Sure you won't find a proper one for $50 but the ones for about $150 - 200 from China look pretty usable to me as someone who has no experience with female belts - but looks like they're intended to be worn a long time. And I couldn't find anything where you could directly see that this parts would make problems
Cheap steel chastity belt
Like for example Neosteel has ones that are still cheap, like one for €700, and ones, that are expensive like one for 900€. But from what I've read in german communities so far is that both are said to be fine. I think if you are not obsessed with having one who fits 100% perfect and doesn't make any minor issues, you can also get one for smaller money. There are also people who can't afford too expensive ones and still want to be kept chaste. If they don't mind minor issues it might be ok for them.
I also had a problem once with my cadge. Did anyhow manage to break my penis. Sounds weird, I know, because there are no bones to break, but doc meant that also blood vessels can break. Anyway, it did put if of for some time and back on later. I hadn't had the problem ever since again. Shit happens sometimes, even if the cadge has been ok for ages. But that doesn't make the cadge totally unuseable.

But at the end are not minor issues, this in around you all the day, in a lot of postures and moments. It has to be perfect and smooth.
In the moment in which it moves can irritate you, and if it is painful, you will can not think in another thing.
Is similar when you feel some itch in mid of night, you can do nothing at all.
Max, I can not tell you any terrible story, since I am a proud and happy wearer, but it seems that you see the whole point with excess of optimism.
I'm a student so I haven't made too much expersience with expensive stuff in thi cathegory. But from what I've read in the german communities is the this might not even be too bad. Like also for example the brand Neostell. Also sells cadges that are said to be fine for about €700. And they don't look too different from the copies... actually the same. If you have made the experiance that you can't find something proper for less then 1000€... alright, your experience. Might also be that german manufacturers are simply a bit cheaper in general. Because Neosteel is actually a premium brand.

Tobbe I am more worried that some parent is reading what you write and think they can save money by buying these cheap belts
You shouldn't worry. The experienced female wearers know what works and what doesn't. If parents rely on @Max9 's opinion, rather than ours, too bad for same, they just read what they want to read
Max9 You can look at pictures and think it looks the same. But if you have seen one in reality you will immediately see the difference. When these adjustable came, I ordered some to see how it could be so cheap. I laughed when I opened the package. Never that I would look one on a woman!!!
After that, I received requests from women who understood that it was not working. My advice is always to throw away the garbage and buy a real one.
Max9 I feel they both should have it about same difficult. Maybe holding each others key?
I think that's the best thing but somehow I can't get approval for that
PS: this discussion here first of all misses the point and secondly you can't win this discussion. a good belt is custom made for your body measurements and costs 700 to 1000 euro
Sure, a good one is costum made. But I still believe that also one from 300 - 700€ can be used for some time. Maybe not the first, maybe the tenth... alright, simply different opinions from what I've tested once and read and what you've experienced. I don't want to doubt you're the pros in this. But to be honest. From what I've read you also get an acceptable one for cheaper you can work with. Sure, you always have issues and maybe need to fix some stuff. But alright.
