Female led relationships discussion

My partner needed to be unclipped for a couple of days because the skin got quite irritated, swollen, and raw. I had him wear panties on day one, then he wore his base ring with pink boxers on day two, and went back into panties today. This was to remind him that he still belongs to me. I might get the cage back on tonight, but if his irritation is still too much, does anyone have other suggestions for keeping him restrained?
