What kind of lock does your belt have? Is it a normal padlock, small padlock, or the box with the internal locking mechanism that only the key can extract? If your parents are not giving you the key, you might as well file it and try to destroy the padlock yourself. It'll take about 4 hours, but it'll be worth it!
Reasons a chastity belt sucks?
Jen
If you ever get lockpicking tools, I can guide you how to get it out. I do suggest practicing on a bigger masterlock first. If you do have the box with your chastity belt, I'd also say just destroy the lock and keep the new lock and key to yourself, without your parents knowing about it. This way, you can try it out and still have your freedom.
Vanessa Not a good idea.It would be less comfortable than her own belt,and could disgust her even more of chastity,for the wrong reasons(cheap belts and major brand's ones are very different).
She should have this in mind. But if she gos this way she would have everything in her hand. The first result could be the curiosity is satisfied. If she want to explore it further she has to rethink how to go on that it is meaningful.
Step by step is most of the time the best way.
i know that you are an "opponent" of chastity belts and by this simple trick you would lead @Jen to the opinion that the belt is generally bad, because you cannot apply the same standard to a cheap belt as to a branded belt. i do not want to say that a belt is generally good or bad, but it would not be an objective result.
Angelina i do not want to say that a belt is generally good or bad, but it would not be an objective result
It is dependent on what do you want to archive. As I wrote it would be a good way for her curiosity and she has to take in to account the belt is a cheap one. On the other hand she would be totally independent on her parents.
i completely agree with your arguments, i just think that it is not enough to say definitively if a belt is good or bad
Vanessa If they don't accept,no try.
right and then we are in the same situation as we are now and have not moved a step forward 
Jen Maybe by then the cheep belts will be good.
i see it differently, but if @Joh could convince you more i accept it, in the end you have to decide for yourself 
Jen Maybe by then the cheep belts will be good.
Maybe I just got lucky... but mine is solid, comfortable, and easily adjustable for width and length. I wasn't expecting it to be good, I thought I would just use it for training. But now I wear it all the time and I don't feel the need to upgrade at all. I was pleasantly surprised. :-)
Of course,it's her decision.
But she should be well informed about the pros and cons.
Jen Maybe by then the cheep belts will be good.
I doubt it.
Joh Maybe she will find a sponsor for the test.
My-Steel,or Neosteel, with the slogan "so good that even reluctant wearers turn into willingly one as soon as it is on"?
I guess you're lucky,but good it is fine for you!
Another reason to not buy another one.
Vanessa My-Steel,or Neosteel, with the slogan "so good that even reluctant wearers turn into willingly one as soon as it is on"?
Vanessa Another reason to not buy another one.
above all, it would be a complete waste of money. the belt is already there. maybe we should rather think about how @Jen can test it without her parents noticing.
