Introductions discussion

Hello everyone, I’ve been lurking here for a while and just decided to register. My wife and I have dabbled in chastity intermittently over the past six months, with her taking charge most of the time. Our main challenge has been budget—we picked up an inexpensive ($120) CB 3000 from eBay, but it broke down quickly; my rings kept snapping and so on (I actually discovered this forum while searching online for solutions to our issues). I’ve concluded that mine was likely a Chinese replica. Since then we’ve experimented with both blackmail and the honesty system because we can’t really afford more expensive devices right now. Spending over $100 feels like too much of an investment in a sex toy if it doesn’t work well. The honesty approach hasn’t been perfect either; it usually holds up for about four days before slipping. We definitely need a proper chastity device but are struggling to find one here in Australia that costs less than $50. What do you all think about budget-friendly male chastity devices?
