even though i think it is a pity that you are leaving us, you have written a very valuable post here, everyone should read it at least once. i wish you all the best for the future 🙂

Lana THE TRAINING
Initially i advice you to start small and increase your time. I started in the Chinese stuff for wearing 30min for 2 days and increased wearing time 15 min for rest of the week. After that I increased time by 30min everyday until i reached
10 hour mark. I then stopped increasing time for few days and after that, you can pretty much tell that if you want to continue wearing it for longer periods of time. This is the point where the custom equipment were ordered. By the time the equipment arrived, I was wearing 24/7 and the longest i have ever worn without any break was a whole week. So after that i took a break for 3 days and i stared to wear the custom equipment. I never wore thighbands until this point. I advice you to make some adjustments to the custom belt and bra before you wear it full time. Thighbands are not useful for your protection in any way but, I advice you not to wear it 24/7. The bands should be a fist size from the belt to atleast walk properly. The lower you wear it, the harder it is to walk. The chain should be more than 8cms in general. It took me approximately 4 months to be properly trained.

This is very helpful and accurate Lana I even think you could take your time a little bit slower. There isn't a huge rush that people should expect to get a belt the day before they plan to start wearing it.

Lana Again I never went to poo with my belt on so I dont know exactly what to expect.

This I cannot agree with and I have always found impossible. This is why the good fit is so important so that you can use the restroom !

    This is what concerns me the most when it comes to thoughts about wearing belt. Chain back would help a lot I guess?

      I wear a cable version and poo is possible, but it is a big cleaning effort. I truly try to only do it at home where I can clean the whole area in the shower afterwards. It's possible everywhere, but then cleaning is very time consuming and I clean the area again in the shower as soon as possible. It's very important that you don't miss anything there. I think it's easier with the cable version then with a chain version, but of course I can't compare.

        Cable belt and wet wipes - it's possible. Totally avoid if you can! I normally go without the belt. - but also it's not terrible if I have to.

        Sara2001 No, the cable style.

        I'll ask you something I've already asked @Vanessa. Isn't it terribly exhausting to hold the cable the whole time, I mean it can sometimes take 10-20 minutes?

          It never takes that long for me. It's not extremely exhausting. You just have to be very careful. You can quickly get used to it.

            i imagine that this is very difficult. i always have to check whether the hole is properly positioned, but then i have peace in the meantime.

            It takes me awhile to go to the bathroom. I don't think there is any way to live except with the 2 cables that open in back and you bring you knees up to be comfortable.

              With the cable it's not that bad, I can't compare, but it's relatively easy to clean afterwards.

              no one said it is going to be easy, it is definitely one of the biggest challenges at least from a physical point of view.
