Good afternoon everyone, I was hoping for some help or guidance. The nights are tough for me. It’s not about getting erections (ED is helping with that) and it’s not chafing from rubbing either. It feels like a general discomfort, plus this pinching sensation near the top of the shaft where the ring meets the cage. I’ve always slept on my stomach, even back in the day. Sleeping on my back just doesn’t work for me. So, any tips to fix this? Thanks ahead of time,
If you're sleeping on your tummy, try pushing the whole bundle down between your legs so the ring and cage don't crush everything. Using a good moisturizer or essential oil really helps stop pinching and chafing. My other thought: if your genital hair isn't kept short enough, shave it more thoroughly. Otherwise, just keep going at it—it's amazing how quickly you get used to the setup.
Thanks Steve. I'll definitely give that a shot.
Most standard cages have quite a bit of play where the parts lock together. I faced this same problem before. That small amount of movement is enough to pinch up skin at the junction between the cage and base ring. Custom devices cost more but handle this much better. With certain models, you can add rubber O-rings (or pieces thereof) to tighten the connection and reduce wiggling.
I tweaked a cage on my own. There was too much space for movement. So I swapped the internal lock out for one that secures better. I tightened the lock opening so it no longer shifts around. Then I inserted rubber caps into the pin holes, making sure the pins stay snug. I also had another cage with a clicking mechanism narrowed slightly, so it fits my flaccid penis more closely now. Both are super comfortable and feel like part of me.
Hi all, Thanks for the tips everyone. Last night I made it through without issue and today has been great too—I've hit 24 hours so far. I’ve been applying moisturizer to my scrotum and around the ring area every time, especially right before bed, and it seems to be doing the trick:)
I apply baby oil first thing in the morning after showering but before getting into bed. It works really well for me. Others on these forums swear by different products too. Just experiment with a few until you find your perfect match.
