So I got a new cage. Another amazon wonder, this time in hot pink (Miss E LOVES the color….I love that she loves it?).
It’s actually the second new cage I’ve received in the last couple of weeks, though the other one hasn’t even been tried on yet. I’ve had some skin integrity issues and Miss E insisted I stay free range for a while to help clear that up….but when the hot pink one showed up, it didn’t take long before I was in it.
Cages are such personal things that I’m not going to post lengthy reviews or claim one is better than another, it has to work for you and expect to spend some time and money experimenting until you find out what works. It’s really going to depend what you value, and whether this is a short or long term thing. The reason for the spat of new cages is I was looking for something I could wear and still urinate while standing up (see? it’s about what you value). I spend a fair amount of time on remote work sites without indoor plumbing, so being able to stand and pee like any other man was important. The first couple of cages we had did not allow for that, so I had to sit, and it made a mess, and was harder to keep clean, etc.
Good news for the new one, I can mostly pee standing up, so call that a win. Otherwise it’s relatively comfortable and Miss E likes it. I imagine I’m in this one for a while, or until problems pop up that at the moment haven’t presented themselves.
For all of the flak the foreign knock offs on amazon get, in the beginning when you really have no idea what style/shape/size is going to work for you, the ability to buy a handful of different cages for less than a couple of hundred dollars and experiment is really nice.
I don’t have a lock/unlock schedule, so I don’t know how long this one will stay on but the default for us is that I’m locked up. I do try to get it off and clean properly at least every two days, but other than that I’m not expecting any free time in the near future. If this one gives me any significant issues, I’ll update…..
