Chaffing underside of shaft at cage entrance.

I got that with a cheap plastic one. It seemed that the angle of the cage ring pushed too hard against the btoom of base between penis and scrotum.

 

This may very well be a gap issue, indeed…

Winter may get the balls to go higher due to the lower temperatures which might get more flesh/skin to build up at the root..

Very plausible that this makes the gap size too small..

I actually have two base ring sizes.
A slightly larger one for the winter which gives a bit larger diagonal gap size to deal with high-and-tight balls.
A smaller one for the summer when all is a bit more loose…

 

I find using a good massage oil on the underside allows the ring to move easier and prevent that chaffing and burning sensation.. a must for long term comfort.

 

I've had issues with very small scratches, burrs, and ridges from manufacturing of both plastic and steel cages causing the same irritation. You can check by running your fingernail over the area.

Careful sanding with increasingly high grit sandpaper (400/800/1000/2000) then a polish (metal cages only) has always resolved the issue for me.

Instead of Vaseline I've switched to a tiny dab of lanolin, stays put all day and is all natural. A small 2 oz tube lasts at least 6 months of 24/7 wear and isn't as messy as petroleum jelly or silicone lube.

Good luck finding the right solution for you!

 

If you're new we all get chafing in the beginning until your skin gets tougher

 

With a plastic cage, I had issues with friction caused by moisture.

Lubes etc. (eg petroleum jelly) only worked until the lube dried out.

Talc fixed the problem for me. Needs to be reapplied if the balls sweat.

 

If talc doesn't help, I'd suggest it's the cage.

Reminds me of a pair of shoes I once had. Everything felt fine to the touch, but the leather at the heel was just slightly too-thin. They tore up my heels, even with thick socks. I had to put a plaster (band-aid) on each heel before wearing them.

Maybe try some acrylic paint on that edge to thicken it slightly.

 

Yes I have this same issue with the CB6000. Had to give it rest for a couple of days. It happened when I went to a smaller base ring. With the larger ring I could feel my shaft moving in and out of the cage when I bent over. The larger ring must give more space in that area.

 

It could be caused by your sweat or urine getting trapped there. I had this years ago with a metal cage, the sweat would act like a lube and allow my penis to move more and cause a irritation like you describe.

 

I've also noticed that with some metal cages, depending on what the use to make the cages entrance (for example flat metal bar or round bar) may make a difference. For instance flat bar for me I tend to see that over time I start to get a bruise on my skin in one specific spot along one side of the cage and base ring near the top. Now if I wear a cage that uses round bar for the cage entrance, I don't get the bruise at all. The round bar is a lot more forgiving on my skin and which that specific issue (for me at least).

 

Also if it's specifically only a problem during the winter it could just be that your skin is drying out more or what not. May need to moisturize more for the time of year.

 

After reading this thread, I am trying Vaseline on the underside of my penis. Since I am a grower that sometimes turtle, I am wondering if the movement causes the lubricant to degrade, causing the skin to drag. Vaseline stays slippery for a long time, so I’ll see if it’s better than the gel baby oil.

 

Using Vaseline seems to be better, but I still ended up with a sore spot on the underside. It appears to be a pressure sore, and it shows up in the morning. I can wear the cage from morning to night without any irritation, but go overnight and I start feeling sore. I’m beginning to think my nocturnal erections are the real issue.

 

I have the same issues with one of my cage. I get pressure spots over night using the smaller base ring I have, when I use the base ring that's one size bigger no issues over night with pressure spots from my body's attempts to have an erection.

It is most def caused by erections, but that being said it might be a design flaw in that specific cage. Like if the cage has a downward angle or specific gap that or dimension that is not adjustable, can causing pressure when erections happen. You could try a different cage all together and not have those issues. Could just be inherent to the design of that specific cage/device.

 

As of now, I am going to stay locked all of my waking hours, then remove the cage at bedtime. If this works, then I’ll know it is erection related. I’m wearing a MM Jail Bird. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be back to square one.

 

I just had my queens keep sent back for adjustments, hopefully for the final time. Lol

 

Use Lanacane it’s a game changer

 

I use bacatracin as lube. I tried vasolene and it caused a horrible smell. The bacatracin works as a lube and doesn't cause a funky smell.
