Complete 2026 Guide to Choosing and Wearing Chastity Cages

Are you curious about the allure of submission and the sweet torment of denial? Then buckle up (or more precisely, lock it up), and prepare to explore the fascinating world of chastity cages.

Whether you're ready to hand over the key to your mistress or secretly explore, this blog will cover everything you need to know about getting into the cage.

How to Choose Your First Cage: Silicone vs. Acrylic

The first step in buying the right chastity cage is selecting the material, but without guidance, it can be not easy to know where to start.

With decades of experience in chastity play, we consider ourselves somewhat of an expert—let us guide you in the right direction.

Silicone Chastity Cages

Silicone chastity cages are perfect for beginners who want to experience the thrill of restriction without the complicated setup. We love recommending silicone cages for newcomers because they are easy to wear, affordable, and don't require complex measurements before buying.

Pros:

• No need for measurements before purchasing
• Soft, flexible, and lightweight
• More comfortable than rigid cages—but this may be a drawback if you want a higher degree of discomfort in your chastity experience.
• Easy to clean
• Quick and easy to wear and remove (ideal for those who want to start by wearing the cage and then remove it).
• Great for solo play
• Discreet in public settings
• Perfect for short-term wear

Cons:

• Not breathable
• Must be removed for cleaning, requiring regular maintenance
• Needs to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear
• No lock and key mechanism

Silicone cages are an excellent choice for those new to the world of chastity (and a perfect impulse purchase)! With fewer components to assemble, they are quick to wear, helping to ease the anxiety of first-time wearers.

Acrylic Chastity Cages

That said, silicone cages are not for everyone. Another excellent choice for beginners is acrylic chastity cages. Acrylic cages provide the intense, thrilling experience that many chastity enthusiasts crave. A true submissive loves the feeling of denial, and there's nothing more exhilarating than handing over the key to someone you trust completely.

Pros:

• Adjustable, fits various body types
• Rigid and enclosed
• Includes lock and key
• More breathable than silicone cages

Cons:

• Measurements are required before purchasing
• Needs regular cleaning with long-term wear
• Harder to get used to

Why do some people prefer acrylic cages over silicone? While silicone cages do provide a sense of restraint, they aren't as rigid as acrylic or metal cages, so the sense of restraint isn't as intense. For many chastity enthusiasts, discomfort is a critical aspect of the experience.

Preparing to Lock Up

Let's get you locked up! Before placing the cage, consider the following tips to minimize unnecessary discomfort.

Shaving

Unsurprisingly, it's a good idea to trim your hair, especially before wearing a rigid acrylic cage. How much to shave depends on you. Long hair can catch in the cage, so trimming the hair around the cage can help minimize this issue. However, hair can still catch, so we recommend shaving completely for a smoother experience.

Clean Your Cage

Before inserting your parts into the cage, clean it thoroughly! If you don't maintain your chastity cage, it will soon begin to stink. You don't know what your cage has gone through before you bought it, so clean it up first!

Prepare Lubricant/ Lotion

Without the proper lubricant, you won't be able to get the chastity cage on properly. We recommend using a water-based lubricant or lotion. We personally prefer the water-based lube from Fuckwater, as it's smooth, absorbs into the skin, and doesn't leave a sticky residue.

Stay Flaccid!

For many, this is the most challenging part. If it's your first time wearing a chastity cage or you're not familiar with chastity, controlling your arousal might be challenging. Some suggest masturbating before wearing the cage, using cold water or ice cubes, or imagining things that repulse you. If you have trouble with this, we recommend checking out Reddit for some helpful advice.

How to Wear a Silicone Chastity Cage

As we mentioned earlier, silicone cages are much easier to wear than acrylic cages, making the process straightforward.

Step 1) Lubricate the inside of the cage.

Gently apply lubricant inside the cage.

Step 2) Insert one ball at a time.

Place each testicle into the cage one at a time, whether the cage has an opening for the ball to hang freely or it's enclosed.

Step 3) Insert your penis into the cage.

Do not use silicone-based lubricants—silicone-based lubes are incompatible with other silicone products!

That's it! As we said earlier, silicone cages are simple and easy to use.

How to Wear an Acrylic Chastity Cage

Before putting on the cage, there are a few things to do: file any sharp edges if necessary; if your cage has rings in multiple sizes, select the correct one.

Step 1) Lubricate

Before you put anything on, gently apply lubricant inside the ring and cage.

Step 2) Insert your testicles into the ring, one at a time.

Unless the ring has come off or doesn't open properly, in that case, place the ring behind the balls and shaft.

For many, this is the most challenging part. Some people have higher or tighter scrotums, while others have looser ones. The former can make it harder to pass the testicles through the ring.

Step 3) Insert your penis through the ring

You must remain flaccid during this step; otherwise, it will be much more difficult.

Step 4) Add a spacer to the ring (optional)

If your testicles are positioned high and tight, you may need to add a spacer between the ring and the cage.

Step 5) Connect the cage to the ring.

Before connecting the cage to the ring, make sure to line up the pinhole with the pin. Be careful not to pinch any skin.

Step 6) Lock it up!

The last step is also the most exciting for most: lock the key! Ensure the key is stored safely, whether it's hidden in your bedroom or handed over to someone else.

The Feel of Wearing a Chastity Cage

Wearing a chastity cage is a unique experience that blends discomfort, frustration, and pleasure. While you may feel physical pain, your mind is filled with the thrilling pleasure of denial. By depriving yourself of the usual pleasures, you get to experience the hidden joys of refusal. Giving up control means gaining freedom, especially when it is under someone else's control.

Your chastity cage should fit snugly against your body. For even greater security, consider using a chastity belt accessory. There should be no significant gap between your penis and the cage. It should feel as if a hand is always holding it. If you feel aroused while being restricted by the cage, you'll feel discomfort (which is the point!). At first, you might be more sensitive than usual, which is entirely normal—you'll need time to adjust to the sensation of wearing a chastity cage.

If you notice your skin turning a different color, or experience numbness or tingling, or the cage is too far from your body, that means the size of your cage is incorrect.

Conclusion:

Choosing a chastity cage is about balancing comfort, security, and personal preference. By selecting the right material, size, and design, you can ensure that your chastity journey is both challenging and pleasurable. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, the right chastity cage can offer you a unique and exciting experience.
