Chastity device reviews discussion

I got pierced last January and received the eVotion device roughly three months later, spending that time trying to make it suit me. Here is my review of how things have gone.

Summary: The design and support are solid, but it ultimately didn’t work for me because the pin irritated my piercing. I experimented with various shape adjustments and am now fairly confident the material is the culprit. See below for the details of this process. I also noticed a urine smell developing on the device. Cleaning it helped resolve this; perhaps urine was getting trapped in the hinge, or maybe I just had to get close enough to notice it while wearing it off. The support team was helpful, with Andy typically responding quickly. If the cage doesn’t fit correctly, they will re-print the bottom piece for $40 and offer a 30% discount on a full cage reprint. Andy mentioned that many customers opt for re-prints. This raises the total cost to between $325 and $400, depending on your options. Design: I am very impressed with the design; it is hard to think of much room for improvement. The flexibility offered by 3D printing is excellent. As printers improve and costs drop, I believe this will become the standard method for making devices like chastity cages in the future. The hinge operates smoothly and feels sturdy. The straps fit well and hold the two halves together as intended. It was clever engineering to allow the straps to attach in both directions. The padlock fits snugly without rattling. I also purchased the snap-lock strap; although I haven’t used it much, it looks effective at reducing weight and bulk. There are two main design issues. First, the hinge has cavities that can trap urine because of its position. Second, the way the straps attach to the hinge makes it easy for them to pinch your skin tightly as you close them, which is quite painful. I had to be careful to keep my skin clear during closure. This might make it tricky for a Keyholder (KH) to put the cage on someone else. These are acceptable compromises for other good features. Material: I believe nylon irritated my piercing. I’m not entirely certain of this, but after eliminating other potential causes, irritation persisted when time and patience ran out. More details follow below. It would be helpful if they sold a curve barbell made from the same nylon material so customers could test compatibility with their piercings independently of the cage. If I could confirm that it is worth further adjustment. They should also consider offering a metal pin option. Fitting: Because the design must accommodate a PA pin in the correct spot AND have a ridge behind the glans, precise fitting is crucial. They have improved their measurement instructions but still need better ways to ensure dimensions are accurate. Reprints are likely common because measuring floppy, variable tissue is difficult. I did my best yet ended up with the ridge position slightly off. If I could fix the pin issue, I would order a reprint. Andy suggested choosing a diameter that just touches your flaccid penis. The size was right; it touches enough to hold place most of the time. However, when I drop my pants to pee, there is about two millimeters of space as the device dangles. Distraction or weight may allow my penis to shrink slightly out of contact. Next time, I would order one that fits a bit tighter. Andy also recommended going shorter for comfort. Following this advice, enough shaft remains uncovered when erect that masturbation might be possible. However, I think I should have ordered longer as well. My Process: Recognizing fitting was key, I spent considerable effort on it. I even took photos of my penile profile, imported them into a drawing program, scaled them to size, and measured directly from the images. I received my device about 90 days post-piercing. While fairly healed, 90 days is relatively short. Upon putting it on, I noticed my glans sliding easily past the ridge. Worried the device was positioned too far forward, I pulled skin into it so the glans sat securely on the ridge. Within a couple of hours, irritation set in at the piercing site, prompting me to remove it. Over the next few days, taking it on and off repeatedly worsened the irritation. Initially, the pin was wax-covered and smooth. After several cleanings, the coating wore off, leaving a slightly rough texture. Suspecting the pin might be pulling or pushing against the piercing, I took more measurements. Wearing just the bottom piece in a neutral position, I measured from the pin tip to the back of the glans. Then, with the device assembled, I measured from the pin tip to the ridge on the glans. This revealed the ridge was about 5mm too far forward. Using a file, I removed as much material as possible from that section and applied Sugru to create a new ridge further back. At this point, I was fairly certain the pin moved neutrally in front of and behind the piercing, yet irritation continued. Was the pin surface too rough? I ordered fine grit wet-dry sandpaper (up to 3200 grit) along with polishing paste and smoothed the pin down. After a week, I tried it again but still experienced irritation. Then I noticed a band on the device pressing into the side of my glans. This band should ideally run behind the glans but was positioned too far forward. Having adjusted the pin’s position and polished its surface without improvement, I concluded these were not the issues; instead, lateral pressure seemed to be the problem. So, I sanded down material from the sides until there was enough room for my glans to sit comfortably. Wearing it still caused pain because recent adjustments had irritated my piercing. Traveling gave me a month of relief. Upon returning, my piercing looked good. I tried the device again: first 2 hours, then 4, and finally for short periods. Irritation began each time. With another lock device (the Lori) arriving in a week or two, I didn’t want to aggravate my piercing further. So, I am done fiddling with the eVotion for now. Why did it fail? I was quite confident the pin position was neutral, so I do not consider that a primary reason:

1. Nylon does not suit me.
2. The pin shape is incorrect for me.
3. My piercing may still be healing enough to cause issues. #1 could be tested with a nylon barbell. #2: The eVotion pin has a sharp bend, which I think sits too low for my anatomy, pressing on the inner front edge of the piercing. They offer reshaping of the lower part for $40, which might be my next test. #3: It is healed, but factually this is the only device I have tried, so I lack evidence that a PA chastity device will work long-term. Once successful with the Lori tube, I will confirm sufficient healing. That brings us to where I stand with the eVotion. I would love to hear from others who own one. Does it work for you?

Hi Thanks for typing all that. It is a very smart looking device no doubt about that. My thoughts . You could be right about the material so try a wrist band .Not an absolutely perfect test but enough sweat might be right ish Ph. All the angles are wrong on the pin for you especially scrunched up in your underwear. Finish not as smooth as you think. Stainless is electro polish . The current goes for the high spots like a lightning conductor. So polished down to molecular size bumps effectively. 90 days and how long since last stretch to how big .? My guess you are still not fully healed . General pushing and pulling while you are going about your day. Lot of stress on what is probably quite a small bit of skin. That would happily alow or even fascilatate migration of the piercing thus being very tender. Never been convinced about pa suported devices all the strain on the piercing. Xx Wendy
