Tightlacing (corsets) has the same effect. Our waists are narrowed past how it normally is, and over time the tightness of the corset can be adjusted until the limits of that particular corset is reached, then a new, smaller one is purchased and the process continues.
The reason why it works like this is over time our bodies will start to "adjust" organ placement inside to compensate for the slow decrease in waist size. Chastity belts can do the same thing, and because the waist belt is the "foundation" of the belt system, it needs to be solidly planted so it can hold the crotch hoop in the right place consistently.
Once upon a time I had the stereotypical Japanese figure - not really curvy or hourglass-y. After 11 years in belts, my waist is 3" smaller without my wearing a belt and 4.5" smaller with my current belt. It's really snug, but very comfortable. 11 years, not a month.
Your experience may be similar or different, but know that our bodies will compensate for the band around our waist over time and the belt will feel "looser" and that allows it to move and shift. Eventually I'll have to replace my belt because it was made without any adjustments. It was slightly tighter than I was used to with my last belt because my husband and I knew over time, my body will get used to it and shift my innards even more and it will become loose. Starting off snugger means I can get more years out of the same belt before replacement is necessary, though I''m thinking in my case I'm about where I'm going to be for years to come only because my BMI index is very good - my mid-section is all muscle and muscles don't shift and change anywhere near as much as internal organs and body fat do. This is why I I run almost every day whereas years ago I ran mostly just on weekends. While I made this change for fitness reasons, I also found a particular size belt will fit much longer without adjustment or replacement by my maintaining at least somewhat of a muscular mid-section.
> My crotch doest remove i dont think - will get my friend to have a look in that respect as im not very practical minded
All of the belts we purchased had little screws and nuts hidden behind the silicone liner. Some were phllips (+) some were allen keys (hex heads). I wouldn't rivet the belt to a particular size until you've worn it a long time (and frequently too) to give your body a chance to adjust itself to accommodate because removing screws to adjust it is a lot easier than drilling out rivets.

Ordinary baby powder works but I preferred the medicated, gold bond brand because at first, I got a bunch of "micro pimples" around my waist from perspiration being captured between my skin and the silicone liner. The saltyness would end up embedded in my liner as the moisture evaporated. I'm also running all the time so my volume of perspiration might be higher than someone else. I also play volleyball (despite my height
) and do other sports as time permits.
