Belt Security

So almost everyone who is going to get a chastity belt, or even if they have something, they all want to know the same thing, is the belt secure?  That is the reason we would buy one right?  If it isn't secure what is the point?  I have to let everyone know my default position has always been no belt is secure without it being impossibly tight, also my past experiences have played that out.  So is the My-Steel belt secure?  Well yes and no, how about that for an answer!  I will say it is the most secure device I have used to date, but I have the same issue, if it is so tight that it is secure then I cannot wear it for too long maybe only a couple of hours or so.  If I put the waistband in the loosest setting then I can wear it for a long time but if I really try and I am alone with enough time, I can pull out of it.  I would assume other people could have different experiences, anatomy of course makes a big difference.  Unfortunately in my case I am a grower, this fact makes it harder for any device to be secure on me.  I don't know what could be done to make this device more secure, it is measured right and quite tight even on the biggest setting there is pressure where the tube meets my pelvis but I can escape given enough time.  For me the device works because I don't do the 24/7 thing and it is effective for what I want it to do. 

There really is no way to get out of the waist band, the silicone liner is grippe and properly sized it is there until unlocked.  I imagine it would be hard to put your penis back in the tube once you got it out, maybe impossible so that might be a real deterrent.  Like I said overall the security is good.  I imagine I could put it tight enough that I couldn't get out, but like I said it probably would become very painful after a while. 

Another Game To Play

This one I call: SEX LOTTO

So in this one scenario I pleasure my wife until she is completely satisfied while wearing the device.  I use a strap on dildo among other things and we continue basically until she is spent.  Then we have a bag or something with four things that are the same but of two different colors like checkers or playing cards with three queens and one king.  So for example there would be 3 red and 1 black checkers in the bag.  I would reach into the bag a pull one out if I got the black one then I would be released allowed to orgasm if I pulled out one of the red then I would not be released.  Of course after the earlier events I am pretty horny and would really like to be let out.  The first night we tried this we used cards and I lost so we continued this game for multiple nights.  The second night we left out the card from the night before so my odds were better.  The second night I got lucky and picked right.    

This is a nice simple game but very arousing.  Before I got to pick the cards I was really able to concentrate on my wife's needs and she had a great time.  It was a bit weird to say the least to use a strap on dildo since we were having sex but obviously I wasn't getting any stimulation and real head trip. 

A Game to Play

One interesting thing about using a chastity belt is the behavior modification aspect of it.  In a way that is what a belt does it changes behavior.  So I was interested if you could use a belt to change other behaviors as well as the obvious.  One thing I came up with is the following game that my wife and I am currently playing.   

This game is real interesting especially since I need to get my motivation up to lose some weight and I figured a way to incorporate the belt into that.  The idea was that we could set a weight loss goal for me, lets say to lose 2 or 3 pounds a week.  As long as I accomplish the goal I wouldn't have to wear the belt .  If I didn't lose the weight then I would have to wear the belt until the next weigh in and of course that would mean no orgasm or stimulation for me, but even more important the belt would be a constant reminder of what I was trying to do, which was lose weight.  This needed a bit of thought since I would need to exercise and exercise with the belt on is not really doable, but we were able to come up with something that worked for both of us.  I figured that if this is successful maybe it would start a new weight loss craze (lol).   

So we started this and the first week I lost enough weight so I didn't have to wear the belt.  The second week however started good but the weekend we went out I drank and snacked a bit too much and I didn't lose enough so Now I have to wear the belt until the weigh in next Monday.  So today has been interesting I can really say that the belt is a constant reminder not to eat.  Also it got quite uncomfortable today but i was stuck so I think it is providing me with motivation to not have to go through this again next week.  

The engineering behind the belt

The next post I will begin the extensive review of the comfort, hygiene, and security of the belt, but first I thought I would give you some general thoughts on the durability, engineering, and craftsmanship on the belt.  I will also include some pictures of the belt on.  There is some clever engineering and and a good deal of thought that went into this belt.  The steel is rather thin and light in fact I have heard this is a criticism of My-Steel.  But I find that because it is to bend it conforms to the body very well.  It is still strong enough to resist bending in key areas like the shield.  I also like how My-Steel uses plates to go together as you can see in this picture I posted earlier.

The plates allow the locking pins to be durable and lessen the chance of breakage.  The pins on the tube are thick and durable and fit nicely into the shield and crotch band.  Because the shield and the crotch band double up before they lock to the waist band it is plenty rigid and allows the band to push the tube against the pelvis keeping it quite secure.  The lock they use seems like it could be a bit heavier but I assume it is a quality lock.  The finish is nice the silicone liner looks good and seems secure to the belt they thought to reinforce it in places it might come loose easily.  I feel like the belt will last a long time even though it is fairly light weight.  Here are some pictures of it on: 

MY-STEEL Belt is here as promised!

So the belt has  arrived!  I have included some pictures and will try to take some pictures with the belt on.  In the brief time I’ve had it I can already say I like this one much better than the Carrara.   There is one slight problem however, I ordered a total model which has two adjustment points; one at the waist and one at the crotch.  They actually made me the comfort model which only has the adjustment at the waist.  The good news is that my measurements seem to be spot on.  The belt is quite tight which it needs to be and it seems that the crotch measurement is right where it needs to be so I’m actually happy at this point because now I don’t have to worry about two locks only one.  I will say however one of the reasons I chose MY-STEEL is the adjustability factor I tend to gain and lose weight and I wanted something that could adjust with me so I hope this doesn’t prove to be a problem later.  I would say the comfort is already better than it ever was with the Carrara even when it is quite tight around the waist and there is no way I’m pulling it down to get any more room I can stand to wear it.  As you may remember even though I have always had a interest in chastity I’ve always felt no belt is %100 secure without is being unbearable to wear, I may have been wrong.  I will give you initial review here and follow it up in a couple of weeks with a complete review.  

First I think is fair to state what I am looking for in a chastity belt.  For me I’m not really looking to wear it 24/7 however I do think the device should be able to be worn that way if necessary.  I will use the belt with my wife as part of our fetish  games, so it usually won’t be used for then 12 to 14 hours at a time.  I don’t intend to sleep in this belt except for maybe the few times that our games dictate that I do so.  I will also be removing the belt daily for cleaning.  The three things that are important to me in a belt are: Comfort-can it be worn in a manner that doesn’t interfere to much with daily activities, or causes pain where my main focus is not on the chastity itself but on getting the belt off.  Second hygiene- can I wear it and if necessary go to the bathroom with it on, can it stay relatively clean.  Third security- I belt has to prevent masturbation and orgasm otherwise what is the point.  Security is something I have always thought was basically a myth.  I have use a few trapped ball devices and can get out of them all, the Carrara belt ended up being no better so let’s see how MY-STEEL does I will say the initial results are promising.  More extensive review to come. 

    

More My-Steel Details

I want to give props to My-Steel for there customer service so far they really have been a refreshing change over my last experience.  Every time I have e-mailed them they have responded within 24 hours Petra has been very nice.  I don't think everything I have asked has translated well but they have been on top of things.  So I'm sure they will deliver the belt on time which will be nice.  After I ordered and paid for the belt they sent me information on the measurements need and how to measure.  They could have been a bit more detailed but they were pretty straight forward.  Waist measurement with a tight belt, crotch measurement from one side of the belt through the legs to the other side, from the the front of the belt to the penis, form the penis the the anus, from the anus to the belt in back that was about it.  Pretty easy.

  

Back from the Dead

Well most of you had probably thought this blog was dead and indeed it was, however, I have some new developments that should it back to life.  So it's alive, alive!  First things first, so what happened with the Carrara belt.  Well even after the months of waiting, and all the aggravation of trying to communicate with them and driving to meet them and finally getting new parts in the mail the belt still didn't work!  I believe this version has a design flaw which I don't think can be fixed.  The belt relies on sitting above the hips, it then plunges down and locks into part of the belt that has the tube and the protector.  The problem is you can't really get it tight enough to prevent pulling one side over the hip then the other side.  Once that happens the belt is no longer tight against the genitals and if it is not tight well you can guess what can be done.  I should mention that this is with the belt really really tight, in fact so tight that you cannot even go a day in the belt with out nasty red marks, real pain, etc.  I wasn't even going to attempt trying to contact carrara again to see if something could be done to fix it after the painful experiences I've had with them in the past.  So I sold the belt.  I hope it worked for who ever bought it.  Maybe it just was my body type or maybe that particular model has flaws and other ones work fine, but I didn't see this working for me.

New Beginning

So why am I writing this?  Well I thought my journey to find a good belt was over, however, I thought I'd give it another try.  I thought I would try a different maker and a different type and see if my results are different as well.  So who did I chose?  Well after quite a bit of research I choose MY-STEEL.  Why them well it really came down to them or Neo-steel.  All of the others companies either would be too complicated to get or seemed like they are semi out of business or I have heard horror stories about getting belts from them.  The two big reasons I went with MY-STEEL is that their belts are slightly adjustable and I have heard and so far have experienced excellent customer service.  I knew I wanted a belt that fit on the hip rather than on top, like the carrara, but I liked that the carrara had some adjustment possibility.  So does the MY-STEEL, in my case I ordered the Total hip design, which as two adjustment points.  I just ordered it yesterday probably will get it in about a month (another excellent aspect of my-steel).  So will this one work?  We'll have to wait and see, however so far the experience has been good.  My next post I'll tell you more about the ordering experience.
