Thank you so much @Ines for your detailed account. It really helped me out. I hope I am not wasting your time, but do you think you could give us some updates on your review of the belt. You have been wearing it for over a year now, right? But first let me give you some updates on my situation.

When I first posted in this forum over a year ago, I approached the subject of wearing a belt with my then girlfriend now fiancee. At first she was not into it at all and the subject was put on ice for several month. When we got engaged the subject was brought up again and after several long discussions we might be far enough to move forward with buying one. Nevertheless my fiancee is still quite sceptic about the whole concept and I don't want to scare her off (hence why fancysteel is kind of appealing). So there is not going to be anything like tigh bands or chastity bra. The belt will not be worn 24/7, since I am not sure it is possible her doing lots of sports and working with little children (on the floor). So there will be a lot of unlocks and relocks, especially in the beginning and I am pretty sure she will have access to an emergency key all the time. So for now a lot will still depend on an honor system. That being said, I want the belt to be as comfortable as possible while still providing adequate protection while being worn.

In your review you said several things I would be curious to know:

  • You mostly wear it with thigh bands installed. How does the security of the belt compare to your other belts if you were them both without?
  • How would the comfort compare? I think in your review you said, that (because of the tightness) you cannot wear the belt for more than 3 days straight, is that still an issue after such a long time. Is your other belt (I think neosteel) more comfortable in this regard, even now?
  • One of her major concerns is using the bathroom, while wearing the belt. Is there any difference you can tell us, which one of your belts is easier to handle/clean while using the bathroom?
  • I assume the fancy steel belt is easier to conceal underneath clothing, is there a difference in comfort when walking, standing and sitting as well?

Ines Yes, you can, it is very safe belt and very well made, if you only care for avoid orgasm and sex, it is perfect.
However if the belt is intended to avoid all stimulation, as my case, then you need wear it tight.

In your review you said it needs to be (almost uncomfortable) tight and include thigh bands to prevent simulation. I would assume the same is true for other belts as well, is it not? Without thigh bands it would always be possible to achieve at least some stimulation, right?

Anyway I mostly care about her being protected when going out with friends or walking home after work. And if it also helps her from orgasming that would be more than enough for me. Because of the honor system she could sneak in something in the time she is unlocked by herself, but she would never do that, I trust her completely! Especially since I want to make sure she is satisfied in that department when I am with her.

Would you maybe make a recommendation about the type of model you think is right for my case? Based on your experience.

Thank you so much in advance, I wish you well and stay healthy!

    PaulE her doing lots of sports

    I am always released, but @Megan plays sport with it, and she is totally credible.
    About work, she would not have any problem.

    PaulE You mostly wear it with thigh bands installed. How does the security of the belt compare to your other belts if you were them both without?

    Well, I do not use it most of time with thigh bands. I only use them when it is necessary. FS is totally safe, ( I have old model, recently I discovered they have one newer model), and shield is bigger than it seems, however, I wear it very tight.

    PaulE How would the comfort compare? I think in your review you said, that (because of the tightness) you cannot wear the belt for more than 3 days straight, is that still an issue after such a long time. Is your other belt (I think neosteel) more comfortable in this regard, even now?

    I can wear it more time, but sometimes if I wear it a lot of time, and specially if I need wear bands, sometimes I have small bruises on my hip skin. They do not hurt, but they are there.

    PaulE One of her major concerns is using the bathroom, while wearing the belt. Is there any difference you can tell us, which one of your belts is easier to handle/clean while using the bathroom?

    I do not like so much talk about this... but at the end it is part of share experiences... Yes, due I wear it tighter, when I go toilet is but more... spray... 😓

    PaulE I assume the fancy steel belt is easier to conceal underneath clothing, is there a difference in comfort when walking, standing and sitting as well?

    It is my only hip belt. I can not compare, but it is comfortable.

    PaulE I would assume the same is true for other belts as well, is it not? Without thigh bands it would always be possible to achieve at least some stimulation, right?

    Yes, but you should note that other belts have a rigid plate between waist an crotch, since FS uses cable, it has to be very tensed to avoid bending. Yes, without bands you always can slide something or reach outer places under shield.

    PaulE And if it also helps her from orgasming that would be more than enough for me.

    As every good belt they are totally orgasm proof. She will be totally safe, she does not have to worry about it.

    PaulE Thank you so much in advance, I wish you well and stay healthy!

    I always recommend a good belt, rightly measured, and bands only for sometimes. FS is the nicer design, however, I think my model is nicer than current one.

      Ines Well, I do not use it most of time with thigh bands. I only use them when it is necessary. FS is totally safe

      Thank you for making that plain.

      Thanks, I have never considered the slim fit model. It looks quite easy to hide under clothing. Unfortunately it looks to me like a strong man could force it of her. That's a major concern for both of us. She considers wearing the belt mostly because she often feels unsafe walking alone after dark. Don't get me wrong, I don't know and could be wrong, but the belt should not primarily be safe enough for her to break out, but for somebody else to break in.
      Is it as, or even more comfortable then the standard waist band?

      @Ines Thank you so much, that is some very valuable advice and quite a quick response. If you don't mind I would like to ask a few follow ups:

      Ines Well, I do not use it most of time with thigh bands. I only use them when it is necessary.

      I don't really understand, when exactly are they necessary. Do you mean you were them when you are at risk? (At risk of what?) Or do you mean you wear them when it is possible and not super inconvenient? I am sorry if I don't understand your English correctly. It is not my first language.

      Ines It is my only hip belt. I can not compare, but it is comfortable.

      As far as I understand you are a somewhat willing wearer and can choose your belt. Which one is your go to belt nowadays? Which belt do you pick when staying at home, which one do you pick when going out/working/studying? What is your main criteria which belt you pick out? And which one do you were more often? If so, do you do it because of hip/waist or is it the fs design?

      Ines As every good belt they are totally orgasm proof. She will be totally safe, she does not have to worry about it.

      I don't think she worries a lot about being orgasm proof, but thanks for reassuring me 😉.

      Ines since FS uses cable, it has to be very tensed to avoid bending

      That always sounds so uncomfortable to a man, but you already said, that it is not, right? Maybe because we do have different physiology, but a more rigid shield sounds way better, than something more flexible but pressed hard against you.

      Thanks again and take care!

        PaulE I have never considered the slim fit model. It looks quite easy to hide under clothing. Unfortunately it looks to me like a strong man could force it of her.

        Nope. It's steel cable, and if the diameter of the waistband is smaller than your hip structure, it's not coming off without bolt cutters. It's as simple as that.

        This doesn't appear to be your partner's kink (yet), but it's nice that she's willing to share. I would suggest a cable belt to start with too. Please just take it easy and let her explore it without expecting too much. There's a lot of misinformation online that skews people's perceptions.

        Regarding exercise, I wear mine under yoga pants....I've taught a few classes with it on, but I would prefer not to. I think anything more energetic would hurt. I wouldn't even think of suggesting that to her.

          PaulE It is not my first language.

          It is not mine, so, probably, I did not explain myself rightly.

          PaulE I don't really understand, when exactly are they necessary.

          Well, they are necessary when we will have enough time alone. Use them for go to work or even go out with friends is a nonsense. Use them at night or when I am going to be alone in home, obviously, mandatory if there is not a good reason, (which can exist, of course).

          PaulE somewhat willing wearer

          Totally willingly and I am very skeptical about other usages.

          PaulE Which belt do you pick when staying at home

          Usually, NS. But if I was wearing FS because I went out, I can not ask for a change. One thing is to have needs and another being a brat and disturbing keyholders without reason.

          PaulE What is your main criteria which belt you pick out?

          Clothes! Easy but true.

          PaulE That always sounds so uncomfortable to a man, but you already said, that it is not, right?

          Probably, if she does not need wear it so tight as mine, she will find it, even, more comfortable.

            PaulE Thanks, I have never considered the slim fit model. It looks quite easy to hide under clothing. Unfortunately it looks to me like a strong man could force it of her. That's a major concern for both of us. She considers wearing the belt mostly because she often feels unsafe walking alone after dark. Don't get me wrong, I don't know and could be wrong, but the belt should not primarily be safe enough for her to break out, but for somebody else to break in.

            I could be wrong too but I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about. As I reported in my intro I was assaulted twice before I started wearing mine so I wanted to get a good one, regardless of price and I did. Don't cheap out on this. My father had to put it in a vise to help me fit it so I don't quite see how a strong man could get it off an unwilling person.

              PaulE I have never considered the slim fit model.

              I can imagine it biting my hip's flesh... No thanks.

              Sin .I've taught a few classes with it on, but I would prefer not to. I think anything more energetic would hurt.

              Totally agree, I have played, even, some matches in the yard, but no more of that. Even they cause redness.

                Ines I can imagine it biting my hip's flesh... No thanks.

                You made that up.

                • Ines replied to this.

                  Avery I have one. It needed adjustment at first but is fine now and is secure but I do NOT wear it 24/7 or use a secondary shield so it's not clear what my experience is worth.

                  do you think it would be possible to wear the belt 24/7, i.e. would the belt be safe and comfortable enough for such purposes?

                    Thanks @all for your help!

                    Sin Nope. It's steel cable, and if the diameter of the waistband is smaller than your hip structure, it's not coming off without bolt cutters. It's as simple as that.

                    Avery I could be wrong too but I don't think you have any idea what you are talking about.

                    As I said, I have never seen more than a picture, so my assessment wasn't very objective.

                    Avery As I reported in my intro I was assaulted twice before I started wearing mine

                    I am so sorry for that. That is terrible! The belt we wanna buy is thought of as a deterrent for exactly that kind of situation, but of course deep in your mind you always think that something like that never happens to yourself. I really hope not, but maybe it will be the best decision in our life...

                    Ines Use them at night or when I am going to be alone in home, obviously, mandatory if there is not a good reason, (which can exist, of course).

                    I see. Thanks for sharing. I don't think that would be an option for us, since we life together and I am often away for several days at a time. When I am there there is probably no need, and when I am away she will have a key to take the belt of, at least for sports, but probably also work.

                    One question: Since I would like her to wear it at least during her trip home from work, is it possible to put the belt in a backpack and put it on after work in a toilet. My-steel seams to have some kind of travel option to compress the belt, but I am pretty sure it takes a long time to disassemble and reassemble the belt. Are there other options that can easily be transported and put on/taken off quickly?

                    Ines Totally willingly and I am very skeptical about other usages.

                    ... yes! That's why I do think it is an amazing gesture if a girl agrees to be belted for her husband.

                    Ines Usually, NS. But if I was wearing FS because I went out, I can not ask for a change.

                    So do I have it correct? Neosteel is more comfortable to wear, but your fancy steel is easier to hide? Do you think that to be because of the design or because of waist vs. hip? Which one would you normally pick if you went to work or study?

                    Most important question: If you could have only one belt, which would you pick? (Could also be hip neosteel or waist fc)

                    Ines Probably, if she does not need wear it so tight as mine, she will find it, even, more comfortable.

                    It was just me thinking about it as a man, but since I have have never been a woman and never even seen a fancy steel belt its probably very hard for me to tell.

                    @Ines I am so sorry for bothering you with so many questions. If it is to much, I will not bother you any further. You just seem to be the only one here who has experience with either belt.

                    Thanks again and take care!

                      Avery
                      I do not understand you.
                      What do you try that I understand?
                      That it is not tight and do not hurt in hips?
                      Do you wear it very tight?

                        PaulE

                        PaulE am so sorry for bothering you with so many questions. If it is to much

                        You do not bother me at all, it is a chastity belt forum!

                        PaulE but I am pretty sure it takes a long time to disassemble and reassemble the belt. Are there other options that can easily be transported and put on/taken off quickly?

                        I can be put in a backpack, but not in a small feminine one. It should be bigger.

                        PaulE Do you think that to be because of the design or because of waist vs. hip?

                        Mostly due to hip design, but it has less locks too, take in account that secondary shield is not removable (it has screw).

                        Angelina do you think it would be possible to wear the belt 24/7, i.e. would the belt be safe and comfortable enough for such purposes?

                        Yes I do. I've worn it for as long as 1 1/2 days when there were boys I didn't know staying over. That's not a long time but I had no problems.

                          PaulE I am so sorry for that. That is terrible! The belt we wanna buy is thought of as a deterrent for exactly that kind of situation, but of course deep in your mind you always think that something like that never happens to yourself. I really hope not, but maybe it will be the best decision in our life...

                          I'm glad I went ahead with the belt. Talking to the police was very helpful but in a way kind of scary.
