PART 2 * * * HOW TO CHOOSE MATERIAL TYPE: Metal chastity cages are best suited to shorter sessions where the Keyholder and the wearer are together in person. Longer chastity lock-up and distance training works best with plastic devices. Plastic devices are slightly more flexible and comfortable to sleep in and have other hygiene benefits. LOCKING VS. NON-LOCKING: Cock cages can come with or without a locking mechanism, depending on the level of security desired. Locking cages typically require a key or combination to remove, while non-locking cages can be removed more easily. Chastity cages are locked with either PADLOCK AND KEY or NUMBERED PLASTIC TAGS. The plastic tags are numbered so that a Keyholder knows if they've been tampered with. Plastic numbered tags are often favored by those new to chastity or those enjoying chastity devices over long distance, because they can be removed by the cage wearer in any emergency. Padlocks require the key to unlock. In an emergency, the options would be bolt cutters or a trip to an emergency room. Neither of these options are advisable or desirable. OPEN VS. CLOSED CAGES: Some cock cages have an open design that allows for more ventilation and hygiene, while others have a closed design that provides more restriction and control. HOW TO USE A COCK CAGE: Using a cock cage requires some preparation and care to ensure that it is safe and effective. Here are some basic steps to follow: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE: Cock cages come in different sizes, so it's important to choose one that fits comfortably and securely. A cage that is too tight or too loose can cause discomfort or even injury. As for the actual measuring process, Sydney Screams recommends wrapping a tape measure (or a piece of yarn/string, which you can then compare against a ruler) around the base of your penis while it’s flaccid. For the cage itself, chastity device brands like KINK3D recommend measuring your flaccid length and girth first to find the right fit. CLEAN THE CAGE: Before using the cage, it's important to clean it thoroughly with warm water and mild soap. This will help prevent infection and ensure proper hygiene. APPLY LUBRICANT: Applying a water-based lubricant to the penis and the inside of the cage can help make it more comfortable to wear. PUT ON THE CAGE: Start by placing the ring around the base of the penis and securing it in place. Then, slide the cage or tube over the penis and lock it in place using the provided lock or padlock. Make sure that the cage is snug but not too tight, and that it does not cause any pain or discomfort. COMBINING COCK CAGE WITH OTHER MALE TOYS: When it comes to combining a cock cage with other male sex toys, it's important to consider safety and comfort above all else. Some popular combinations include using a butt plug or prostate massager alongside a cock cage for increased pleasure and stimulation. Others may choose to use a penis pump or cock ring in conjunction with a cock cage to further enhance the experience. However, it's important to communicate openly with your partner(s) about your desires and boundaries, and to make sure that any combination of sex toys is used safely and comfortably. If you're unsure about the safety or effectiveness of a particular combination, it's best to seek advice from a healthcare provider or a qualified physician. SAFETY TIPS FOR USING A COCK CAGE: 1). While cock cages can be a fun and exciting addition to your sex life, it's important to use them safely and responsibly. Here are some tips to keep in mind: 2). Only use a cock cage with the informed consent of all parties involved. Never use a cock cage as a form of abuse or control. 3). Practice good hygiene and remove the cage regularly for cleaning and maintenance. 4). If you experience any discomfort, pain, or other issues while wearing the cage, remove it immediately and seek medical advice if necessary. 5). Never leave a cock cage on for extended periods of time, as this can lead to complications such as skin irritation or reduced blood flow.
