    Hello All,

    Recently acquired a Steelworxx Looker02 with the urethral insert.

    I have been wearing a MM Jailbird for several years now and, thanks to the exact proper fit, can adequately "line everything up" and urinate, through the bars, while standing, which comes in handy during a night out on the town. My only dissatisfaction with the JB is the security screw; while its the "low profile" nature is excellent, it is a real pain in the neck to secure and remove, and so I wanted something of high-quality with the cylinder lock (or whatever it might be called).

    So the Looker02 fits great all-around. Even the standard insert (6mm with 8mm ball? I'm guessing; I haven't actually measured it) goes in and stays in with no discomfort. The problem: the dreaded "blow-by" when urinating.

    Now I don't mean that just "a little" gets out from around the tube, I mean that it is pouring out, both from the small holes at the end of the cap, and even from around the top of the cap (where it joins with the bars). As such, it will be *barely* hygienic enough with even *daily* removal for cleaning and maintenance, to say nothing of the customary (and much-preferrred) *weekly* program. (Not to mention that I would ALWAYS have to find a way to sit.)

    Have any of you Steelworxx wearers, upon first experience with the standard insert, found the similar problem? What did you do? Did you order a larger insert? With a bigger thru-hole? Did it work?

    I'm definitely bummed about the idea of having to send the cage back to Germany (if in fact that becomes necessary, for proper fitting?), but without getting a larger tube to prevent blow-by, the item will not be usable for its sole intended purpose.

    All comments welcome!

    I have an insert with 8 mm diameter and 10 mm ball.
    The bore is 6 mm. Length app. 50 mm.
    It leaks also.

    I also tried an 8mm tube with 9mm bulb (the largest I could insert) and gave it up due to excessive leakage.

    I recently tried the badassworkroom tetherspout and there was no leakage at all with that. But there are other pros/cons with the tetherspout.

    I have a cheap looker 01 knock off. It also came with a urethral insert and doesnt spray if I press the end of the tube against my urethral hole.
    This seals the system by building oressure against the insert.

    I guess this might help against major leaking.
    If not speak with the vendor. You paid lots of money for it and should get some service for this.

    Excellent responses, each of you, so I thank you.

    Servus, I hadn't thought of trying the "pressing" technique, but I will the next time...

    I don’t share your opinion. An urethral insert is not build to fit the anatomy to serve as a sealed urine tube. Also the urethra is adapting to it.
    The tube is mainly considered to be used as pull out prevention.

    This text is cited from the web site of steelworxx.
    Thinking is not your favorite talent.

    Just find a place to sit to pee, as all our superior women have to. And accept the inconvenience as they have had to.

    I have many more talents than just citing a text from an internet site.
    And in contrast to you, thinking belongs to one of my better ones.
    It seems to be something you seemed to have missed out in your development.

    Everybody has his place in the world.

    Oh yes, I otherwise do; I only mention that being able to stand (with the Jailbird) is exceptionally helpful at times.

    But even sitting, with the Looker, makes a mess, and will not be acceptable (in its current state of affairs) throughout the work day. Fatter tube with bigger bore may be the only possible solution; will report back if I try it, and it works.

    Hey Altrent.
    How is the shape of your urethral insert at the point where it is attached on the cap? Is it removable or is it permanently fixed there?

    Did the pressing technique work?

    Servus,

    It is the removable type, so the tip has the threads on it that go through the hole in the cage, and is secured by the little nut.

    Now, regarding the pressing technique, I have NOT tried it yet, but that's because the JailBird has gone back on (and so far stayed on). It did occur to me that the Looker02 cage is rather short, so the, er, "equipment" is already much compressed inside of it, and so the tip of the penis (in fact, the whole head) is already pressing against the cap. As such, if I had to guess, I would imagine that the technique might not make any difference, but I do promise to report back when I get around to trying it, and see the results.

    All tube’s leak. It’s mostly for security. The advantage is that urine is sterile. So the leakage actually cleans and helps keep things bacterial free.

    The best way to seal an insert is to have a bulge or increase in diameter of the tube close to where it meets the cage.
    Since the tip of your glans has a sphincter like restriction, it's easier to seal it there than further in where your urethra becomes wider and less tight.

    Kiesela,

    Good point. IIRC I had fewer such issues when I was test-driving a knockoff, the tube for which was 1" longer tube, *and* was equal diameter throughout its length. (Not to mention, slightly larger than even the bulb of the Steelworxx tube.)

    Perhaps, if I invest the $ and turnaround time, a longer and wider tube with a greater I.D. could make the item as close as possible to ideal.

    I've used urethral penis plugs separately from my cage. Photo below. Once I got one of the perfect diameter, the shape of the undulations along it's length meant it can easily slide past the constriction in the glans, but is much harder to remove. I can pee through them perfectly with no blow by.

    As an inverted cage wearer, I'd really like a combination of my cage with a urethral insert like my plugs. I think it would be a perfect solution for the messy peeing I currently have to endure.
