What happens: bladder irritation

The OK Prostate Chip is a small device placed in the urethra (the urine passage) to stimulate the prostate. These entries discuss vibration from motorized chips and pressure from chips or loops that extend into the bladder. Some prototypes were intended to transmit movement or pressure between the bladder area and another part of the device. Mr. Okada's reports describe abdominal discomfort, changing urinary urges, and stimulation he found too strong to sustain.

Bladder vibration preceded abdominal discomfort in the maker's August 2019 account

In an entry published in August 2019, Mr. Okada described his plain vibrating chip reaching the bladder unintentionally. He reported about 1 hour of vibration before mild abdominal discomfort prompted him to end the bladder exposure. Over the following few days, he noticed less desire to visit the toilet on waking and believed his bladder held more urine.

He speculated about a massage effect; the diary does not record a medical assessment of that change. In February 2022, Mr. Okada's broader advice was to avoid bladder vibration because certain positions caused unpleasant discomfort.

Bladder irritation ended a protruding glass prototype's test after three hours

An entry published in November 2020 describes Mr. Okada's glass-chip prototype joined to a screw-shaped support (an auxiliary chip intended to resist movement). He reported that the assembly stayed positioned particularly well. However, about 10-15mm of its leading tip projected into his bladder, and he ended the test after about 3 hours.

He considered the stimulation too strong for prolonged retention (leaving the device in place over time). No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada favored a shorter leading chip for longer retention, based on his own experience.

Strong bladder vibration preceded pain lasting about half a day

An entry published in April 2023 records Mr. Okada's experience involving a bougie (a term the diary does not explain). He described strong vibration while the instrument extended deep into his bladder.

Afterward, he felt intermittent abdominal pain for about half a day. He suspected strain on the bladder and explicitly said he did not recommend the practice.

Heart symptoms interrupted a prototype test involving strong bladder vibration

In an entry published in May 2024, Mr. Okada described a prototype targeting the seminal vesicles (organs beside the bladder). Its motor was incorporated into the part intended to occupy the bladder. After about 5-10 minutes, he felt an abnormal change in his heart and stopped the vibration.

He attributed this to his existing heart problems; the diary does not record a medical assessment of that episode. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada wrote that continued pressure felt too demanding on his heart and that he would avoid using the vibration again.

The maker blamed bladder irritation for urgent toilet trips during testing

In an entry published in December 2024, Mr. Okada tested his own combined chip-and-loop prototype in response to a custom request. With the assembly 20mm beyond its initial position, about 8cm extended into his bladder. He likened his urgent toilet trips to an overactive bladder (his description of urgency with little urine).

He abandoned the test after about 5 hours, with mild pain lasting about 1 hour afterward. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada cautioned that several hours of retention did not mean the requested design would suit continuous use over several days.

Paired loops produced excessive bladder irritation during the maker's extended test

In an entry published in May 2025, Mr. Okada assessed a paired-loop bladder attachment nicknamed the bladder mouse. He found its stimulation much stronger than an ordinary bladder loop (a loop intended to occupy the bladder). His report also describes the attachment sometimes being pushed toward the prostate when his bladder emptied.

He considered its shape and behavior still unfinished. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada therefore limited his own use and did not use it during sleep.

Flexible joints came with another warning about prolonged bladder vibration

An entry published in February 2026 introduced Mr. Okada's flexible-joint vibrating chip, with a ceramic tip connected to its motor by wire. Construction was offered with 8mm or 10mm motors; he ruled out 6mm motors because he doubted the connection's reliability. He felt that the ceramic tip vibrated more intensely than the motor section.

Published processing surcharges were ¥4,000 (about $26 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for short or medium-length ceramic chips and ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax for extended-profile or long ceramic chips. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada still cautioned that strong or prolonged bladder vibration might be unhealthy.

The maker's answer to bladder irritation

Mr. Okada's measures focused on avoiding prolonged vibration and limiting designs he found too stimulating.

Prolonged vibration drew an early caution relevant to bladder irritation

In an entry published in February 2019, Mr. Okada described feeling cold and unable to warm up after almost all-day vibration. The symptoms followed stopping the vibration just before sleep.

He speculated that relying on vibration might suppress the body's normal ability to stay active. His explanation was tentative, and his advice was to avoid long periods of continuous vibration.

Bladder irritation cautions also included limits for the dual-motor resin chip

In an entry published in February 2019, Mr. Okada assessed a dual-motor extended-profile resin chip. He reported discomfort after about half a day without vibration, which he attributed to dryness associated with the resin. He said he was not selling the resin long type because he considered it problematic.

The dual-motor version cost ¥8,000 (about $51 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax, with embedded nylon thread adding ¥1,000 (about $6 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) excluding tax, as published in February 2019. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada restricted this design to short sessions and favored an ordinary single-motor vibrating chip for longer retention.

Changing bladder irritation led the maker away from continuous retention

In an entry published in May 2025, Mr. Okada wrote that the paired-loop attachment felt different as his bladder filled and emptied. He said that made choosing its size difficult and questioned its suitability for continuous retention. His next design was a wire device with repeated paired loops, called the urethral centipede.

Published prices, excluding tax, were ¥5,000 (about $32 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) for wire up to 30cm, ¥6,000 (about $38 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) up to 40cm, and ¥2,000 (about $13 at ¥156 = $1, rate as of 2026-09-04) per loop pair. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada's proposal set aside continuous retention, describing stronger stimulation when more of the loops occupied the bladder.

Common worries about bladder irritation

The customer exchanges raise separate questions about pressure, inward movement, and support; the replies do not promise a universal solution.

"Would a smoother tip reduce bladder irritation?"

In an entry published in November 2020, a customer requested a plainer leading tip for a custom two-part design. The customer wanted bladder-wall pressure transmitted to the second chip while limiting strain on the bladder. They expected use within 30 minutes, reasoning that the intended effect would disappear as the bladder expanded.

Mr. Okada revised the tip, but the diary does not record how the customer's finished device felt in use. No matching product can be confirmed on the current list. Mr. Okada favored the plainer shape because he believed it reduced the design's burden on the bladder.

"Does an electrical cable prevent bladder irritation from inward movement?"

In an entry published in February 2022, a customer asked whether a vibrating chip's electrical cable removed the risks of entering the bladder. The customer reasoned that the cable and its external connector would prevent complete inward loss. They also reported slow urination and movement of the chip when trying to increase the flow.

Staff replied that excessive cable inside the bladder could still become tangled. The diary does not record whether the customer's urinary difficulty improved. Staff said a stopper could help prevent unintended inward movement, while rejecting the idea that tangling was impossible.

"Would extra supports prevent bladder irritation with longer chips?"

In an entry published in December 2023, a customer asked about supports after ordering extended-profile resin and double-twist ceramic chips. Staff offered wider spacing and a refund; the customer clarified that discomfort occurred during movement, rather than while the earlier chip stayed positioned. Production was paused; the diary does not record whether the order was completed.

Mr. Okada said long chips reaching his bladder felt too stimulating for prolonged retention. He described a sphincter (a gripping point around the urine passage) as relevant to whether supports held their position. Mr. Okada considered screw-shaped supports or sphincter stoppers reasonable options, although he said neither worked for everyone.
