How to Measure for a Chastity Cage: Ultimate Sizing Guide
Choosing the right size for your chastity cage is key to comfort, security, and fully enjoying your chastity experience. Whether you're planning for longer lockups or just starting out, getting the correct chastity device size makes all the difference in avoiding discomfort and enhancing pleasure. This chastity cage sizing guide will walk you through how to measure yourself accurately, ensuring the perfect fit for your unique needs—because the right cage should feel just right.
1. Measure Your Flaccid Penis Length
The length of your chastity cage should align with your flaccid penis size for optimal security and comfort. Follow these steps to measure yourself properly:
- Relax Naturally: Let your penis hang naturally in a fully flaccid state. Measure multiple times throughout the day to find your average flaccid length. Avoid measuring immediately after a hot shower (which can inflate size) or when you’re cold (which can shrink it).
- Take the Measurement: Using a flexible measuring tape, ruler, or string, measure from the base of your penis (where it connects to your body) to the tip of the glans along the top. Ensure the ruler rests lightly without pressing into your skin.
- Pro Tip: For the best fit, choose a cage about 1 cm shorter than your measured length. This snug fit minimizes movement while preventing the cage from hanging too far from your body.
2. Measure Your Penis Diameter for a Secure Fit
Your cage diameter should provide a snug fit to keep everything in place without cutting off circulation. Here’s how to measure your penis girth accurately:
- Wrap It Up: Wrap a flexible tape or string around the midpoint of your flaccid penis. Avoid pulling too tight to ensure accuracy.
- Calculate the Diameter: If using string, mark where it overlaps, measure the string length with a ruler, and divide by 3.14 (Ď€) to find the diameter.
- Choosing Your Cage Diameter: A snug fit enhances security, but if you plan on wearing the cage for extended periods, opt for a slightly looser size to ensure comfort.
3. Base Ring Measurements: Lock It Down Securely
The base ring is what secures your device in place, making this the most critical measurement for comfort and security.
- Measure Around the Base: Wrap the tape or string around the base of your penis and behind your testicles, where the ring will sit. Ensure the fit is snug but not tight.
- Get the Right Fit: Take your circumference measurement and divide it by 3.14 (Ď€) to calculate the diameter.
- Avoid Common Mistakes: Remember that the base ring naturally tightens during erections. If the fit is too tight, it can cause discomfort or restrict circulation.
Why Accurate Sizing Matters
Choosing the right size for your chastity cage and base ring isn’t just about comfort—it’s also about safety. A poorly fitted cage can cause discomfort & irritation, circulation issues, or even slippage. To get it right, use our detailed sizing guide and consider testing with sizing rings for the best results.

Understanding the Ball Gap
The ball gap—the space between the base ring, and the cage—plays a critical role in comfort and security during chastity play. Here’s why it matters:
- Too Small: A gap that’s too tight can cause chafing, burning, or an uncomfortable "tight" feeling in the scrotum–usually, because its butting off circulation or compressing the cords that lead to your balls (Seminiferous tubules).
- Too Large: A larger gap can lead to ball slippage—a situation no one wants! it's uncomfortable and will compromise the effectiveness of the device.
- Adjustable Ball Gap Tip: If you’re using one of our resin cages, you can safely reshape the ring by placing it in hot water. This allows you to adjust the ball gap for improved comfort and security.
Consider Different Base Ring Shapes
Choosing the right base ring isn’t just about size; the shape also impacts comfort, especially for long-term wear. At Caged By Desire, we offer two main ring types:
- Round Rings: A classic option that provides consistent pressure and works well for most users.
- Contoured Oval Rings: Designed to follow the natural contours of the body, these provide extra room for the testicles and can relieve pressure for those who need it. However, they may not be ideal for everyone, as the increased ball gap can lead to slippage.
Final Tips for Measuring for Chastity Cage
- Take Your Time: Rushing through measurements often leads to discomfort later. Test different sizes over a few days to ensure you’ve found the best fit.
- Erections Tolerance: Allow enough room in the base ring to accommodate your flaccid and erect states. A slightly looser ring is safer than one that’s too tight.
- Comfort First: Pay attention to how the device feels during initial wear. If there’s pain, discoloration, or other issues, it’s a sign the fit isn’t right.
