Which materials should we try?
When selecting a chastity cage, what material is the most suitable? this is a subject that comes up for all players.Which material you choose can have a large impact on your chastity experience, and also change which kinds of cage are available to you.
The three most common kinds of material are metal, silicone and resin(Including hard plastic). Each has it’s own benefits and drawbacks which we’ll cover below.
Metal chastity cages are usually made of stainless steel, and the vast majority are the original color of stainless steel. Sometimes you can find black,gold or Other colors, these colors are electroplated, if you are allergic to electroplating, please be careful with these less common colors, so if you want a specific exterior color, your options are more limited. In general, metal penis cages are much more interesting than other materials because it is easier to make different shapes, designs and patterns with steel.

If you’re looking to be heavily restricted and want something that will stand up to some punishment then this is the right material for you. However if you want something discreet that you can wear all the time you might prefer one of the other materials. |
Silicone chastity cages tend to be the complete opposite of metal, thanks to the soft and flexible material. They can also come in a massive array of different colors so you can find the perfect match for your own style. Silicone cages are usually used as beginners' exercises or daily comfort wear, usually the designs on offer are a bit more limited, so most of the options will offer a more standard look.

They’re also great if you’re looking for an everyday cage that you can wear during a longer lockup thanks to the low weight, and generally discreet designs. |
Resin (Including hard plastic)is the final common material, and tends to fall somewhere between silicone and metal. It’s firmer than silicone so provides more restriction, but not as hard as metal. You’ll still have plenty of designs to choose from, and most are available in several colors. For some slaves it’s the perfect material. With the application of 3D printing technology to chastity devices, the design cycle of plastic chastity devices has been significantly shortened. Designers can quickly turn their ideas into reality and customize production based on customer requirements. Moreover, multiple printers can be used for mass production.

However, the molding process can leave lines and imperfections on some models, so you may need to clean your cage up a bit before using it. |
