Happy to hear it is getting more comfortable! Any news on your Neosteel belt and bands?
BD update
BD1791 It's getting more comfortable but sleeping is a real challenge.
Nice to see you here.
I feel bad for your infection... Is everything right currently?
Sleep is always a difficult issue until you get used. Buy a breastfeeding cushion, it allows you experiment with plenty of positions.
If bands do not have a short chain or block piece, are compatible with cushions too.
Bryan he emailed 2ish weeks ago that it was almost done but I haven't followed up. I'll email for an update.
Ines I'm good now. It was a UTI which is never fun. Hopefully it's a very long time before I have another.
I have a full length body pillow that I think is similar to what you are suggesting. The belt just feels so tight against me. It's better on my back but I've always been a side sleeper. I really hope it gets better 
BD1791 It's going well physically but I'm not sure how I feel about it emotionally. I'm still sorting through how different it feels to know I can't take the belt off whenever I want and it's not his decision.
How are things going emotionally now that you've been locked in for a couple months now without direct access to your keys?

Hopefully a shiny new present for the new year. I am sure everyone here would enjoy any updates you are willing to share.

I'm not really sure about the emotional side. Mostly I don't like that I can't take it off when I want to. It's not even sexual it's just not wanting it on. I hope that goes away too.
I'm still waiting for the neosteel. I haven't even received a shipping notice yet. I meant to email him but I was very busy with the holidays and it fell though the cracks.
BD1791 I have my original belt, a fancy steel. I haven't received anything from neosteel yet.
right, you have two belts, i forgot. were the thighbands only ordered for the neosteel belt?
BD1791 It's not even sexual it's just not wanting it on. I hope that goes away too.
it gets better from week to week, but you will always have moments when you don't want to wear it, i think a supportive key holder is then the most important thing. 
Angelina the thigh bands are only with the neosteel so I don't have them yet.

He's pretty supportive but I don't know if it will get better. Part off my thinks I have lived too much life without it to adjust to this lifestyle now.

BD1791 When we are not together it's only off for supervised showers. He has a camera I have to have on so he can see I'm not going anything I'm not supposed to while cleaning.
It sounds like you both live separately but sometimes stay over at each other's places? How do you unlock your belt when he isn't there and you want to take a (supervised) shower?
BD1791 at the courthouse with all the metal detectors so he said I don't have to wear to work tomorrow.
Have you tried yet wearing your belt to the metal detector courthouse?
BD1791 Do you have a time-period in mind you want to wear it before making any decisions about long-term wear?
Bryan It sounds like you both live separately but sometimes stay over at each other's places? How do you unlock your belt when he isn't there and you want to take a (supervised) shower?
We weren't living together at the time I wrote that but he's in the process of moving in. When he's not here we have a safe that he opens from an app on his phone. I can't access the key on my own. He has to open it.
Bryan Have you tried yet wearing your belt to the metal detector courthouse?
No I haven't. If I have to be in person at that courthouse then I don't wear the belt to work that day. Most things are still remote though so it's not very often that I'm not wearing it.
Bryan you have a time-period in mind you want to wear it before making any decisions
He has control over that and he wants me to wear it.
Bryan Does this mean no more wearing your belt overnight? :-)
... I have not been wearing the belt overnight but not because of the access stuff. It's because I have really been struggling to sleep with it on and I need sleep to function. His goal is that it be on all of the time except for when we are intimate. We are hoping that the new belt will be more comfortable but I'm beginning to think I just need to adjust. I'm not really sure if I can though. Daytime I have no issues but at night I struggle.
BD1791 to sleep with it on and I need sleep to function.
Yes, any belt is more valuable than a good rest.
BD1791 His goal is that it be on all of the time except for when we are intimate.
It is expected coming of a partner. 
BD1791 Daytime I have no issues but at night I struggle.
As everyone of us BD, my biggest crises were at night, always arises a bad itch, or you think, or you feel desire, or you feel bad feeling powerless inside your belt.
I recognize myself in your posts. My begginer myself, I mean.
BD1791 He's pretty supportive but I don't know if it will get better. Part off my thinks I have lived too much life without it to adjust to this lifestyle now.
yes, i understand the thoughts, in the end it is a question that you and your partner have to clarify. how important is the chastity belt? what are all the pros and cons? then you can develop a regime. But that takes time and experience, which you are currently doing
yes, it's always hardest at night, i think almost every girl can confirm that. maybe the belt isn't necessary at night, when it's lying next to you in bed it doesn't actually need a "control tool"
Angelina yes, it's always hardest at night, i think almost every girl can confirm that
I've seen a lot of this type of comments on the forum and I admit that they surprise me a bit, because my experience with wearing a chastity belt is different (of course, I'm a man, so there may be differences). The belt (cheap, Chinese) has always been the most comfortable for me at night, when my physical activity was limited to turning from side to side in bed. However, I was unable to wear it during the day, especially outside the home - it rubbed my thighs, it was also visible under my pants (unless I was wearing loose cargo pants). The various chastity cages, on the other hand, were comfortable during the day, while sleeping in them was difficult, because the morning erection was torturous in them (the belt did not allow for erections).
probably your problem was the cheap belt. a branded belt that is made to measure should not cause such problems neither at night nor during the day. there is no guarantee, but with branded belts the risk is lower. besides, i was talking more about the mental problems than the physical ones. at night nothing distracts us, so from my point of view it is harder

Sometimes that happens to me but mostly it's my inability to get comfortable. I like to curl up on my side but the belt won't let me curl. I actually haven't tried to sleep with it on in a while. It's possible he's given up on me wearing at night. We'll need to talk about it but I've been really overwhelmed at work so we haven't had much time.
Angelina how important is the chastity belt? what are all the pros and cons? then you can develop a regime.
I think it's pretty important to him and because of that it's important to me. I like him controlling it and me too a certain extent but I don't want to be miserable forever either. I think we may ultimately find that it's a day thing when I'm not with him but not something I can do at night. I don't know. It's more stressful than I anticipated.
