#cb3000

But, what was your first cage?

🔏In the 1990s, when I first stumbled across Altairboy and several other resources, I made a few different cages from rubber or metal O rings, leather, plastic, etc. Later, I bought a locking leather & metal "stallion guard" cage from the Stockroom.com (the item is no longer sold, but it resembled a "Gates of Hell" device).

Don't forget, at the time there were not many commercial devices available, so making one's own cages was pretty typical. Mrs Edge and I played with them for a while, but they were not the most attractive.

That changed in the early 2000s when I showed her the CB3000. She liked the clear plastic and the organic looking design. "You have got to get one of these," she told me.

I went through several CB3000 cages because I was able to modify them to be more comfortable and convenient. Eventually I made a stainless steel cuff ring (the plastic ones kept breaking), and I wore it for years, until I started getting into the inexpensive stainless steel cages that were coming onto the market.

I did try a number of other mass produced cages, but kept returning to the CB3000 because it fit well, and was convenient. Later, I spent a summer trying out various Chinese produced cages from Ali Express, but eventually settled on the A272 (I have no idea who the original maker is), and it's been my "permanent cage" for over seven years now.

To the Q: I'm just starting my caged journey, and I'm having trouble with tip irritation from my underwear (CB-3000) and was wondering if you had fabric/brand suggestions, or any advice on dealing with it?

Thank you in advance, love the openness you two have with everyone.

Wow, the CB3000 is still around? That was my longest running cage; I probably went through three of them. I made a solid stainless steel cuff ring for mine, and elongated the hole at the tip to make it easier for peeing at a urinal. I still have one in the back of the closet somewhere, as a "just in case" backup.

However, you're finding that the tip is too open and is allowing your underwear to slip in and rub. Yes, that can be irritating, quite literally.

A kludge - an inelegant solution - might be to put a strip of tape over the opening to prevent the fabric from coming in.

For my normal work day, I wore jeans and BVDs (or that style), so the fabric was already stretched a bit and did not bunch up. I would dress right most days (ie, the cage on the right side of the seam) and the tifbty whiteys gave some support to the cage. If you are wearing boxers or boxer briefs, there may simply be too much fabric in your crotch.

If you are wearing dress pants or khakis, try a snug men's bikini brief that gives more support. Again, the idea is to stretch the fabric around the tip so it doesn't bunch up and move inside.

If you have tried these, it's possible that the CB3000 is too closely formed to your own equipment, and skin is poking out. Have you tried a CB6000? The sloping, narrower tip might keep your skin away from the opening.
