Warning for the CB6000 Model

I’ve been lurking around these forums for a bit and noticed plenty of good things about the CB6000. Still, I’m surprised to not find any accounts similar to mine. I picked up a CB 6000 at a nearby store with little knowledge of cages. After reading multiple favorable reviews, I thought, why give it a shot!? This was my very first chastity device.. and wow, what an error.:cry: To skip the gruesome details: the cage features a “weld line” (using that term loosely) straight down the middle of the tube. I wore it intermittently for about a month with no issues. But then came the day everything went wrong—I had an erection strong enough to crack the plastic along the length of the tube at those joined halves (the said “weld line”). The tube briefly opened up, but snapped back shut and gripped the skin on the underside of my penis tightly, making it nearly impossible to take off. It was agony. After gentle attempts failed, I yanked the skin out through a hairline crack in the plastic. I realize now how fortunate I am that I didn’t end up at the hospital; if that oval-shaped cut near the top had gone just a couple of millimeters deeper, it would have torn off a large chunk of skin permanently from my member. This is simply my story, but I’d advise others to be careful with any cb6000 style product.
