Cage length - "Show-ers" versus "Grow-ers" - advice please

I will defer to the "experts" here in the forum, but I think you want to stay as close to your normal flaccid length as possible.

 

My experience with various devices over the years has been that the more "free" space you have, the more painful it is when you try to exceed it. Which will happen at some point regardless of the device used.

The smaller device has the advantage of being less likely to catch something when you move/walk/sleep and easier to conceal. So for me, the smallest possible works best. Others may feel differently.

If you have a KH maybe leave the sizing choice to them

@Nostromo The cage length should be left to your Mistress or Master. Some, as I do, like to keep the penis in a flaccid state.

 

I hear that it is ultimately much more comfortable to have a small device that does not allow much growing because the more you grow, the more "stuck" you become and the more painful and slow it is to go away.

 

I am also a grower, about the same size. I've tried the CB2K, 3K, 6K, Curve and a couple metal devices. From all the ring devices, I can say honestly, get a belt. Problem I had is when I would go completely flaccid, the length of the cage didn't matter. When trying to get erect, I would get stuck near the opening, and it would push the cage away. For me this was exceptionally painful as it would cause the cage to pull my balls very far away from my body, sometimes even turning em purple. From all the devices, the 2K was the best, as it gave a little more entry room compared to the "ergonomic" designs of the others. The Curve was not as bad either, but if I wasn't lubed enough, it gave the same problem.

I did try the Lovejail from Fetish Felix, and loved the thing. I could wear it over night without tearing my balls off. The worst part of it was the pressure of my erection trying to push the whole belt off my body, but it was short lived and bearable.

Good luck!

 

I have similar measurements to yours. There is a problem with getting a device that has some extra room, particularly if your device is plastic or silicon. The problem occurs at night when it will allow you to experience erections which will push your device away from your body and pull on your balls causing you significant pain. In my experience, a fit that is snug for a grower in a properly fitting solid steel device that prevents erections will be much more comfortable. I wear a snugly fitting jailbird 24/7 ( worn for the past 9 months with once a month brief releases for shaving and playing with Mistress) and I have never experienced the night tugging at my balls. IMO only solid stainless steel is comfortable and suitable for long term wear.... Hinges cause pinching and plastic or silicon have hygiene issues that stainless steel do not have. Those who wear plastic or silicon long term usually resort to extensive workarounds to deal with hygiene issues that would be unnecessary with stainless steel. The plastic and silicon devices also split and tear with long term use, often injuring the wearer. For many, the most poorly designed devices for long term use are the plastic CB devices.

 

I went from a CB6000 to the CB6000s and find that smaller is better!

 

I'm a grower myself. I go from 3 1/2 to 7 1/4. The cb-x devices in any configuration just won't cut it. As Urcatcher pointed out

And most of them don't even realize that there is a better way. They've just heard so many stories of other's workarounds that they feel like that's the way it must be. I felt that way for the last year until I was finally convinced by the good people of this forum and another blog denyingthumper.com that stainless steel is the best by far. And don't take the cheap way out and go for the Dhgate/ebay fake chrome plated stuff. You'll only end up with chips of chrome embedded in your nether-flesh and a non-custom fit. Which for us "growers" is absolutely necessary. And trust me the smaller the better. It may seem counter-intuitive but the smaller you go the more comfortable the fit will be. And be sure to take a thousand measurements just to make sure you know what you're ordering. And if you go with MM they are super helpful. Ask questions and heed their advice. They know what they're doing.

 

The cage length should be left to the person wearing it.

Assuming that this is for long term wear, comfort, hygiene and safety are the most important factors, and only the wearer can assess those.

If it's only for a short term play session though, wear whatever you want (as long as it's safe).
