Assistance needed with the Curve model

Hello everyone, glad to be here! I recently bought ‘The Curve’ after struggling with a solid steel ringed model where my testicles just wouldn’t fit through! I had trouble fitting them through the hinged ring on the Curve too, but by wearing the ring alone during downtime for several days, I’ve managed. Now I can wear the large 50mm ring (more or less) comfortably. When soft, a fingertip slides easily under the top edge; with a semi-erection while inside the cage, it’s tight—painful even—but I can still get a finger through.

The issue is that when I lock on the cage and begin to erect, my penis base gets pulled away from my body. This brings on sharp stomach pain, feeling just like bad indigestion. Taking off the cage makes it stop. Everyone says there’s some discomfort expected with these devices, but no one mentions severe abdominal ache. I struggle to stay locked for more than 5-10 minutes before giving in.

Please advise! Cheers.

You could try applying a moisturizer like Avenno twice daily inside the cage. This helps your cock slide along the length of the tube as it tries to erect, reducing tension on that base ring which seems to be causing you pain.
