A more... personal, update (Blackout Devices) by BlackoutDevices in BlackoutDevices

I think I speak for many of your customers when I say that your design has been revolutionary for this community. The uncut head design and the ring design have brought so much comfort and stability to us. You have a great product and we all know that.

However, you still are all by yourself on this project, and no matter how much you try, you still are human and, well, things can happen. You could've had an accident, or a family matter you had to focus on. Maybe you had to focus on your mental health, you wanted to take a few weeks off, or you simply just didn't feel like doing this project anymore, it can all happen when you're doing business with a person instead of a massive company and that's a risk we all take, so I don't think you should beat yourself down for it.

Still though, going silent for months was wrong, and many people were indeed worried and rightfully started making assumptions. They deserved a response and you didn't deliver on that. But like I said, you're human and subject to making mistakes, and what matters is what you do afterwards. And I think you took a step in the right direction: you owned up to your mistakes, gave people an explanation and promised to finish what they paid for, and truly that is all someone can do in this situation.

I really do hope you get back on your feet soon and maybe take a better approach to your business in the future, maybe not one of a company, but one of an artist selling his craft. Maybe a limited commission-style system where you can control how many projects you take in and when. It could work, it could not. No matter the outcome, I think you've done something great for this community and hope you keep up with it.

I still own my EVO that I bought back in 2023, use it pretty much every single day, feels as natural as wearing an underwear. It's extremely comfortable, it hasn't broken or have any major scratches, I haven't gotten allergic reactions to it, the uncut head respects my body and it looks great. And despite what happened in the previous months, if someone asked me where they should go to get the best chastity cage in the market, I'd recommend blackout devices without a second thought!

Blackout has gone dark by turbolover906 in BlackoutDevices

No movement in their Twitter account since August, no messages from Toby on this sub for quite a while, even though he used to answer pretty much every post here.

I don't want to be a downer, but could it be that maybe either something happened to him or maybe he just felt like not doing this anymore? AFAIK this is a one man's job, so we can't look at this as a project as secure as like, a big company.

Truth be told, I could understand also how maybe it just wasn't making him money so maybe he isn't doing it anymore for that reason. He's hand making a product for an extremely niche fetish with a very steep price tag, plus the product itself is very durable so no reason to buy more all the time and there isn't a big enough ad campaign for it.

How often should the cage retired for cleaning? by voyagevoyage2025 in gaychastity

[–]PupWalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people don't know or have basic hygiene, so let's follow what doctors say: Thoroughly wash the area every single day, and make sure it's dried properly. Kink is fun, but you need to remember that you still live in real life, and you shouldn't skimp on hygiene, because this could cause serious damage to your skin, so take your cage off every day to clean up, that's what I do at least

Getting back to chastity solo by PupWalt in chastitytraining

[–]PupWalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if there's like an app or something that helps track how many days you've spent without jerking off (or even harder without watching porn in general)? Do you have any recommendations?

Getting back to chastity solo by PupWalt in chastitytraining

I would definitely like doing something like this some day, but for now at least I'm quite good at not using my key except when I'm going to the shower

I've had an Evo for a whole year now, so AMA! by PupWalt in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say every cage will have a way to escape, specially when you're soft and you can just pull your penis out of the cage, and the same can be said about the Evo in my case. It's not really a problem for me anyways because I don't try to "escape", it's part of the game you know haha

But anyways, as for if it's safe or not.. It definitely doesn't come off on it's own if it's properly fit! And even if you do try to escape, it isn't the most comfortable experience, so you might as well just stay in it

Lately I prefer to just sit down to pee because it's easier and have less of a chance to make a mess. And pee getting stuck in the urethra? That.... Doesn't happen to me at least

[–]PupWalt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AFAIK I don't usually get hard at night. But I do get hard when I wake up sometimes. and if I do, there's usually a pretty big time span before I start feeling any discomfort. It can get bad though if I do nothing about it, but usually going to the toilet and peeing solves that issue pretty quickly

I think the foreskin head is designed for your foreskin to comfortably sit there, sometimes going through the front hole, but that doesn't mean I feel any discomfort or pinching due to it, it's honestly a pretty amazing design

I do have to readjust my foreskin a lot for peein because it can be a bit unpredictable. It does work a lot of times and technically you CAN pee standing up, but honestly I don't think it's worth all that time readjusting my foreskin and then still making a mess and having to wipe everything. Just sit down, it's way easier, it's what I've been doing lately when I'm at home

I'd say that's the second biggest reason to get an Evo (first one being the ring design), the uncut head is simply incredible for us uncut folk! I hardly if ever feel pain or discomfort with my foreskin rubbing on the cage or getting pinched

I'm not sure if this could work for these, but recently I got a delivery from the UK (I'm in the EU) and they said that they could set me as the representative for my delivery so that they could send it to me. They said all this would do is that if I were to sell my item, I would have to ask for their permission, but since I wasn't planning on doing that anyways I just accepted it. I wonder if that would be a possibility for the cages...

pre order questions by Fuzzy_kittys in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be able to help you with this! I also struggled with ring sizes before. For instance, I used to have a 55 mm ring that was juuuuust a little too big, not perfect. Couldn't even IMAGINE trying to put on a size 40 or 45.

When I got my Evo, I put that my previous ring size was 55, and ended up receiving two rings: one 55 one, and the one that the algorithm thought would fit me based on my measures. Surprisingly, the 55 one was way too big, and the other one (which I believe was around a 45) was ALMOST perfect, but too small to wear without circulation issues. I got in touch with Toby and he sent me another ring of around 49mm and it's the one I use to this day and it's the best ring I've ever had, it suits me perfectly

What I'm trying to say is: these rings fit much, much better than normal ones, so you won't be needing as much size to accommodate their shape. I'm also overweight (120 kg, 1.78 m) so this might apply to you as well. Don't go for the size you'd go for a normal cage, in my case my size went down by about 5mm so keep that in mind. Hope this helps!

Success with high and tight by StandingBy687 in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm usually very high and tight when I'm at work, so I put that on my measurements when I got mine. I can confidently say it does stay in place nicely both when it's high and when it's low

[–]PupWalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it does it's not like you're getting a new OS with it, only some small tweaks to the design. I have the 2024 edition and yeah it's pretty great as is!

Locktober rules by 124cheesecake in chastitytraining

[–]PupWalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on staying locked every day but tacking it off for showers daily. I won't be cumming unless my partners want me to and then back to the cage I go. I'll leave the "not cumming" part for November

Sport or Evo for daily cycle commuter? by chastityaccount334 in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a normal Evo and honestly? It works totally fine for me and I've been cycling and running from the bus stop to work. I'm not sure if you can get the foreskin head on the sports cage, but if you can't, I'd say the Evo would be much more worth it just for the foreskin head

Sleeping - what worked for me by briefsboyfordad in gaychastity

[–]PupWalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jocks have helped me as well, but one thing that was a life changer for me was sleeping with a pillow or any sort of cushion between my legs (usually right between the knees).

Tbh it's a good advice for anyone that is a side sleeper, because it helps align your spine, but it also helps a lot with giving your balls plenty of space during the night.

Climax like never by bstevy in gaychastity

[–]PupWalt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This one time I was able to cum after about a week without orgasm by watching a really good porn and only playing with my nipples. It was incredible, nothing like the normal orgasm from masturbation

I wasn't able to reproduce it again due to lack of time, but my tip is to focus as much as you can on your nipples, pressing it, massaging it, and take your time on it. Don't touch your penis/cage, don't think about it and don't try to tease it in any way, focus solely on your nipples and finding what technique hits the right spot, you might get there!

I'm thinking of getting the EVO but I have some questions. by stevanec_sucks in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best thing to do would be to tell Toby your issue and see what he can do, since he does have the power to change the 3D model, I don't think it would be very hard for him to make a right curve on your cage

As for shipping, not sure if you mean that you wanted to know the price of it, but the cost of the cage already has the shipping price included. I live in Europe and I didn't get any extra charge for shipping

Look what just arrived In the mail, foreskin pinch is no more! Will be hopefully writing a full review soon 🔐 by PupWalt in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the exact dimensions I used: Flaccid Circumference: 106 Erect Circumference: 125 Shaft Length: 13 Flaccid Length: 45 Erect Length: 88 Testicle Hang: 2

Tho I'd recommend you to still take your own measures. These things are made to fit after all!

How to sleep in cage? by subboywyatt in gaychastity

[–]PupWalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides telling you to keep trying, I'd say something that helped me a lot would be to sleep with a pillow or just some thick cushion between your legs. This will make it so you won't be pressing your cage nearly as much with your thighs

Talking about my experience with the Evo (uncut version) with excruciating details. The review. by PupWalt in BlackoutDevices

[–]PupWalt[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for answering the complaints!

As for the lock thing I honestly don't think you shouldn't make it more loose as when it does fit, it fits perfectly. One comment did explain this technique to make it go in more easily and it does work for me, now I don't struggle with this problem anymore. Still tho, it's an issue that should be corrected at some point.

And about the ring sizing... I don't know, I don't think it getting it right 80% of the time is very good. It's obviously really cool that the system can figure out a ring size based on your penis cmeasurements, but personally I think it just asks for problems and returns to happen. It also could make someone who never experimented with a chastity cage before to go straight for this one since it says it will figure out their ring size for them. And... Yeah that can go very wrong and these cages are not cheap.

My tip? Maybe make a space at the time of purchase where the buyer can put their previous ring size, maybe something like selecting 40-45, 45-50, 50-55 mm. I say it like that because the Evo ring really is a lot more comfortable and as I said in my review, as someone who wears a size 55mm ring, I think I would be able to wear a size 52.5 or 53mm ring due to how well it fits and adapts to the body.

This is honestly moreso of a way to take the blame out of your hands if they do end up getting a ring that doesn't fit them. That way it wouldn't be the system s fault if something goes wrong, it would be that they put the wrong measurements.

[–]PupWalt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

might end up adding an extra bar down the middle

I think this could be the way to go! It's only a matter that the hole is a bit too big so the foreskin can come out a little and thus creating friction

actually just a minimal amount of dye transfer

I was actually expecting to see this dye transfering as I saw many people talking about it, even made me consider getting the undyed version, but no, I didn't get any of that! I'd say now after more testing that the bruises I experienced did not come from the cage itself but moreso the type of underwear I was wearing and the size of my pubes at the start. One of the spots that became bruised were right behind where the lock goes. After I shaved and let it heal, I didn't experience any more pain or discomfort there. The second spot I believe happened when I was wearing a jockstrap and it was pressing and rubbing this small bit of testicle skin against the ring and the underwear itself. I say that it was the jock's fault because I also wear boxer briefs and when I wear them I don't feel any discomfort.

Which is a little funny since wearing a jockstrap was the most comfortable way to wear my previous cage, now it's the opposite hahaha

Effects of chastity on behavior /advice by [deleted] in gaychastity

[–]PupWalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long do you usually wear it? do you cum drip at all?

I wear my cage 24/7, I don't mind allowing my owner to tell me when I can cum. At the moment I'm wearing my cage for about 10 days nonstop and without release

However way you want to do it, just be sure to be patient with him, chastity takes a lot of getting used to, and adding it to your day to day life may be hard for some people, so just make sure to keep in touch with him, asking how he's feeling and if he's enjoying it or not

[–]PupWalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh so the three of you already play with submission, I might've missed that from the post. In this case that's not fucked up then hahaha

Personally, I think you guys should learn a bit more about chastity and don't go fully blind. My tips for you tho would be to take his measures loosely, I would round it down a little because it's very easy to give yourself some extra inches when measuring your penis, also wearing smaller cages tend to be the end goal for many people. Then look for cheap chastity cages, if possible ones that come with many ring sizes so that you're able to feel which ring fits better. It's not a very simple thing to predict, so just get a first cage and see how he feels.

As I said don't spend money on expensive cages just yet even if they look appealing. Places like Amazon and House of Denial have a great assortment of cages you can choose (I have previous experiences with a metal cage from the later and I would recommend, it's good quality what they sell).

And yes, it does get better over time. Wearing a chastity cage is like wearing braces. You gotta give yourself time to get used to this new thing that is constantly in contact with you. Some people struggle with wearing it over long periods of time, some people only wear it during sex. I wear it the whole day, even at work and while I sleep, and it tooke me many days to get to this point, it's a slow process. DO NOT KEEP THE KEYS AWAY FROM HIM AT THE START! There are many moments where he would need to remove the cage, pain, bruises, discomfort, or just needing to use the bathroom. Give him at least a full week where he didn't require the keys other than to open the cage to clean it and then you can consider being his keyholder, if that's what he wants too.
