I've had requests to add the ability to use the tetherspout glans hood with the glans rings. I've add this as an option when ordering. Just select With Rings: Yes at checkout and you should be able to use both the tetherspout and the glans rings at the same time.
I've had a couple of requests for this and I'm curious what people are looking for. Do you want sharp spike, more rounded spikes, long spikes, short spikes? Here is a mockup I've done these spikes are about 2.5mm long. Are 2 spikes enough? There is probably room for a third.
I've had many inquiries about the titanium. It is getting closer. There is now a page up. I'll be adding stock to the the page slowly to allow a small number of orders as I continue to iron out the bugs.

Before I started working on the Grip, I had been unlocked for several months. Prior to that, I had owned several custom metal devices and worn them for months at a time. They were comfortable enough for everyday wear, but whenever I became active, there was always some level of pinching, rubbing, or discomfort. Over time, I found myself growing frustrated with it. The thing was, I genuinely missed chastity and the feelings it brought into my life. I missed the mindset, the focus, and the sense of connection it created.
Around that time, I discovered r/ShaftOnlyChastity. Reading about shaft-only designs convinced me that was probably my future. I had decided I was going to get a PA, spend the next seven months stretching and healing, and eventually move to a shaft-only device. The Grip actually started as a way to solve a much simpler problem. While waiting for the piercing process, I wanted a way to experiment with shaft-only retention and figure out what size and shape device would work for me. It was never intended to become a product. It was just an experiment for my own use.
What happened next was something I never expected. People offered feedback, encouragement, criticism, ideas, and support. They paid to participate in the beta program, helping fund continued development when the project was still little more than a concept and a lot of trial and error. The community helped identify problems, suggest improvements, and shape the design into something far better than I could have created on my own. We are now over 1100 devices out in the wild and growing.
The thing I had been missing is back in my life. Thanks to the support of this community and everything that came from this project, I’ve now been comfortably locked 24/7 for months. What started as a temporary experiment to bridge the gap until a piercing healed ended up becoming the solution I was looking for all along.
I just wanted to say thank you. Not as a company. Not as someone selling a product. Just as me. Thank you to everyone who shared feedback, tested prototypes, participated in the beta program, trusted an unproven idea, and helped push it forward. The Grip would not exist without this community, and more importantly, I wouldn’t have found my way back to something that was genuinely missing from my life.
Finally got in some of the final halo glans hoods. Here are some shots of it so you can get an idea of what it looks like. https://headzonedefense.com/products/halo-glans-hood
I have a theory about the issues some people have. I think it's related to how your penis pulls against the ring. I think if it is held too low or too high it can cause problems for some users. I need 6-7 testers in the US that are fairly confident on their ring size and willing to try a few different height rings. If you fall into that category, add a comment to this thread and I'll send you a DM.
I have one more change I need to make in the lock area to make it work a little more consistently, but we are getting close. I will point out the titanium is roughly 4 times heavier than the nylon version. Here are a couple of snapshots of the scale. Because of this, I'll likely limit the length on the titanium devices to be 1 or less. For me it's very wearable and the extra weight doesn't create any discomfort. The one picture weighs about 80grams.
I am not planning on offering them with a mirror finish because the mirror finishing on the titanium increase the cost roughly $250. The finish shown here is tumbled and polished. It is a smooth finish that does show reflections it it, but it is not mirror smooth.
Bought a few hats for a promotion.
I recently had one of our users mention they had been considering how they might used a HZD sticker to secretly share with the world that they are locked in The Grip. They mentioned maybe placing the sticker on your credit card so as you used it, others might see or notice. I know one member mentioned putting them on their cooler when they went to the beach. So now I'm asking you. How could we use the HZD logo to create our own secret sign.
I had a batch of the security locks printed so I could beta test them. They are available in the stores https://headzonedefense.com/products/plastic-security-lock-beta
I've been working on a plastic lock concept for a little bit, and this is what I've come up with. I've tested this in the HZD Grip, and it works fine. I expect it would work in most barrel lock devices as well.
You can see a video of how it works: https://imgur.com/a/qAsFq2w
And you can download the STL here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2757161-plastic-tag-barrel-lock#profileId-3060200
Just wanted to give everybody a heads up. The misprints are posted here https://headzonedefense.com/collections/misprints. The items will be available to purchase at 11:00AM tomorrow.
I've come up with a plastic lock mechanism I'm pretty happy with. I'll be adding them to the site this week, but I'll also be posting the STLs. The can be printed at home and use numbered tags available at many places. Here's a video.
I've always felt bad charging more for shipping and duties than the price of our actual sizing kit. To make it easier I'm offering an of my international customers with the 3d printer the option to print and sell our sizing kit in their home country/region.
If you want to be added to the list, let me know the country and I'll add you. This is not exclusivity, so if you are in a country that already has somebody you can still be added. They will be listed in the order people requested to be added. If I get negative feedback about the quality or service, you will be pulled from the list. I retain the rights to all US based customers just so I can keep track of the sizing kits/customer match.
I've uploaded a version of the files that have all of the pieces on a single plate/stl. It should be sized to fit on anything other that an A1 Mini. I print them in standard PLA.
