So what now?

Well, the issues found with the neosteel have been almost 2 years in the making and finding off.  Firstly the rear cable was too long, with the prospect of sending back to germany for a 6 week wait while it was adjusted I simply cut and re-attached it myself. Then there were the problems with the tube, keeping things clean down there, so I drilled a couple of extra holes, not ideal and not a complete solution, but it allowed up to 7 days wear.  Then finally there was the problem with the waist band pushing on my sciatic nerve and causing pain because the waist band curves down at the back.  How to get past this?

To cut it short -

1. Cable (partially rectified – too long to go in to)
2. Tube – Too hard to keep clean
3. Waist band hurts

So what now?

A couple of months ago I took a trip up to Tollyboy to meet with Richard and view his belts, if you look back over my posts we did consider Tollyboy, but discounted it for a few reasons, the main one being the tube, as many others have thought it does not fully enclose your penis so could be “easy” to pull out of.

At least thats what I and so many others on the web have thought…..

So how does it differ in real life? Quite a good design actually, firstly the front shield is 1mm stainless steel (well he orders 1mm but in the UK it actually ends up being 0.9mm because us Brits apparantly cannot make 1mm…. but thats for another conversation) and because of this there is some flex in the shield as you move, and instead of you spending time bending the belt to you, it forms to your shape as you wear it.  Remember this for a bit further!

The penis tube has wings top and bottom and is essentially a tube, a very nice shiney tube at that, and unlike so make other manufacturers who make their tubes out of a Sheet of stainless and bend, weld and then dip in plastic coat, Richard takes a solid block of Stainless Steel, bores out the middle then mills it down to shape, so you end up with one complete tube, no welds, no seams, no plastic coat that can break down over time, crack and potentially cut you (been there also!) and its just smooth steel.

Now, remember those wings… and of course the front shield, combined together against your body, with the penis in the tube, also keeping in mind the tube is made to the exact diameter of your flacid member, once in, its a complete bugger to get out without the shield, so trying to get your hands in to grab it, and pull, but pull to where? There is a wing above… so your only option is to the side, but where? You seen the width of the shield…. good luck!

By reports you cannot pull out, and if you can, the tube is the wrong size, and Richard will exchange.

So further comparing my experience with Richard, and having a good chinwag, we talked about the issues, lets start in order -

Cable – Adjustment, if I do it, not perfect.  If manufacturer does it, 6 weeks plus postage and cost….

• Tollyboy Cable – Screws in! User changable, simply ask Richard for a longer or shorter cable and he will stick it in the post, you change it by unscrewing! Oh and security nuts – You cannot unscrew when belt is on!

Tube – Fully enclosed in Neo, not easy to clean, remember posts of Cannot see, touch or what ever – also includes cleaning properly!

• Tollyboy Tube – Open ended, yes there are those wings as above, but you can get a cotton bud/Q-Tip/Sponge/Wash cloth in to clean, and by all accounts Tollyboy has had customers in their belts for periods of 6 months plus! (worrying)

Waistband – On current belt it dips at front and back, and hurts after a while, only option with current belt manufacturer is a straight waist band, but that causes problems with posture

• Tollyboy – Drop fronted waist band, but straight at back and above the hips, so no digging in on top of butt cheeks or poking in to hips in sleep.

Other nice details – the rear cable joins the waist band by a pivot joint, allowing flat pack of the belt, movement with you and I suspect easier pulling aside for bodily functions.

After seeing the workmanship and attention to detail in the flesh, I have no doubts as to why Tollyboy earned the title of “the Rolls Royce of Chastity belts”.  I cannot get over the quality of the belts and the simple little ideas that make you stand back and realise someone has put a great deal of thought and effort in to this.

When speaking with Richard I asked why his site had not changed over the years very much or why his prices are so cheap compared to others when the quality certainly beats alot out there, his response was simple “Its what I do, its what we charge, materials have not increased much, and the designs evolve, why bring something new when its not needed? If people want to pay more, they can!”

Richard is working on a new male shield based on the current female shield and will offer it if customers ask, but like most other things he is also willing to make custom designs.

I came away from Tollyboy quite surprised, and also quite disappointed, why? Well if only my first choice 2 years ago was Tollyboy!

So….. like I said above… what now?
