As I sit here at home while Minxy is working, my first experience with a stainless steel butt plug inside me, I am contemplating a new chastity cage. The Steelheart from Steelworxx to be exact.
The reason behind my desire for a new cage is that my first attempt at a custom chastity device, the Jail Bird from Mature Metal. As with most men, I have ego problems and didn’t follow the measurement instructions to the letter. As a result of my ego, I over-estimated some of my measurements which has resulted in a cage that fits, but not as snuggly as it probably should based on the measurement instructions.
So as a result of my ego, I am considering a new chastity cage, one with more realistic measurements that will fit me the way a chastity cage should, however I am also looking for a new look as well, possibly with the ability to have a more secure fixture since I have been thinking about getting a Prince Albert piercing. The Steelheart becomes a more secure device with the addition of a Prince Albert piercing and the PA Fixing.
I do have a few concerns with the Steelheart particularly hygiene reasons, but at the same time I am a tight arse when it comes to money. The Steelheart is cheaper than the Jail Bird with the current exchange rate here in Australia. But I am also leaning towards the Steelheart because I love the enclosed look of the device, so I am still in two minds about which way to lean.
Do I go with looks and price, or purely hygiene? That is where I am currently stuck.
I’d know that handsome tube anywhere. 😉
It is such a recognisable tube. It is one of the reasons I am leaning towards the Steelheart.
How about a Revenge like we have? It has an open end for a little more hygiene stuff but it still gets stinky in it. Also, he tends to get all red from the moisture being caught in there. It’s a lot of maintenance. We can’t do the Revenge long term without him removing it for cleaning.
I’m a bit like Thumper in a way, I love the totally enclosed look that the Steelheart has, but yes I am worried about hygiene. More so because I’m uncircumcised as well. But I can’t see myself wearing it for more than a week at a time.
Can I suggest a Steelheart 2? I have a Steelheart 2 that was originally a Steelheart (sent it back to Deitmar for modification), as for me, keeping a decent level hygiene in the steelheart was too difficult. So much easier in the Steelheart 2 as its more open – but not too open! I also opted for a couple of different sized rings – a 42 and 40mm. I seem to recall Thumper stating that you need smaller rings with these steel devices compared to plastic and I can vouch for that. Its a great device and at times I completely forget that I am wearing it.
To be honest, I’m still not sure I’m going to go through with purchasing a new device. I like the look of the Steelheart, but it is hard to justify a new device given I don’t wear it anywhere near as often as the likes of Thumper.
I still have some more soul searching to do about whether I can really justify a new device.
