CB-X Mr. Stubb Cock Cage Kit – Black

Mr. Stubb is CB-X's stubby cock cage: a black polycarbonate tube roughly 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) long that sits between the tiny Mini-Me and the 2.5-inch CB-6000S. It's for wearers who've outgrown the standard cages and want more restriction, but don't need the extreme tuck of the very shortest model. Opaque black keeps everything out of sight, and the kit includes five rings, pins, spacers and locks.

Where Mr. Stubb fits in the CB-X line-up

Think of the CB-X cages as a ladder. The CB-6000 and CB-3000 are the roomy starting rungs, the CB-6000S tightens things up, Mr. Stubb goes shorter again, and the Mini-Me is the last step at 1.25 inches. Mr. Stubb's inside diameter is listed at 3.4 cm (about 1.34 inches), so it's snug in width as well as length. If you've been comfortable for full days in a 2.5-inch cage and your keyholder wants more, this is the natural next move. Give yourself a few weeks of shorter sessions to adjust before planning long lock-ups.

What black hides, and what it doesn't

The solid colour means neither you nor anyone glancing at you can see what's inside. Some couples love that sense of a sealed package; others miss being able to check the fit. Because you can't look in, set a routine of unlocking to inspect the skin around the ring and wash. If you'd rather see through it, the clear Mr. Stubb is the same cage.

Fitting a stubby cock cage

The ring sizes in the box are 5.08, 4.76, 4.45, 4.13 and 3.81 cm, which works out to 2 inches down to 1.5. Measure around the base where the ring will sit, behind the testicles, and divide by 3.14 to find your starting size. Three locking pins and three spacers set the gap between ring and tube; a shorter cage usually wants that gap kept small so it can't pull away. Fit it cool, slide the tube on, check the pins, and test it unlocked before the brass lock goes on.

Comfort and hygiene

Holes in the tube let you pee while locked. Sit down to do it, then rinse through with the shower head. Short cages keep skin warm and damp, so unlocking daily at first to wash with mild soap and dry properly makes a real difference. Ease in with a few hours at a time, and unlock straight away for pain, numbness, swelling or a change in skin colour.

Locks and the carry case

Everyday wear uses the brass padlock and its two keys. For travel or longer verified lock-ups, swap in one of the five plastic locks; they're metal-free and single-use, so a keyholder knows whether it's been opened. Everything packs into the case when not in use. Count the pins and spacers as you put them away; they're small, and losing one can leave you unable to get the gap you know works.
