I just ordered a Jailbird from Mature Metal. I am SO excited. It's the first real cage I've purchased. After many false starts and chickening out more than once, I went through with it. My Empress Catherine is on board with it. So, with all of that said - any tips for breaking it in and getting used to it? Ways to prep the skin (lotion, shaving, etc). Let me know what you think is worthwhile.
The mature metal range don't need breaking in - they are solid. But keep skin neatly shaven at all time and get some silicon based lube - a drop or two will do. Enjoy
Or, don’t shave and use a little Bag Balm right after showering. Experiment. You’ll find a routine that works. Go easy at first, and keep an eye out for little abrasions or hot spots. Take a day or two off when that happens to let things heal up well. Keep a small bottle of lanacaine or similar topical analgesic handy. There may be times (especially in cooler weather) when the skin just gets irritated under your ring, and the lanacaine puts a stop to that. Don’t use it to mask any actual redness or broken skin though. Work up to longer lockups and shorter releases, and enjoy the ride. If long term wear is your goal, you’re off to a great start.
Of course the other thing to consider is that a Mature Metal custom cage is an investment and means your serious about chastity. Make sure that badge is worn with honour
