A pleasure to meet a master lockpick
It was your exploits that brought me to this forum as a result of a search.
Yes, training belt, cheapie to get used to while I sort out something better, is what I mean. Allied with, make all this mistakes with the cheap one that doesn't matter too much if I wreck it ... which is basically what has happened. Ordering from DHGate with no control over the rear wire length (and not knowing how to determine that length even if I DID order from somewhere like spicesforlove) was my critical mistake on this one.
Yes ... we take what we can get
Still, the main project should get me on people's radars for a few minutes, in a few months time. That is my chance to get myself a new Master/KH.
There is one man roughly 200 miles away from me; he took my second virginity (i gave it to him) and has agreed to be my key holder later this year, so I have been preparing with still being single in mind; and that needs a belt which I'm totally comfortable with.
I hope all that makes sense because my life just gets so damn complicated at times!
Hiya Msknight,
Hopefully I can continue to offer fresh ideas and knowledge on these things. If not, there are lots of other very capable women here with a wealth of info and experiences.
Now I understand. Okay, I'm with you now on what that "cheapie belt" means. I pretty much did same: I bought two chinese chastity belts.
Those Chinese belts are only good for a short period of time due to serious design flaws, cheap and too thin steel, silicone edging comes off easily since they come unglued with no instructions on finding a good glue to mount it permanently. So yes, they work for a few months, then they become too worn out and the stinkpoints become a never-ending battle. Wearing a cheapie chinese belt (I feel) is far FAR better to train your body to wear a metal belt than any leather or cloth or other playbaby things like those plastic ones. (pthbbt!)
Now, on to your issues with leg-spacing to hip width proportion...
The only way to fix that is to make a custom sized front shield, msknight. You see, EVERY belt mass produced (custom shops still "mass produce") has a template pattern for that silly front shield outline. Each maker puts their unique interpretation on what the profile and contours of a female front shield ought to look like. ACCESS DENIED had a weird pancake shaped front shield, very wide above clitoris/ pubic mound area and narrowing to between legs. My Steel and NeoSteel both use a very similar narrow design but wider between the legs...each is different. Tollyboy has a very slim-line front shield width profile, but fits very tightly.
What you need to do is measure yourself on many parallel widths, make a pattern out of something rigid like a milk jug plastic and test fit it to your body. A better way is to index tight spots and loose spots on your current chinese belt front shield. Then you can transfer that to a new piece.
I believe that the most crucial element of a female chastity belt is the front shield proper fit. After that, waistband, after that would be the locking mechanism. Find your perfect front shield fit and worry about the other things LATER. You definitely must get that front shield issue resolved before you move on to other non-critical things about your belt.
Hope that helps some.
