Skin Issues When Wearing Belt
Ines It is true, but it happens too with the steel. Perspiration and pressure marks are not avoidable at all.
I had neoprene and is far better silicone, it is much smoother.
Yes. It happens with steel, also but I think not as much. I have not tries neoprene for a long, long time. Back then, it was not smooth. I think it must help that neoprene is softer and more cushioned.
Milord I meet someone that has issue with medical silicon, even if used... elsewhere. Rare but can happens
Not rare at all. "Medical Grade" doesn't mean much, other than it's hypoallergenic and more resistant to bacterial growth. Skin irritation is a fact of life even with advanced prosthetics and orthotics. And ummm, dildos too.
bdsamm awesome! I'll pick some up and try that.
Angelina I feel like it's the rubbing. After a while it sticks to my skin and makes almost a rug burn. It doesn't seem to matter how often I re-apply oil. It still happens. Even when I'm not moving and there's no damage to my skin the belt starts to feel like it's burning where it's touching my skin.
Tjc good to know. I'll try baby powder. Thank you.
Just putting fabric under the waist of the belt has completed eliminated the issue for me. If the skin irritation is just part of wearing the belt I'll likely keep using the tank top

If it helps than it is a solution.
When wearing corsets, it is always recommended to wear a singlet under the corset. It seems to be the same here.
Joh This is more about keeping the corset clean?
BD1791 It sounds like you don't have a particular spot, it's more of an everywhere issue? For me and my cheap chastity belt, it was much more comfortable with something underneath as well but I could still point to specific areas where the fit was bad.
I don't think I could wear a corset 24/7, but certainly it is comfortable to wear all day. It is weird that it is so hard to get a Chastity belt to fit in the same way.

I think the main reason is the stiffness of the metal. For a perfect fit, it has to be bent exactly to your individual shape everywhere. In addition, there are areas of the CB that are unfavourable in terms of construction and therefore pose a greater risk of skin irritation and pressure points.
Sara it is a particular spot. It's on the back but to the sides. It could probably be described as a pressure point. The belt does stick all over but I don't get the spots anywhere else.
Angelina I did gain some weight that I'm now losing but the belt is adjustable so having it on the largest setting is "comfortable" to wear. I just don't want to be on the largest setting. I've already lost 7 lbs. I'm hoping to lose 5 more.
Angelina It is hard to bend a belt so that it fits perfectly. I had to make a special tool to make the bends in exactly the right place and the correct amount of bend. It is also necessary to match the radius of the bend with the radius of the underlying body. While I was fitting the belt, I put a piece of masking tape on the outside of the waist band so I could make pencil marks when the next bend needed to be.
A belt that fits when you're standing up won't necessarily fit when you're sitting down, and the area that is under pressure is likely not the issue. It might be the area that is affected but the strain is coming from somewhere else that needs adjusting.
Ines yep, when you sit your pelvic tilt lengthens the back line of your body (and consequently your chastity belt), so if it fits tightly when you're standing up it will put pressure on other areas when you are sitting. You can only bend and shape a chastity belt so much, at the end of the day it's a rigid structure and your pelvis is designed to move in three dimensions.
I've not had much success with rigid belts, we experimented with adapting a sliding front shield to a rigid bum strap but it ended up pinching in all the wrong places.
Maybe this is one for the "future of chastity belts" thread... Something that allows lengthening the back of the belt while still maintaining security at the front.
Sin The mullet belt. Security in the front, stretchiness in the back.
youdontknowme How does a mullet belt looks like?
I can't find any information about it.
Joh It was a joke... mullet is a haircut (Vokuhila)
