BD1791

i searched the internet briefly, but unfortunately without success šŸ™ i think there was a link here, but i can't find it anymore. but there must be something like that.

    Angelina I believe that the somewhat seriously meant chastity belts made from some kind of high-strength plastic were only one-off prototypes and were never available for sale.

    I think that the issue is lack of market for such a thing (the market is quite obviously driven by BDSM use and plastic belt that is usable for normal life and not only play does not exactly seem to fit into that) rather than technical issues.

      You have first hand experiences with those places and people. Personally, in the situation I think of, I'd find it the less likely variant or even far fetched to assume you were forced - especially when you show up on your own and convey the opposite.

      Anyway, what I wanted to say was starting by 'testing the water' at some favorable occasion not introducing everyone - particularly not in your immediate vicinity - at once.

      You are oviously aware that trying to not tell anybody is a gamble as well. A gamble that many find themselves in.

      BD1791 I don't anticipate a search or anything but it makes my anxiety shot up.

      I'm not sure whether that is the better alternative on the long run. (That's why I hope we can raise the reputation of our choices and devices. Until our fear becomes undoubtedly unsubstantiated. That's for the long run, though.)

      Regarding searches or not, I guess my misunderstanding is fed by my personal experience in these situations: I'm used to scans and security teams that almost surely will stop you and probably pad you down until they have a sufficient answer what caused the alarm. If you only get lax controls, I see why you have different expectations.

      Still, I was wondering whether you already have thought about plan b if you continued with the plan hiding it but a check actually doesn't let you through without identifying all metallic items first?

        yes, i agree. this is generally a big problem, that we are actually only a marginal group and the main group of customers use the belt as a toy or fetish toy. so unfortunately innovations that could make it easier for long-term wearers are permanently suppressed, a real pity.

        Owl they won't. I set it off today and they just greeted me and I kept walking. Me laptop sets it off every time.

          Joh In the meantime, there are plastics that are stronger than stainless steel and weigh less. Especially for such a case, it would be a solution.

          Are you certain you don't have any names of those? My husband has some doctor friends and they said something similar but they aren't certain they support chastity yet

            BD1791 and they just greeted me and I kept walking.

            i didn't quite understand, were you wearing the belt? if so, congratulations.

              Angelina I wasn't wearing it but that's what I hope happens when I am. It just makes me feel better that it's normal for them to not check me.

                Megan Are you certain you don't have any names of those?

                I don't understand what you want to know. Do you want to know the kind of plastic or if a company has a plastic belt?

                  Joh that's my understanding about what she's asking. It would also be really nice for traveling. Couldn't we just use a 3D printer to make them lol šŸ˜‚

                    BD1791 The shild and Lock part would be 3D prints. The belts are made out of parts for Industrial application. The lock I have in mind is a snap-in part with a unique number that has to be destroyed to open the CB. That way it would be without metal.
                    At the moment I am working on a way to adjust the waistband in a certain range without affecting the safety.

                    I have a question about that. If the waistband can only be opened on one side of the central lock, would that be enough? Or is it better if it has to be opened on both sides each time?

                    6373e6b2
                    As far as I know, you are right; there have been prototypes, but never commercially available.
                    I would expect at least one technical difficulty though: such plastics can probably not be bent like metal, so how do you adjust it to the wearer? All the wearers here will have experienced that the belt needs to be adjusted numerous times to prevent chafing and pressure points, and to prevent any cheating. Otherwise you would probably need a design that can be adjusted based on a 3D scan of the body, and hope that it turns out right the first time. And even then, you could not adapt it to changes in the body, except probably slight changes in waist size. And would a 3D scan be sufficient? Is the fit of the belt not more dependent on the underlying bone structure than the surface of the skin that would be measured with such a scan?

                      carg such plastics can probably not be bent like metal, so how do you adjust it to the wearer?

                      I would use flexible plastic belts. You would not need any adjustment of the shape only for the length.
                      The shield could be adjusted accordingly from a 3D scan and printed.

                      carg Is the fit of the belt not more dependent on the underlying bone structure than the surface of the skin that would be measured with such a scan?

                      This concern has every manufacturer to face. And they doing fine with some standard shield shapes. A 3D-scan would help to change some details but it does not mean to change the whole shield shape.

                      BD1791 I wasn't wearing it but that's what I hope happens when I am. It just makes me feel better that it's normal for them to not check me.

                      sounds good, at least it would reduce the danger significantly šŸ˜‰

                      carg

                      so as far as the fit is concerned, i wouldn't make a big deal out of it. i think these plastic belts would only be used in situations where a metal belt can't be worn, which is usually not for long periods of time. there are also different materials that could be used, but i would have to ask an expert how flexible they are.

                      a year later

                      Went scrolling for topics I hadnā€™t seen before that might be worth responding to.
                      I go through the courthouse security fairly regularly when I accompany the attorneys as their assistant. Yes the belt (bra and bands) set off the metal detectors, but this hasnā€™t been as big a deal for me as some would imagine.
                      The first time it happened I simply asked the security officer if I could speak with the supervisor on the unsecured side of the check point. This is an important point, because if they have some objection to you bringing it inside you havenā€™t yet.
                      Once the supervisor came over I went aside with her and just bluntly explained what set it off. She wanted to see a bit of it and do a pat down, but that was it. So a quick pat down, she saw a bit of the waistband and that was that. She informed the others itā€™s a medical device and to just pat me down on the waist.
                      One thing to keep in mind though, Iā€™m there sort of regularly with them so they pay me a bit less attention than visitors who are there for some other reason. For Jane average theyā€™d likely be a bit more invasive to determine that itā€™s not a weapon that set it off.

                        thanks for your experiences, it's interesting how cool some people react when you just have the courage to talk openly about it

                          Angelina I think when interacting with security, law enforcement or emergency services, they likely encounter thousands of people in their day. And have probably seen just about everything we can think of and a few we canā€™t.
                          So it really comes down to how we discuss this with them vs what we are discussing

                            Sasha
                            For the medical side of services I can confirm this.

                            Sasha

                            that's true, i've heard some very strange stories where a chastity belt is still something normal. however, in such a situation i would advise you to say that you wear it for protection, that's certainly the simplest explanation
