Kink3D

KINK3D is a United States-based company that designs and manufactures male chastity devices, primarily used within BDSM and kink subcultures. Founded in 2019 by product designer Dan Berman, the company has gained prominence through its application of 3D printing technologies and its association with the rising popularity of events like Locktober.

History

KINK3D was founded in 2019 in Oakland, California by product designer Dan Berman. Frustrated by the limitations of existing chastity devices-often heavy, poorly sized, or uncomfortable-Berman began developing alternatives using 3D printing technology. The resulting designs featured lightweight, ergonomic components in a range of ring and cage sizes tailored to long-term wear.

As reported by Slate in 2024, the company has shipped over 70,000 orders globally, including at least one to a research station in Antarctica.

Products and materials

KINK3D produces chastity cages made from lightweight, body-safe plastics. A 2021 article in MEL Magazine described the designs as offering improved fit and comfort compared to traditional metal or low-grade plastic alternatives, and noted the availability of multiple ring and cage sizes to suit different anatomies.

Each kit typically includes a cage, a ring worn around the base of the [...] and scrotum, and a lock to secure the two pieces together. The devices are designed to prevent [...] and restrict erections, while being discreet enough for everyday wear. KINK3D's devices have seen increased use during Locktober, a month-long chastity challenge documented in online kink communities and media reports.

In a 2024 review by GQ, KINK3D's Cobra model was described as the "Best Overall" chastity cage, with the article citing its modular sizing system-offering over 20 combinations of rings and cages-and suitability for extended wear.

Cultural relevance

Media coverage has focused on KINK3D's role in improving the comfort and discretion of chastity devices, particularly in relation to Locktober and its growing presence within kink and [...] [...] denial communities.

In a 2024 interview with Slate, Berman described the appeal of chastity as stemming not from repression but from heightened states of arousal and [...] focus. He also noted the importance of removing devices before airport screening, explaining that while some cages pass through older metal detectors undetected, full-body scanners typically require disclosure and may lead to additional screening.
