UPDATE: continued review now that I am actually WEARING this chastity belt]
First, some observations and feeling on wearing this belt:
- This belt has 3 problem areas:
1. The anus ring digs in and pinches butt meat around sphincter.
2. The front shield swell is too low and unable to be raised in center of anus and urethra is to be correct.
3. Shipped waistband liner too short and pinches belly fat in gap between liner ends.
These are non-correctable problems. You either live with them and struggle through body adaptation to these conditions, or you do not.
There is one smallish cure for anus ring dig in, however, you need a small butt and plan to not use secondary shield. You can lay your anus ring WHILE BELT IS LOCKED and in shape (off your body) and lightly curl down the center widest part of the anus ring against a round headed bed post or something. This will cause some cast in the Z-axis of the shape. (x-axis is your front to back curvature facing from FRONT, Y-axis is your SIDE VIEW curl from back to front.)
I was only able to get just a few mm of bend to it, and it did help alleviate some butt meat dig in, but it did not cure this. Keeping the area around your sphincter moisturized helps prevent the silicone edging from sticking.
The good stuff about this belt, how it makes me feel:
1. I love the rigidity of the belt, something the florentine does NOT have: rigid feeling
2. Urinating while in this belt is almost like not even wearing a chastity belt, it is just that easy! Wiping and cleaning up is a snap.
3. Wiping after defecating is trickier, but not impossible. My belt does not scrape any fecal matter in passing. Good thing.
4. Aside from liner and copper rivets, this belt is 100% stainless steel so there will not be rusting issues like the florentine.
5. This style belt keeps you VERY MINDFUL of your weight. I gained 2 pounds and find the belt is not happy with me about that. Oddly enough, the chastity belt is a wonderful stop eating aid.
6. While walking, you do not even feel you are wearing a belt. (its when you SIT DOWN, or rather PLOP DOWN, that the belt punishes you with a pinch to the butt meat)
7. This belt has no stink points like the florentine has. (and it has a gabillion stink points). Foreseeable stink point development would be between liner and vagina and anus metal area. Be sure to keep the liner well glued and tight in this area and no stink points will arise!
8. This style chastity belt sans secondary shield has no mechanical pinch points in its design. (like the florentine does)
I have found you have to scootch around your butt while back sleeping, and you will wake up with a sore butt anyways. Talcum or cocoa butter your butt before bedtime and you will sleep more peacefully.
Side sleeping hurts the butt meat. Do not lay with knees together, rather, lay with both knees on mattress, or USE A BODY PILLOW. (body pillows help muchly with this style belt)
Belly sleeping is the most comfortable for being in this belt, but I do not belly sleep more than a few minutes at a time, so this option is unavailable to me. If you are a belly sleeper, this chastity belt is a dream to wear...and the pressure on the mons venus is a delicious sensation..
The new lock design I created on this belt gives no lumpy feeling, bonus.
