Chastity device discussions and reviews discussion

**Celebrating One Year of the Cherry Keeper ** It has been exactly a year since I officially announced the Cherry Keeper cage and began offering it via Shapeways. I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has backed me up, offered feedback, and spread the word about my work. The journey has been quite an adventure; I didn’t expect to take this path, but it certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone (sometimes significantly!). I have walked that road, and I am still standing.

To be honest, some days are truly tough. This venture isn’t a full-time occupation, nor does it fully replace my main income source, which restricts how much time I can dedicate to projects for our kinky community! I juggle email support, design improvements, “custom” rings, custom-sized cages, inventory management, and social media updates. The positive messages from satisfied customers who appreciate the designs and are thrilled that they found a solution that works for them help keep the gloom at bay. If I didn’t see concrete evidence that I am helping people enjoy their Chastity experiences more positively, I probably would have given up.

Aside from my friends and clients, I must also praise Shapeways, who has done an excellent job delivering products promptly and resolving occasional customer support issues. I realize that even if I owned all the necessary machinery, I wouldn’t have had enough time to fulfill orders myself - So, for now at least, I will leave the printing to the professionals. I considered having orders shipped to me for final finishing before sending them on to customers, but the extra time and cost made it less viable in the long run.

So, to give everyone a sense of how many Cherry Keepers have been produced over the last year, I ran my Shapeways sales report today and totaled the figures. I was genuinely humbled; you could have knocked me for six when I saw the quantities and total revenue. When dealing with things on a daily basis, it’s easy to focus only on what matters right then and lose sight of the bigger picture.

In one year: 1,402 Cages; 1,521 Rings, 102 Add-Ons; 173 Misc pieces (lockers, safes, etc); 31 pieces of jewellery (keys and pendants); 79 sets of Permalockers (you kinky boys and girls!), and the Cherry on top - Unlimited quantities of dick pics!

That’s over 3,200 different 3D printed chastity related pieces in 365 days! So, am I wealthy? Not even close! The majority of the money my customers spent went toward printing costs paid to Shapeways. I might actually earn more working full-time at McDonalds, but for part-time work, it has been good.

With that said, I would like some input from the community - I want to make an even greater impact. In my humble opinion, two of the biggest challenges we face today are the wealth gap in the United States (and undoubtedly other countries), and the struggle for equal rights among LGBTQ individuals. I’d love to hear suggestions for good causes that could benefit from periodic donations, helping turn “kinky money” into contributions for worthy causes. If there’s an organization that has positively impacted your lives or mine as customers, please share it.

I look forward to another year here, wiser and more experienced, always interested in how I can improve.

Love, JosieLynn

That was a great read! Thank you for including all of those stats. It was very enlightening and enjoyable reading about the growth of your venture. I love my cherry keeper and can't wait to see what is next for your designs. I'm personally excited for the possibility of a prince albert integration!
