I placed an order 5 weeks ago, and at that time of confirmation the tracking link gave me an estimate of 9 weeks to completion.

It's continued to say 9 weeks for the last 5 weeks, and the status bar is still just on "order received", so I'm just wondering....how that's going? 😅🤷‍♀️Do I have 4 more weeks to go, or does the 9 week mark just keep getting pushed and pushed. When I ordered, the 10-12 week estimate would have gotten it to me before Christmas, but that's not looking likely at this point.

Hello is it possible to order a new and ring only? Mine is a little to big thank you

I swore off cages about 9 months ago but I'm back yet again. Over the years I've gone through so many cages all causing strain of the cremaster muscle, leading to dull aching pain in my testicle/lower back/abdomen and upset stomach within an hour. I've tried easing into it for a week and it still leaves me sore for days after taking it off.

I thought I had found a good custom one that at least minimized what I thought may be growing pains - I wore it on a play date and was definitely engorged, the next day I had a severely swollen testicle that led to epididymitis (got scans etc. and everything was ok) which didn't go away for a few weeks.

I've tried the holy trainer, CB series, customs, etc. and was wondering if there was any advice on whether this could be the solution. I think my testes sit suuuper high because even a small band around them causes a bit of an onset.

Would love to hear advice or if buyers/users of the blackout cage have had previous experience with these issues but not with this one?

What do you have to say about the uncut cage? I want to buy one but im not sure if is the best option or the only option for uncut…. Please help!

Hello, I'm on a throwaway account. Is it possible to get a different color than black? I would love to have a cage in pink and the 2024 EVO looks great, but its only available in Black or no color alas grey, is pink an option?

Just got my Evo uncut cage and it's so comfortable! First time I can pee and clean without drips everywhere! I'm seriously thinking about going permanent because of it.

I’m thinking about ordering an Evo but idk cause I don’t know if a new edition is going to come out for 2025

Morning all, looking to try my first cage from blackout after becoming a little bored with the kink3d… not looking for custom as yet but thinking the sport model would be a place to start. Are these ’in stock’ or is there a production lead time? Any recommendations on sizing comparisons? Coming from a s+ and 3 curved ring.

Thanks

Having trouble moving Measurements to Cart

I take hot baths often and I am wondering if this will degrade the printed material, dye, or lock mechanism itself. Should I unlock for baths?

Hi folks

Evo in production and I’m super excited but I’m very anxious re measurements and fit. Is there like a re-production cost, or do you need to place a new order?

Thanks

The website says it factors erections, does it allow your cock to get full?

Does anyone know if this cage or a cage or any penis device that would prevent access to but allow erections still? Something like an expandable chastity cage? It would help so much

Lots of reviews from the uncut guys but not nearly as much from the cut guys? Interested in getting an Evo device but for the price I just want to be sure it is what my wife and I are looking for. What really interests me about this one is that it almost looks like an outer and inner cage and you really don’t touch the outer unless you get hard. In my mind that’s a hot feeling having your cock held up by just a few points. Main qualities we are looking for: -keeps the head in place when moving around. The bending motion is usually what gets me when doing squats and deadlift type movements. -discretion is important for my work. Not trying to ruin my career for a kink. Often wear thinner but baggy materials. The small cobra style I have now is well hidden and haven’t had any issues in the 6 months or so I have been locked up. Definitely a grower so looking at the measurement page it should be a smallish cage based on my smallest size -pulling away when hard. I don’t want to wear a strap. They are uncomfortable and unrealistic to wear all day every day. Not really a big problem anymore except for morning wood.

Hi guys

My evo is in this stage and I’m so freaking excited. Do you get to see the design after this stage, before delivery? Is anybody else currently in this stage?

I so desperately hope it’s worth it 🙏

Been into chastity for a while, gone through a variety of devices. I've never been able to wear a cage for any significant length of time as I'm a grower, going from ~2.5" to 5" in length. Combined with fairly high and tight balls erections always result in the cage pulling away as my penis lengthens, putting my testicles in a vise.

The most comfortable cage I've tried is a Cobra N with a #2 curved ring, but impossible for me to sleep in because of nocturnal erections. I tried using a strap or belt, but never really found much success, they always can stretch/deform/squish my sides enough that they don't prevent the cage from pulling away during an erection.

I've been using a full belt on and off for a couple of years, and that solves the pulling away problem, but comes with it's own host of issues. I'd love a cage I can wear for weeks without problem.

So, enter blackout. The design seems pretty brilliant. Looking at reviews I can find though I've not found anyone with quite as extreme of a grower length, with my penis almost doubling in length and also the circumference going from ~4.1" to 5.5". The cost is quite high, though I understand the reason and I don't think it's overpriced. But still a bit of a gamble to pay that much. The product description says it prevents pulling by accommodating an erection - does that mean for my measurements the cage would be 5" long and most of it would be empty other then during an erection? I'm guessing no, based on all the user photos.

So I'm hoping to get some feedback from /u/BlackoutDevices if they've sold some cages to wearers with sizing somewhat similar to mine, and gotten good feedback about if the design is able to "clamp down" on pulling away and squeezing the testicles during attempted erections.

Also @blackoutdevices - a question about the measuring guide. It says to take multiple measurements to get an average, but for example for flaccid circumference it says you're looking for the smallest it gets normally. I measured five times - 96mm, 103, 106, 106, 108. Should I average them, or use the smallest, or ? On the flip side, for erect measurements it says you're looking for the max, so again should I average the measurements or give the max measurement I got?

Thanks!

Does anybody know the size or style of blank key I would need to make a spare copy of the key that came with my evo? I went to three local hardware stores and they didn't have the correct size, but said if I ordered a blank they could make the copy for me.

Heyyy. What region should we select for UK shipping? EURO?

Thanks!

This fits like a glove! Very comfy. Been doing all sorts of movements and it just sits as it should. The uncut head is great. First impressions at least, and no indication of any other things :)

Will give a more detailed review after some days.

Thanks for an amazing product Tony!

I'm confusing by the measurement instructions. For the length, it says to measure from where a base ring would sit. But the picture on the website looked to me like it went all the way to the body.

I could wear a ring (from my well-fitted jailbird), and that ring has a bit of width. I could measure either from the middle of that width, closest or furthest of the ring? (and I'm uncut in case it matters) What's the recommendation?

Thanks

I wear a tether spout. Are there any measurement considerations I need to take into account?

About me: 34yo gay (?bi) British dude. 4 inches soft, 6 inches hard, cut, with unyieldingly strong erections. A little above average girth.

The cage is a Blackout Evo 2024, closed head.

Anyone with even a passing interest in chastity as a kink will have done one one of two things, if not both; dropped £20-£50 on a cheap cage; and/or dropped around £100 on a cage made by an established manufacturer (such as Holy Trainer).

The TL;DR of this review is: don’t. In the age of 3-D printing, there is no reason you should settle for a “one size fits all” approach to cock cages, especially as dicks famously do not come in one size..!

My first experience with a cage was around 15 years ago, and it was some cheap nasty thing that was constructed in two halves, sealed poorly along its length. Picture this: me, 19 years old at my call centre job, springing a characteristically iron-strong boner because the cute floor supervisor had absentmindedly been caressing his abs at my eye-level, his t-shirt lifting salaciously. The strength of my hard-on (no braggin bro) split the shoddy cage down its seam - so when my boner eventually subsided, the cage “resealed”, pinching my cock in the most exquisitely painful way, cutting a wound along the undershaft.

All this to say that the subsequent years of gambling on buying mass-produced devices resulted in poorly-made cages, or the one-off purchase of a Holy Trainer - which, while great quality, was obscenely painful when fully hard, and seemed dead-set on eroding the base of my nuts through chafing.

Enter BlackOut.

After taking my measurements and waiting a few months after purchase, my (pricey!) device arrived.

The instructions advise how to put the two parts together and suggest that at first it can be a bit difficult to disengage the clip mechanism. I was really worried about snapping it, but eventually figured the knack (advice for those who have Googled their way here: you’re not pulling them apart - you’re twisting the cock cage diagonally away from the locking “clip”. Make a fist around the cock cage, and gently but increasingly firmly prise to the side.)

The fit was perfect - which, given the pricepoint and the fact it’s custom made, you would hope! I was at first dubious when taking measurements - I didn’t initially believe the circumference of my flaccid cock was the same as my hard cock - but science (a strip of paper and a sharpie) won out, and my dick fits snugly in the cage both hard and soft.

I don’t think the Blackout website gives enough airtime to the glans ring. Essentially, within the cockhead part of the cage is an additional flexible segment that acts like a loose collar that holds your cock head in place. Aside from the kinky feeling of another layer of restraint, it stops your flaccid cock from retreating up into the cage, meaning that when you piss, your cockhead is already lined up. It’s also a really hot feeling as you slide the cock cage on, because you gently feel the glans ring catch and grip your cock head.

The cage (extremely lightweight and textured in a way that stops it looking like a cheap Kinder Egg toy) comes in two parts, like most. The cock ring goes on easily, and then you slide the cage on with a bit of lube. On the base-end of the cage are two “catches” that clip snugly into the ring. Now, not many people want to hear the words “clip snugly” so close to your John Tom, but there’s no scenario where anything can get trapped there, and there are sufficient gaps and curves that minimise painful trappage when it clicks shut. From there, the locking mechanism is a simple key - and the whole unit feels very seamless once fully assembled.

I felt it was slightly bulkier than other cages I’ve worn - but I’m gonna stroke my own ego a bit here and suggest this is because the cages I’ve bought previously haven’t accommodated my girth, whereas this is a custom built cage. Certainly, it’s no more visible than other cages (sorry exhibitionists!). I gym 4-5 times a week and can report no issues while locked! Chafing has been a real issue in the past - but with vaseline on the ring, applied twice a day, I’ve had no issues, wearing it a full five days at work with no problems.

The website acknowledges that security isn’t the goal of this cage, but don’t measure that statement against the popular mass-produced brands. By comparison, I’d say that between the glans ring, the perfect fit of the cage, and the way the device holds the two parts together, it’s actually harder to pull out of this device compared to other brands. Like all cages, if you’re desperate to get out, you absolutely can - but your nuts are still going to be weighed down by the cage, and attempting to “relock” without the key won’t be comfortable at all. Even then, I decided to rebelliously unlock while stoned, and absolutely struggled to disengage the click-lock mechanism - which obviously just made the whole situation much harder, and I had to sober up (and soften up!) before trying again.

Which, on that point, it’s worth considering who’s taking your cage off - if it’s a randomer who’s got you tied to their bed, they absolutely won’t be able to figure it out. If it’s your keyholder, they’ll need to familiarise themselves first before being able to confidently take over that responsibility.

Cleaning is easier than other devices - I bought the closed head design, and a cotton bud does the job perfectly. And again, the glans ring helps here, as it minimises the chance of pissing into the cage itself.

This is the first cage that I’ve managed to wear all night - but being (unsexily) pragmatic, that’s not to say it was a fun experience. Nocturnal erections still woke me up, but not with the painful urgency experienced with run-of-the-mill devices. The device has enough room to allow a boner to expand, but the balls still get pulled forward a little. That might be my physiology, but even so, it was less uncomfortable than other devices I’ve tried, so still a worthy trade off.

Also it has to be mentioned that the seller has a sense of humour (a mocking note in the package that football did not, in fact, come home for the UK) and commiserated with me while stoned and unable to get the damn thing off!

I saved up £250 for this cage, and while that’s a huge sum to drop on a kink, I’m treating it as a saving. We’ve all been there, browsing chastity deals, looking for reviews that might justify a horny-in-the-moment purchase - and you try it once and realise it’s not your “forever-cage.” Blackout, on the other hand, I think has nuked the market somewhat. I won’t ever need to buy another “daily” cage. This provides exactly what I want - a cage that is comfortable, secure, well-made, and there’s no reason it won’t last indefinitely.

Pros:

• Glans ring is an underselled (?unique) bonus, both for comfort and kink.
• Can wear overnight
• As secure as other cages
• Looks less tacky than mass produced ones.
• Website order tracking for peace of mind.
• Accessible customer service

Cons:

• Price - but understandable given custom-made, and it being a “life” purchase - worth it!

Two parter!

1. I'm looking into having a custom cage designed for my partner who struggles to get a good fit with off-the-rack designs that do not account for the bulk of foreskin. I notice it's said often that the designs are ever-evolving, and with a long lead time of several months I'd be a bit upset if I put in an order right before changes were officially made to the product that might make it a better fit, so without asking for any promises of course, I'm just curious if there IS a significantly useful update to the design on the way that I should maybe hold off for, or if it feels pretty safe to go ahead and pull the trigger now

2. I see the devices are 3D printed with Nylon PA12. I understand that the material itself is considered body-safe, but the course of 3D printing inherently creates small pores in the finished product that can allow bacteria entrapment and growth. I'm curious if the finished device goes through any coating or smoothing process to help reduce this possibility. A big part of our play involves his caged penis coming into contact with my mouth and genitals and I do not need to be giving myself infections because his cage could not be sufficiently sanitized due to it being 3D printed.

I have tried big rings, medium rings, small rings. It doesn't matter. The cage always slides down play penis a little bit when I'm flacid, putting more pressure on my testicles. Even the smallest ring, which causes ball burn in 30 minutes because it was too small, still wasn't securing my cage against my body. I'm high and tight and I'm a moderate grower. I've heard that to counter that, make the ball gap LESS. But I do not want to wear a strap. If I spend $200-300 on a cage, I want it to not slide down my penis at all. This is my primary concern.

I'm currently in a Cobra-like knock off that has a cool cat-face design cage. Standard size. It's maybe an inch longer than my penis flacid and it's too narrow for the width of my penis. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CPHWGNDL?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

My question: Which high-end cage is best to prevent sliding down your shaft? Kink3d? BlackOut? Cherry? Something else? All of them have sizing guides. All of them have great reputations. All of them are comfortable for most people. But still, I don't want to buy more than one expensive cage. I want the one that won't slide down my shaft.

Has anyone else had issues with the V-Prong Glans ring on the Evo 2024 (the small circle near the head) and has advice?

Recently I have noticed some pain caused by skin just below my head constantly rubbing against the v-prong ring, usually during erections. I am considering maybe attempting to remove this inner ring to solve this issue, but I do like the security it provides, and I'm not sure if I will just end up messing up the cage and then regret ruining a cage that I have been enjoying wearing otherwise.

The other issue with the inner ring is that I occasionally pull out of the v-prong ring when sitting down and soft, and the ring prevents me from just easily putting everything back in place. So this would be another benefit of removing the inner ring, but again I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

If anyone has had a similar experience and has any advice I would really appreciate it.
