    Hi everyone,

    I've recently set up a small business called 'Abstained' on the side making and selling 3D printed, custom designed chastity devices and we are looking for two product testers who would be willing to test and review the product for us.

    About Me
    I am a Design Engineer with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and have 20+ years experience in the field, as well as 10+ years' experience with Chastity Devices. I have owned a vast number of varying chastity devices from cheap Chinese to high quality SteelWorxx devices, so have found out what does and doesn't work.

    Requirements
    We would require someone with an established PA piercing with a minimum gauge of 8. In order to make the product to size, we would require you to email us your measurements as per the attached sizing guidelines to; info@abstained.co.uk

    There are no catches with this - all we ask if for honest reviewers to tell us about;
    • Daytime comfort
    • Night time comfort
    • Ease of use
    • Product quality
    The product will be free along with associated items in the box and we don't require any payments from you - the condition is you give us constructive feedback by;
    • Starting a thread on Chastity Mansion reviewing the product
    • Completing a customer satisfaction survey via SurveyMonkey
    Once this has been done, you can keep the product to do with as you wish.

    What we need from you
    • A valid email address to send you your SurveyMonkey questionnaire
    • Your postal address
    • Your size requirements
    The device will take approx. 2 weeks to design, manufacture and ship to you.

    To express your interest, you can email us at: info@abstained.co.uk or PM me on this forum.

    Pictures below of one of my designs - the Captive PA

    Description

    The captive PA is a tube device suitable for a prince albert piercing. The device shields the head and glands of penis and is extremely lightweight. The design is clam-shell which gives the benefit of retaining a standard captive bead piercing for comfort. The design covers just beyond the head and piercing, which allows movement of the device during night time erections meaning a good nights sleep. The two clam-shells are held together with tamper proof bolts which are recessed. Once these bolts are fastened the clam-shells leave no gaps which could cause nipping of skin.

    Just want to clarify that we are willing to send the item to a tester internationally - the 'UK' in the title was meant to show that it was a product from the UK, not that we only wanted testers from the UK.

    The website is still under construction right now. However the product is available on a popular bidding site if you search for Captive PA

    Good luck with your product and company! That prototype is gorgeous, can I assume you're having it printed via SLS by a professional printer? If you don't mind me asking, who are you using?

    Hi Josie
    The printing is being done in house. The finish is a result if hand finishing each device. It takes a lot of work but well worth it. Also makes the device water proof.

    It looks quite nice. Well no piercing here so it isn't really for me but none the least I can still admire it.

    The device needs some form of drain and flush hole where the Pa ring is placed. Urine will pool and start to smell very quickly. Would need to flush it with water regularly. Just my thoughts from long long experience with PA only devices

    Hi Young. Thanks for your thoughts on drainage. I can add a hole around the bottom of the PA ring no problem at all. I found during testing that this wasn't an issue as the join between the two clamshells is not water tight. However a hole would 100% ensure zero water gets trapped.

    I think it would be a good idea, got to get all the urine out to prevent odours and would act as a good flushing hole when wash out with water through the front opening.

    Yeah definitely adding it to the design. One option could be supplying it with a syringe that fits the hole snuggly so you can blast water in it when ever it’s needed. You could clean it out at work easily with the syringe.

    Another good idea. Happy to be a tester if you wish but in Australia.

    Thoughts

    This looks like it needs more ventilation.

    Why don’t chastity cages look good?
    They are plain and ugly usually. I would like a cage made by Gucci or one he could get from a jewelry store. You know women like pretty jewelry. I want one that looks better.

    There are 3 main priorities when designing a chastity device: Security, comfort, and ease of cleaning.

    Chastity device makers do what they can to make them look better by giving color options when possible but that's about the limit of what they can do without sacrificing one of the 3 main priorities or seriously increasing the price. Since getting a device that fits comfortably can already be an expensive endeavor, I'm not sure there is much of a market for fashionable devices.

    Women are involved in a number of the custom creators, so it isn't just men making the devices with men buying them with both sides preferring function over aesthetics.

    Hello. I think this is a very interesting design. I'm curious about how it works for those of us who remain uncircumcised. Does the device need to be longer to mitigate interaction with the most sensitive parts of the foreskin?

    Hi Jlankin
    The device works for uncircumcised users. I myself am uncircumcised and have no issues with it. The entry into the device is tapered to allow any excess skin to feed into the tube. The original design was much longer but it proved to be a little painful during night time errections. The shorter design allows the device to move slightly so that it aligns to piercing and so remaining comfortable. There is some scope to increase the length on the bottom side of it is required. We are open to any suggestions for improvements. We are implementing an extra drainage hole based on some feedback here.

    Thank you for the insights. What is the diameter of the captive PA ring? Can the device be modelled to align with smaller diameters? I currently wear a 16mm ring, for example.

    Hi jlankin
    Yes every aspect of the device can be custom sized. As for designing for a 16mm diameter ring. It can be done but we provide the actual CBR as part of the package. So we would match your Gauge size and increase the overall diameter of it is needed as the design has to capture the PA with a screw that clamps the shells together. You can see this in the attached image.
