I do not know the symbol of this cage as on different sites it is sold with different number, but the question is - does anyone has this cage and can write something about it? I think it is the closest copy of MM jailbird cages (at least when it comes to shape), but I'm afraid of the quality of the wire. Is it elastic? Doesn't it getting rusty?
This cage is slightly less than $20. I'm afraid if it was all in steel the price would be closer to MM Jailbird too. By the way - I think that's the reason you can't find the copies of Jailbird among chinese products - they would be to laborous to manufacture, thus - much more expensive. I'm also afraid of pinching, especially if the wires are able to move. Would be great if anyone shares the experiences with this cage.
... because wire is cheaper and easier to bend than solid steel. It also makes unskilled construction easier. I'd suspect that the wire is fixed using solder instead of welding; The metals and flux used for soldering might also cause skin problems. I'd also expect that the wire is more difficult to keep clean, and could even snag hairs when it flexes while wearing.
Imagine being in that while out of town for a day and one of those bits of wire begins to fray (it looks like it might be already in the photo)
What a bloody mess that will turn into. The cage part is made of small steel wires wrapped around one another for strength I don’t even believe that they are stainless steel - if they are it’s the very low end of the spectrum
If the idea is just to get something cheap, and you'd actually prefer solid steel rather than wire, there are plenty of cages on ebay in the $20-$30 range. Here's one for $23 https://www.ebay.com/itm/274572955753
I own this wire cage. The wire does not chafe like I thought it might. As expected, it is excellent for hygiene, just like the jailbird. You can file the post on the ring to reduce the gap, which is important to me. It does not rust. I consider the jailbird to be a best in class design. I don't own a jailbird nor do i wear this device for the same reason - I cannot wear either and reliably use a urinal. I need an open vertical slot in the front and those anti pinch horizontal bars block urine flow. I can reliably use a urinal in other designs but they do pinch compared to this one
I believe the "otherwise unnecesary" horizontal bars on jailbird design in front of the cage are there to keep sheets and underwear from the tip of the device where a nighttime erection would create flesh to escape the front and be pinched. The design offset is loss of urinal use, which is important to me and allowed by my KH. If my KH required a sit to pee protocall I would probobly use this design.
