Help with My Cage Fit - Too Big or Wrong Size?

Hi there! I’ve just started my journey into chastity and bought my first cage from a nearby store. Specifically, it’s a “Blue line” brand silicone cage with a 2-inch length. It secures around the base of my package using a thick silicone ring that covers about an inch at the root of my penis. (In my view, it was a bit pricey at $90—not sure if that’s typical—but I could afford it so it didn’t bother me) Here is my problem: The cage feels both too large and too small for me simultaneously. I believe this comes down to my dimensions (which I’ll explain later). Basically—when soft, there is excessive space, roughly an inch of clearance at the tip. This seems odd because it’s labeled as a 2” cage while I am about 3” soft. It doesn’t feel tight enough, and it makes urinating difficult because I don’t align well with the opening. When erect, however, the cage fails to stop erections properly. My erection just pushes against the sides of the cage and slides away from its connection point, moving down into my scrotum and squeezing my testicles uncomfortably. So functionally, it doesn’t really block an erection at all. Perhaps slightly, because while hard I am a bit wider than what the cage allows, and it is tight enough (when erect) to reduce length by maybe .5 inches or so, but the erection itself still happens. I remain contained inside, yet essentially maintain my full length. My measurements: I am definitely a “grower.” The difference between soft and hard states seems quite dramatic for me. Softly, I measure just under 3 inches (sometimes closer to 2” with certain shrinkage), and nearly 6 inches when erect (around 5.8). Circumference is roughly 3.5 or 4? I forgot and can’t check right now, but I don’t think circumference is the main culprit here either. Also worth noting: it’s quite difficult for me to get an erection without stimulation at this stage. So when one does occur, I want a tight, comfortable fit rather than just having my erection trapped loosely lol. And since I’m soft most of the time, I still prefer a snug feel. So based on these numbers, I expected a 2-inch cage to be quite snug and comfortable, but it doesn’t seem right for me. Is there any way to fix this? Is the cage simply ill-fitting, or is it my specific size profile that will cause issues with other cages too? Does this happen often with silicone cages in general? I do like how soft silicone feels—it’s comfortable—but I want a tighter fit that stops full erections. Should I just buy a different cage? If yes, any suggestions for models that suit my dimensions and meet the criteria of being snug while preventing complete erection? Looking forward to your responses, thanks!

Your primary problem is that the cage is far too large. Search around and read through all the previous posts; there’s plenty of info here explaining how your device is oversized and how to actually correct the sizing. The goal is constant contact all around so an erection simply cannot initiate properly. Seriously, take some time to really read what others have written here, then ask any questions you may still have. MsM’s ld

I completely agree with what slave d said. It is too big. I would also suggest that the ring might be too large as well. The entire setup shouldn’t slide forward when you get aroused, exactly as you described. If the ring were smaller, it wouldn't do that. Much of your trouble sounds like my own early experiences. I recall reading a phrase here: "smaller is better." While that’s somewhat broad, I found it to be true for me. The other advice I received was to check out 3D Cobra styles, particularly the Nano and Nub versions. My keyholder picked one out for me. She chose the Nub model where the cage fits just tightly enough around the head of the penis, requiring a bit of squishing to put on. The set we ordered came with four rings so we could test them. I now wear the smallest of those four. Many people (myself included) have written extensively about sizing here. Like slave d, I suggest reading and asking questions repeatedly. There is good advice available.

Here are my two cents. 1) As you’ve been told already, read, read, and keep reading. This is actually my first time participating in any online forum of any kind. This community is excellent. 2) Smaller is better! We dabbled with chastity for fun at first, then took it more seriously later. I didn’t discover this place until we were already well into our journey. Because of that timing, I ended up with a truckload of oversized cages that could be sold as scrap metal. 3) Amazon isn't bad for learning about sizes, especially if you're watching your budget. Get something that includes multiple ring sizes; you will size down over time. For what it’s worth, I am also a grower. Drastically so. My length goes from 2" to 8". No exaggeration here. It can be quite troublesome sometimes. Mrs. Groove has actually complained before and made me finish on my own as a result. Morning wood in a cage can be brutal for me. I’ve tried smaller rings, but there is a limit where they become too tight. So ring sizing required lots of experimentation for me. Take your time to get it right. Ultimately, the nub has been best. It’s about an inch long, which is half my soft length. I also have a stubby nub that works well too. If given the choice, I’ll never go longer than that.

Thank you all so much for your input. I will definitely be reading through this site and using it as a resource moving forward. I suppose I was looking for more personalized advice, since the site holds so much knowledge that diving in felt slightly daunting when I’m eager to find a quick solution. Regardless, I’ll take the time to do my due diligence anyway. In fact, I’ve already looked at some basic research into the main 'getting started' threads. However, I still have a couple of follow-up questions/concerns if anyone is willing: 1) The cage is definitely too big. But it’s listed as 2", which matches the length of some other "snug" cages that should theoretically fit my size well. So, is its oversized feel due to branding issues (meaning it's not actually a true 2")? Or is this result of the silicone material itself? I plan to move down in size anyway to something around 1", but I just want clarification: is this inaccurate advertising or a characteristic of the silicone design? 2) The base ring also seems like a major issue with this specific cage, but I should note that I’m using the smallest ring provided in the set. It’s already very tight around me (which I know is somewhat the point), yet it still doesn't prevent erection fully. So it's hard to imagine how much tighter it can get without restricting blood flow or something similar. If the cage were as tight as it ideally should be, wouldn’t an erection be prevented entirely, removing that extra pressure from my erect state? So how do I determine when the ring is tight enough to prevent erections while still allowing adequate blood flow?

Check out shocking truth abot cage length I am almost always in the small size now. 1.5" with ring. Take *@KnownAsHerbert* advice and get a cobra nano. Very cheap, very effective, comfortable. Tiny is likely your only path forward I think. Good luck.

> preventing erection? I read comments here all the time about stopping erections. The biological reality is that you can’t fully prevent them. The penis extends back nearly to the anus. Your blood supply starts there, so an erecting process runs from your anus up to the head. All a cage does is stop the final bit of length from engorging, keeping the erection within the abdominal cavity. Not trying to be cynical here, but as long as you are healthy, you cannot stop an erection entirely. Perhaps I am misinterpreting your concern; it seems like you might be looking for arousal without blood flow? Please correct me if that’s not right. Recall your first uncontrollable erection. My earliest memory is fifth grade English class. A girl whose name I barely remember started developing breasts. I felt my jeans tighten. It was enjoyable, but I couldn't control it. Fortunately, it subsided before the bell rang. The fear of uncontrolled erections haunted me for years. Now I talk about restraining them. What a strange turn of events.:lol:

A girl that I don’t even remember her name started growing boobies. I felt my jeans tighten. I really enjoyed it but couldn't figure out how to control it. **Good thing it subsided before class change.** The fear of uncontrollable erections haunted me for years. Ah, the memories...of leaving classes with books casually held in front the zipper. Every guy with his books in front of his crotch was hiding something. Somehow, I always managed to get sat next to the prettiest girl in class. In 3rd grade, I had a crush on our fourth-grade teacher- 'Miss Emerson'. When 3rd grade ended, I spent that Summer dreaming of joining her class in Fall; she was a blonde, blue-eyed goddess and I intended to marry her. Then came the crushing disappointment when I arrived at her classroom: the name on the blackboard said "**Mrs.** ______________" All my hopes were destroyed; she had married over the Summer.

> Mrs. ______________" Hahaha! In 1975 I was in the 5th grade and she was tall, wore high heels and mini skirts with big hoop earrings, her hair piled up on top of her head. Her husband was the h.s. Football coach. He was meaner than the devil himself. I never stopped admiring her. The following year he taught my math class one semester. I failed math that year. I wonder if he knew about my secret admiration.:lol:

> Tongue+groove wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 12:20 pm > > preventing erection? Now I'd have to respectfully disagree. There is a difference between being Hard and being Erect. I think you mean "can't not get Hard"? Erect means long and tall. A tower block represents an erection; things getting bigger are described as being erected. When I wear the flat cage, I do get **Hard** exactly as you describe, located in my abdomen. But I don’t become fully errected. Preventing full erection is key when evaluating a good cage.

> There's a difference between Hard and Erect. Very well defined sir. I respectfully accept your disagreement as a much better explanation. You obviously have been at this longer than myself. And yes, I have experienced that full abdominal effect. Your alien description from a past post was quite accurate.

Oh, it was my 9th grade English teacher, Miss A______, fresh out of college, maybe 22 years old. She wore the mini-skirts and a button blouse that was a size or two too small, with the first three buttons undone. She would sit on the corner of her desk with one leg crossed over the other. I still have a vivid picture of her in my head. I flunked English that year...I doubt any guy in that class passed. I dreamed of her keeping me after school for some 'extra help'. Never heard of teachers doing students back then like you do now...maybe the guys were smarter back then and knew how to keep quiet about it? I hoped, but to no avail...
