HTv2 Device with PA Ring Setup

After introducing the concept of chastity to my wife, I purchased a standard-length HTv2 with a 40 mm ring last year. I spent several weeks getting used to it and generally enjoying myself. My wife was happy to play along. However, I ended up with a sore scrotum and restless nights. The device came on and off repeatedly. It seemed that the breaking-in period didn’t really help. Additionally, there were a couple of instances where my penis slipped out backward. I chose to get a device without the base ring, so I went in for an PA procedure. It was no major issue. Over six months, I have now stretched to reach a ga 2 (6mm). My wife loves it and gives it high praise. However, this has meant six months of pausing chastity play. The other day, I decided to drill a hole in the HT tube that aligns with the PA ring. It worked perfectly when worn. There is no pinching, and the ring cannot be opened without using the special pliers. I consider this an excellent method for securing the HT while you are transitioning to a full PA device. Attached are two photos of the empty unit fitted with a 4 mm ring (since I am currently wearing the 6mm). You will notice in the pictures that I also experimented with using a screw-in penis plug. This is another secure option, though it can be a bit more fiddly. I plan to list the HT for sale as soon as forum rules permit.
