usual. Regarding Chinese Nub knock-offs: The plastic ones are often poor quality. One I tried lost shape within hours of warming up, and removing it was painful because the lock jammed in the warped cage. Stainless steel versions vary more but tend to be too heavy—over five times the weight of the original. Still, we like their look. If you want a small device, I wholeheartedly recommend the original Holytrainer Nub. We even bought a second one as backup; having spares is wise with plastic cages…:mrgreen:

I’ve been in a genuine nub for about eight months now and am waiting for a knock-off stainless steel version that should be sturdier. I absolutely love the device BUT—and it’s a significant but—the first tube lasted only three months before splitting below and from the pee hole. HT replaced it, but this one also lasted just three months, and they refused another replacement. They’re quite pricey for cast “resin” pieces that last such short times. By the way, MsM removes the cage and cleans her cock three times a week during my bath time: she takes off the cage, wipes his cock with a flannel while I brush the cage and ring, then relocks it. So, love the device but hate its design flaw (it’s definitely there—a casting line at that stress point shouldn’t be!). We’re trying a stainless steel knock-off next. If it turns out too heavy, back to an open S/S cage we go.
