I’ve been keen on giving this a real shot for some time now; we’ve done it before, but usually only in short bursts over a few hours. Today marks the start of my first full 24-hour period… I do have a couple of queries though, particularly from those already well-versed in this lifestyle as couples. A little while ago we ordered a Jailbird—no surprise there—as it’s an excellent device with top-notch customer service. Anyway, I had to send it back once for some tweaks, but after chatting with them and reading up on things, it seems like the fit is right now. Still have a few questions.
-
When I’ve worn the Jailbird before (even if just for short stretches), I notice it leaves some marks near the head when removed—lines? Is that typical? They recommend positioning the cage snugly against the head; not painful, but tight enough. Just curious since we’re aiming to start with a few days, then extend to a week and hopefully make this our permanent lifestyle.

Do you prefer shaving completely with a razor or keeping it short-trimmed? If so, do you apply lotion regularly too? I’ve tried both approaches but never for extended periods; it feels like even shorter hairs can cause issues?
-
With the base ring and cage in place, is it hard to slide your finger under the cage? It’s easy up to the first knuckle with just the ring on, but does that change once the cage is attached?

What about exercise and gym visits? Does anyone here cycle or swim without any trouble? Seems like it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m curious what other guys have struggled with, lol?
Looking forward to this journey! Really happy my wife is getting into it too; just want to ensure I don’t hurt anything along the way. LoL
