I’m a fan of Cherry Keepers. I have a couple rings and cages. As a grower, I like the headlock feature on some of the cages that prevents the glans/head from accidental pull-outs. The two main issues I have, which cause me to take the cage off for a break, are ring chafing on the underside of the balls, and the bottom of my glans/head being in too tight a space. I got a headless model thinking it’d help with the glans/head issue and because I thought I might be able to come with vibrator on my exposed glans/head, which I struggle to do through a cage.
I’m pretty happy with the headless cage I got (the black part; link).
The glans/head issue is significantly reduced but not gone all together - I noticed a little discomfort after about 6 hours of wear. Because there’s no cage constraining engorgement of the glans/head, erections cause more pulling in this than a standard cage. I had one painful morning experience. I might look into getting a strap to keep the ring close to my body. The headless cage fits better under clothing
The poke forward is an issue when flaccid, not erect. I’m a grower vs a shower though. I have a small cherry keeper cage (my aforementioned #1 cage–although it’s not perfect for me). I got the same headlock size for the headless cage that I have for my small cage. Before I rule the headless cage out in theory as a cage fit for long-term wear, I’d like to try a smaller headlock. I haven’t yet investigated this enough, but I’m concerned there might be untenable rub of the headlock against the glans that’d cause irritation prohibiting long-term wear (again, not while erect, just while going about daily wear). With the caveats laid out, I tend to see it as more of a for show/ play/ sex/ masturbation cage for now, as opposed to one suited for long-term wear, but I have more research to do.
Thanks for the update, I appreciate it :D (I’m not on reddit). Yeah, overall that sounds positive!
