I guess for a certain kind of person, tearing down the creative work of others is their only source of joy in life.

    no one does that, some of your ideas are not bad at all and if someone criticises something, then only to improve the ideas. 🙂

    When I created this topic, I did do with the expectation that other people would and should post their ideas regarding the perfect belt. If you have ideas of your own, by all means step up to the mic and let us hear them.

    The rear pressure plate could arguably take the form of two circular or D-shaped pucks, but I think the large-area “racetrack”-shaped plate is probably the better approach.

    The front pressure plate would be trapezoidal in shape, larger on top than at the bottom, with two small circular cutaways at the upper left and upper right corners.

    The bottom edge of the plate would rest against the pubis bone. The upper left and upper right corners would rest against the protruding pelvic bone(s).
    The plate would need to have a substantial concave curvature, so that it could be pressed firmly against the soft tissues of the wearer’s abdomen.

    It pretty much goes without saying that this would have to be custom made for each individual wearer.

    audioguy58 I really hope you're not referring to me, but seeing as I'm the one who responded the most in this thread I'm sorry if you think that way... I didn't mean to offend you. I genuinely thought it was the most interesting thread we've had on here for ages, and I thought I might have something to offer.

    If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions about your designs? I'm not being a dick I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say.

      Sin If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions about your designs?

      Sure. That’s fine.

      “A chastity belt needs to be safe, effective, and practical, in that order.”

      Quoted from my original 1993 document Chastity Belt Project: Requirements, Assumptions, and Expectations.

      “In that order” means that if a belt fails the requirement for safety, questions of effectiveness or practicality are rendered moot. If the belt fails to meet the requirement for effectiveness, the question of practicality is rendered moot.

      With regard to safety, the belt should not “materially” or “qualitatively” increase the severity of the wearer’s injuries if the wearer were to be involved in an automobile accident. I still haven’t decided whether “materially” or “qualitatively” is the appropriate standard.

      Practicality refers to such issues as can the belt be worn continuously, without having to take it off to use the bathroom? Is the belt concealable under clothing?

        audioguy58

        i would perhaps replace practical with comfort, which for me would include all the issues that make it possible for the wearer to wear the belt. i think after safety it is the most important point, maybe even before safety, because a belt can be 100% safe, but it is useless if the wearer cannot wear it.

        Regarind OP: Wasn't there a belt with a similar look to what you described made in the mid 90s? I forgot what it was called but they only made like 10-50 of them or something, I forgot what its called but there's like 5 pictures of it on the internet and searching it up only ends up with mass produced chinese crap, so it's hard to find.

        I honestly didn't like the look of some parts of the belt (it more or less looked like someone got playdough and smashed a belt together with it) but apparently it's moulded hardened plastic or something, which is something you don't find today.

        But yeah I agree that the material of the belt doesn't matter so much once you've achieved the desired purposes with minimal compromise.

        Sin Stainless steel is inert - it doesn't react with other substances, which is why it works so well for piercing and surgical instruments (and chastity belts)

        Actually not 100% true, very few people will still react with some types of stainless steels, even the surgical 420 and 440 series. The reason why stainless steels are considered "stainless" in the first place is because like aluminium, they generate a tough, water resistant protective oxide layer that is (usually) adequate for their use purpose. 420 and 440 stainless steels are generally difficult and expensive to work with which is why manufacturers typically use 316 and 304 series.

        audioguy58 I had also wanted to assemble a “dream team” of medical doctors:

        Look into jura's cocoon ace. He's made a cast model for the front piece of his belt which works extremely well. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for other areas, and the front piece cannot be adjusted on the fly, so customisation for customer's requests are limited to prefab casts and they're made from 304 steel while the rest of the belt is made from 316, but you can choose to coat them. I had both my front and rear crotch pieces coated in teflon but unfortunately it didn't work as well as I'd anticipated as a reduced sticky coating.

        audioguy58 Quoted from my original 1993 document

        nothing beats quoting yourself 😉

          zbovka I really like the design of the Cocoon but not the tube assembly. My ideal belt would be the back and lower section of the cocoon but the front of the Behind Barz, but instead of having the 3 locks of the Behind Barz, one single lock on the front would be preferable.

          I too really like the design of the Cocoon, I think that and Neosteel offer the best currently available options for male full belts. The Neosteel Fun has been the closest to perfect of any belt I've tried. I really like the minimalist design with the spaceless hipband and lack of front shield which really isn't necessary for a male belt, though I could see how some people would still find a shield more comfortable. The minimal design also makes hygiene easier, especially while showering when I am unable to remove my belt.

          I only have some minor issues with it, for example sometimes the rear cable causes soreness around my tailbone and having the testicles free on either side of a steel tube sometimes results them getting a bit squished. It would be nice if one day there could be better lock options for the Neosteel, almost every lock has a weakness but at least security seals are an option so the keyholder would know if the wearer had removed their belt.

          The modular design is really nice and probably something that any high quality belt should have, allowing the wearer to swap the major parts such as the crotch module or hipband for something that works better. One way to address the comfort issues I have is that I could purchase a secondary crotch module of a different design, possibly the sports model with the ergo rear design. The idea here being that a different design will put pressure in different spots thus giving some relief to sore spots caused by my main module. This is an expensive solution, but at least its an option. For now I'll do my best to address these issues in hopes my body can fully adapt.

          I do agree with some major points in the OP - especially that being measured in person, use of best available materials/manufacturing and high tech locks.

          There isn’t any commercially-produced belt that’s remotely comparable to what I'm proposing here. That is precisely the point of this thread.

          And, If you’re still trying to argue that Neosteel, or any other sheet-metal belt is “just as good” as a Goethals, or just as good as what I'm proposing here, you are by definition an idiot and you’re polluting the thread with junk posts.

          The Jura Cocoon looks pretty good as commercially-produced belts go, but I'm not seeing any features in their design that I could truly learn from, therefore the post doesn’t belong here IMHO.

            Just to clarify and amplify what I said in the previous post:

            I don’t think there should be any content referencing a commercially-produced belt here at all, unless you’re referring to some specific FEATURE of said belt, something that you feel must be included in the design of the perfect, ideal belt. Otherwise, it’s just a junk post, and not welcome.

              I think you could be a bit nicer in your comments. You mentioned some posts ago that if members had thoughts about what they thought was a better option in their opinion that they should state that. That opened the door for people to say what they think would make the ideal belt. You don't have to agree with their opinion but you did ask for it.. this is a discussion after all. If you don't want people to give their opinion about what their ideal belt looks like then don't ask for thoughts and feedback. It may be the words that you use in describing your belt idea but to me it sounds bulky, uncomfortable and impractical..

              That is my opinion and you have a right to disagree with that opinion. My more ideal version is definitely different than what you suggest and I described it in my comments above. Feel free to disagree, but if you want discussion and thoughts then don't suggest people's discussion is trash or a junk post.

              Its a great way to keep a conversation going to call people you disagree with idiots. Don't worry, you've disqualified yourself as someone worth engaging any further conversationally. Take care.

              Eh... same way that I defended you in some moments, now I have to warn you: probably you are right, BUT, here everyone is free to opine and that does not become anyone in stupid.
              So, here can opine everybody in a POLITE way.
