A Collar

I wore the Fort last week until Saturday night then had it back on again on Sunday. That's my normal schedule in a chastity device so I can probably keep it up indefinitely.

I bought myself a collar. I'm just wearing it as a bit of private jewelry for now. It doesn't mean anything since I put it on myself. I just like wearing pieces of steel that are difficult to get off.

I got the collar from Eternity Collars. It's very nice. I went for their Phantom line which is a dark gray. I liked this better than the standard shiny steel.

It is very well made. The hinge is hard to see, even if you are looking for it. The closure is a tongue and groove with a recessed hex bolt. The end of the bolt is visible since it has not been treated. I colored it with a Sharpie. I will see how long that holds up.

The collar is a couple of inches bigger than my neck. It might have been more comfortable if it was an inch smaller but I wanted to be able to hide it under my shirt and this size works well for that. I've been wearing it since Sunday and I don't think anyone noticed it. Even under a dress shirt it is hard to spot.

It isn't exactly comfortable but it isn't painful.

Since I started wearing the collar I've been forgetting about the Fort. Funny how adding a new piece of steel to your body makes you forget the old one.

I ordered some cuffs but I am getting them from a different company. I want oval cuffs and Eternity Collars only makes them round. I also want a ring that can be used to lock them together. I went with Ring of Steel for these. From their web site their products don't hide the hinges as well but they have oval cuffs. They also offer security hex bolts which require a special wrench. I like the idea of that.

I ordered the cuff last night and they have already been shipped. I'll say more when I get them.

Progress

I realized after I locked it on that I had used the largest and middle rings instead of largest and second largest. I wore this for four days, took a day's break then locked it on again with the largest and second largest (for sure this time). I felt a raw spot and took it off after a day to heal. I put it back on for three days then off for Saturday night through showering on Sunday.

I've been wearing it since Sunday - two days - with no apparent problems. I think that the raw spot was a combination of a fold in the skin and the hinge on the ring. With the larger ring there is no fold in the skin. The hinge gets a little sore now and then but it seems to recover as soon as I adjust it.

To repeat a few things that I have said before - erections are much more comfortable in the Fort than in the CBxxxx series. I think it is because it holds me in place better plus the length of everything including the two rings is nearly as long as an erection.

No way out except for cutting the padlock. This is the weakest point. Any other part would be difficult to cut. I may experiment with alternative locks when it is warmer and I can use my shop.
