Why Size Matters
Choosing the right chastity cage size makes or breaks your experience. A cage that’s too tight can pinch, restrict circulation, and cause pain. Too loose, and you risk slipping out or getting partial erections that defeat the purpose. But with the right fit, chastity becomes comfortable, safe, and deliciously effective.

This beginner chastity cage guide will walk you through how to measure for a chastity cage, explain the role of a chastity cage size chart, and share tips so you start your journey the right way.
Measuring Yourself: Step by Step
Forget guesswork—measure properly and you’ll avoid 90% of the common mistakes beginners make. You’ll need a soft tape or a piece of string plus a ruler. Always measure when flaccid.
Flaccid Penis Length (Cage Length)
Stand naturally and measure from the base of your penis (where it meets your body) to the tip. Take several measurements at different times of day—your flaccid size changes depending on temperature and arousal. Use your shortest flaccid length as your baseline. A cage that matches this snugly prevents movement and keeps you securely denied.

Girth / Shaft Diameter
Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your shaft while it's soft. If you only get the circumference, divide by 3.14 (π) to calculate the diameter. For example, a 90 mm circumference works out to about a 29 mm diameter, so you’d choose a cage opening around 30–32 mm.

Base Ring Size
This measurement is crucial for both comfort and security. Loop the tape behind your scrotum and around the base of your penis. It should feel snug but not painfully tight—you should be able to slip one finger underneath. Standard sizes are 40 mm, 45 mm, and 50 mm. If you’re in between, beginners are usually better off going slightly larger to avoid circulation issues.

Why Proper Sizing Matters
- Comfort – The right fit allows you to wear your cage for hours—or even days—without constant irritation.
- Safety – A base ring that’s too tight can cut off circulation. One that’s too loose risks slippage or even letting a testicle escape.
- Effectiveness – The goal is secure denial. A cage that hugs your flaccid size prevents cheating or partial erections inside.
Think of sizing as the foundation of your chastity journey. Get it right, and you’ll barely notice the device day-to-day—apart from that delicious reminder of being locked up.
Styles & Materials
Not all cages feel the same. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s on offer:
Plastic or Resin Cages: Lightweight, discreet, and usually bundled with multiple ring sizes, these are excellent for beginners. They’re affordable and comfortable, but can be less durable over time.
Metal Cages: Metal options are heavier, stronger, and almost impossible to break out of. They’re easy to clean and durable, but more noticeable under clothing and less travel-friendly. Many seasoned users swear by the security and weight of metal.
Silicone Cages: Soft and flexible, silicone devices are extremely comfortable and forgiving during erections. The downside is they’re easy to escape from and not as secure. These work best for testing chastity or for very casual play.
Open vs. Closed Designs: Open cages (often metal) allow airflow, easier cleaning, and even teasing through the bars. Closed cages offer maximum denial and are more discreet under clothes, but can trap heat and moisture—meaning you’ll need to remove them more often for cleaning.
Tips for First-Time Users
Your first cage can feel exciting, awkward, and sometimes uncomfortable. Here’s how to ease in:
- Start small: Don’t lock up for days immediately. Begin with a few hours, then build up.
- Lubricate: Apply a little water-based lube on the base ring to prevent chafing.
- Stay clean: Wash daily. Open cages can be rinsed in the shower; closed ones need removing every few days.
- Night erections: Expect some pressure. Pee before bed, wear snug underwear, and don’t be afraid to use a slightly larger ring at night.
- Trim hair: Less chance of painful pulls in hinges or locks.
- Have an emergency key: Whether you’re self-locking or playing with a partner, always keep a backup plan for safety.
