For me one key is in my locker at work... I use this for hygiene openings etc but it stays at work and I don't regard it as an escape route.

"My" key is in a lockbox at home. Who has the combination to the lockbox depends on the situation... sometimes me, sometimes not.

And finally I have an emergency key at my best friend's house, but if I ask for that one there are consequences.

So even though I take my belt off for work some days, I still regard the one in the lockbox as the only way to get a release.

    She did it already šŸ˜‚

        I was surprised there was so many threads with new answers,too!šŸ˜‰

        Ines It is very dangerous do not have an emergency key.

        I agree.It's very important to have an emergency key for all the locks.

        Joh the mobile system didn't work

        That's why mine are in a box with a plastic lock(with serial numbers)that I can cut quickly,in case I need these and can't call my parents(or if they don't answer).

        Sin if I ask for that one there are consequences.

        Which ones?

                  But I remember you said you did already... And that you felt great too xD

                      LoonyMel yes but I like my hair now... I'm going to a wedding later in the year and I don't want to look like a freak!

                      We actually made that rule aaaages ago when I was thinking about shaving it but I was too terrified to actually do it. I thought that might be a fun way to get there. So the punishment still stands and I consider that an actual emergency key, it's my backup backup.

                        Good solution.
                        Safety first should be for every key holder mandatory.

                            Ines generous keyholder

                            Potentially my partner would be likely to be one, once Iā€™m belted.

                            Well, my reason for belting (in close future) is lot different with others here (dealing with my dysphoria)ā€¦

                              Sin If it is a real emergency do you still have to shave?

                                  Jen well back in January I lost the pic I took of my lockbox and I had to do it then, but I had a buzzcut at the time. If it was a medical emergency or something dangerous I'd like to think she has my back (but she would probably hold me to it eventually!).

                                      šŸ¤£ you are right, but i have already answered most of the old threads, so i will rather read more and look at your new ideas šŸ˜‰

                                      at this point i can also write briefly how we did it on my holiday. my father gave me a sealed envelope, in which there were two more envelopes, one for the belt and one for the bra (also sealed). i had to send him a foro every evening that the envelopes were closed, but i had access to the keys in case of emergency.

                                      Laura She did it already šŸ˜‚

                                      how is that supposed to work? today i am online for the first time in 8 days

                                                I did and I have to say I used it for as long then as it does today, the froum is growing extremely. i haven't read everything in detail because otherwise i would spend the whole night here šŸ˜‚

                                                    Hard and humiliating one!

                                                    I agree.

                                                    But sometimes,it is hard to manage to not cut the lock!šŸ˜‰

                                                    So,even if you have no other solution to get the key,you still have to do that?

                                                    Good way to deal with it.

                                                    What if it was opened?Have to go back home immediately?Otherwise,he could have checked it when back at home.

                                                                That was the plan! It was to make sure I played safe and kept my wits me, and didn't put myself in a vulnerable situation. I've had short hair for most of this year so it's not such a huge deal anymore. But I still don't want to be bald right now. Maybe one day though! It gives me butterflies just thinking about it.

                                                                  Vanessa What if it was opened?

                                                                  Vanessa I may have to skip a few threads too.

                                                                        Angelina i also had an empty envelope with a seal. i should have put the key in there after the emergency, sealed it and sent a photo to my father. šŸ˜‰

                                                                            Vanessa I guess you would have to explain very well why you needed to open it,in such circumstances,right?

                                                                                Angelina
