FANCY STEEL FSF-001 Female chastity review

Post by Tobbe »

Kitty Denied gives quite the detailed review on Fancy Steel's main Female Chastity Belt, the FSF-001, which brings a refreshing modern take on chastity belt design.

Kitty Denied:
Female chastity is one of my main fetishes. There's nothing that puts me into a submissive mindset quicker than being locked in a chastity belt unable to touch myself. The belt makes me feel helpless, look sad and maybe even look a little guilty since it’s clear that I cannot be trusted to stop playing with my pussy for any reasonable length of time. When the belt is locked on, there's an adjustment period and I spend some time I fidgeting with the thick metal, and looking uncomfortable while I try to reconcile my most slutty thoughts with the knowledge that an orgasm is no longer an option. After a while, it sinks in that my pussy is the property of Sir and my pleasure is at his mercy if not completely ignored. At that point, I easily accept that his needs come first, and he becomes the focus of my existence for whatever length of time he desires.
Image
To sum it up, being denied the pleasure I so desperately crave gives me motivation to eagerly serve Sir with a hopeful attitude that if I behave perfectly and keep him pleased, maybe I will be released. In our dynamic, life is not fair for sluts, so I get nothing in return for my service. This leaves me with the fear of being left belted after he’s done using me, so it’s in my best interest to keep him happy so the act of removing my belt when he’s done is not a hassle to him.

If there's one thing I’ve learned from the internet, it’s that everybody loves seeing a submissive girl securely locked away in a chastity belt, but finding a real life chastity girl is like finding a unicorn (and converting a girl without the fetish into a girl that has the fetish seems to be difficult as well). There are far more men that fantasize about girls in chastity than there are real life chastity girls. This creates a lot of ideas about how female chastity works, with very little real life testing being done.
...
I have a bunch of different Fancy Steel chastity belts, but when I’m looking to have some chastity belt fun, my go-to belt is the Fancy Steel FSF-001 with the combo shield. This is my favorite belt for so many reasons. I like the more classic style metal waist band because it gives me that inescapable bondage-y feeling that I love, and sits on my waist at the perfect spot. I wear mine really tight on my natural waist. I like the way it exaggerates my hip bones and the fact that it cannot come off for any reason. The waist belt is made of thick steel, but bends enough to fit around your waist for a tight fit. The edges are slightly rounded making it possible to wear it without a lining. That being said, if you plan on wearing it super tight, or for an extended period of time, then I would recommend a lining.
The sides of the belt are flared for comfort. My belt has the optional O-rings added. They are attached with a hex screw from the inside, and occasionally need to be tightened. The rings make a fun, and secure anchor point for hands or to attach thigh bands to, not to mention the two toned gold/silver coloring adds to the ornate look of the belt. On my particular belt the O-Rings are set a little more forward than you will see on the fancy steel site. This is because my belt has been re-sized. Another fun fact about the waist belt is that each belt has its own ID plate with a unique number, and Fancy Steel Initials. I’m not actually sure what the numbers and letters mean, but I liked this detail because it makes the belt unique.
Image
One thing I love about Fancy steel belts is that they don’t require a lining in order to wear them comfortably, which is a huge plus. Liners have pros and cons, but generally will require more maintenance than being lining free. Silicone lining can sometimes slip off, but one can shower in it. Neoprene has the most cushion, but can degrade over time. I never tried the neoprene lining so I can’t speak to its comfort, but it appears to be bolted on so there’s no concern about it falling off. The leather lining stays in place and gives some cushioning, but one doesn’t want to get it wet.
My favorite lining is the leather lining. I like that it’s firm and “snaps” in place making it easy to put on and take off. I wear the lining when I have the belt on super tight, and when I’m wearing it over my leather corset so I don’t damage the corset. I also have a pretty big leather fetish, so I love that I can incorporate that with my chastity fetish. You can’t shower with the leather lining, but it’s easy to remove, and you can shower without it. When I first got it, noticed that the black dye from the lining was coming off on my skin pretty bad so I sealed it with some matte Angelus Acrylic finisher and that definitely lessened the color transfer. As with any leather you will need to clean it occasionally with a little saddle soap and condition it to keep it looking nice. I use mink oil on mine to add a little water proofing. Mink oil oxidizes and hardens your leather over time which is fine in this scenario because the lining is firm to begin with.
When I first got my belt I had some super cute pink silicone lining for the edges. The lining stayed in place a lot better than the lining of a cheap chinese belt I had, but it would eventually slide off if I wore it for a long time. I’m sure there is some sort of glue that can hold it in place, but I didn’t care about that lining enough to really investigate it. Since the edges on the fancy steel belt are rolled, you will still be able to wear it. You may even prefer it without a lining..

Just my personal opinion: I don't like FancySteel at all. The belt doesn't have a great look with its wires.
I am also concerned by the leather lining: can it be showered (leather and water are not in very good terms)?
Wearable for long time: no according to the article you give.
I know Kitty Denied a little (and I found an article on her Tumblr). Her longest time in the belt (without any unlockings) is less than 1 day.
I have a very good experience of Chinese belts, and the silicon parts slip rarely. She told the reverse.

I don't say this article is bad (I didn't read it in details). I just say this is not an article I will read in details and trust in.
My opinion is of course influenced by the fact I don't wear my belt for the same reasons as her. Her point of view can be interesting.

I think we should be glad that Kitty writes a long review of the Fancy Steel FSF-001 chastity belt and also shows pictures of different details and how she experiences using it.

Wendy: Kitty talk about the lining, if you read her review:

I said her point of view can be interesting. I just added I will not read her article in details: too long! without titles. She wrote an article on her Tumblr with a much better organisation.

The fact I don't like Fancy Steel is not new: when I have seen Cobie's belt, I didn't like it. But as I said, these are my personal tastes.

It is an interesting review.

This picture illustrates one of several security weaknesses: http://www.discerningspecialist.com/img ... 01-023.jpg the ring attaches to the shield by two right-angled pieces of stainless (I'll call them pins) and enlarging the ring will pull the pins out and allow the belt to be removed.

One aspect I wouldn't like is she mentioned the shield separates her labia rather than covering them. If I understand her description well, I would prefer a slightly wider shield to cover my labia as well.

Also, the three-ball anal plug is a no-no in my mind. The opportunity for that to get dirty and be difficult to clean is very high unless one intends to boil it or wash it in the dishwasher after every use.

Uncoated stainless aircraft cable (the wires) will chafe the skin on an active person.

In this picture: http://www.discerningspecialist.com/img ... 01-004.jpg which looks like the main locking mechanism there's too much space between the wrap left and right which can possibly cause some pinching of the tummy skin on the side that's higher off the backplate.

Just some thoughts. It is nice to see a detailed review though.

molly: I have never worn a Fancysteel belt, but I agree with what you said. Security seems to be weak according to what you say and show.

Pinching due to the locking system: I knew it with my old belt.

The rear ring: by using spanners, it seems easy to break. It is a tip well known to destroy padlocks with 2 spanners.

Security is always a relative concept as any belt can be defeated by a dremel like tool. With the wires actually going through the belt it is much easier said than done to somehow pull apart a combo shield hinge when the belt is worn tight. If worried about it, there are many other shields offered.

I've never heard of or experienced anyone being pinched by the front plate zone. That picture just shows the layering and not the final combination.
