Difficulties with wearing a device? discussion

I was wondering if the screw located in the vice ring and the bit that attaches to it could both bend, potentially having screws on the underside that sandwich my testicles together.

Plus, since the ring doesn’t fit quite right (for the largest size I can’t go any bigger:() and it’s digging into my scrotum skin, within a few days I had to use a hacksaw to remove the lock (I have other options available) so I could actually sleep without constant pain. This is the third device I’ve attempted, and with nearly £300 spent, it feels like all that money has gone down the drain:(.

Do you have any suggestions on what I can do? Has anyone else dealt with this? I really want to feel the frustration and control, but it’s hard when I can’t bloody sleep with the device on! Here is a picture of it (click to enlarge; you’ll see little metal screws on either side of the balls—that’s what I mean. Message me if you’d like to chat about it. The Vice Male Chastity Mini

Regarding my Holy Trainer issue: I bought a cheaper version, but the ring rubs excessively, causing significant pain within just under a day. It’s so bad I need to take it off—I’m applying cream, though not anything specialized—and while you can kind of pull it off, I’ve heard many devices have this problem with enough effort.

It’s quite sad that I’ve spent so much and feel like I wasted it, with the unused devices sitting in a box somewhere. Any recommendations? Please help! I suppose I should have sought proper advice before ordering, but I did try consulting some people…
