Re:

Searching this board doesn’t bring up much info on them. We bought our unit from here—has anyone else shopped at their store, and what did you pick? Our choice was… “SILICONE SISSY MALE CHASTITY DEVICE 2.76 INCHES AND 3.74 INCHES LONG” … ity-device It seems good so far, though we might swap in a metal version down the road.

I don't recall visiting that shop before. Strange; the spelling and tone gave me a UK vibe, yet they claim to be American. They appear to carry similar goods as those found on dhgate in China, just for a bit more cash...possibly worth it if you want quicker delivery and a local contact to complain to about any issues.

I think it was the undeliverable package and was between sizes so I ordered the small and medium to see which one fit better. I received two devices, one longer than the other with identical base rings and locks but the heads were different. I liked the head of the medium but the small fit better. The price was right at $30 each so I didn’t feel bad about getting two. I then decided to try a different model with the hopes that the cage would work with the base ring of the first two that I ordered. Again the price wasn’t bad and I had a 33% off coupon. Again I ordered two devices, a small and a medium and that was on March 17th. It is now May 25th and I still don’t have the devices. I’ve emailed them twice and they’ve responded both saying that the delay was because they were coming from China and COVID has created some delays. I’ve thought about doing a chargeback and may end up filing one if I end up at the three month mark with no package. > > I wore the first device pretty consistently for almost 2 1/2 months with no issues.

I thought they were based out of San Francisco and my first order came from there but my second order is clearly coming from China, if it ever actually makes it. I got the first two devices directly from them and they arrived promptly. It seems the package was marked undeliverable initially, and since I was right between sizes, I ordered both small and medium to test which fit better. The result: one device was longer than the other; while the base rings and locks were identical, the heads differed. I preferred the head on the medium-sized unit, but the smaller one actually fit my body better more comfortably. At $30 apiece, the price was fair enough that buying two didn't sting. Later, I wanted to test a different model, hoping its cage would pair well with the base rings of those first two purchases. The pricing held up, and I used a 33% off coupon. Once more, I ordered a small and a medium on March 17th. Fast forward to May 25th, and they still haven't arrived. I've emailed them twice; both times the response was that shipments are coming from China and COVID has caused bottlenecks. I'm considering a chargeback if three months pass without delivery. I wore that first device almost constantly for about two and a half months with no problems, though it could have been more comfortable. Recently, I got my hands on a Mature Metal Jailbird, which feels significantly cozier than the Lock The Cock units. My initial experience was positive because it let me experiment to find a custom fit, but the second round has been underwhelming. I assumed they were headquartered in San Francisco since the first order originated there, yet the latest shipment is clearly leaving from China—assuming it ever shows up.

Since then I ordered some things from Oxy shop and they’ve been stuck in limbo since March. The last day anything traceable happened with my cock cage was April 13! So I’m thinking it’s the same for any company that is sourcing from China. My interaction with Lock the Cock was quite enjoyable. Despite ordering during what seemed like an undeliverable package period, I got mine within two weeks—this being before COVID hit hard. Since then, my orders to Oxy shop have been stuck in limbo since March. The last time there was any traceable movement on my cock cage was April 13th! This makes me think it's a broader issue for any company sourcing their goods from China.

The key point regarding lockthecock is their pricing structure. Take, for instance, their wolf-head chastity tube listed at $170, or $85 during a sale ( Meanwhile, [ ... onstrosity], which retails for around $23 from various sellers on DHGate ( Because they ship directly from China, you are essentially paying a premium to) access all those devices through one dedicated site rather than navigating the DHGate search engine yourself and b) using a local payment processor instead of dealing with DHGate directly. I accept there is a markup for these conveniences. However, I remain unconvinced that it justifies prices being four to eight times higher.
