Female chasity devices?

[Echoes]

I have done a search and found a similar thread on chasity devices for the male gender yet have not found anything in regards to female gender.

Has anyone here had experience with using or implementing these on their slave/submissive?
If so, holding the only key per say...how would she clean herself on a day to day basis?
Is this something you would recommend?
What are your views, comments and ideas please?

[Nipz]

Any one? I have the same questions? any one have any input?

Hmmmm... sorry to say I don't have any information currently. But would be interested in the answer(s) as well.

[Echoes]

I have been spending my time searching the net for more information and insight after first asking my question here.

First I have found a few varieties chastity belts and I will post these here in seperate posts. If anyone has anything to which they wish to add, change or debate upon, please do not hesitate as I have had no experience with these and welcome any forthcoming knowledge, thanking you in advance.

I also do not wish to ill-advise anyone, these are just what I have found, some of which others have posted their experience.

The most reliable and recommended Chastity Belt is found to be a Metal Chastity device, highly recommended and best for long term wear because of it being stainless steel, thus better hygeine-wise as well as tamper proof unless of course you decide to head to a locksmith.
Metal belts are most expensive (approximately 600 - 1000 dollars) compared to their counterparts and require exact measurements for success, thus taking a few months for delivery.

Attached are pictures as well as an email to which seems to be viable and true but the absolute fact is again unknown to me.

An email posted about wearing a chastity belt to which I found most interesting...

By a woman living in a chastity belt
In for the time being, a story in three chapters

September 1996
1. Chapter: first experiences with my chastity belt
Some time ago it occurred to me that a longer period of complete chastity, I thought about half a year or so, would very much enrich my experience. With chastity I especially mean, the avoidance of masturbation. Because my husband is away from home a lot, I do not have intercourse a lot, adultery is, for me, not in question.
I could not however, suppress my desire for masturbation with just my mind. I have tried several times, but failed each time after a very short while. Mostly it started with my tenderly, often unwittingly, touching my vagina with my fingers. Often this touching ended with orgasm.
A (girl) friend gave me the idea of wearing a chastity belt. She jokingly remarked that I should have a chastity belt put on me if I could not control myself otherwise. This joke increasingly became reality for me. After I informed myself as best I could where good chastity belts were to be had, I ordered one at Constance Enterprises in the USA. It is a La Ceinture de Chastete belt. This belt was made to my exact measurements that I had to fill in into a rather longer table. I have found no source in Germany that makes good chastity belts at an acceptable price. It took over two months before my belt finally arrived.
At first sight the belt looked relatively comfortable. At first I put it on for a few minutes to check whether it really fit. It was tight but really fit very well. I very soon decided to start a chaste phase that I could not end at whim. One Friday I deposited both keys in a bank safe 200 km away. When I got home the bank had closed already. Without a long hesitation I put the belt on and clicked the lock closed. Even if I wanted to, I could not free myself until next Monday.
The first hours passed without any problem, even urination went surprisingly well. It was however very unusual to do this with a naked lower body. The first night also went very well. I woke up a few times because when I moved in my sleep, my skin got pinched under the belt. Saturday became very disagreeable very quickly.
I intended not to think about the belt if possible and not to let it disturb my daily routine. I started the day with my morning walk in the forest. That was a big mistake, because I chafed my skin in several places.
The rest of the weekend was agony because some spots got inflamed quickly. I spend the balance of the weekend was spent with as little body movement as possible. Monday I went to the bank safe as early as possible to get the key for my release as soon as I could.
After that first painful attempt I did not touch the belt for a month. Then, I tried time and again to get used to it. Now I know how to wear it a lot better. I had to learn though to adjust my movements to cause as little friction as possible and to avoid skin getting stuck. Athletic activities are largely out of the question when wearing the belt, which is a shame.
The locked belt fits very tightly to my body, at the waist and the crotch. In the crotch it is so tight it maker my labia protrude through the slit. When wearing the belt it is totally impossible to get myself to orgasm with my hands. No finger can be put under the shield far enough and touching the labia is not enough to orgasm. On the other hand the metal edges touching my labia are arousing, making me want even more what I cannot get. For a short while this is a crazy feeling.
To make touching the labia impossible, I have ordered a so called secondary shield, a curved piece of stainless steel that can be attached to the lower part of the shield and locked with the same lock as the rest. I have not used it often because it complicates hygiene.
About hygiene:
I got used to urinating through the slit in the shield very quickly. The only problem being that some urine gets between the shield and the skin. Because the shield fits so close I can not clean it all with toilet tissue. The remaining drops I catch with a sanitary dressing that I always put in my slip when I wear the belt. To clean up as well as possible I shower every morning, trying to let as much water as possible to run under the shield. This does not work out very well though, and after a couple of days a disagreeable smell is unavoidable.
I can now defecate without soiling anything. I have to sit very straight on the toilet to accomplish this. In the beginning I often leaned forward too much, the chains are in the way then and a shower is the only remaining remedy. During my period I have not, up to now, worn the belt because I feel filthy enough after wearing it for some time.
My biggest problem wearing the belt:
Is the tight and stiff waistband, I just cannot get used to it. The belt is ever present and after a few days I want nothing more than taking it off. My longest wearing period has up to now been two weeks.
The safe place for the key:
Up to now I have had control over the key myself. By keeping it in the remote bank the threshold to open the belt was very high. I intend, some day, to present the key to my husband. Something he will certainly like. Before that happens I want to make sure I can take on significantly longer periods in the belt. I am not sure I can realize this. The goal of a half year of enforced chastity does not seem within reach yet.

End November 1996
2. Chapter: loss of control over the key
With regard to my chastity adventure some things have changed thoroughly. I have worn the belt continuously for the last two months and have lost control over the key. I never thought I could make it, but one can seemingly get used to anything. Now I want to tell you how this came about.
I locked myself in the belt once again for a new attempt on the 4th October. Except for the fact that the waistband continuously got in my way (especially during housekeeping and when taking care of the kids), I mastered the first two week astonishingly well. Therefore I decided to hang on for a few more days, at least till after the weekend.
Then it happened. My husband came home one week early on a Saturday. I could not get the key before Monday. I was able to hide the belt for him until the evening, in bed he noticed it. His initial astonishment soon gave way for a total enthusiasm. So I told him of my original plan, a half year of chastity. He managed to persuade me to hand over the key to him, which was done the following Monday. We agreed that the chaste phase should last till May 1st 1997. As I know him he will remain very firm on this matter except if a real emergency would arise.
When I realized what I had gotten myself into, I lived through some terrible days. The belt was a continuous nuisance. And I only wanted to get rid of it. I thought of breaking it several times. I did not however, want to allow my husband this triumph and hung on.
When I started to accept in my fate, my period started. At first I had serious hygiene problems. I begged my husband to unlock me for at least one wash a day. He did not yield and told me I would have to cope with it when he would be away anyhow. Somehow I got through.
After my period ended, my husband unlocked me for a short while and cleaned me and the belt. He took great care that I did not touch myself while this took place. Then he put the belt back on and locked it.
After I survived this the wearing of the belt became less and less of a problem. Even the waistband hardly bothers me. At times I forget that I am wearing it. One week ago when my husband went away on a business trip, he locked the additional secondary shield onto the belt. He had noticed that I often petted my protruding labia in bed. He wanted to make this impossible for a certain period.
This hardly changes the mechanical wearing characteristics of the belt. During the first days, however, it felt very funny when I felt between my legs and touch only metal, no part of my body.
The biggest problem with it is that it is extremely hard to keep clean. Each visit to the toilet takes a lot of time. Then the worst happened: my period came one week earlier than usual last weekend. Had this happened at the regular time, my husband would have been at home and could have taken the secondary shield off. Now I had to manage.
This all nearly drove me into despair last weekend. Several times I contemplated ripping off the shield or even destroying the belt. Till now I have remained strong.

Beginning of January 1997
3. Chapter: everyday life with the chastity belt
I can hardly believe it myself - I am still wearing my chastity belt. When starting this, I could not imagine being able to bear this merciless tormentor for so long. The breakthrough occurred, mainly, because I lost control over the key.
Had I kept the key - however far away deposited - I would certainly have given up. This is not so easy now, because I would have to reveal my weakness to my husband. This I want to avoid at all cost. Only that keeps me from destroying the belt sometimes.
Overall, I cope with the belt very well now. The frequent problem of chafing under the waist belt hardly occurs now. Some nursing is required, however to accomplish that. I have to guard scrupulously against dampness under the belt. I have to take great care while toweling myself off after taking a shower. I have to put a generous amount of powder between belt and skin. If I break out in a heavy sweat I have to take care to get dry under the waistband very quickly.
I have mastered the normal hygiene to some extent now, at least when not wearing the secondary shield. One good shower a day is enough to keep the odor problem within tolerable limits. I can not claim however to feel really clean. I can live with it though, and other people do not seem to notice. I change slip every day, which I used to do anyway. Additionally I always wear a sanitary dressing in my slip to catch any remaining drops of urine after a visit to the toilet.
During my period it is more difficult. With some trouble I now manage to insert a thin dressing under the metal. To do that I have to lay on my back and extend my legs at a certain angle to create some room between the metal shield and my body. Additionally I wear a thicker dressing in my slip.
I have only worn the secondary shield once (except for my initial short tests), and this was enough for me. A normal visit to the toilet is a real mess and the time when I have my period is totally unacceptable with it. My husband was very sorry I was wearing it when my period started. He was not around as my period was early. When he came home I was allowed a long bath - under his supervision of course. I was also allowed to clean the belt thoroughly. I was also allowed to bathe without the belt at Christmas. Of course I was not allowed or given possibility to masturbate. He says he will allow such baths occasionally after my period, this makes the whole thing a lot more bearable.
About the use of the secondary shield:
The utility of this piece is relatively small. It does deny access to my labia but that would not suffice to reach orgasm anyhow. It definitely makes satisfaction with a vibrator harder. With a small top an orgasm might be reached without the secondary shield. With very strong vibrations it would probably be possible with the shield too if the whole belt could be brought in vibration. I have thought about such things sometimes but have never tried. Since then I don not keep a vibrator in the house to avoid temptation.
No orgasm for months:
Since I wear the belt continuously I have not had an orgasm. At first I missed this very much because I liked to please myself so much. I have gotten over that. My desire to masturbate has, through the very presence of the chastity belt, disappeared almost completely. I imagine I could reach orgasm without using a vibrator. This could be done by lying on my back as when inserting a sanitary dressing. I can then even reach my clit with my finger. Fast orgasm would not be possible because the possibilities to touch are insufficient. This position is really not very comfortable. A few attempts in this direction have luckily failed. A secondary shield by the way would not remedy this.
Clothing worn over the chastity belt:
I largely wear the same clothes as before. Mostly jeans and a loose blouse, and during the winter I also wear a pullover. Because I do not like to wear tight jeans, there is no problem. Somebody who does not know I am wearing a chastity belt will not notice it. It took a while before I was really sure that nobody noticed, not even my kids. Only when bending over, somebody could see the chains running over my buttocks. But in critical cases one does not need to bend over, do we?
Freedom of movement:
The belt limits my freedom of movement only very little. Only in the stomach area I am a bit stiffer. In the beginning that bothered me, but now I compensate for this somewhat by moving differently. I am hardly conscious of it. A tight corset limits the freedom of movement much more. I just have to take care not to make sudden movements or get in situations where a lot of friction will be created. At first, I had to pay a lot of attention to this, but now it is automatic.
It still is a hard time:
Everything I have said must sound very positive now, but it is not as easy as it sounds. Wearing a chastity belt for a lengthy period is certainly not easy. It is not so much a result of the everyday problems as described above e.g. the hygiene. It is more the continuous realization that I carry my own prison with me and not being able to remove it, this is more of a psychological problem. Sometimes it is also the desperate wish to take a real deep breath, which the waistband makes impossible. It is a continuous change between the euphoria of having made it thus far and the despair when the belt causes pressure or bothers me otherwise.
Meanwhile I have grown real confident that I will hang on till May. It is a bit longer than I had planned for but we have picked a day that has special meaning to my husband and me.

Later addition:
Chapter 4 : The last months
05 February 97
Not much to report for now, I am still wearing my chastity belt and have gotten used to every day life in it. Nevertheless I rejoice at every day completed that shortens the rest of my wearing period.
I expect my next period soon now: passing this time of the month in the belt remains an anything but a nice situation. After that - something else unpleasant is coming up. My husband wants to put the secondary shield on my belt for at least 2 weeks. Just to bring some change in my daily routine, this time - without the risk of me having to spend my period with it on. I protested but didn't want to refuse categorically in the end. Let's see how it develops this time.
18 March 97
Coping with my CB has become normal for me. Often I hardly notice it for hours at a stretch. Even the waistband bothers me only a little. It still remains the most unpleasant feature of the device. The heightened hygienic effort has become routine, at least when I am not having my period or wearing the secondary shield. Getting used to this merciless steel bond to this degree initially seemed unimaginable. But then it has taken months to get that far.
I had to bear the secondary shield for well over two weeks, but that is over for now. It was much less unpleasant than I remembered. But then, I didn't wear it during my period this time. What made it unpleasant to wear the secondary shield was urine collected in the lowest part of the belt and could not be dried from all places. This leads to an unpleasant odor after only a few hours. To avoid this problem I usually sat down in the shower twice a day to clean myself. The smell problem was sufficiently resolved in this way. This cleaning procedure, however, added to the already higher hygienic toil. I can't pretend to like this accessory very much. I will probably have to wear it after my next period though. To really get used to it, my husband said, and I accept this, once again.
I often think about how it would be if I had to wear a chastity belt for a much longer period, or even forever. Initially I thought I couldn't stand that in the long run. But now I now I think I could. I could probably live with total denial of sexual activity. At first, I longed for sex, but then there were the physical barriers and the tight waistband to quickly chase away those thoughts. Now that I can bear the belt well, I surprisingly hardly think about sex. I currently don't plan on wearing the belt any longer than agreed. My husband would certainly not force me to do so if I do not want to.
5 April 97
For the last couple of days I am again wearing this inconvenient secondary shield, and it is not expected to be taken off until after I have my next period. I already feel bad thinking about this now. It's supposed to be kind of a glorious finish. I still imagine, sometimes, how it would be to be locked up for ever, but I don't really want to be. I want to really enjoy sex again, and see how it is after such a long period of chastity. My almost addictive longing for sexual activity, which sometimes leads to masturbating several times a day, has now been completely suppressed by the belt. And thus I think of sex relatively seldom. I expected that the longing for sex would increase during the chastity, but things developed exactly the other way round.
28 April 97
Now, it is only a few weeks until my liberation. The last weeks have really passed well. The approaching finish has probably contributed to that. I now know that one can live, for a very long time, with a CB. I don't plan to wear it much longer though.
I have just had my period with the secondary shield attached. There have been no serious problems this time. Several baths a day maintained my personal hygiene at a sufficient level. I can, also, insert a thin sanitary dressing under my crotch-strap reasonably quickly. It is amazing how one can get used to such dramatically changed circumstances.
5 May 97
I am still wearing my CB. More accurately I am wearing it again. With as before, the secondary shield installed. It is uncertain just how long this additional period of confinement in the belt will be. I will tell you how this situation came to pass:
The end of my wearing period was set to May 1st. We had sent our kids to their grandparents, to avoid any disturbances. I had suspected that my husband would relieve me of my obnoxious tormentor in the morning. He seemed, however, to want to keep me in doubt for a while. We made a very nice day trip and visited a very good restaurant. By the time we got home it was past ten.
The great moment of my liberation had to come now. I was told to strip completely, except of course for the CB for which I didn't have the key. My husband opened a bottle of champagne and we drank the first glass. I had to promise not to touch the lower part of my body during the rest of the night. Only my husband would take care of my lust during this evening.
After my husband removed the belt, we showered together. My husband took care of the cleaning of the lower part of my body which I wasn't allowed to touch. I was so very, very horny, I could hardly take this, but my husband was so careful that it took a long while before I could enjoy my first orgasm anyhow. We enjoyed quite some incredibly hot and beautiful hours. The long abstinence really paid off for me.
Finally my husband was so tired he couldn't keep himself awake. I was still very aroused, notwithstanding several orgasms. So it came to be that I started playing around with myself. Somehow I must have made too much noise. Too late, I noticed my husband was watching me. Then things went very fast. I was quickly back in my CB with my hands tied behind my back. For the short remainder of the night I had to lie on my stomach to be somewhat comfortable.
The next morning my husband removed the bonds from my hands, but the belt remained on. He wouldn't say anything about a new term for the end of my new wearing period. Now he’s gone for a week on a business trip and he has made me believe that I will be wearing the belt for a very long time, since I have apparently not learned to control myself.
Somehow I thought this would be different. I hadn't imagined having to wear the belt any longer, and had focused myself entirely on the end-date. Now I can't stand to continue bearing this tormentor on my body. Often I think of breaking it, just to put an end to this.
13 May 97
Since Monday morning the CB is no longer on my body. With no prior notice or ceremony my husband unexpectedly removed the belt.
Now, even when fully dressed, I feel naked. I seem to have become accustomed to the continuous pressure of the belt. However, I enjoy my new freedom, and feel, somehow, a new woman. Up until now I haven't masturbated yet, and I consciously intend not to do so in the future. I now know I can be abstinent for a long time, and how good it can be after such a long period. I want to be able to abstain from any supporting device in the future. It won't be easy though. So, I have made 2 arrangements with my husband to assist me in my resolve.
First, a deterring measure: if my husband catches me masturbating I will have to wear the CB for the following 2 months without any time out. With the unpleasant secondary shield attached. If I become compulsive again I will be caught because I will end up masturbating several times a day.
As a further precaution, my husband has kept the keys to my CB, which means I can not take it off if I lock it on myself. If I think that I am going to loose control, I can irrevocably avoid the worst, by putting on the belt myself. From the moment I tell my husband I have locked the belt on myself I will have to wait 2 weeks till my release, which should avoid overuse of this emergency brake. Even when I can not avoid the first orgasm I can thus avoid becoming compulsive again.
Looking back, I can say the chastity adventure has been a very interesting phase of my life. I am even proud to have made it through, because it hasn't exactly been easy after all.

Annie

As many people asked me whether Annie’s story continued, here is what she mailed me on the 20.1.1998

Hello Jan,

Thanks for your inquiry. I have to disappoint you a bit in this matter, because nothing much has happened in this matter since my extreme adventure.
At least I haven't completely forgotten my chastity belt. Although I didn't touch it for a fairly long period after my extreme adventure, I still felt something was missing. That's why I have been wearing it a few times since then for periods of one to three weeks. Making love for the first time after putting it off is always a strong experience; only that is worth the forced abstinence. My last chastity period of three weeks ended exactly at Christmas eve. The hours after the unlocking were my favorite Christmas gift.
Each time the start was quite tough, but on the other hand that is part of the charm. I quickly adapted to the changed way of moving and the harder body hygiene, and I didn't have any problems with wounds either, as had happened more than once in the beginning.
Surely I will wear my chastity belt now and then in the future, but until now I'm not looking for a second extreme adventure. Lately I often reflected about how it would be to be locked by ways of a piercing for a longer period. But until now I didn't have the courage to get a piercing. Furthermore I haven't found anything in that direction suitable for secure prevention of masturbation.

Thanks for the info Echoes!

[Warbaby1943]

Very interesting. Can't help but wonder how an emergency trip to the hospital could be explained if it happened when husband was nowhere around with the key.

[Nipz]

Thanks Echoes.

Very interesting. Can't help but wonder how an emergency trip to the hospital could be explained if it happened when husband was nowhere around with the key.

If that did happen, that would probably be the least of there problems.

[Warbaby1943]

Thanks Echoes.


If that did happen, that would probably be the least of there problems.

Maybe, maybe not depending on how easily one is embarrassed and how serious the trip to the hospital is.

[bip0lar]

very very interesting information, thank you. i often wondered about it myself, although i seriously doubt i would be able to hold on for that long--even if i had lost control of the key.

[Echoes]

with these two I have found no recounts of how they feel to be worn, short term or long term.

Leather Chastity Belt

This would be recommended for short term use and is very affordable to buy.
Leather can be easily cut for escape and is not found to be hygienic for long term use, the dampness causing chafing of the skin and sores along with leather holding bodily scents or smells and difficult to clean.



Plastic Chastity Belt

Again affordable to buy (at around 100$) easy to cut for escape, better for long term with two plastic bands in the back, good for hygiene and easy to clean.

[Echoes]

Your welcome everyone! I wish it contained more information such as the first one. As with most in life, everything takes a little or a lot of work and perserverance...but the feeling, the thoughts to hand over this part of control also...mmmm

Chastity via piercings

Well now, I fell across full instructions from the start of ones first piercing, care and monitoring of this to the insertion of padlocks.

Again no account of how this would and does actually feel but it does say that chastity this way is not as effective (by anal or clitoris) but it effective by vaginal.

Here with great and solid advise, full account of care is a write up from start to finish on piercings for chastity

Pierced Chastity
True Infibulations is accomplished by:
(1) Piercing the subject's labia as ears are pierced for earrings on either side of the center of the introituses, the entrance to her vagina. Whether the piercing are located in the labia majora or the labia minora, depends upon how her external genitals are formed. The piercing must be initially large enough comfortable to accommodate the diameter of the stock of the fibule to be employed, which means that the fibule must be selected in advance.
(The term, Fibule, takes in either a ring, which can be opened and closed, or an appropriate padlock. Professional piercers speak of stock diameter in terms of gauge, which is not necessarily the same as gauge in terms of thickness of sheet-metal. For a fibule, because of where it is placed in the subject's body, weight is also important: As a rule-of-thumb, the lighter the better so long as security is not compromised.)
Consideration of sterility and sanitation dictate that the optimal time to pierce for this purpose, is immediately after a menstrual period has ceased, or while she is pregnant. These same considerations dictate that, if she is sexually active, her partner in intercourse must invariably wear a condom during intercourse for the duration of the healing time. Further, it is a good idea for the subject to bathe as frequently as possible while the training rings are in place. Finally, it is a good idea for the lower undergarment that the subject wears to be loose during this time.
(2) Training rings, of the same gauge as both the initial piercing and of the fibule subsequently to be employed, are placed in the piercing; these may be of any metal suitable for piercing jewelry, or of a physiologically inert plastic. These serve exactly the same purpose as do studs in ear piercing, namely promoting the healing of the piercing open.
These must stay in place in the piercing, subject to requirements of the sterilization/sanitation protocols, until healing is complete. For piercing
These must stay in place in the piercing, subject to requirements of the sterilization/sanitation protocols, until healing is complete. For piercing in the labia majora, this is ten weeks +/- two weeks. For piercing in the labia minora, the nymphae, this is eight weeks +/- two weeks. As a rule of thumb, the longer the training rings stay in place, the better; for they toughen the healed piercing.
Since the piercings are quite close to the posterior commissure of the labia majora, when the training rings and/or fibule are in place they may cause some discomfort if the subject sits down rapidly on a hard surface. The training rings shall cause pronounced discomfort if the subject sits astride a bicycle, or motorcycle seat or a horse. These discomforts can be entirely avoided: In the first instance, by awareness and a slight change in her behavior, and in the second by desisting from activity wherein she must sit with her body's weight upon her perineum and external genitals.
(3) Either one end of a single open ring is passed through each piercing in both labia and the ring is then closed, or the shackle of a single padlock is passed through each piercing in both labia and the lock is then locked. Once a fibule of either kind is in place and secured, then while the fibule is in place - and only while the fibule is in place - it is physically impossible for her to take part in an act of sexual intercourse: Entry to her vagina is doubly barred, first by the two opposite labia held together by the fibule over the entrance thereto, and behind that, the metal of the fibule that is between her labia, lies athwart the entrance to her vagina like the bar of the Greek Letter Theta. However, once the fibule is removed, she is once again entirely able to take part in coitus.
When the fibule actually is properly situated to prevent copulation - rather than further in front for mere pretense or empty adornment - it does not prevent the subject from clitoral masturbation. True Infibulation does temporarily prevent stimulation of Grafenberg's Area since it denies access to the vagina while the fibule is in place. Obviously, true Infibulation does not prevent the subject from acting, Nolens Volens, as a receptacle for sodomy, whether oral (fellatio) or anal (buggery): Measures outside the scope hereof are necessary to address that problem. Preventing the wearer from copulating while the device is in place - only that and only while it is in place - is all that can reasonably be asked of any chastity device. This true Infibulation does elegantly, and with minimal collateral effect - though not wholly without collateral effect.
One such collateral effect is to magnify the problem presented by the training rings, in the matters of the subject sitting down rapidly upon a hard surface and/or sitting on a bicycle or motorcycle or a horse astride. The problem of discomfort caused by sitting rapidly on a hard surface as well as any discomfort that might arise from weight of a padlock, can be at least partially alleviated by the subject wearing tight and heavy innermost lower undergarments, that support and confine the weight of a padlock to keep it from swinging or pulling. (Yes, a padlock used for Infibulation should be light, the lighter the better, so long as security is not compromised. But its shackle passes through piercing in, and its weight - however light - bears upon some of the most sensitive parts of the female anatomy.) However, Infibulation means that the subject cannot ride a bicycle or motorcycle or horse astride, while the fibule is in place, full stop.
Infibulation imposes an inner limit upon how widely the subject can spread her legs - literally, rather than as a vernacular vulgarism for admitting a male to intercourse. This limit is greater when the fibule is sited in the labia majora, than it is when the fibule is sited in the labia minora. This rules out the like of ballet, or sport cheerleader full splits, and the calisthenics thick subtend ability to do these easily. However, this also means that Infibulation better protects a virgin's hymen, by preventing a virgin subject from indulging in such exertions or exercises that would tear it without any involvement in sexual activity. (This is the actual purpose of the thigh bands which are offered as an optional accessory to Chastity Belts of the type of the Tollyboy F/B-100.)
Infibulation also reciprocally impinges upon the monthly problem of menstrual sanitation: If tampons are to be used for menstrual sanitation, this inflexibility dictates that the fibule be a padlock. The key holder must release the padlock to allow tampons to be inserted and removed/replaced. On the other hand, a solid fixed ring equally inflexibly dictates the use of external napkins, for what bars entry to a penis or dildo, also bars entry to a tampon.
Infibulation is much easier to conceal, than is a chastity belt, hence it imposes less constraint upon the subject's choice of clothing, at least, and can allow a much wider opportunity even for full nudity: A thong swimsuit-bottom fully conceals either a ring or a padlock, as does even a club dancers G-string or a cache-sexe. (A cache-sexe is a triangle of cloth with strings at each corner, very much like a club dancer's G-String, but worn by both sexes in places like L'Ile du Levant, where "Le nu integral est formellement interdit.") Where the fibule is a ring, and the ring is relatively small, a full growth of the subject's pubic hair will conceal it in full frontal nudity. If piercing to accommodate a padlock in the labia majora are correctly sited, the body of the padlock would not be fully visible - the upper third or upper half of it will be behind the catenary curve of her labia majora in front and similarly concealed by the catenary curve of her buttocks - in full frontal nudity even if her external genitals were shaven, and a growth of public hair will conceal still more of it, though not entirely. Indeed, the fact that a girl or woman is infibulated, can be displayed unambiguously only if she spreads her legs laterally as far as she can do so; or if she stands legs akimbo with her back to the viewer, and bends forward from the buttocks. Otherwise, where concealment is wanted, the very ambiguity of it - is it mere ornament? - compounded by the rarity of Infibulation, and the subject's own disinclination to discuss, suffice in conditions of nudity, and even the scantiest cover for the pubic region suffices for full concealment.
Female external genitals come in all configurations, and configuration dictates, though not necessarily inflexibly, placement of the fibule and piercing go accommodate it: If the subject's labia majora are plump and they press together for most of the length of her cleft, they are the site of obvious choice for the piercing and the fibule. On the other hand, if her labia minora are protrusive at the entry to her vagina, then they are equally obvious as the site of choice for the piercing and the fibule. If the subject's labia minora are scanty over the introitus but her nymphae are even more so at the same place, the labia majora are the site of choice for the piercing and subsequent fibule.
As a general (more than half, but not across the board uniformity) rule of thumb, the labia majora are the preferred site for the prerequisite piercing and the subsequent fibule when they offer adequate flesh at the necessary point, I.E. at the center of the introitus. A corollary rule of thumb is that the closer the fibule can be placed to the subject's vagina - I.E. The wider the margin of labium - the better.
For placement of the fibule, the easiest way is for the subject to stand with her legs akimbo, her back turned to her partner, and to bend forward at the buttocks. Her partner, having first lubricated the fibule with a water-base lubricant, gently passes its tip through the piercing, first in one labium then the other, and closes it. Another way is for the subject to lie on her stomach while the fibule is placed by her partner. Removal of the fibule must always be done slowly and gently. Where the fibule is a fixed ring, which must be cut to open it, it is necessary to file the cut end smooth before sliding it through her flesh to withdraw it: Failure to do so will cause the subject severe discomfort.
How Infibulation was invented or discovered, no one knows. As was said, supra, it is known to be older and more widely-spread than the Roman Empire at its height. Obviously, it has had to wait for lock technology to catch up, to make it fully a practical proposition, for it is to be inferred that usually it was an affair of a fixed ring, hence a long-term proposition. Though this need no longer be the case, certain considerations govern the selection of a padlock for this purpose.
Obviously the lock must be small. Equally obvious, its shackle must be of a physiological inert metal, such as surgical stainless steel. On the other hand, metals such as nickel, and chromium are contraindicated for such use because they are allergenic to so many people.
In times past and in other places, because it was necessarily an affair of a fixed ring and hence a long-term proposition, it was used for such purposes as preserving premarital virginity of unmarried daughters or preventing a wife from taking part in intercourse during her husband's prolonged absence (on caravan, at war, at sea, etc.) Now that lock technology is adequate to infibulation's requirements (even if suitable locks are still arcana), though Infibulation can still be used for the purposes aforementioned, now so is it practical for daily use by a normally sexually active couple, whether that use is in context of a game or in a 24/7 life style D-S.

Now I think this one would be the hardest to explain if you had a car accident or had an emergency visit to the hospital........but as my step mom told me, she used to work in the emergency room....you see it all there.

As Granny'd always say: "Make sure you are wearing a clean chastity belt, in case you get hit by a bus," huh?

[Sir_Russell]

I am very non plussed by all of this. If I trust my slave so little why would I want her. I can see belts that hold butt plugs and vibrators in place and even had a padlock on them for short term use.

The knights of old found that they didn't work well for keeping their ladies faithful so why do it in the first place. So many other ways to have her prove her submissiveness.

[cadence]

I have actually been curious about chastity belts, I would like to be able to use one, for a few days only. I am somewhat of an orgasm hog.
Call me crazy, but I absolutely love the chastity with piercings, and if I did have the chance I would do it.

Thanks for the info Echoes

[Silus]

I agree Russell but I think its more of the illusion over the reality.

[sugarnspice]

I think it could be very exciting to wear one for a little while. For me I think it wouldn't so much be the not being able to orgasm but the humiliation I think i would feel from wearing one.

[Tojo]

I think you're missing the point Russell- a chastity belt is not so much a foolproof way of stopping your loved one having pleasure- that would be illegal & nothing short of abuse.

Most people I know who are interested, see them as a pleasant reminder of their submission- or just a hot item of fetish wear.

One thing I have heard, is that some of the leather ones can be very uncomfortable & bulky. I believe you can get them made to measure if you have the money.

Well, said, Russell, as regards the enforcement of chastity. As regards the choice of chastity, or the obedience of chastity, however... well, there is perhaps more to say (although you hint at it, honestly).

I can see both sides. Why would I want a dog that would not remain at heel when commanded to do so? On the other hand, am I willing to leash the dog to train it to come to heel and remain?

It occurs to me that the question is more interesting as it regards the mind of the sub, as opposed to the equipment itself.

[ohmytalia]

A close girlfriend of mine wears chastity piercings... and loves them. Its not a matter of proving anything to anyone, just a hot item of body modification T/they enjoy.

[Silus]

I read that long post about the woman who bought and used the belt. I gotta tell ya, no way in hell would I ask my wife to lock up the goodies while I am at home. I think her husband was getting some on the side.

[Sir_Russell]

I really didn't expect to put another response here but since it seems I have told that I missed the point I will.

The only reason I can think of for the use of this belt, which I also feel is a risky business for the lady, is that the lady is thrilled at some level by it. I find I can thrill her more in other ways when I am not near and I damn sure I can find ways to thrill us both more when we are together.

i agree with my Master-- if the lady is thrilled by it and/or it's used as fetish wear, than so be it-- personally, it doesn't appeal that much to me to want to use and i would much rather have the other thrills *grin* my Master is referring to. However, belts used to hold in plugs and vibrators, hmmm...very appealing!
