Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

Do any of you have tips regarding oils and creams? I’m dealing with some minor irritation spots from my new Birdlocked. It’s not a major issue, but I’d like to know if there are effective ways to maintain smooth operation and lessen the discomfort? Overall it feels good; I only use water for lubrication when inserting it. This method leaves no residue and isn’t overly slippery when handling your balls to guide them through during insertion. My main concern is ensuring whatever product I choose won’t harm the device. Since it’s made of medical-grade silicone rubber, I assume most standard skincare items are safe, but any input would be welcome.

Also, do many of you struggle with jock itch? I’ve had a mild case constantly and usually just get on with it. Recently, though, I’ve been diligent about applying cream daily to prevent anything worsening under the device. What’s your approach? I’m currently using Lamasil, which has served me well historically and seems to be working effectively at present. Is this condition common among you all, and how do you manage it?

Regarding hygiene, I use a 50 ml syringe to flush water inside repeatedly during my twice-daily showers. It works adequately, though perhaps it’s on the verge of being excessive (LOL). However, it feels soothing and doesn’t trigger erections too frequently. So now instead of rushing home from work to masturbate, I rush home to shower. Well, cleanliness is key.

Regards.
