CB Range discussion

Hi all, This is my maiden voyage on these forums. I’m currently spending my initial hours locked in a chastity device called the “Curve,” as noted in this thread’s subject line. Several questions have popped up during these first few hours, and I’d love to hear from more seasoned members. Just so you know, I’ve opted for the largest U-ring (2 inches) paired with the longest locking pin. Overall, comfort levels are good at present. However, getting it on required considerable effort. My testicles were barely fitting inside the U-ring—I had to push them in snugly. Fitting my penis into the cage was even more of a challenge: I needed multiple attempts, lots of squeezing, about half a bottle of lubricant, and some ice. The outcome feels tight. As mentioned, it’s not painful (at least yet), but I worry this device might be too small for extended wear. Quite a bit of skin is “folded” beneath the U-ring—I hope that word works; English isn’t my first language. I’m unsure how I’ll keep those resulting folds clean. The skin inside the cage faces similar issues, with very little room to spare as it presses against the walls. Some skin even protrudes through the cage openings. Earlier today, while wearing the device, I showered. Due to limited airflow and space within the cage, parts of my penis stayed damp for hours afterward (water trapped between the skin and cage wall). Another peculiarity regarding how I assembled it is the overall orientation. In photos others have shared showing a Curve in use, the locking pin appears mostly horizontal when standing upright. Mine points much more vertically downward rather than outward. The distance from my abdomen to the U-ring also seems larger in pictures; there’s at least an inch of gap for me. So, here are my questions:) The big one: Is my worry about the Curve’s size valid? Is it just too small right now, or will I adapt? I remember reading that bodies adjust to testicular rings over time, but what about folded skin? Can I realistically expect similar adaptation here? If so, how should I manage hygiene for those folds meanwhile? Is penile constriction in the cage normal? I know erection causes swelling, but I don’t notice much difference between aroused and flaccid states regarding tightness. Should I anticipate improvement there too, akin to U-ring adaptation? On the hygiene front: should I avoid getting my penis wet like under the shower spray? I’ve seen mentions of special cleaners and toothbrushes—does that imply humidity must be minimized regardless? Lastly, a technical query: What is the purpose of the spacer? Perhaps its function escapes me due to the Curve’s unusual position. Thanks for reading this long post! Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
