My experience with Cherry Keeper

I love my Cherry Keeper ensemble.

 

I too love my CK. The smooth finish was a good change. The ring on my first wasn’t smooth and it pulled and became uncomfortable at night. Haven’t had the problem with the new smooth one

The tolerances are great. My new smooth ring fits all the other CK cages I already have, also like the contrast on occasion of black ring purple cage.

My newest ones, in pink, are in production right now, supposed to ship by the end of the month.

 

How did you determine the best fitting cage and ring with all those options? It’s a bit overwhelming.

 

Curious,

Ya gotta make your best estimate on size and style, then go for it. If you are like most of us, we refine our choices on the next one.

I like ALL of mine. Some better than others.

 

Thanks. I spent an hour on their website and think I have a better understanding of the options.

 

I saw a reviewer mention they could go up a base ring size because they are light weight compared to my usual SS device. So I did that. And tried a vertical oval also. Hope to get it on and off easier/faster with bigger base rings. The headlock also looks interesting. Cannot wait to try it out to see if it meets my needs for metal detector situations etc.

 

The vertical oval is a game changer for me.

It’s my favorite ring.

 

Just seems to fit human anatomy better.

Think of a modern athletic cup. Taller or wider? It’s taller.

 

The stainless steel device I am wearing now is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and so it its like it has a vertical oval and it’s very comfortable. I haven’t tried a round ring yet, in order to compare.

 

I am interested in a ck. When it's time to get a lock cylinder. I know there's links on the faq page that takes you to Amazon but when I get to Amazon it gives me options for mini or small locks. Is it the mini or the small lock that works with ck?

 

Also has anyone tried the head lock system cages? My only experience with anything like that was the vice with anti pull out and all it did was act like a ratchet so once the skin or penis worked it's way back out of the cage it stayed there.

 

I personally find the headlock to be a blessing and a curse. IF every single measurement was perfect, they work. Otherwise, your ratchet effect is correct.

I recommend tying a few cherry keeper cages. THEN try headlock. I own a headlock.

 

I like the headlock as well. Just need to make sure you measure well and take your time. I like the fact that CK is cheap enough that you don’t have hundreds of dollars invested just to realize it’s not the right fit.

If you have any other cages that fit well fine the measurements of those and use them to get in the wheelhouse of a CK. That’s what I did, my Kink3D fit well so I used those numbers and compared to CK.

CK, for me, is better then Kink3D, but hey, we’re all different!

 

Thanks for your advice.

 

Has anyone noticed that if you sand down the cage to make it smoother does it affect the finish and color if you purchase a different color other than white.

 

The original finish on the material was more rough. They have a new finish option that is smoother. Get the smoother one and i don’t think you need to sand it.

My first CK was the original finish and the ring was uncomfortable at night because there was too much “grip”.

I tried the new smooth finish on the next ring and it was what made the CK a daily wear item for me. So much so I ordered another in another color and just got it this week.

 

They are deep down all white.

RIT dye works easily and cheaply to restore the color.

 

Thanks for all the great advice. I have about 4 items in my shopping cart right now that way I could go back and not have to search for it all over again.

 

I am thinking about getting this combo. Ck small cage and a tall oval base ring. Originally leaning towards the short cage with headlock but I think I'll keep it simple for now and depending on how things go maybe go smaller or do a more custom cage. I wear anywhere from 38-40mm base rings 40 being slightly big and 38 being just slightly small. And from what everyone is saying about the tall oval I figured I'd try that first.

 

My only concern with this is the gap. I currently use a 1/2 in gap on my mature metal and it's still not right. Have to send it back to make it larger. Hopefully another 1/8 or 1/4 will.do the trick. Not sure if there's anything that ck makes or if she can customize the gap. Everything I've seen gives gap estimates based off of cage size and base ring size. Looks like bigger the base ring the gap gets bigger as well. And there's the problem I don't need a giant base ring. So my question is how do you have a bigger gap than what the estimate is for the cage and base ring sizes. I believe I read that with the short cage and the 40mm ring gap is roughly 11mm.

 

Pick a ring with + angle to increase the gap…

Thank you. I was not quite sure if I understood those rings that have the positive or negative.
