Measuring for a Cock Cage
Measuring for a penis cage is the single most important part of choosing the right one. Taking accurate measurements will mean that you end up with something that fits well, and isn’t going to damage your penis by being too tight, or fall off from being too loose.
There are two important measurements you need to take for each cock cage.
Parts of a Cock Cage
Each cock cage has two important parts, which is what each measurement is for. These are the ring, and the cage, tube or enclosure.
The ring is the section which goes at the base of your penis and around the scrotum.
The cage itself is the main body which covers the penis.
The cage and the ring can be connected in a hinge fashion, or be two separate pieces which you attach together once you’ve put them on. Cages with two separate parts are usually the easiest to put on.
Ring Measurements
When measuring for the ring, you need to be sure that both of your testicles, and the base of your penis will be able to sit inside without being too tight or too loose. When you get this right, the fit should be fairly snug, but not so tight that it cuts off blood flow to the penis.
Most cock cage rings are measured in diameter, which is the distance from one side of the ring to the other. Measuring the diameter of your penis is very difficult to do accurately though, so we can make things easier with a little calculation.
You’re going to want to measure the circumference around your penis and scrotum, right at the base where they touch the rest of your skin. This is where the ring will sit, so it’s important to get an accurate measurement. The best time to take this measurement is just after having a shower, as the penis will be completely flaccid, but the blood flow will be strong.
Using a cloth tape measure is the most accurate, but if you don’t have one of those handy, you can use a piece of string instead and then lay it out next to a ruler to find your measurement.
Once you figure out the circumference of your penis and scrotum, grab a calculator. You need to divide this measurement by 3.14 (pi to three digits) to find the diameter. For example, if your penis and scrotum have a circumference of 5.2 inches, then the diameter will be 5.2 divided by 3.14 which is 1.65 inches.
Everyone’s diameter is slightly different, so you’ll be unlikely to find a cock cage with a ring that exactly matches your measurement. You should always aim slightly larger, and get the next ring size up from your final figure.
If you’re ever worried about your ring measurement being inaccurate, then look for a cock cage which comes with a set of rings in different sizes. That way you can try the different sizes, find out which one is the best fit for you, and then keep a note of it for any further purchases.
Cage Measurements
The cage part (or enclosure) of the device will also need to be carefully measured for. We need to ensure that the cage fits just right. Too tight, and any time you get a slight erection you’ll be in excruciating pain. Too loose, and your penis can simply flop around inside doing whatever it wants.
To get an appropriately sized cage, you’ll need to measure both for the diameter and length. Luckily, you’ve already got the diameter measurement from the previous step. Unless your penis is a particularly unusual shape, this measurement will be the same.
In order to measure the length of your penis, you need to stand in a tall upright position. Hold your penis out in front of you at a 90 degree angle. Place the tape measure against your pubic bone, and measure from the base to the tip of the penis.
Doing this while maintianing the ideal posture can be quite difficult so you might want to get a friend to help.
Once you’ve measured for the length, you’ll be equipped to start looking for your cock cage!
Choosing a Cock Cage
Once your measurements are out of the way, it’s time to actually pick your cock cage. There are so many different ones out there. This part can be a little overwhelming if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for.
Luckily there are a few simple things to consider when deciding.
Which Material?
Material will be one of the most obvious choices to make. A lot of the time, your choices will be between metal, hard plastic, silicone, or resin. Each of these materials have different characteristics that will change how the cock cage looks, and how it feels to wear.
Metal is a favourite with many chaste men due to it’s cold, hard nature. It’s much more restricting than the other materials, and fits much more into the theme of being caged up.
Hard plastic cages are similar to metal chastity cages ones in that they are very sturdy and good at keeping your penis in one place. They aren’t quite as hard wearing as metal cages though and will usually need to be replaced a bit more often.
Silcone and resin cages are a bit softer. These can both be more comfortable than the other kinds as they feel nicer on the skin, which is great for people with delicate skin. They can also be much more comfortable to wear which is a consideration if you will be doing long term chastity.
Which Design?
Once you’ve chosen your material, you’ll still have a massive range of cages to choose from. The design will likely be your next step.
Each of these can be really different from one another, with some wrapping around your penis in intricate fashion, and others completely covering it.
Which design you choose is most often just down to personal preference, although some do feel different so once you’ve tried one out you might not want to go back to a standard cage.
Which Color?
Color is one of the final considerations you’ll need to make. Not every cage comes in a variety of colors but many do.
Which you go for is entirely up to you, or if your Mistress is particularly controlling she might want to decide for you.
Additonal Attachments
Not all cock cages are created equally, and some come with extra features that others will lack. Among these can be butt plugs, penis plugs, spikes, screws, electrostimulation and a whole host of other things.
If you’re looking to turn your chastity up a level, then picking up a cage with some additional stimulation may be exactly what you need.
Where will you wear it?
An often overlooked aspect of choosing your cock cage is where (and when) you plan on using it. A cage that is difficult to put on, and leaves a giant bulge in your trousers isn’t going to be ideal for someone who only puts it on when they are out of the house without their Mistress.
Think carefully about how you plan to use your cage, and which features and designs will work well with those goals and you’re bound to have a much better time!
