I went in BoundCon, I Tried the Carrara belt and bra, and I wanted to share my feelings about it.
1st: what did I try? pictures will be clearer than words:
Pictures:
I tried only the belt and the bra. I didn't want to take my cuffs off on the left picture, and I kept my collar.
The guy on the right picture was a visitor, I played with him. Don't worry: I injured no one with my sword, and my marks are harmless. (my sword is out of plastic, I would never have been allowed to bring a steel sword)
Now, my point of view:
Pros:
- belt abd bra have a great style, I love what I llok like when I tried them,
- the belt has a foam, much more comfortable than silicon,
- the waistbelt of Carrara is lower than my usual belt (watch the dark marks),
- the bra looks like a classic bra of steel, I could show it publicly (whereas my My-Steel bra is bulky and quite agressive).
Cons:
- belt and bra have wires in the back, and since I'm quite skinny, I get a lot of pressure because of them,
- the locks are not protected at all, they can very easily be destroyed by boltcutters,
- the cups of the bra are open, and I was able to touch my breasts,
- the belt was too loose, but it was a trial model (the problem is: I needed to tighten it, and tighter means more pressure).
Personal conclusion
This is only my point of view, an other girl will say something else.
Carrara for shoots or plays is great, I really felt as a warrior with her sword. But as far as safety is concerned, I clearly prefer My-Steel.
