My Watchful Mistress chastity device from Mature Metal arrived, and I’ve been wearing it for almost a week. I love it so far, but in fairness haven’t had it long enough to do a full review just yet. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, so I thought I’d talk about it a little.
I’ve been busy working on Females of Vulvar, the fantasy science fiction novel I mentioned in the previous post, which is why I haven’t gotten around to posting lately. Also, I think that as I approach the second full month of being locked and denied, chastity is no longer consuming my every waking thought as it did at the beginning. Not that I find it less appealing, it has just become such a normal part of life for me. I don’t constantly think about as I once did.
I have found it super easy to forget I’m wearing a chastity device since I put on the Watchful Mistress. It fits perfectly, it’s light-weight for a stainless steel device, and I’ve found it amazingly comfortable. The craftsmanship is rather breathtaking in comparison to the lower end devices I’ve worn previously. Yes, a custom-crafted chastity device is a big investment. But, in my opinion, this thing of beauty from Mature Metal seems worth every penny.
While Mature Metal offers a security screw option for the Watchful Mistress, I opted to go with the Abus padlock option. The center pin on the base ring and the receiver on the cage are drilled precisely to achieve a tight fit with the shackle of the lock.
This takes some getting used to. You have to get all three holes (the one in the center pin and those on either side of the receiver) perfectly aligned to get the shackle inserted. If things are even a little bit off, the tip of the shackle won’t slide through the three holes.
Another thing the very precise tolerance means when going with the padlock option is you really have to go with the Abus padlock. The way the device is designed, the tight fit with the specific diameter of the Abus shackle, helps keep the cage properly aligned with the base ring.
I experimented with a couple of other padlocks I had on hand, both of which had slightly smaller diameter shackles. Both allowed the cage to twist slightly, which opened the gap between the cage and base ring on the side, which could allow for ball slippage. But, sticking with the Abus padlock, the device comes with (for a small additional charge) makes the device fit perfectly. I’ve even been able to move up to a slightly larger and more comfortable base ring with this device. That’s because it has been built with such tight tolerances.
Overall, using the Mature Metal measurement guide when I ordered the device has provided me with a permanent chastity device I’m confident I’m going to be happy with for years to come. The inside diameter is perfect, as is the base ring size I ordered.
I do wish I’d ordered the cage about a half-inch shorter. While I did my best to get accurate measurements before ordering, the cage is usually about a half-inch too long when my penis is at its flaccid smallest. Of course, there is a possibility that I’ve experienced a bit fo shrinkage since I ordered the device.
At some point, I may return the device to Mature Metal and pay them to have it shortened. That’s another advantage of going with a custom-made device. You can send it in to have anything but the diameter of the cage adjusted. You must get that right the first time.
The slight extra length isn’t a real problem other than from an aesthetic point of view. LJ likes the look of a full cage and immediately said the cage was too long when I put it on the first time.
In conclusion, I’m really happy with my new Mature Metal chastity device so far. In another week or two, look for a complete wear-tested review.
