Reddit reviews The Keep Chastity Cage (Pink) The Venetian Merchant

A good option to try initially is a knockoff Holy Trainer. I used one of these for a while and it worked quite well.

It's plastic and fairly closed design which is fairly good for comfort but will need to come off at least weekly for hygiene.

They usually come with 4 or 5 rings in different sizes so you can try and see which size works for you. This will come in handy if you want to go for a custom cage later as you'll have a better idea of the measurements that work.

And it's cheap, so if it doesn't work out, you haven't lost much.

Another important aspect is solid rings vs rings with hinges or multiple pieces. Solid rings are better for comfort and long term wearability. You have to put one ball through, then the other, then your penis, and it can take some practice. On the other hand, hinged or multi-part rings can be easier and quicker to get in and out of, but you might get pinched as there are places where your skin can get wedged into.

Speaking of getting into the cage, once the ring is on you, a really good way is the "stocking method" - you take a nylon stocking and put the closed toe end through the cage so you can pull it through the hole, then put your penis in the open end of the stocking and pull the stocking through as you push your penis into the cage. This helps pull you into the cage as far and completely as possible, minimizing friction and preventing skin from bunching up at the neck of the cage.

For sizing, you want the ring to have enough room to get a finger tip under it when it's on, not really more or less than that.

For the cage, I like as little room to grow as possible. Nice and snug around the shaft and nice and short, close to a perfect fit to the completely flaccid penis with as little room to grow as possible. Of course with a nice small cage comes a nice little humiliation angle as well.

And once it's all on, it's really useful to apply a little lube around the ring, especially at the bottom (most common place for "ring burn")

Good luck with the recovery.

I got my HTv2 knockoff on Amazon for less than $30. It's very comfortable. The lock failed pretty quickly, but I got a good replacement lock on eBay.

Hi, I'm day 4 and I'm having a different ball pain. My device came with an imperfection and had a sharp spot. I tried filing it down but now even though it's smooth to my fingertip it's still too rough for my skin for long term wear. I'm going to go the rest of the night to heal, but how can I smooth it out?

This is the cage I have It doesn't have a gap

This one. I also have a Cb6000 and Cb6000s but they always ripped up my panties when I wore them. So I bought this one a few months ago but never got around to wearing it. Just knew I'd want to a to at some point.

Holy trainer looks like this

The "Key" things about the holy trainer, are:

• the shape of the ring, meant for comfort and less pulling on the testicles.
  
  
• The material used, some sort of resin that expands and forms to your body as it heats up.
  
  
• that it doesn't use a padlock, and as such reduces bulk and discomfort should the padlock fumble around and poke you (One of the things I hated about my old cages)

This was the one I got.

As someone who's purchased the name-brand and now this one, I can't tell much of a difference so far. Maybe the shape is a little off, and who knows how long it will actually last, but for $20 I think this would be a fine first to get.
