    Hi, interested to know if anyone has worn a Small and Micro, and whether you were able to use the same sized ring for both? (Asking as the Micro seems to have a bigger ball gap measurement).

    I am curious if you really meant a small vs a short. Are you really going from a Small to a Micro? Because the size scale for Cherry Keepers goes like this from larger to smaller:

    Standard.....Small......Short......Stub.....Micro.......Innie.

    I have a standard, a small, and a short. I can use the same ring with all of them. The interfacing surfaces and their relationship to one another do not change. The exception is if when going smaller in cage size you have a smaller diameter......

    But ring size to me is a function of fit around the "package", so I'd recommend thinking in terms of what's the smallest ring I can comfortably wear BY ITSELF. Then attach a cage to it.

    It's not entirely that simple, but I think that will help answer your question.

    I use micro stub and short. Only during deep cleaning is the micro off these days. I will be adding the inny cage on next order per her directives she wants me to try it.

    Sorry, I did mean a Short (51mm total length).

    Very good......Thanks for the clarification. In this case, going from a small cage to a short cage, you will have NO trouble with existing rings.

    You WILL, however, realize how much shorter the "short" is compared to the small. As far as "cock volume" goes, the slightly smaller dimensions all around equate to almost a halving of the interior space. You will notice a HUGE difference.

    I've already gone from Standard to Short, and found the Short quite comfortable. Now planning on going from Short to Stub or even Micro. I think Micro might be pushing it, but no harm trying. Just trying to find the shortest cage I can comfortably wear and still pee in.

    I am full time in micro less short deep clean swap with stub.

    Myself and my small turtleling I cannot keep alignment and sitting required and I can't make a stream. It flows but falls a tumbling cascade.

    That's my fate. The wife actually likes my dribble flow. Says its natural and preferred. I know it's one of her reasons that I am always in micro.

    On my next order to CK I will be including the inney that is a directive.

    I have space with the stub length.

    Good luck.

    Thank. I'm 7" erect and 3.5" un-erect so quite a lot of compression in smaller cages.

    I've ordered a Stub and a Small with Spikes (see the other thread). Will see how the Stub goes before ordering a Micro, as I think the Stub may be my limit.

    You're package probably won't work with micro at all. It's a jump down from stub.

    Best of luck and enjoy.
