What's that smell?

Had several jailbirds over the years. There are probably 2 sources of the smell.

1. The intersection of crossbars tends to collect urine, no matter how hard you try to keep it clean. It can only get 100% clean by removal. You CAN keep it clean enough for continuous wear though.
2. Urine also tends to hide between the cage and your sac. This is what I focus on keeping clean when I shower.

My wife knows to have a wash cloth handy when we play. You can keep things 98% clean with the cage on, the other 2% she takes care of as soon as it comes off.

 

What fisherman said. You will never get truly clean without taking it off. There are too many nooks and crannies for sweat and urine to hide.

 

Need to take it off to get it properly washed and dried. Body fluids get trapped in every nook and cranny, they evaporate and leave residue and it repeats.

 

Playtime should start in the bath (or shower if you’re posh enough to own one.)!

Once your KH gets used to this lifestyle she’ll begin to accept these little quirks.

 

just have another cage and then you can change them and wash the one thats not on you.

 

This is always the first thing I think of when someone starts talking about being "permanently in chastity." Even if there was absolutely no other reason for the cage to come off, it's going to need to come off to be cleaned. There's just no way to get it completely clean without doing so.

 

I remove it almost daily for a clean. Rarely get aroused whilst doing it, though it likes to spring to life when I'm pushing it back on. She'd know from my mood if I cheated. Once they know your rhythm there is no escaping the mental chastity. When you truly wait for her attention, and stop chasing it. So this isn't a chore for her. The only time she does the unlocking ceremonially is in the bedroom. Keeping clean is my issue, though she does occasionally check up, or challenge me if I've had a long shower.

 

It really does depend on the cage!

 

For stainless cages, every 2-4 weeks drop the components in a glass of water and a denture cleanser tab. It will be sparkling clean in less than 15 minutes.

 

It's been a few years since I used a device, but I used to have a Queen's Keep which isn't terribly different from a jailbird. There are spots, especially at the intersection of the bars, where dead skin, bacteria, and urine can collect. I could keep it fairly clean with some thorough washing with soap and a wash rag in the shower (and I mean very thorough, I would spend several minutes cleaning every nook and cranny). But eventually it would still start to smell bad. Every couple of weeks, we'd send it through the dishwasher on the sanitize setting. That always did a good job. Just send it through by itself because it's kind of gross to have it in there with your dishes.

 

Really??? I thought that was supposed to be one of the advantages of a stainless steel cage! It sounds like my Vice is easier to keep clean and odor free. I've been able to go a month without removal and not have issues. I'm very surprised.

 

I had a queen's keep years ago. It has flat stainless at the base of the tube if I recall. That area was harder to keep clean because it was like a solid tube.

An open design made entirely of round stock is your best bet for simple hygiene.

 

Metal is better, true, but It isn't always the cage itself that needs the attention, it's your dick, If you are "packed tightly" in a cage, then all that skin bunches up and sweat and everything can get trapped in the folds, under the bars, etc. Even without a cage, we can get kinda ripe just being trapped in tight underwear and pants all day long, especially if active.

I suppose if your cage is oversized and your dick fits in it like a BB in shoe box, then maybe, just maybe you might be able to power wash it clean, but if for no other reason, the skin where the bars are making contact needs some time to breath.

There might be 1% exceptions, but I generally don't believe anyone can stay odor free for a month or more locked in a normal cage...sorry. Maybe you are just used to the odor.

 

It wasn't really the material's fault. Stainless is a good material. But if there is a place where dead skin and stuff can collect, it will still accumulate and stink. The metal itself won't stink, and the open areas of the metal won't stink, but those little intersections can be a source of smell.

 

and as well it migt go more smelly if you live in a counrty that hot and sunny a lot. and if you wear great big mens undies and trousers as well.

 

A squeeze bottle with a few drops of anti bacterial soap and a q-tip can hit all the spots and folds of skin.

 

I had a cheap stainless cage once that had lots of crevices where the rings were welded to a flat bar that got gross after 2 days. You could not clean the crevices even with a tooth brush, no way to get in, soaking was the only way. I made myself a jailbird type cage and silver soldered the bars into the rings to try and eliminate those small gaps, partially successful.

 

I have worn my Steelheart for about 8 weeks without a significant smell in a metal tube, my advice is antibacterial liquid hand soap.

A daily bath, putting a soaped-up finger in properly to make sure the soap cleans and I have a squirt bottle like tattooists have that I put about 5 pumps of the liquid soap in and fill with water. I rinse with that on every use.

Having been getting fit recently and getting dehydrated I've discovered it doesn't take much to make pee stink, so maybe drink more water.

Finally, if you have a foreskin then use the squirt bottle under there when in the tube because the normal washing that pulls the skin back isn't possible in the tube
