One of the biggest dreams for chastity enthusiasts is 24/7 wear — in other words, wearing a cage continuously without taking it off. We totally get why this is such a hot fantasy!
What people often discover is that sleeping through the night is the hardest part of making the 24/7 locking dream come true. It's very common to be woken up in the middle of the night by a nighttime erection. While we can't promise that there's a perfect solution, there are a few things you can do to address this issue:
Make sure your ring isn't too tight. The most common problem for nighttime erections is a burning sensation under the scrotum. If that's your experience, a larger ring and/or a curved ring may help to reduce the pressure on this area of the anatomy.
Use lube. Reducing friction under the scrotum can be a big help. We offer our own Cage Cream product, or you can try any long-lasting lubricant, such as Vaseline.
If you still wake up, don't just lie in bed suffering! Head for the bathroom and urinate. This will usually help your nighttime erection to subside.
Lastly, if you just can't find a good system for sleeping through the night with your cage, don't feel bad about switching from 24/7 to 16/7 wear. We know many chastity enthusiasts who take their cage off right before going to bed, and put it back on first thing in the morning. Kind of like glasses or contacts :) This might be the right compromise to ensure that you are well rested for everything else going on in your life.
