Chastity and orgasm denial discussion

Hi all. This is my first time here. I just picked up a to give the whole chastity lifestyle a trial run and see if it’s something for me. I kept it on almost constantly for five days, and generally found it quite pleasant. It wasn’t perfectly comfortable or practical, but that seems largely due to the specific unit I chose; upgrading would likely fix those issues. However, there are a couple of worries I have that might not be solved by simply buying a better device.

I’m currently considering the and I have some questions about basic daily life if I were to commit to 24/7 wear.

First, urination is my top concern. I tried hard to figure out how to go cleanly without taking it off, but it didn’t quite work for me. I ended up having to remove it completely every time I needed the bathroom. Having to take it on and off multiple times a day feels like too much hassle for full-time wear. Trying to remain practical here: how do you pee without making a mess? Usually, there’s a bit of leftover urine that I manage by holding my penis and giving it a shake or two to get it out. That won’t be possible anymore, so I’m wondering how one can ensure the last drops are expelled cleanly.

Secondly, like the jailbird, this device keeps my penis inside the cage but leaves it exposed to air, which I quite liked. It seems to reduce friction while still allowing normal airflow, and in my view, it increases sensitivity fairly quickly. Unfortunately, though, it tends to dry out the skin. What are your tips for preventing that? Lotion? Lubricant? Baby oil?

Third, because my current device is partly leather, I didn’t shower with it on. This raises several questions. How does the jailbird hold up against daily showers over time? Are there specific steps needed to keep it in good shape? Also, how do you maintain genital hygiene without removing it? In my normal routine, direct contact with the genitals during cleaning is key. What adjustments are necessary to clean myself effectively in the shower? And what about shaving? My pubic hair is a bit wild right now, but if I switch to 24/7 wear, the last thing I want is excess hair getting tangled or caught up. Are there any issues with shaving pubic hair while wearing a device?

Lastly, is there anything else I might have overlooked? Please assume I know nothing about this world. The device gave me a general sense of the experience, but I’m far from an expert. What are some common beginner mistakes? What should I keep in mind when ordering the jailbird? Is it actually the right choice for me to start with? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
