Product Description
Overview
The Contender is described as a traditional birdcage-style chastity device. It is designed to provide a secure and adjustable fit, catering to individual sizing requirements.
Construction & Materials
The Contender is constructed from 316L surgical steel, which is noted for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The device is available with options for different locking mechanisms, including padlocks and security screws, to suit user preferences.
Design & Fit
The design of the Contender is a full-coverage cage that secures the shaft, with some users opting for a PA upgrade to enhance security. Users report that the Contender offers a custom fit, with dimensions tailored to their specific measurements. One user appreciated Mark's (the company's owner) willingness to work collaboratively on sizing, noting: "The guy who makes these does a great job walking you through the sizing. He disagreed with my initial sizing and got me to carefully check everything. He was right that I gave too large a diameter and got me to check the base ring sizing too. Because of this I ended up with a correctly sized device."
The Contender is sized around 2.5 inches in length and unlike many other ball-trap designs, the cage sticks "out" rather than "down," making it a little more challenging to conceal, with one user noting, "it does show slightly with tighter pants.
User Experiences
Community discussions reveal a mix of positive and critical feedback regarding the Contender. Many users appreciate the craftsmanship and personalized fitting process, citing the device's solid construction and prompt delivery times. The consultative experience with the maker, Mark, is often praised, although some users mention the dated appearance of the website and limited product range as potential drawbacks. Users also appreciate the relative light weight of the Contender compared to other steel cage. One reviewer noted that the Contender felt significantly lighter than Mature Metal's Jail Bird, which he also owned.
On the other hand, some users have expressed concerns about the comfort of long-term wear, particularly in relation to the ball trap mechanism. One Reddit user mentioned, "For me everyday wear seems only a minor inconvenience with very little pain. the ring is always the issue for me." Specifically, there have been reports of pinching in certain circumstances (for example, in wearing jeans when the cage is pressed more tightly against the body. However, these issues are often attributed to individual sizing errors rather than inherent design flaws. Overall, the Contender is regarded as a reliable option for those seeking a custom chastity solution, especially when compared to standard off-the-shelf devices.
