A Few Queries Before Fully Committing To Long-Term Chastity

I’ve recently landed a more stable position at work, and my partner Bunny and I are thinking about long-term chastity as an enjoyable way to add some excitement during our time apart.

We usually hit several snags whenever we bring this up, often leaving the topic on hold until one night when we both happen to be in the same mood and end up having that familiar circular discussion.

Gear I’m using a Mancage Model 4 (apologies for linking Amazon, their own site lacks a direct URL).

It’s a 4.5-inch cage that fits nicely once I adjust and tweak it properly. It might be just a touch too tight; I sometimes have to guide my phallus through with a string so everything aims correctly, and urination is tricky because alignment isn’t quite perfect.

I’ve thought about downsizing, but if I put the Model 4 on right, it fills up completely to the tip. If there’s an easy method for me to fit into a smaller cage, please let me know—I’d really like to give it a go. Currently, managing my entry and exit takes around fifteen minutes of focus, which kills the mood.

Issue 1 - Discomfort beneath clothing It isn’t due to tight garments; if that were the issue, I’d simply buy looser clothes. The cage really irritates me under fabric—some materials are worse than others, so I know what to steer clear of now. Does anyone have tips for improving comfort? Maybe a specific tucking method or some bandage tape could help secure it better. Again, advice on how to fit into a smaller cage works here too. Cage-specific suggestions are welcome as well.

Issue 2 - Urination difficulties This is largely an issue with the hole’s shape, size, and placement on the device. I’m not sure if Google is burying good results, but I struggle to find advice on keeping the holes aligned so I can pee without unlocking myself or enduring that painful re-caging routine, which leaves me spraying urine everywhere like a chihuahua holding a fire hose.

Issue 3 - Sensitivity My feelings are very present. To be serious: certain sensations bother me greatly, and my skin reacts easily to prolonged contact with specific liquids. Lotions, shampoos, lubricants—all of them. If I leave any product on for over ten minutes without it drying out, a rash tends to appear. I’m unsure what triggers this because water exposure doesn’t seem to be the problem; that’s fine. Obviously, I’ll need some lube to prevent chapping. Bunny and I are already buying my preferred lotion since it dries before rashes start and is budget-friendly. The other challenge is uncomfortable sensations. Pressing against the cage? Fine. Compressing/lubricating my phallus during insertion? Terrible. It might seem like a “get over yourself” issue, but I can’t ignore it—it’s genuinely frustrating.

Thanks in advance for your replies; I’m seeking all the help I can get from what seems to be the best community for resources on this subject. Sorry for the long post—I tend to write more when nervous or excited. You’re wonderful, have a great day/night!
