Chastity Lifestyle Blog By Experienced Sex Educators

There are countless ways to upgrade and trick out your chastity cage depending on what you want to achieve. Looking for extra security? Need minor tweaks to make long-term wear more comfortable? Want to add a new sensation without committing to a whole new device? Chastity accessories deliver all of that, and these are the best-selling accessories for chastity devices in 2025. Think of these as little luxuries that enhance comfort, security, or sensation without breaking the bank. 1. L and XL Cock Cage U-Rings (Pack of 2) Fun fact: our 2-pack of L and XL Cock Cage U-Rings is the third best-selling product on all of cb-x.com in 2025. Our modular chastity kits come with five U-ring sizes ranging from 1½" to 2", which attach to the base of the cage and fit around the penis and scrotum to secure the device in place. We include multiple sizes because cock cages aren't one-size-fits-all, and first-time chastity wear involves trial and error. However – what many customers don't realize is that we also carry L (2⅛") and XL (2¼") rings sold separately for those who need a larger fit. Make sure to use our sizing guide before purchasing. Customers almost always buy the L and XL 2-pack together unless they're replacing a specific lost or damaged ring. 2. Anti-Pullout Chastity Accessory CB-X prioritizes safety and accessibility, which is why our cages aren't fully inescapable. They're primarily designed for beginners looking for a reliable entry point into chastity. That said, once wearers get comfortable in their cages, the CB-X Anti-Pullout Chastity Accessory takes security to the next level by preventing the penis from slipping backward out of the cage during wear. This accessory is exclusive to cb-x.com and adds an extra layer of control for those ready to level up their experience. 3. Points of Intrigue Think medieval torture chamber, but portable. CB-X Points of Intrigue are spiked inserts that sit inside the chastity device, creating discomfort during arousal, but without any injury. When the wearer becomes aroused, the spikes provide a sharp reminder to stay focused. Customers love them for adding psychological intensity and physical feedback that reinforces the denial experience. 4. Keyholder Deluxe Clear Key Lockbox With Timed Lock Perfect for solo players or anyone without a dedicated keyholder. This clear lockbox for chastity keys secures your chastity key with a programmable timer, giving you control while removing the temptation to cheat. Set the timer, lock yourself in, and ride it out. No keyholder required. 5. Single-Use Individually Numbered Plastic Locks Great for travel (TSA-friendly), beginners who aren't ready for metal locks, and situations where you need proof the cage hasn't been tampered with. Each plastic chastity lock is numbered, so Keyholders can verify the same lock is still in place. Convenient, discreet, and practical. Available in a 10-pack or a 30-pack.  The Finer Point The right accessories turn a functional cage into a fully customized setup. From better fit to tighter security to sensations that keep things interesting, these five products sold best in 2025 because they actually improve the chastity experience. Start with what solves your biggest challenge and build on that.

If chastity devices are new to you, the concept of comfortable confinement might seem contradictory, especially when it comes to sleeping while locked in a chastity cage. For those who may be wondering if it's possible to sleep comfortably in a chastity cage, you aren't alone! This is one of the most frequently asked questions that we receive. Here’s the first thing you might not know about chastity cage comfort and sleeping:  A properly fitted chastity device should never cause persistent pain or discomfort, especially during sleep. If you're experiencing significant discomfort at night, it's likely a sizing issue rather than something you need to "get used to."  The truth is, responsible chastity device manufacturers prioritize safety and comfort, allowing you to focus on the psychological aspects rather than battling physical problems. Whether you and/or your partner prefer short sessions, extended lockdowns, or decide that locking your thing in a thing isn’t your thing, all are valid. Your chastity experience doesn't need to match someone else's timeline or experience level. The only “right” approach is the one that works for you, your goals, your body, your lifestyle, and your relationship.  In this blog, we break down everything you need to know about sleeping comfortably in a cock cage, peppered with real user experiences for good measure.  For supplemental reading, we suggest opening a separate browser window and referencing our Chastity Size Guide for proper cock cage measuring tips you don’t want to skip. Should I Try Sleeping in Chastity?  What is your “why”? Before attempting to sleep in a chastity cage for the first time, consider your current situation, and determine your primary reason for wearing a cock cage, alone or with a partner. Some questions to consider:  Are you doing it just for the fun of it? Is chastity something you see as part of everyday life?  Are you doing it for better sex?  Do you prefer day play only?  Are you cool with a little bit of suffering?  Once you determine your primary reasons or ultimate purpose for chastity, discuss your boundaries and the potential benefits of sleeping in chastity.  This brings us to... Why Do People Like to Sleep in a Chastity Cage? There is no universal rule that requires anyone to sleep in a chastity cage. However, many lifestyle chastity enthusiasts enjoy a spectrum of benefits to staying locked in a chastity cage overnight. Here are ten reasons why some folks like to sleep in their chastity device. Sleeping overnight in a chastity cage is less effort for the Keyholder who has to lock & unlock your cage all day.  Mild discomfort while sleeping demonstrates devotion, commitment, and/or fidelity to a spouse or KH. Elevates the psychological aspect of chastity and submission by reminding you that your cock isn’t your own.  The continuity of long-term lockdown establishes control for the KH, can help create confidence, and will give them the warm & fuzzies that come from seeing you give yourself in this way.  Self-locked chastity wearers might enjoy the wrapping/squeezing sensation that happens during the day, and when they're sleeping. Sleeping with a cock cage feels more like an extension of the wearer’s body versus an accessory.  Non-negotiable training tool for the transition from occasionally locked for several hours at a time, to long-term or permanent chastity.  The pleasure of waking up with morning wood straining against your cock cage.  The anticipation of waking up and wondering if you’re going to receive a reward. The ache of nocturnal erections serves as a reminder of an erotic agreement with your Keyholder, spouse, Master or Mistress.  Sleeping in Chastity: Safety Tips Watch for circulation issues like discoloration or severe discomfort. When in doubt, unlock right away. Your safety and well-being is always the priority.  Make sure to keep your cage clean to eliminate any lingering bacteria.  What’s not normal: cuts, abrasions, bleeding, swelling, or discoloration. If you experience any of these side effects, remove the cage immediately and take proper steps to heal your skin before reinstalling your chastity device.  Find a cage that you can sleep in, rather than assume the uncomfortable cage is fine and you need to adjust to it. Unless pain is part of your kink! User Feedback: Personal Preference "I believe that our bodies go through nocturnal erections for a reason, and I don’t want to impede penis health as my wife very much wants her toy strong and able to please her whenever she wants. We’re not into the whole “no more pussy for you” approach. But some are, and to each their own. Tailor your experience to your own needs.” Sleeping in Chastity: Common Issues Common Issue #1: The cage feels way too tight during sleep. “Something isn’t right.” Solution: Before sleeping in a cage for the first time (and we cannot overstate this), triple-check to ensure that your cage size is correct.  Common Issue #2: You experience pinching or abrasions to the skin after accidentally falling asleep in your cage, or attempting to wear it overnight.  Solution: Size up! For example, for those wearing our best-selling CB-6000S chastity device, consider sizing up to the CB-6000. Fun fact: the “S” in CB-6000S stands for “shorter”! Or, if you're wearing our extra extra small Mini-Me micro cock cage, consider sizing up to Mr. Stubb. If you already have the CB-X base ring setup, you can easily swap a new cage without having to start from scratch again. All of our male cock cages are also available for purchase in a cage-only design so you can mix and match to your cock's content! Common Issue #3: You wake up with a painful erection. Solution: Go pee if you need to, roll over on your back, side, or stomach, or try removing sheets and blankets to eliminate extra physical contact.  Common Issue #4: You experience some regret after purchasing a cheap, low-quality chastity cage. Hindsight is 20/20.... Many people choose to purchase a cheap knockoff chastity cage online as a test run before investing in a premium cock cage like a CB male chastity device. This *will* come back to bite (pinch) you on the ass (penis).  We see this scenario alllll the time:  First, the buyer chooses to purchase a cheap replica chastity device from an online retailer that doesn’t specialize in BDSM or chastity (for example, a website that rhymes with Callywahwah). Next, they found that the chastity cage from said website felt too rigid, sharp, and/or painful. Then, the wearer determines that wearing a chastity cage was way too uncomfortable, and they abandon the chastity journey before it starts because of a bad experience -- OR -- the wearer finds CB-X online, researches our materials, quality guarantee, and chats with our customer service team for tips. Ultimately, the buyer decides to purchase a customizable CB-X chastity kit to avoid the issue from happening again. Takeaway: 9 times out of 10, purchasing an inexpensive knockoff–and having a subpar experience–will bring you back to CB-X. At that point, you’ve wasted money and time, and sacrificed comfort and safety. Don’t take the risk.  Solution: Take the leap and prioritize quality when you invest in a chastity cage, because quality means comfort. (As “comfortable” as comfortable can be in a cock cage.) Common Issue #5: You wake up throbbing & feeling unreasonably horny. Solution: Consider wearing a comfortable prostate stimulator overnight. It can help manage those intense nocturnal urges that might otherwise interrupt your rest. Common Issue #6: You wake up in the middle of the night with a potential burning sensation, and feel like the scrotal skin has been stretched to its limit.  Solution: Apply a light layer of long-lasting lube to the u-ring and inside of the cage to help eliminate chafing and ensure comfortable movement during extended wear. We recommend Gun Oil Silicone Lubricant.  User Feedback: Size Matters “You likely won’t know your ring size perfectly until you try a couple of different ring sizes. Get a chastity kit that gives you several ring sizes. The ball gap makes a difference, but knowing roughly your base ring size is a great start.” Bonus Tips: How to Stay Comfortable in a Male Chastity Device Overnight If possible, keep your chastity cage keys handy in case of an emergency.  Avoid drinking liquids for 1-2 hours before bed. Make sure to urinate before getting in bed.  Mist the cock with a fast-acting, topical penis desensitizer that contains lidocaine or benzocaine to help suppress sensations.  Sleep on your back. Alternatively, if you wake up with a nocturnal erection, try rolling over and sleeping on your side.  Sleep in clothing or under warm blankets. Warmth naturally helps the testicles hang looser and lower, resulting in more comfortable positioning. Alternatively, sleeping naked can reduce contact with sheets and eliminate the risk of getting tangled in blankets or having the cage create pressure against the base ring. Know that if you partake in any edging or sexual activity before bed, you’re definitely gonna wake up with an aching bulge at least once in the middle of the night.  User Feedback: U-Ring or Cock Ring? “If the base ring is just a little bit too small, it works like a cock ring. This leads to a vicious circle of getting aroused where my blood flow is restricted by the base ring. It happens more at night than during the day.” Why Choose A CB-X Chastity Device Finding the right chastity cage size for you isn't a one-size-fits-all process. To save you time and hassle, five different u-ring sizes come with every CB-X Chastity Cage Kit, so that you can experiment risk-free. Not sure about permanent chastity? We get it! That’s why we also include a set of plastic disposable locks in addition to a brass Master padlock with keys. All individual Chastity Cage Parts are also sold separately in case you need a specific replacement in the future.  User Feedback: CB-X Love “When I first started over a decade ago, I wore a CB-6000S for over a year 24/7, except for deep cleaning, beyond daily showering and soaking. I recommend the CB-6000S as a good starter cage! You will learn about ring sizes, lubes, and what makes a cage comfortable. CB-X helped my Keyholder/wife and I safely & comfortably learn about the chastity lifestyle, and that we wanted more!” Reminders for the Road Yes, you will get used to sleeping in your chastity cage if it fits correctly. Expect at least 1-2 weeks to acclimate. For some people, it can take years to achieve full comfort during sleep. No, sleeping in a cock cage isn’t supposed to feel pleasant 100% of the time. Yes, a nocturnal erection in a cock cage will likely feel less pleasant compared to an arousal-driven erection.

Yes, CB-X male chastity devices are designed to keep you comfortable day and night, whether you're hitting the gym or hitting the pillow. Read real, honest CB-X user reviews here. User Feedback: Success Story “The nighttime erections were the worst thing to get used to for me. After years, it no longer bothers me in the least. If you do not have every measurement correct, sleeping will not be comfortable. Most important: Gap ring size, ring shape, tube length (not really that important), and tube diameter. I spent months getting it right. Once it was right, it was fantastic.”  Trust your instincts, communicate openly with your partner, and remember that exploring your desires is about discovering what brings you the highest level of personal fulfillment.  Do what suits you. Nothing more, nothing less.  We want to hear your thoughts on sleeping in chastity. Do you do it? How did you get comfortable, and how do you stay comfortable?

Summer travel season is here, and if you've never gone to the airport while being locked in a chastity device, you've probably wondered about airport security procedures. This topic generates some debate in the chastity community, with varying experiences and occasional conflicting advice from airline travelers.  For this deep dive, we've put together a comprehensive study based on real, unfiltered feedback directly from TSA agents and airport security personnel, combined with real-life travel experiences from chastity device wearers.  This guide on how to travel with a chastity cage presents the complete picture from both sides of the security checkpoint. We present these research findings without judgment, bias, or shame. Just real opinions, lived experiences, and commonly asked questions to help chastity wearers make confident, informed decisions.  For supplemental reading, we suggest cross-referencing with TSA Security Screening Guidelines while reading this blog, which explains everything you need to know about how to travel while wearing a chastity device.  Don't be nervous. A smooth flight is in your future.  Question: “What's the difference between TSA screening methods?” According to TSA’s Official Guidelines, metal detectors only detect metal objects. Body scanners (Advanced Imaging Technology) can detect non-metallic items that differ from natural body contours. TSA PreCheck lanes typically use metal detectors. Standard airport security lanes may use either metal detectors or body scanners depending on airport configuration and passenger flow. Airport security operates on a tiered system that many travelers don't fully understand, creating false expectations about consistency. PreCheck lanes weren't designed with privacy in mind. They often use older technology, making them inadvertently more compatible with certain devices. However, security protocols change based on threat levels, staffing, and equipment maintenance, so today's successful chastity cage TSA experiences don’t always guarantee tomorrow's outcome. The ‘wild card’ element of randomized security screening creates uncertainty for travelers with special considerations like chastity cages.  All airports operate as individual security ecosystems with different equipment, policies, and interpretation of federal guidelines. This helps explain why experiences can vary between airport locations. The human factor also influences outcomes, as some TSA agents strictly follow protocols while others exercise discretion based on experience and training variations across different TSA regions. Question: “Is my chastity cage safe for TSA?” There can be a lot of confusion surrounding chastity device detection and the TSA security process. This confusion often stems from inconsistent information, and varying airport configurations. What many travelers who wear a chastity cage might not know is that TSA screening technology is constantly evolving, with newer millimeter wave scanners designed to detect anomalies in body contours versus just metallic objects. This technological shift explains why some user experiences about "plastic cages are safe" doesn't always universally apply. Airport-specific factors play a role because smaller regional airports may still rely heavily on metal detectors, while major hubs use advanced imaging technology as their primary screening method. The material science behind cock cage detection involves electromagnetic signatures and density variations that create inconsistent results even within the same device category, making blanket statements about "safe" materials unreliable. Traveler Experiences: “I've worn a plastic cage through TSA PreCheck without issue. I knew the scanner would be a metal detector, and that the little padlock wouldn't trip the alarm. The device I wore was the CB-6000 and it's commonly available. I wouldn't want to try wearing it through the wave scanner thing because I imagine it could be detected there.” “I have heard several people say that metal detectors will always find metal. That is NOT true. In fact, my jewelry is never detected and I have 8 ounces of large gauge stainless steel. The millimeter wave scanners will see just about any foreign object - that is where a cage would be difficult to conceal. Get Global Entry or PreCheck to reduce one's chances of tripping a detector. Yet that is not a guarantee to avoid discovery.”  “To my knowledge, wearing a chastity device breaks no rules or laws. In my personal experience, a plastic or resin cage with either a barrel lock or hasp padlock doesn’t set off metal detectors. That said, I’ve seen different airports with different sensitivity settings.  I have PreCheck, I don’t go through the body scanners. (Little known fact, you can request to not be body scanned. They do manual patdown and use the wand.) But always plan extra time (30-60 minutes) if you wear your cage through TSA, in case they ask you into a room to show what you’re wearing.”  “The metal detector was fine. I ended up using the brass lock instead of the plastic one on my trip back."  TSA Agent Perspectives:  "Even if the penis chastity device is plastic, it will still alarm. Our machines aren't looking for only metal. They are looking for any alternative material."  “A plastic chastity device by itself would not trigger an alarm. Get a cage that is metal-free and sign up for TSA PreCheck. The cage won't set off the metal detector and you will very rarely get randomly selected for the body scanner.” Considerations:  Use a plastic or silicone cock cage if you plan to wear it through airport security. Be sure to use CB-X individually-numbered plastic chastity locks, available in a 10-Pack and a 30-Pack (for the world traveler!) Research your departure airport's typical screening methods. CB-X Guarded Galaxy Glitter Chastity Cages are perfect for vacation! However, even though they are made from plastic, the glitter particles might trigger metal detectors. Bonus Testimonies from Airline Personnel:  “I am a pilot. My barrel lock has never set off a metal detector. That being said, traveling without a key or a way out isn’t a good idea in case of an emergency. I use an airlock and a tag. Not once has it been an issue.” “From a sissy flight attendant always in chastity, my plastic cage with plastic locks always goes undetected for me 😜. Zip locks that are numbered on the road from the Mrs. and then a switch to metal lock when home.” Click here to browse Chastity Cages, Locks & Spare Parts for Airline Travel Question: “Should I remove my chastity cage before going through airport security?” The removal debate reflects deeper questions about risk tolerance, relationship dynamics, and lifestyle priorities that extend beyond airport convenience. What makes this decision particularly complex is the intersection of personal autonomy, security compliance, and practical logistics in an environment designed for standardization rather than individual accommodation.  The psychological aspect of temporary chastity cage removal varies significantly among wearers. For some, it can be a minor inconvenience. For others, it can fundamentally disrupt the intended chastity experience. Keyholders may be faced with balancing security practicality with lifestyle goals, which often require negotiations about emergency protocols and temporary modifications.  Traveler Experiences: “A TSA agent’s desire not to see people express themselves is not greater than a person's right to do so.” “Between the flight being a work-booked trip, having several other people with me the whole time, and my cage being metal, I took precautions and did not wear it through TSA. I removed the base ring from its place in my laptop bag. The cage itself I pulled from the inner lining of my suitcase, which made the trip as a checked bag. A brass lock was in my toiletry bag in the suitcase. Lastly, the key was on my key ring with my car and house keys. With all four pieces removed, I started up the water. With hot water running, I cleaned off, before using body wash as a lubricant to slide the ring and cock cage on.” “TSA agents are paid to search you top to bottom to ensure you aren't carrying anything illegal. We have the right to express ourselves even while traveling through TSA as long as it’s not illegal.” “Would you rather speed through security, than have to deal with extra scrutiny?”  TSA Agent Perspectives: “If you wear a male chastity cage and the alarm goes off, it will slow down the process for everyone else. How would you feel if someone in front of you made you wait in line longer? Just from a polite point of view, it makes sense to just put it on after you go through security.” “There is a difference between TSA seeing it in a checked bag, and having to physically see you wearing it. In the bag, the item is not attached to the penis. Even if they have to search your bag, they won’t need to see you wearing it so the exposure to your kink on an unwilling participant is minimal and no worse than having to check a vibrator.” “Do not wear your chastity cage through security. It will set off the metal detectors or the body scanner, and it will be one of the rare circumstances where the passenger wearing the device will be taken to private screening so the officers can make sure it is not a weapon. TSA does not do any pat downs under clothes or regularly ask people to remove clothing, except for situations like this when we need to clear a certain area. It wastes your time and ours, and it also exposes us to your kinks. That is a whole other discussion about the morality and decency of forcing [chastity] onto strangers non-consensually. For our purposes, please leave it in your bag.” Considerations: Coordinate with your Keyholder if necessary about temporary removal protocols. Pack your male chastity device components in separate areas of your luggage for security. Use CB-X brass locks with brass keys if you choose the packing route, or use our individually-numbered plastic locks if you prefer to wear your cage through security. Plan reassembly logistics at your destination (private bathroom, hotel room). Pack a travel-friendly sized lubricant in your carry-on bag for comfortable reinstallation after security.  Question: “What happens If I wear my cock cage through airport security and get selected for additional screening?” The additional screening process reveals the complexity of balancing security, privacy, and dignity within federal guidelines that weren't written with chastity devices in mind! What distinguishes successful encounters from problematic ones often involves understanding TSA agent psychology. TSA professionals deal with potential threats daily and approach anomalies with trained skepticism. They are also human beings who appreciate honesty and cooperation. The escalation protocols exist because TSA agents have limited authority, meaning they can observe and report, but they cannot make final determinations about unusual items without supervisory approval. Private screening rooms serve dual purposes: protecting passenger dignity and providing controlled environments where supervisors can make informed decisions without public scrutiny. The documentation requirements that sometimes emerge during these encounters relate to liability concerns and federal reporting standards. And, while our research does reveal some personal biases on behalf of TSA, that is not the case for every agent.  Traveler Experiences:  “I’ve been through security in steel, titanium, and plastic (all within the last 2 months). The plastic and titanium caused no issues and didn’t trigger the machine. The steel 100% will. The airports I went through were easy and professional for the patdown, but that will vary based on the agent. On top of that, the pat down adds an extra 20-30 minutes to your security time. So if you’re transferring between flights, it could cause you to miss a connection. I recommend plastic if you 1000% can’t be delayed.” "I mentioned 'I have metal I can't remove…’. They were confused by this but took me to a private room."  "They called for a supervisor, I showed it to him too, explained again, and he let me go on my way." TSA Agent Perspectives:  "You will receive a pat down. The officer will feel that, and even if you tell them it's a chastity cage, we aren't paid to take you at your word."  “If you come through the scanner and it alarms on your groin, just tell the officer "I've got a chastity cage on, so we are going to need to go to private screening" or something like that. Don't just stand there getting patted down and be like "nope, nothing there" when what we are feeling is very obviously not the normal equipment.” “Officers get no enjoyment from patting people down (except for the few officers that have power trips, and I can't do anything about them sadly). Personally, I do not view someone with a chastity cage or other device that locks as forcing their "kink" on me. I view that as just who that person is.” Considerations:  Arrive at the airport early, and add 30-45 minutes to your normal timeline. Before going through the body scanner, alert an agent: "I'm wearing a personal device that cannot be removed" if questioned. Request a private screening if you prefer discretion. Ask for a supervisor if you feel uncomfortable with the interaction. (De)parting Thoughts From a broader perspective, the “chastity and TSA” conversation is one example of how the kink community navigates mainstream institutions and public systems that operate on standardized assumptions about human behavior. Still debating whether to do it or not? Here are a few closing words from the chastity community: “If the government (TSA is the part of the government) is forcing my body to be inspected, I don’t think the government should have the right to tell anyone not to wear a cage.” “It's nothing they haven't seen before.” “TSA consented when they took the job of seeing things.” Just like wearing a chastity device in your day-to-day life, wearing it for airline travel is a personal choice. What we do know, thanks to consistent, honest user feedback, is that CB-X chastity cages and parts are the next best thing to naked.  Is your chastity TSA travel routine on lock?
