I have had my Jailbird for many months now and my only challenge so far is training in martial arts. I do a lot of kicks and jumping and jump kicks which about 60% of the time causes one testicle to escape. This is nearly the only issue I have had issues with escape. I get really warm, sweaty and throwing enough kicks will instigate the problem. I'm guessing this is a gap issue but it can't be a big adjustment because it is darn near perfect now. Thoughts?
Time to get a PA and a ringless PA cage from Lori, perhaps the mouse trap. If I had a testicle try to escape during a powerful kick it would probably explode on it way out between the cage and ring.
I've has a similar problem on occasion, every few weeks or so with one of my devices. It's a gap issue. I've taken to using a 40mm back ring during the day -- real tight, very small gap -- and the usual 45mm overnight when the testicle escape is not an issue (and the 40 is way too small).
Sorry but I just had to giggle at the title. I don’t think anyone in history has ever stated the phrase “martial arts causes ball pop out”. Sometimes I forget how silly we are about all this, cages on privates etc, taking a step back and hearing our own conversations is kinda fun. I’ve had that device, and believe the problem is cage turning. It swivels on the post a bit too far and the gap expands. There needs to be zero play between cage and post. If using a padlock and the hasp is too thin, it will allow a slight amount of movement. I got a lock with a slightly larger hasp that fit it tight. If using the security screw, that loosens up naturally, some plumbers tape will stop it from loosening up. Or if you have a dart supply shop, there are these tiny gaskets used on darts to keep them from loosening up from the shaft of the dart. Those would work too.
it's not unusual for one testicle to be a slightly different size to the other! If you want to (/have to) keep wearing it during your martial arts then an alternative way to stop them popping out may be to loosely tie a ribbon around both testicles. Just a suggestion that might work, so probably best to experiment at home before "tying yourself in knots" with others around at your club. (you could change the colour of the ribbon depending on how you progress!)
I agree with the giggles! Sometimes I think I must be crazy for what I’m doing and thinking- then I read on and think either everyone’s crazy or we’re all the same ones. Either way I’m not alone lol
So, I actually have experience with Martial Arts while in a cage. My cage is light, and tight fitting (3D printed of course), and I just wear tight spandex underwear (womens!), and it holds everything well in place regardless of what position I'm in, or what activity we're doing. It's not something I want to do, and I'm usually out for class, but not always
Yeah, testicles are a funny thing... sometimes they behave, but sometimes they just want to do their own thing, and it could be tomorrow, or weeks from now. Good luck!
I have heard that the longer you wear the base ring, your scrotum can stretch and require a smaller base ring. I'm in a 45mm now but there is 40mm in the drawer from a cheap cage I could try to see if the sizing has changed any.
That's pretty drastic of a difference. 5mm is huge when it comes to changing up your ring size. I was in a 51x46 oval ring in July, and went down to 51x45 for this month. I'm sure a 51(or 50) x 44 is in my future at some point, but wouldn't consider even a 42 at this point
I agree with Jewell that going down 5 mm would be too drastic. If I remember correctly mature metal goes by 1/8 increments for their ring sizes. Just going down by an eighth of an inch might be enough to fix the problem. A cheap fix to see if it would help might be wrapping the base ring in a few layers of electrical tape to increase the ring thickness/decrease the space inside the ring.
Slight correction... my current cage is 44mm. Based on advice from Mistress MM, I'm going down one size which would be 42mm. I have been in a 40mm ring since I shipped off the cage to be resized... it is tight, more tight than I find comfortable. Hopefully one size will make all the difference in the world. I have been pleased with the counsel and service, the quality of their work is why they have my business.
I like "micro" adjustments like that - even 1mm can sometimes be the difference between painful and comfortable.
Thanks for the suggestions... Cage just arrived in the mail today and the "one size down" seems to be a good fit. Nothing left now but to try it out during class. I held the 40mm Chinese ring up to the Jailbird ring after it was adjusted and was surprised how little difference it was in size.
Honestly, you might be better off just taking the cage off while your there You're definitely not gonna have a chance to cheat anyway. And the cup they make you wear over your dick should still be restrictive enough to keep that feeling of submission going strong That's been my experience doing Taekwondo at least
Little follow up So I just went back to one of the Taekwondo classes tonight, and I decided to secretly wear my cage while I was there. Three thoughts on the matter 1 - it surprisingly didn't get in the way of anything. I could do sparring, forms, practice kicks, etc just fine 2 - I was less worried about someone noticing than I would be in any other context because they expect men to wear dick cups anyway. So if anyone got anywhere near that area, that's all they'd notice 3 - Turns out that same cup feels really uncomfortable with a cage on. They're definitely not compatible with each other.
