Chastity device discussions and reviews discussion

Hi everyone… I’m newer to the chastity experience, but an old hand at this fantasy. I’ve been following forums and blogs for several months or years, but have only just made my first real attempt, so I need some help from you who have experience with this kinky fetish.

My partner isn’t a “big guy.” When fully erect, it measures about 12cm (4.72 inches, I think—I’m Portuguese), though the flaccid size varies quite a bit. It ranges from around 3.2cm (1.25 inches +/-) down to almost 1.5cm (0.60 inches) or less. The diameter changes too, depending on whether he is soft.

I always love plastic cages and am not a fan of piercing or similar procedures, but I have no problem trying steel ones. My wife just likes seeing the “bird” inside the cage, which is why I prefer plastic.

With that in mind, for my request, I purchased an HT device (an eBay option with 4 rings for first-time users). The small one, measuring only 4.8cm in length, seems like it could be perfect for me as it appears to be the smallest available in plastic on the market. It arrived and I put it on immediately.

The smallest ring at 36mm was good, and I can tolerate it well.

I know there’s no such thing as a 100% secure cage, but upon examining mine closely, I found several details:

1º - The ring fits perfectly and traps the testicles completely (though they can still slip). Even if the penis slips out, the testicles stay in place because the ring isn’t too tight.

2º - When he is normally flaccid, around 2.5cm-3.0cm, it’s really hard for him to slip his penis back into the cage because the gap at the rear isn’t enough to allow entry while keeping everything outside. This was great because I can keep myself locked up.

3º - When he becomes even more flaccid and shrinks a bit more, I find that I can slip my penis out from behind again.

So I’ve tried some options to understand these points better. I started experimenting to see what could be improved. I removed the cage ring and placed a rope around the base of his testicles and penis, tying it securely but not too tightly. I found it really difficult for him to push his penis under this rope, leading me to think that the plastic ring alone might not be secure enough.

So I looked again at other options on the market suitable for my “dimensions” and considered the CB6000S. It is slightly larger than the HT, but my focus is on how the ring works.

With Holytrainer devices, the cage slips under the ring to connect and lock in place. However, this method seems to create a gap because it tends to push the ring upward, creating space for the penis to be removed.

In contrast, with the CB6000S, as I understand it, the ring stays at the base of the testicles while the cage locks forward. This means the cage does not pass under the ring, so no gap forms at the base of the penis because the bottom edge of the ring can be tight enough around just the base of the testicles.

In a similar vein, I looked into birdlock options which feature a large base ring and have no direct connections between the ring and the penis itself.

So I ask for some help from those who share this experience to understand if I am wrong and how this can be improved. Can a cage like the CB model be more secure because of its locking mechanism?

I also conducted another experiment where I placed a rope around his waist, passing it through the ring and pushing it against my body. This allowed me to maintain pressure from the cage against him and remove any gaps, eliminating chances for removal. But that was just with a simple rope! Any ideas or options or even personal experiences along these lines?
