Getting the Sizing Right
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2018 11:32 am
My wife was at first emphatically turned off by the looks of metal cages but she agreed to look at them more when I talked to her about many of the comments I had read. Other than the appearance, she was concerned about the weight and its effect on me being able to wear one for long periods. I told her that many men find them more comfortable and the weight of a good one is only slightly more than a quality plastic cage such as the CB-6000s. The other plus I told her about was sanitation. The open cage styles, I explained, would allow me to keep clean better without the need for her to frequently unlock me.
What she didn't like were devices that included a tube or were otherwise enclosed. I told her about the MM Jail Bird. The idea that it was produced wholly in the US and custom made to fit me convinced her to check it out. She liked what she read and saw but did say she preferred the look with an extra ring added.
We want to stay away from the cylinder type locks in favor of padlocks for 2 reasons. In the event of a lock failure a padlock can be cut off without destroying an expensive cage. The other reason is that she likes the idea that the sound of the padlock clicking shut and it being there as a physical reminder both serve to remind me of who is in control.
Now to my questions.
First, how best to determine the size, especially of the A ring. Along the same line, what the is preferred shape, round or oval? I read one suggestion about getting various 'O' rings from a parts house but those would be flexible and I wouldn't think they would give a true feeling of the fit/comfort of a hard ring. What are the opinions of the sizing rings sold by Mature Metal? Worth the $25 investment?
I have watched a few videos of men putting on cages but they don't really say anything about difficulty. My first thought was going to a hinged ring but have read way too many complaints of pinching from the hinge, even with a sleeve over the hinge. I have yet to find a video of a solid ring being put on by a female. How difficult is it to pull the balls and penis through the ring and how much pain/discomfort is involved? Since a woman doesn't really know how sensitive we can be has there been a lot of problems with your female keyholder to putting you in the device? Kitten insists that she want to do this herself!
One problem with the Jail Bird is the lead time for it to be made and delivered. Can anyone point me to a fairly good copy/knock off that is inexpensive that could be use while we wait for the custom made real deal? Gong this route might also give me some better 'feel' (pun intended) for the length of the cage.
Please limit comments to metal devices as I have another thread with questions about plastic cages.
