Introduction My wife and I have been married for a bit over 10 years and we have been dabbling in chastity for the last two or three years. We are outwardly a very normal middle-class couple who happen to be very passionate about the positive effects that chastity can have on a marriage. It is in the last year or so that we have decided to take it more seriously, leading to my getting a PA piercing so that I could be locked up without any chance of pulling out of my cage. We have followed what I think is a very common journey with chastity cages, starting with some off-the-shelf cages (CB-X Curve, HolyTrainer v3 Maxi) and some random Chinese cages from eBay before going custom (Steelworxx Looker02 and a Rigid Chastity PA fixing cage). There are plenty of options for custom cages but so far very few manufacturers in the UK. So I was excited to hear about a new company in the UK making custom 3D-printed cages, Abstained Ltd. This is my review of their Captive PA device after about a week’s use. Disclaimer: I was provided with a sample cage for this review but haven’t received any other compensation for writing this review. First Impressions Measuring for the device is very simple and Abstained Ltd provide easy instructions to follow. I made sure to take measurements when I was fully flaccid. The device arrived in plain packaging. The contents came attractively wrapped in red tissue paper and included:
- One easy-clip PA ring in 4mm (6ga) gauge, 22mm inside diameter.
- One sterile cleansing wipe
- A clever 3D printed ‘key’ for unscrewing the cage security bolts
- A spare bolt
- The cage itself I am nervous about nickel allergies so I used my own 4mm titanium CBR which fit perfectly. I plan to stretch my PA to 5mm and found that the 5mm ring I have will also fit with no problems. Putting the cage on was very simple. I put my penis into one of the cage halves and seated the PA ring and captive bead. Putting the other half on is a bit more fiddly as it takes a bit of care not to trap skin between the cage halves but only takes a minute or two. I did need to be fully flaccid in order to get the device on as it was fitted so well to my flaccid measurements. One the halves are together securing the cage involves tightening the three security bolts with the ‘key’. And that is it - the cage is light, discreet, comfortable and impossible to remove without the key. Use throughout the day The captive PA is the most comfortable device I have ever worn. It is so light and comfortable that it is easy to forget that it is on. I used it while wearing jeans, work trousers and casual trousers and it didn’t cause any noticeable bulge. Going to the toilet is less convenient, but no worse than other cages I have used before. I didn’t use a urinal with it on - I think this could be possible but I prefer not to use urinals while I am locked up in any cage. I think there are a few tweaks that could be made to the cage design that might make this easier - see the end of my review for suggested changes. I found that urine does remain in between the two cage halves which needs rinsing out at least by the end of the day. Would it be possible to achieve orgasm with the cage on? Maybe, but it would not be particularly easy or comfortable. It certainly wouldn’t be any easier than with any of the other cages I’ve had. Overnight I wore the cage for three full nights while I had it. I was woken up a couple of times with night-time erections which I think caused a bit of pinching between the ring and the cage. The other two nights were fine. I think the chance of pinching with an erection will go away when I stretch up to a 5mm PA ring as there will be less space between the ring and the cage. Hygiene Hygiene is mostly ok but not perfect. Urine does collect inside the device itself and stays between the two halves. Cleaning is very easy as water passes between the halves and through the device, but it would be better not to have the urine in there in the first place. There are a few minor tweaks which I think could prevent this problem entirely: Potential Improvements
- The security key design is a great idea, but the holes for a lock to go through are too close - it is unfortunately very easy to pull the lock pieces apartwhen secured with a plastic tab. These should be moved further apart.
- To prevent urine from pooling in the device, I think the end urethra hole should be made bigger. I think it would be interesting to see how the device could work if the section around the PA ring was removed entirely, leaving just the centre part where the bolt goes. This would still have the same level of security but would make urination simpler. Summary I was really impressed with the Captive PA device from Abstained, especially at this early testing stage. I’m looking forward to seeing how the design develops - and the potential for a CNC-machined aluminium device sounds very exciting! For all the photos I have uploaded you can visit the gallery here.
