I think the double Ds serve two purposes: a) as Ines said, the possibility of locking a block piece (bolt) through both for a strict bondage experience, or b) threading the chain through all four D rings plus the crotch D ring, creating a restrictive mechanism for sitting down or crouching.

    Damien a strict bondage experience

    Not bondage at all. It is very restrictive, but goal is safety. Please, do not mix concept.

        Ines I understand, sorry. Functionally, a block piece is not "safer" than a chain, just more annoying.

          Ines I feel like thigh bands quickly start blurring that line the shorter the chain between them gets. At moderate lengths, I can somewhat understand the security improvement arguments (not safety, mobility restriction is always a hazard), but when it comes to extreme restrictions like only a padlock or even a block piece, I cannot ignore the restraint aspect anymore.

              youdontknowme but when it comes to extreme restrictions like only a padlock or even a block piece, I cannot ignore the restraint aspect anymore.

              It is never used as primary system, even this usage was discarded explicitly in my home.

              However even restrictive it is a safety tool, a hateful one, no doubt, but not related with other terms as "Bondage".
              If we allow that such terms spread in various threads, we only will achieve more trolls.

                  I am considering the 2 D rings over one as you can use the block piece. But looping the chain is a bit more hassle i think. How would you loop it?

                  And what I heard is that when doing the chain in a certain way, when sitting down, the legs are “forced” together. That is what I am looking for, as that is perfect use for me. So the question is if it is better with one or 2 D rings to achieve that.

                      Ines
                      For me it is a safety tool aswell, especially during the night, and when home alone. At those moments I would consider only a padlock or blockpiece, just to not get tempted as it has no use in even trying!

                        Marleen with two. And the hassle of threading the chain through five D-rings seems minuscule compared to the hassle of wearing it 🙂

                            Damien

                            That is absolutely true, the hassle is just once a day probably. As I heard that some girls wear them 24/7, so even maybe less than that!

                            So I can assume the 2 D ring is the best option than for the option of closing the legs automaticly when sitting down?

                            And how is the loop going? I was thinking, even 2 inverted V loops is possible, but to spread the tension even it would be maybe a big loop to all 4 and than in rhe middle to the crotch D ring?
                            If you understand what I mean 😉

                                Welded chains. Run away of padlocks in the chain. They are a hung weight that become not only noisy, but uncomfortable.

                                    Ines
                                    Ok, but if i weld the chains the thighbands become permanent right?

                                        Marleen

                                        Yes, but you can get them out opening the waist band attachments.

                                            Ines
                                            Ok, so you don’t make a loop to the crotch than as I understand?

                                              Laura
                                              Ok, and than only a connection chain from band to band and not to the crotch?

                                                  Usual is a padlock to the crotch or ring to secondary shield. So the set is secondary shield, T chain and bands.

                                                      Ines

                                                      Thank you! I definitly will concider welding. When sleeping in it it is better to have it as flat as possible. The padlock in your leg is not comfortable!
