Male Chastity Now discussion

You’ll really enjoy the Contender. It’s lighter and doesn’t pull down as much for me. I’m just thinking aloud... not claiming to be an expert on this feedback... but I believe a 1-1/8” internal diameter cage would suit you well. How does your current 1-1/4” Amicus feel? Does it have too much wiggle room? Is it comfortable and spacious when flaccid? I requested Mark to build me a 1-3/16” diameter cage, which he did via email with no complications at all. The dimensions were spot on for a perfect fit. However, that was specifically for my GlansArmor, as I wanted something slightly tighter than the standard 1-1/4” after nearly two years of comfortable use. Whether you should jump from 1-1/4” to 1-3/16” rather than going all the way down to 1-1/8” is your call. You can always ask him for his recommendation; I suspect he’d say there wouldn’t be a massive difference. And yes, 1/16” (about 1.5mm) is indeed small. For a Contender specifically, that difference is more subtle compared to devices that grip the shaft tightly. Regarding the base ring: Yes, it gets hot! The heat and lower-hanging testicles might be impacting your fit. I don’t wear an Amicus myself; its heavier build likely explains why you experience draw-down issues. However, trying a tighter base ring is worth attempting. It may help resolve the issue. Just ensure there isn’t excessive bunching or folding of skin that causes discomfort. I apply anti-chafing cream to my 1-3/4” (nominal ID) cage, which has ovalized over time. This cyclist’s cream prevents friction burns and allows for comfortable settling. From what I observe, the base rings are fully compatible across models, so ordering one separately lets you swap them easily. On length: The shorter cage option is 1-3/4 inches... Keep in mind this refers only to the cage body. When accounting for base ring thickness and gap space, it works well for those with a flaccid length around 2-1/2 inches. If you wish to go down to a 2-inch total measurement (cage plus rings), I have one like that: featuring a 1/4” gap, a 1/4” base ring section, and a 1-1/2” cage length. Mark recently told me: “A flaccid length of 2 inches marks the threshold for choosing between one or two cage rings on a Contender. Any flaccid length shorter than this definitely requires a single-ring setup. I usually default to two rings for lengths right at two inches.” So it’s entirely your choice whether you prefer a looser drop or a straighter fit. I’ve worn the 1-1/2” length with a half-inch gap as well, and found it manageable even though my flaccid length is around 2-1/4”. If yours is drooping down significantly, that could explain the extra space/gap. Perhaps smaller base rings will help... Do you already own one or are planning to order? I don’t have all the definitive answers here. Mark provides excellent email support though. Funny enough, I started writing this before noticing you mentioned my name! Haha. Good luck!
