Haha, well I have received the cage.
First impression: Much thicker than I thought, and much thicker than I've seen in videos?
Perhaps the "new" 2.0 has a thicker wall? It is sturdy, although I see the ball lock as a flimsy flaw.
They also only provide you with ONE belt, but they do include an extra "tack" for the top.
They included (what seems like a) high quality spring loaded brass lock and 2 steel/aluminum keys.
My balls hang pretty low on a warm day, and they were NO problem pulling through the ring.
I just pulled from the middle of the sack, and they both pop through.
I have taken the cage on and off probably 6 times already and I am not noticing any physical wear.
If I noticed any physical wear from taking it on and off 6 times it'd be back in the package and in my mailbox. VERY fast shipping! I believe it was here in exactly 2 days!
I have been using Vaseline as lube. I know, n00bish idea, but its all I've got for now.
I can comfortably wear the cage for 5-6 hour intervals, with little to no pain.
ALTHOUGH, this last time I put it on, I am experiencing the ball pinch/burn.
Probably from repeated on/off.
My balls have never turned purple, like with my other cage. However, they are a nice red color.
A little lube in the cage before you put it on, and on the ring once you've got it on...
Solve the pinching problems for virtually hours.
Lets see.. what else.. I love the design of this damn cage! I'm in love!
Every time I've put my cock in, its perfectly lined up with the piss hole.
I have taken 4-5 pisses since I've been wearing the cage with absolutely no drip/spray problem.
I can even stand up and pee, which can be a positive or a negative.
The cage was packaged nicely, sealed in a baggy, and even smelled of new latex.
The lock's box had definitely been tampered with, however. It also comes in a neat little sheer nylon black bag that says "Birdlocked Male Chastity Device" on the outside of it. Not good for privacy.
How does it feel once on? Well, its simply amazing. The first "on-purpose" stiffy I got was MAGICAL! It felt EXACTLY how I've always dreamed chastity cages would feel like. Its flexible enough so that you can manually strain you cock and it will flex against the plastic, yet tight and sturdy enough to hug your penis and provide a TEENY bit of that "constant reminder" some of us love. Definitely not a huge reminder though. When walking around naked, I barely notice its on for short periods, but it does hug. And my testicals are being pinched a teeny bit from the ring. Which, I know will get worse and worse the longer you wear, but for today, and for irritating them over and over again, the cage is BY FAR the most comfortable cage I could have ever asked for. (As of today)
On the other hand, it does really throw your balls out there. Similar to a CB, they go through a ring, but the birdlocked ring is much thicker than a CB ring, and there are no spacers. So if you've got thick testicular skin, it may very well get painful very quickly.
Very stylish design. With boxer briefs, I can NOT see the device protrude through semi-tight, cotton shorts at ALL. So I definitely like it for its conceal ability. Fuck my last CB when it comes to that for sure!
And so theres my review. If I left anything out, please let me know.
Tonight I will be wearing it overnight. We'll see how long that lasts! :P
Hopefully I am not knocked unconscious from pain and castrated in some freak fishing accident.
And last, but not least, I have a question for you all. I am now looking for a fair, fun online key holder. Even if she doesnt take the keys, and just directs me when I can and can not take it off. It would be highly, highly appreciated. Thanks for taking an interest guys. Will update!
