Chastity device reviews discussion

I have had a long-standing interest in bondage and chastity, but only recently am I getting ready to buy my first stainless steel set: wrist cuff, ankle cuff, collar, thigh band, and the main belt. It is quite an investment for someone on a budget like me, so I would appreciate your thoughts.

1. Which brand should I choose? My-Steel or Neosteel (both German)? At first glance, my impression favors My-Steel after visiting both sites. Yet, some online research shows there are negative reviews about My-Steel too, though in my view they aren’t that severe. Neosteel’s website isn’t as fancy-looking compared to My-Steel’s grandeur, but their prices seem quite comparable. I wonder if this means Neosteel puts more of its budget into the product itself rather than marketing, giving us better value for our money. The main issue with Neosteel is that they don’t appear to sell a matching thigh band cuff, so since consistency in design across the full set matters to me, I will likely buy everything from just one provider.

2. The black strip lining on both their bondage devices and chastity belts looks great. However, some online comments mention that the silicon profile/lining can get damaged or wear off easily. This concerns me. Is it really that bad? Does the silicon adhere well to the stainless steel? What steps should I take to ensure my belt lasts a long time?

3. I prefer She-male style male chastity belts, but will they work for extended use? I might plan on wearing one continuously for days or weeks, even up to years. Is peeing manageable with them? Which type of She-male belt would you suggest?

4. Hip style vs waist style? Personally, I find the waist style sexier and more restrictive-looking; what do others think? Are there any men here who use a waist-style chastity belt? Thanks for your ideas and comments.
