Novices and newbies discussion

Hi everyone, I’ve just joined and have done quite a bit of homework, but I still think it’s best to ask for the group’s input. Over the years I’ve experimented with different cages intermittently. The CB-6000, Birdlocked, and currently the Holytrainer 2 are among them. With the HT specifically, both the standard ring size and the tiniest (36mm) version have given me identical outcomes. I’m a grower by nature. Typically, I can only manage to get into these devices using the pantyhose technique. It’s hard for me to stay soft enough during insertion, but I eventually succeed. Still, it never shrinks down quite as much before the cage goes on as one might hope. Two problems stand out, and they probably stem from the same cause. The first is that when my penis goes flaccid while wearing the cage, I can pull it right out with ease. My balls remain trapped inside, but pulling the shaft free—and even re-inserting it via pantyhose—is straightforward. I know this partly depends on self-control, and no plastic holder is perfectly rigid. However, being able to pop it out so easily worries me a little. Is my fit off? Or does the device just not match my anatomy well? I’m also considering The Vice because its design seems to grip the shaft better, which might stop that pulling-out issue. What do you think? The second problem concerns the part of the penis inside the body cavity (see image). That section expands significantly and pushes the whole cage downward against me. Wearing underwear provides some tension relief, but my KH often prefers I sleep without clothes or stay nude around her. In those situations, as growth occurs, it forces the cage away from my skin, causing twisting that leads to soreness and rubbing on my scrotum. Any advice? Would stepping up to a bigger cage give the shaft more breathing room internally? This wasn’t bothering me much before, but with a stricter KH now, I want to get the fit right. For various reasons, though, neither a custom device nor PA piercing are options for me right now. Appreciate your help.
