Easy-To-Follow Chastity Hygiene Tips. For a Clean and Comfortable Caged Life

Remote Controlled Electro-Shock Chastity Cage

Keeping your cock and balls clean while locked up should never been an afterthought. In fact, chastity hygiene and how easily you can clean your cage can be the difference between feeling comfortable in your device and putting your health at risk. That sounds dramatic. But as you’ll soon discover, chastity cage cleaning is an important part of playing safely.

Covered in this article:

• The risks of not washing your device and what can happen to your body
• How often you should wash and when is a good time.
• Tips for navigating your time out of the cage.
• General cock cage cleaning advice.

Before specifically discussing genital hygiene let’s understand why washing at all is important, and how often we need to do it. (Because there’s more at stake than battling body odor.) Figuring out what our body actually needs based on our day-to-day activities will influence the steps needed in your cock cage care routine.

How Often Should You Wash? And What Happens if You Just, Don’t?

Dodging the bath or shower for a few days is no biggie. And there’s strong evidence suggesting you should only shower 2 or 3 times a week. Natural oils that sit on the skin act as a barrier, helping to protect it, while a few bugs and germs can assist the immune system. But skipping out on soap and water for more than a week, without even a damp washcloth touching your skin can bring risks, including:

• Dryness and itching.
• Face and body acne.
• Unwanted odour.
• Fungal infection (such as ringworm)
• Worsening of known skin conditions, including eczema.
• Illness that make their way from the skin into the body through the mouth, nose, and eyes.

These less-than-desirable outcomes can happen to any patch of skin on the body. Including the genitals. But given the groin area is kept in the dark for most of the day and is full of eccrine glands that secrete sweat, what are the specific effects of not washing down there? And should washing be a more common occurrence for caged guys?

Dr Justin Dubin is a urologist and men’s health specialist at Memorial Healthcare System in South Florida, he says “I recommend men wash their genitals daily if they can. Genital hygiene is important. And sure, sometimes you can go longer than a day. But if you’re doing strenuous activity, having sex, or going into bodies of water, consider cleaning your genitals after those activities even if you washed prior.”

He adds, that guys with a foreskin should “fully retract it and wash it” each day. And when going to the bathroom retract it completely when peeing to make sure urine doesn’t stay in the foreskin. This will stop smegma build up and, as Dr Dubin explains, “the development of phimosis, which is the inability to retract your foreskin due to the tightening of foreskin tissue.”

For every man, uncut or not, going multiple days with washing down below brings risks such as:

• Unpleasant odor.
• Rashes.
• Irritation.
• Infections, such as a UTI.

Wearing a cage increases the risks of encountering these genital hygiene challenges. “When you wear a chastity device you potentially increase the temperature around your genitals, which in turn makes it more likely you’ll sweat and therefore increase the risks of skin irritation. There are also other concerns of blood flow, and getting easy access for voiding, so make sure they fit appropriately so as not to damage your skin or your genitals, says Dr Dubin.

Despite a Reddit poll revealing that most guys take the cage off completely 2-4 times a week for cleaning, Dr Dubin would “recommend men wash their genitals more frequently if they are wearing chastity devices since they are likely sweating more. I would say they should give them a break and clean them daily or every other day to clean your genitals and make sure you are taking good care down below.”

Most guys only remove their cage 2-4 times a week for cleaning.

How often you clean will depend on what activities you’ve got on and what you (and your keyholder) are comfortable with. For example:

• How hot or cold it is.
• Whether you’ve been exercising.
• How sweaty you are as a person.
• The amount you’ve been walking or moving around.
• What social engagements you’ve got on any given day.

All influence whether you feel you can do a quick in-the-cage wash or need to unlock for a more thorough clean.

Unlocking for the sake of cage cleaning is northing to be ashamed of. And I want to note this. There are some articles and subreddits in which the author feels defeated because they’ve taken the cage off to wash. This seems contradictory to their goal: remaining in the cage long-term.

As we’ve heard from Dr Dubin, good cage hygiene keeps risks at bay, increasing wearer comfort and leading to a more positive experience of the lifestyle.

Now you’re taken care of, lets tackle cage cleaning.

Care Tips for Your Cage

How you clean your cage will depend on what it’s made of. Before washing, check any instructions that came with your device. Some manufacturers include cleaning advice specific to that device. Can’t find any? Then use our care tips, which follow standard cleaning advice for most pleasure products and sex toys.

Plastic and Silicone Care Tips

• Clean with soap and warm water.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to get in all crevices.
• Avoid fluff or lint sticking to the cage by allowing it to air dry.

Metal Care Tips

• Clean with soap and warm water.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to get into all of the crevices.
• Rinse off and dry with a towel.

Leather Care Tips

• Spot and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
• Never submerge leather items or leave it to soak.
• Apply leather cleaner to outer areas.
• Spray with an antibacterial sex toy cleaner for a deeper clean.

Keeping You Clean Inside the Cage

Daily cage removal so you can have a proper clean is the ideal scenario. Sometimes your pledge and the whereabouts of your keys (and keyholder) makes this impossible. But with bodily fluids, sweat, and urine getting trapped in or around the cage, it’s important to make sure you wash as well as you can while inside the cage. Some tried and tested practises shared by the members of Chastity Mansion include:

• Using a soft bristled toothbrush or shaving brush that can clean in and around the gaps in your cage.
• Washing with a mild soap or shower gel that that washing off more easily than thicker, creamier ones.
• Giving yourself a blow-dry afterwards using the cool setting. Drying off properly reduces the chance of chaffing from damp skin and avoids towel lint sticking to your cage.
• Carrying a water bottle with you so you can rinse the end of the cage (and yourself) after you’ve used the bathroom. You’ll then need to dry off using cotton pads or a small cloth.

Ease of cleaning depends a lot on whether you have an open or closed tube cage. Tubes that are more open in design, such as the Extra Small Stainless Steel Device, allows for greater airflow, so rinsing and drying off will be quick and easy compared to the more closed tube of the Red Rocket. While it’s still possible to keep yourself and the cage very clean, it will require a bit more care and attention.

Finding a Good Time to Clean

For most, cage cleaning fits in with whenever you take a bath or shower. That might be when you’re getting ready for the day, before going to bed, or after you’ve been to the gym or played sport. You might also have to consider when your keyholder is available. Depending on your chastity arrangement, it might be necessary (or desired by both of you) that they’re present so they can supervise. If this is the case, you’re cleaning may have to coincide with their availability.

Resisting Temptation While Cleaning

The sensation of the warm water. The slip and slide of the soap. Being alone and naked… Shower or bath time can really test the strength of ones chastity pledge. So how do you resist those urges?

First, remind yourself that this is a functional task. It should be completed as efficiently as possible. Next, think about what your keyholder is expecting of you. Some Dominants prefer to be present during any cage-off time so they can supervise. (Or dish out challenges and torment they see fit.)

If you’re keyholder isn’t there, you might keep yourself accountable by telling your Dominant that you’re about to clean your cage and sending them photos or a video of your cleaning routine. (But only do this if they’ve explicitly consented to receiving this type of content.) this lets you clean with a, well, clean conscience as you can prove you’ve not overstepped any boundaries.

You might also time your showers. Making them deliberately shorter than it would take for you to get hard and cum, can help you resist temptation, as can using a cleaning cloth or sponge rather than your hands when washing you genitals.

A Clean Chastity Device Is a Happy Chastity Life

Keeping your cage or belt clean is part and parcel of the lifestyle. There’s no shame in unlocking every few days and both your and your keyholder (if you have one) should understand this. Making sure your body is healthy and your comfortable in it is what will add to your pleasure of the whole experience. Really, hygiene and making sure your chastity play stays clean is part of the wider discussion about male chastity health and concerns.
