Milord makes the idea of continuous wearing impossible and for long time utterly dangerous
Like @Angelina, my counter argument is that I have worn a belt continuously for years and am also still alive and, I think, doing well.
Continuously has meant different things over the years but right now means 24/7 except removal about once a week for cleaning and "me time". I did not start 24/7 but worked up to that over time. The build up allowed for adjusting and modifying to prevent pinching and to build a tolerance for chafing. I have, so far, never had an issue with panic attacks. There are times when I would like to be out of the belt so as not to be subject to its restrictions but the agreement with the person holding my keys deals with that and with being out when I want. Being able to easily be out of the belt whenever I want, defeats the purpose (for me).
Some disclaimers: I see and accept the advantages, for me, in wearing a belt. I consented to wearing and to it being very, very difficult for me to stop wearing. I am a man so I am not subject to monthly issues of body size and shape change. I do have to watch what I eat to not change shape due to that. That restriction is a benefit of wearing.
