Should it hurt when I wake up?

Things turning blue for long periods of time is never good. My testicles will turn a purplish blue if I wake up with an erection in my cage, but turns the proper color after my erection goes away. If your testicles are turning a different color just from wearing the ring with no erection it's probably too tight for you. As far as the sore goes, you need to take it off and let it heal. Your skin needs some time to adjust, my first device was a Holy trainer and it would chaffe me pretty bad and take a couple of days to heal.

 

Your skin should adapt, some of us have more sensitive skin than others so it might take longer, so if you start to notice it getting a sore I would take it off. Use Desitin or neosporin to help it heal faster. You can always use a small bit of silicon lube on your skin in that area. That will help it remain slick in that spot for a good part of the day, I recommend silicon over water based lube or lotion because it won't absorb as fast as the other two i mentioned.

 

I also get sore around my base ring especially at night when the urge to pee results in my growing as large as my cage will allow. When this happens my balls will pull hard on my skin against the base ring, basically stretching them against it, resulting in some tender redness around the ring (usually on the underside).

I find Vaseline around the base ring helps at night and in the morning if I'm red or sore. I would say some purplish during an erection is fine, so long as the color goes away after, and you don't have any numbness or tingling.

Neosporin does help the redness heal faster. Just be careful to keep everything dry in between ointments so you don't accidentally end up with heat rash.

 

I don’t really subscribe to the MM method of measuring the ring. Wear what’s comfortable

 

You can use padding or medical tape along with lubes and creams to alleviate it some, but the skin will toughen over time.

 

To find Your Perfect fitting cage is a lot more difficult than just measuring it also takes test driving a few different models. Do you buy the first pair of shoes you try on or buy the first car you test drive?

Maybe someday they’ll have a Chastity Cage sizing store where you can try different cages without having to buy them, wouldn’t that be fun. But untill that happens it still requires some trial and error. Good Luck.

 

I use neosporin as my “lube” under my ring. Works to heal even without removal usually. As others have said, the skin will toughen or at least get used to it over time.

 

It does take some time to get use to. I like to think of it as a wedding ring over time you forget it’s on your finger / penise. It also shouldn’t be uncomfortably painful, it’s a fine line between tight and to tight.
