My-steel is taking a break

Greatcornbow

Sasha Is there anywhere I can read about this?

I cannot recall the link. But there's nothing about thuis on their website so best check them first.

Greatcornbow It popped up when I was on their website yesterday.

Now found: is message on another site:

A customer received this message today (14 Dec 2023:

Thank you for your mail. We apologize for the late response.

We have to put you off, as we are taking / will be taking a break for a few months due to family commitments (care) from Christmas onwards. Due to these events, we also have to make changes to our business changes. We plan to continue in the summer at the latest, if the economic/political circumstances permit.

I would therefore ask you to contact us in late spring.**

regardless of my own history, it's a shame to read this because i can always recommend Mysteel belts in terms of comfort and safety

Max9

Oh dear. It would really be a pitty if the Mercedes of chastity belts would go out of business

Laura

Max9 if the Mercedes of chastity belts would go out of business

Hence the Rolls-Royce of chastity belts is Tollyboy 😂

Amazon is the ChangLi.

"UPDATE: 12/28/2023
Dear customers,

Due to unexpected family care cases, we are forced to make personal and business changes. For this reason, we are forced to take a break and will be back for you in summer 2024!

Of course, all orders received by 12.28.2023 will be produced and delivered."

Laura

Damien and will be back for you in summer 2024

Better to say "might be back"

Why so negative?

Laura

curious Because a successful business doesn't produce statements like this

Angelina

Laura Because a successful business doesn't produce statements like this

well, do you know the figures? maybe the figures aren't as good as we think, we can't draw conclusions about everyone from the many Mysteel wearers in the forum.
maybe they need time to see if the business is still worthwhile

curious

Laura
Look at it this way:

Chastity belts / equipment are definitely a niche product and not sold be the thousands per year. At least not the made to measure, serious type My-Steel is offering. So whatever they do, it is most likely a one-man or one-family shop that is more of a side-business rather than a full-time job to make a living from.

And quite obviously, if the person or family running that business have other and more urgent things to take care of - as that statement suggests - the belt production will have to be on the back burner until that other issue is resolved.
Quite the same with Tollyboy and Richard as business owner.

Laura

Angelina That's why "might" is the right word

curious

Laura
Until proven otherwise, I think the right word is the one My-Steel is using. After all, they do know the actual reason behind that statement and you do not.

Angelina

curious

we'll see, I think it would be a shame if they didn't continue

Spork

This is a real shame, we'd been hoping to visit and order sometime in the next few months. Is there anyone else who makes a matching bra to go with a belt?

Laura

Spork This is a real shame

I agree. If they had a family emergency, they should have hired someone to keep the business running

Damien

Spork Carrara of Belgium, and FancySteel of Australia both make quite sophisticated metal bras.

Max9

Spork Carrara Desigm of Belgium and Fancy Steel from Australia also mane bras. But I believr a Neosteel Bra from Germany would be best compatible with a MySteel belt

Spork

Laura Ideally yes, although if it's a small business and they need very specific skills then that might not be viable.

Angelina

Laura

good idea, but perhaps too expensive
