I'm quite happy with my MM Jailbird, but it looks like BON4 are trying to make a mass market steel device. http://eustore.recon.com/collections/chastity/products/bon4m-stainless-steel-chastity-device The "secondary" pins look thin in this pic, but thats apparently an early beta model. The new ones are 50% thicker.
I purchased a BON4M (M I assume is for metal, but S would be more descriptive of the steel device), and it arrived on Monday. As expected, it is quite close to the CB-X type devices as it appears to be an knock-off of the CB-6000. I have to say, the device is kind of a DIY project, because everywhere on the device there are VERY sharp edges. They provide some sand paper and electrical tape to make it wearable, lol. It's taken a couple of hours of filing, sanding and polishing (with more tools than were provided in the kit) so the steel doesn't slice my finger, let alone my private bits. I don't think I am completely done with the metal finishing, but it's at least safe and reasonably comfortable to wear. Now that the hard work is over, I have to say that I do like this device a lot. Almost the exact security of the CB-X devices in an ultra modern steel design. As I am going for super-long term wear, so I am no able to give it a perfect thumbs up yet. But I have worn it for a total of 60 (non-continuous) hours including 3 overnights, and I have not noticed any significant problems. Even the hinged ring which worried me does not yet seem to cause problems. I will post a full review once I have owned (and worn) it for a sufficient amount of time.
Wow, I was interested in this device and emailed Bon4 and in that asked: "Thanks Peter... one more question... the square edges on the ring and rear of cage... they look 'sharp' or at least aggressive. " The reply I got was: "we would never put a "sharp" device on the market, that would be a bad device. All parts have been polished carefully although this has been done by humans and not by robots. We do the polishing ourselves and of course mistakes can be made but you should not worry about that. Until now we have not received any complaints, only compliments from excited buyers." I do therefore look forward to a full review from yourpuppymiss!
I am now wearing one of these too - the small one. I had to emery down the odd burr. Apart from that it seems fine. 1st day in it. It is comfy so far, and discrete. Will let you know more.
Slept in it now issue and day 2 was fine too. A bit worried about the hinged ring, may be have to tape over the hinge. So far so good.
I'm finding the base ring not so comfortable at the moment. I think I am going to round the edges more with a file when I get a chance. Apart from that its good. The guide pins being small expand with body heat in their holes and thus it is very difficult to remove.
I have photos on fetlife now: https://fetlife.com/users/449848/pictures/28009170 https://fetlife.com/users/449848/pictures/28009121 I tried to upload to CM but it stops at 90% so I gave up.
I have just received my small version this afternoon and it is feeling great. Do think that the expanding pin may make it a bit tight to pull off, but nothing some cold water won't solve. Feels, so far, quite comfortable. Though even this small version is at least half an inch too long for me. Photos soon, I promise.
I bought a Bon4s stainless steel device and had nothing but problems with it. Way too many sharp edges and it's also very heavy. I ground and sanded all of the sharp edges and thought maybe it was then suitable for long tern wear. A few days later I got a very painful burning sensation on the under side of my penis. I removed the cage only to discover that the cage had rusted and that gave me a painful infection. I wrote to Bon4 company several times. The only time I got a response initially is when I decided to get the solid ring, as the hinged ring was terrible. Peter was quick to write back, trying to gouge me for 125 dollars. I ended up getting a solid ring co less through the supplier I purchased the device from.. After seeing the cage rusted, I wrote to Bon4 again. No response.. After writing several more times, I got an email from Peter.. Saying his company did not like my 'pushy attitude'. I don't appreciate being defrauded out of my hard earned money, and found his remarks to be appalling. I would not recommend buying any products from Bon4.
Mistress got me a Bon4m, and yes had to get grinding tool and radius base ring, and lower edge of tube. Been in for over a year . Comfortable, with good access for cleaning. Wear for upto 3 weeks at a time before allowed out and deep clean. Shower every day. No signs of euat. Think you must have been sold copy device?? It's sintered stainless steel, expensive to tool up for.
They have made a metal one years ago that I own. Too heavy and I found it difficult to put on with those little guide pins. I have little feeling in my finger tips so it took a long time to get it on. I have been wearing my Jailbird for almost 5 years and I hardly think about it. I am very used to it and with the security screw it is very lightweight.
Considering order this device as my first go at chastity when worn have evident is it under ones clothes please. Showering each day is the padlock still fine please.
I have this device. I don't know why but I actually love it. It does have sharp edges and the pins are a pain in the ass to align. The cage is too 'roomy'. And I get sore under my nuts after a couple hours. It cost 4X what my Chinese made cage cost and the Chinese cage I can wear all day and night. But still, for some reason I do like wearing this one.
We're new to all this am are considering several types of devices. However we both love the look of the Bon4. I see their site has a 'Promo' with greatly reduced prices. However it appears from looking at their photos that the 'Promo' versions have a solid ring. Any experiences or thoughts?
I have the locking rings with my bon4-I'd personally go for that-easier to put on is the main advantage but if it's not coming off very often then the type of ring isn't an issue-oh with the locking ring you'll have to have some surgical tape over the hinge to avoid pinching
We tried various Chinese knock offs of different makes including a knock off Bon4M. Then we tried the Vice. Finally we bought the new style real Bon4M. The real Bon4M is the most comfortable and is also the only device that my balls have never slipped thru. I expected to have to polish it before use but upon arrival I found polishing wasn't necessary.
