24/7 chastity doesn’t actually mean 24/7, figure out what it means to you. will you unlock to go to the bathroom? if not, how do you keep clean? will you wear it to sleep? to work? have you factored in a break to give your skin a rest? will you shower in it?
start slow, get used to wearing the belt for longer periods of time (hours, then more, then overnight). i pushed too hard and wore it for a 3 hour car drive and i was in PAIN.
have it loose at first (more of a symbol than preventative) so you can get used to the sensation.
mentally being used to it is as important as physically - it’s a big step to wear out of the house / at work / with other people around.
for longer periods of time - i wear shorts under it (which I can get on and off with difficulty without taking it off 😅) i’d recommend doing this when you first start wearing it to sleep etc.
keep adjusting the rules for what works for your dynamic - it should be fun for everyone involved all the time. don’t focus on what anyone else does. it’s YOUR dynamic and YOUR rules. be realistic. don’t compare yourself to porn.
plugs + a belt is an entirely different sensation than just plugs. remember your body needs rest. if you push too hard then it will feel like a chore, not fun. if using plugs, start small and remember to keep lubricating.
remember hygiene - the belt will need cleaning. i give mine a bath in bleach every night when i have a break before bed.
vaseline is great for the apex of the thighs where the metal rubs and around the anal hole. sudocrem is also great for if it rubs too much and feels sore.
make sure the wearer has a key on their person at all times. no matter what. you never know when you’ll need to take it off. it’s not a failure to need a break. assess why and what you can change and try again
finally and most importantly- real life comes first!!! you’re not letting anyone down if you don’t wear a belt for a few days. never ever let anyone be your key holder if they don’t understand that fundamental rule.
