Do you want to know how to measure for a chastity cage? If the answer is yes, you are about to embark on your first BDSM adventure!
Therefore, it is important to know the measurements of the chastity cage to achieve the correct fit.
So, I’m going to show you how to properly measure a chastity cage and the reasons why chastity cage size is so important.
Types of cages for correct chastity cage fit
Knowing how to measure a chastity cage is just as important as finding the right type of cage for you. Whether you choose your own cage or have it chosen by your Dom, there are several different types of chastity cages to choose from. As a result, chastity cage size and ring sizes will vary depending on the material. Here are some of the different types of chastity cages available:
- Steel
- Plastic
- polycarbonate
- Silicone
- Leather
- open sided
- Closed cages
- Inverted chastity cages
- Electroshock cages
- Cages with urethral plugs
- Cages with probe rods.
Why measure a chastity cage?
Measuring a chastity cage ensures a proper fit in all aspects. Now, chastity cages aren’t supposed to be as comfortable as your favorite underwear. No, they are meant to be uncomfortable. However, the adjustment of the chastity cage should not cause abrasions, blisters, or cut off circulation to the penis. Simply put, a chastity cage should be tight enough to not allow an erection.
How should a chastity cage fit?
A chastity cage is constructed with a ring that surrounds both the testicles and the penis. Therefore, measuring the chastity cage is crucial. Secondly, the cage is intended to enclose the penis, from base to tip, with only a small space around the shaft for air flow. Therefore, with the right chastity cage size, you should be able to urinate and go about your day. However, you should not be able to achieve an erection.
And that’s the whole idea of chastity, right?
Measuring a Chastity Cage: Chastity Cage Size
The size of the chastity cage you buy depends on 2 measurements of the chastity cage; the cage itself and the ring. Therefore, you will measure the length and girth of your penis to get the perfect chastity cage fit. And don’t worry! Chastity cages come in all sizes, from small to large. That way, whether you’re short and thick or long and thin, you’ll find the perfect chastity cage size.
The importance of ring size
The size of the chastity cage ring is just as important as the size of the cage, if not more. This is because the ring surrounds the penis and testicles. If the ring is too small, it can cut off circulation and cause permanent damage. Therefore, when obtaining the proper chastity cage measurements, you will need to determine the correct diameter for the ring itself.
Now, the reason for this is that chastity cage rings come in a wide variety of diameters for a perfect and secure chastity cage fit. Fortunately, many manufacturers are now making it easier to get the right chastity cage fit by including different sized rings in a single cage kit.
However, more elaborate rooster cage kits are a little more expensive. So, if you are a beginner to chastity cages, you may want to keep the cost to a minimum until you know what type of cage you like best.
Preparation and Supplies
Now, let’s show you how to measure a chastity cage. First of all, you need to make sure that your penis is completely flaccid. It also helps if you haven’t just showered or have been exposed to cold water. Next, you will need the following supplies to get the correct chastity cage measurements:
- Rope or thick thread
- Marker
- Scissors
- A 12” ruler (or longer)
- Calculator (if you are not the best at math)
Remember, you will need a thicker rope or piece of cord as the chastity cage rings are thick. This simply helps get a closer circumference measurement. Additionally, using a flat ruler to measure is the most effective way to obtain proper chastity cage measurements. This is because measuring tapes do not lie completely flat.
Step 1: Measure your ring size
The first step in measuring a chastity cage is to get the correct ring size. Therefore, make sure you are completely flaccid; think of Aunt Ethel wearing nothing but support stockings, whatever it takes. Next, take a piece of rope and place it behind your testicles. Pass the rope all the way through until it is at the top of your penis.
Now, tie a loose knot in the rope, making sure it is not too tight. You should be able to slide your pinky finger under the thong with little resistance. Then, once you’re sure the thread is comfortable, make a mark on one side of the knot with a marker. Then, carefully cut the rope on the line you drew. Finally, lay the rope flat on the ruler, with the knot at the end.
Now you have the circumference. Therefore, you need to divide that number by 3.14 (pi) and you will have the diameter, which is how you get the size of your chastity cage ring.
Tips for measuring chastity cage ring
It is best to do this 3 times to get the most accurate chastity ring size. For example, measure once in the morning, once at noon, and once at night. Since our bodies fluctuate in size, depending on the time of day, this will give you the best fit in the chastity cage. Then, add the 3 measurements and divide by 3. Then divide that number by 3.14.
Step 2: Measure the length of the chastity cage
Now, you are going to measure the length of your chastity cage. Remember, you don’t want there to be any room to get an erection. Plus, having the tip of your penis touching the end of the cage makes urinating easier and much less messy. Again, make sure your penis is completely flaccid to get the best chastity cage measurement.
Place the ruler under your penis, on top of your testicles, and press it against your pubic bone. Look down and notice the length of your penis. Then, to leave a little breathing room, add ¼ to 1/2″ to that measurement. That’s it!
However, as mentioned in the ring measuring tips, it is best to do it 3 times. Then, add those numbers and divide the total by 3. This will give you the most accurate measurement of the chastity cage.
Step 3: How to measure the diameter
Finally, the last step in knowing how to measure a chastity cage is to measure the circumference of your penis. This is to ensure that you have the best chastity cage that fits in every way. Now, making sure your penis is still flaccid, look down and find the thickest part of your shaft. Please note that it may be the middle or even closer to the tassels.
Next, as you did with the ring measurement, use a piece of thread to wrap the thickest part of your penis. Tie a loose knot, making sure you can easily slide your index finger under the rope. Now, mark the thread on one side of the knot and slide it off your penis before cutting the thread with scissors.
Finally, place the rope over the ruler, with the knot on top. Then, take that number and divide it by pi (3.14) and you will have the diameter you need to ensure the most secure fit of the chastity cage. Again, measuring a chastity cage 3 times and then dividing that number by 3 will give you the most accurate fit.
