Hello all, Hope everyone is having a wonderful new year! I have been trying to contact carrara chastity belts for the past couple weeks but have not gotten a response back. My Mistress is interested to find out pricing for these belts and to look into ordering one. Has anyone else had issues contacting them? Thanks! |

Hi Trev, welcome back! How have you been attempting to contact Carrara? Have you been using the phone and email on their intro page? http://users.pandora.be/carrara/carrara/carrara/Introduction.htm They might just have been on holiday too... |

Hi Alphax, Thanks for the welcome I contacted them through an email form on their site. Then I followed up by emailing them directly at the email address listed on their page. I haven't tried to contact them by phone because from what I read on their site, they only speak dutch and french on the phone. |

It has been the Christmas break. Perhaps try again in a few days? Maybe after the start of next week? |

It might be worth trying their fax number. I have corresponded with them in english in the past without problems. The website seems to be in a state of revision, some links work from one page but not others. It has a message that scrolls too fast (in my browser) but is something about email difficulties. Good luck. |

Only issue with fax is that i only have access to one at work. Don't think I'd be wanting replies back there ;) Has anyone ever had luck speaking with them on the phone in english? Thanks all! |

I've just used email from my yahoo account to correspond with them in the past in English. *shrug* BTW, this is what the scrolling message says: IMPORTANT!! Due to some unknown reason and silence from AOL, I can not send any mail to any AOL-account from my place. Please, up till reply from AOL use a temporarely mail address from Hotmail, Yahoo or whatever supplier where I am able to reach you Sorry for the inconvenience but ask AOL for a reason! |

Walter speaks excellent english, german, french and flemish. His wife Gabonese, french and is learning english. By far the best bet is to ring him in non working hours. His Emails have always been very iffy. |

I find it odd so many chastity belt companies are so lousy with e-mail. They can build and mold a chastity belt... but not figure out e-mail. |

Mike, it may not always be them. Some e-mail providers (like AOL) simply take it on themselves to filter e-mail and simply stop e-mails from some domains. I am generally an aol user and have had e-mail go missing in many cases. In lots of the cases there was no bounce, the mail just disappeared. AOL is not the only one. E-mail is simply not a reliable communication medium. Snail mail is much better, registered if you want to be sure, and a phone call if you don't mind playing tag with the voice mail systems. |

I was not talking about the business using AOL. I was pointing out that there potential customer's e-mail providers, just like aol, may decide not to allow e-mail to some domains such as Carrara's to go through because they have deemed them to be spammers or inappropriate or something else. E-mail is just not a reliable communication medium for business purposes. What is wrong with making a phone call? I will try e-mail but if I don't get a prompt response, I pick up the phone and start dialing. So far that has always worked even though e-mail did not get a response. The other problem is sheer volume. My company e-mail address gets lots of spam. If I am away for a week or so, my mail box will have 100 or more e-mails, most of which are spam. In deleting them it would be easy to delete a real e-mail accidently. These chastity belt sites probably get a ton of spam and over a holiday period of a couple of weeks could even be completely overwhelmed. |

Also had a lot of trouble contacting Carrara, over the last 3 months, sent from various e-mail addresses. Also know this guy on a rubber site I use who sent them money over a year ago and still hasn't received his belt and they won't answer his mail. He told me when he rang them they suddenly developed a problem with English. It's annoying, because I REALLY want to order a belt from them but don't want to lose my money! |

carrara can be difficult to contact but does provide an exellent product and on going back up service. the best way to contact walter is by phone and make an appointment to visit his work shop and get the belt made to measure and take it home with you. |

Hi Gasmaskpipe.yes I wear a carrara belt and considering the security it provides (escape proof) it is reasonably comfortable to wear for weeks at times, and let me tell you when the carrara belt is correctly sized and fitted the only way out of it other than destroying the belt is the key and I dont have the key. Walter is very professional when it comes to making and fitting the belt,preferably he would like you to stay in his city for two or three days so he can fit the belt the day you arrive and give you a day to check comfort and adjust the belt if nessesary. If you want any more info just ask. |

Well I was going to go to pick up the belt and make use of his free fitting service, but alas now cannot do that, so have asked him to ship the belt directly to me. Do you think that's a bad idea? Do you think I will struggle to get it to fit right without his help? BTW are you in UK Steph? |

Well Gasmaskpipe I think you get much better fit when the designer is fitting the belt to you in person, this isnt to say you will not get a good fit with your own measurements but when spending such a large amount of money on something I like to get thing right. When you receive the belt you will have to shape the belt to your body and it is made of very heavy stainless steel and can be hard to bend and shape without the correct tools or skills, Walter is a very skilled metal worker. I cant tell you wont get a good fit without visiting walter but if you did you will get the best fit possible and you could be spending a good deal of time in this belt. Yes I am a UK resident. If you do visit walter get him to show you his e-mail and I think you will understand why it can be difficult to contact him in this way. |

We got to Belgium by plane and once in Belgium we went by train without any problem and it was cheap. I did not wear the belt when travelling home it was in my case and no questions were asked, Since I have been talking to you I have been locked up and my S.O. has been out of the country on holiday with her girl friends, I have had no access to keys and I find it very concerning wearing the belt in these circumstances but the belt fits correctly and the biggest problems occur in my mind, but with time you get used to these feelings. Lets remember we asked for this situation. |

Ok. Well thanks for that. Been looking at Eurostar and it seems if you book in advance you can get London-Brussels return for £59 and it includes travel on to any Belgian station. So whilst your g/f has been away there are no emergency keys in the country which could be used if necessary? I assume she has the keys with her and regularly waves them in front of her friends bragging about how she can be 100% sure her man is faithful!? And yes, you're right, no point complaining when you asked for the situation! |

I went by Eurostar but from Brussels did car hire as I had other calls to make. Belgian roads are variable and motorway driving ditto. It would be realistic to remember that Walter has a young family and that his job takes him away from home. Hence communications and meeting deadlines can be difficult. Give him your mobile number if possible. He finished mine in a day ok, but it would have helped if I could have had another day to give him more time. Mine came back in luggage, the man on the x-ray machine did ask what it was. I said it was an 'ornamental metal cage that I had partly dismantled to fit in the case'. He did not ask what was to be kept in the cage! |

Thanks, Redflash. In your experience, was it worth the trip or would yours have been ok if you'd got it in post? Just got message from Walter saying it ready, not a automated one either. Just got to arrange transport and somewhere to stay near him. Any ideas? Was thinking of allowing 3 days there, time to look around and if any problems i can go back for adjustment. Having trouble contacting him by phone, it rings, then you get an answer message I don't understand and a noise which sounds like its a fax machine. The mobile number just won't connect. If the man on the x-ray asked me what it was I think I'd tell him truthfully! |

Steve, Yes, well worth the trip. Problems with knowing exactly what to measure, for example are hip measurements to the sides or front of the pelvic bones and how tight do you pull a tape for a crotch measurement all seem to make it worth getting him to do it. Particularly so if he can then fine adjust it on the body when made. His phone system can be impenetrable, I agree. But when he had a number for me he used it. Give him time to answer and your mobile number and allow an extra day, I suggest. Don't go unless he suggests he has spare time about then as he works away from home irregularly or may have other customers booked. All that plus young family can make him a bit rushed and his timings only approximate. There is a document somewhere on the site that says he can suggest where to stay and transport links. It would be worth asking. I stayed 30 min drive away outside Antwerp (expedia search found 3 star hotel and google maps a route guide) and I hired a car, but had other things to do as well. Does Big Steph have anything else to add? Good luck. |

Thanks again mate, it's so good to have found a place like this with really nice guys like Steph and yourself, who have had first hand experience of what I'm about to do. I hope you don't mind me picking your brains? Redflash, how's your belt wearing? How often does it come off? Any problems? Guess I'll find out soon about any problems, but no harm in asking I always think! |

Had personal mail from Walter telling me belt is ready, just trying to get him to tell me dates that suit him. Found document on Carrara site with directions in 4 languages, but no hints on accommodation. Have paid money, just waiting for dates and I'll be there and belted at last! Friend of mine suggested that i wear it on the way back, even if i have to take it off for security/customs, his reason being if it is picked out in my luggage they may say it's a new item and i have to pay VAT to bring it home! |

Dear Mr Gasmaskpipe. You have a wonderful energy, playing inside while waiting for a belt. So was I, when waiting for my Carrarra belt some years ago. It is a very pleasant feeling. Longing for something, badly wanted. I dont want to ruin that feeling, because it is so wonderful. Just a little warning. It can take some time for the body to accept a heavy gauge restraint at a very weak point of the body. Just don't expect it too easy wearing it in the beginning. There are at least small adjustments needed to make it wearable for longer than an hour or so. Even if it feels heavenly to close it around tourself, it can very soon call for adjustments. The body has also to learn what is happening. It is tougher than what is expected. I dont know what experiences you have before, but take it easy, and very carefully from start. And dont expect to wear it 24/7 emideately. Walter makes nice things, and is very skilful, but it is real hardware, and body is not. Another thing. Expect using pantyliners. It will cause you leakage of precums, as well as urine rests. And use plenty of vaseline, as protection against scars as well as urine burns. Also expect any panty, or what you use next outside the belt to be torn and ugly for other use than being between the belt and outer clothing. They won't look nice. ;-) I wish you the very best, and will wait for any report you want to give. Carrarra belts can feel heavenly, at least for a day or so. |

Baloo, I appreciate what you are saying, I know it will take time for my body to accept the device, I am not expecting Walter to fit it and not to take it off ever again! However, I am hoping that, once I am accustomed to it, I will be able to wear it almost constantly, with at least a month at a time between removals. Is this possible or am I just being stupid? Anyone? |

Dear Steve. I hope so too. Walther himself have been wearing belt for almost yearlong times. So it is clearly possible that you get what you want. But there is no guarantie. However it is not only a fitting issue. Everyones body is different in a lot of ways. Me myself have never been able to wear such a belt longer than 36 hours, due to serious swelling/edema problems. The fitting is as good as ever a belt can be. You might be immune at such problems, and then it is another thing. But don't count on too much in beforehand. Walthers creatings are beautiful things, and feels very great to wear. But you never know how the body answears to such stress as a heavy chastity belt. So my advice is to try carefully, and don't overdo anything. Once an edema has occurred, it is very easy to get it back. Stay healthy and have fun, is my advice. And let it take happy times when you are doing it. It will be both funny and thrilling anyway. |

Hello again Gasmaskpipe, just thought I would give my opinion on some of the advice given to you. I would not wear the belt on the return journey as it may cause real problems at customs and security and if your case has gone at check in and you are not allowed this steel device in hand luggage or on your person what are you going to do with it ?. Plus it may get really uncomfortable after just a few hours until your body gets used to the tight fit of the ridged steel you are encased in. On the where to stay problem it is worth letting Walter suggest a hotel as he will be able to find you more easily. On the issue of length of time you are locked in the belt it is really a case of trial and error. But do not lose sight of the keys until you are sure about the fit as these heavy steel belts can become very painful to wear and without the key you would have to destroy the belt to gain release. When you have got the fit right it is not possible to slip out of a carrara belt. I think you will in time be able to remain in the belt for a month or more. Let us know how you get on and if you have any other questions just ask. bye. |

I agree with Steph. When you get into a walther belt, you will realize that it is serious, and not a simple plaything. Even minor misfits can cause serious problems after some time, and sitting on a chair is one of the hardest things to do. Bicycling, uncounted as beinng more or less impossible. The belt is also very sensual, though it accepts some grade of erection, and is heavily lubed. It sometimes feels like being captured in a steel pussy, driving someone crazy. Although I cant wear it for long terms, I sometimes just have to wear it for the sensual feelings. The florentines, with a penis tube, such as the Tollyboy is more strict in behaviors, and dont allow so much of stimulation. They are more of reminding art. Personally I think these are easier to cope with, as more friendly when sitting, and not that stimulating. |

Thanks again guys. One of my main reasons for going for the Carrara belt over any others (aside from it being one of the best looking I've seen) is the fact that it encloses the balls too. I have very long floppy balls (used to wear weights continuously) and would much prefer them enclosed where they can't be damaged, and where i can't touch them as my balls are as much a plaything to me as my cock! I had also read that as secure belts go, it is one of the more comfortable ones, but maybe that's wrong? I think the Latowski also looks good, but the rigid bum plate is renowned for restricting movement severely and they are also very uncomfortable to sit in, so I believe. I am very much looking forward to my new secure knickers, but am well aware it will not be an easy ride! |

Well, comfort in a steelbelt is a relative thing. There are always grades of restriction in different ways. But the body can learn to cope with most of it. Just let it take time, and make those small adjustments that is needed. You never now in beforehand how far you reach in comfortness. I agree, that the Carrarra can be comfortable. Standing, walking and lying is quite easy. Sitting, however can be an issue. Especially in hard chairs. Getting into cars, and other gymnastic movements can be quite restricted. The problem by sitting, is that it digs heavy into the pubic area, and it presses at the bladder, also retricts drainage of lymph liquids. You get very tired, and it is not very healthy, due to swelling. It can create blisters, and edemas. You don't want that to happen. So use soft chairs if possible, because the lower part of the tube can sink down in the padding. It will press at the pubic anyway, but not so firm. Cleaning is an issue, due to the need of vaseline coating. It can be hard to get rid of it in the bottom of the tube. It will grow up bacterias, that smells and must be cleaned away totally. Vaseline tends to thicken in contact with urine, and becomes hard to clean out. You also have to renew the coating frequently, to avoid chafing, and urine burns. But sometimes it feels so good, hugging you in a very pleasant way, that you never want to take it off. So it is very hard to tell whether a belt is comfortable or not. It depends so much of the situations, and how sensible ones body is for this and that restriction. You will find out all that very soon. :-) For me. Even if I cant use it that much I had expected, I never regret I once bought it. There is no other way to find out how a steelbelt feels other that to wear one. |

Can I just ask any of you guys who have been to Walter's place, is it easy to get to using public transport from central Antwerp? Also, did you manage to arrange a time with him, or did you just turn up? He told me that any weekend after 20th April was OK, but since then I haven't managed to contact him at all, by phone or mail. I have arranged transport and a place to stay and will be there on 24th April, but it does worry me how disorganised he is, and whether he will actually be there when I go! Have managed once to get a text message off him, but since then he ignores messages and the landline phone either rings and rings or goes to an answerphone/fax which says something I don't understand, then screeches at you! |

Sorry Steve. I never met him live. It all was done by e-mail and I believe phone ehen it happened, some 6-7 years ago. But it felt all the time that we were close friends. We also agreed that an upgrade to a bigger tube was neccesary. It was never a probleme at that time. But it sure took its time. My advice woould be, let him book your stay, and meet you at a place that is obvious easy, and all is cleared out before you leave. Just to provide any possible misunderstandings. I am sure he would take care of you. |

I have met Walter and been to have a belt fitted and if you let him know the date and time of your arrival in Antwerp he will either meet you at the station or your hotel and take you to his home/workshop for the fitting. I found the whole process quiet simple once the travel arrangments were sorted. Dont just turn up without letting him know make arrangements he really is a very reliable person in my experiance. |

Yeah, but he won't answer my mail and I can't get him on phone, the man is a complete nightmare when it comes to communication, it's amazing he manages to do any business at all! He is aware when I'm going to be there, he told me before that next weekend would be ok, now, with less than a week to go I cannot get hold of him at all! |

Returned from Belgium with my wonderful new belt, it is everything I was expecting and more. The experience was very well worth it and I am sure that without Walter's expert knowledge I would not have got it to fit anywhere near as well as it does. I have worn it as much as possible since getting it, in fact I wore it from when Walter fitted it for 24 hours without removal except for tightening the ass strap. After a night off I was back in it and returned to Walter's for minor adjustment and to collect something I forgot, and apart from 3 hours off for the trip on Eurostar have been wearing it since. The best thing I've bought in years, don't know why I've waited so long, but the development Walter has put into the device and his excellent craftsmanship are worth every penny, everyone should have one of these! |

Eugene - The Carrara Concept belt, the full one with ball covers. Only real problem so far is that my foreskin swells up due the pressure exerted on it by my cock trying to straighten in the curved tube (I have quite a lot of foreskin but it always pulls back in the tube and therefore is a ring of bunched-up skin being forced hard against steel. There's a simple answer - I'm going to have to get it removed, get circumcised. I will not have a useless bit of skin stop my quest into chastity! |

Congratulations Steve. I am happy for you, being so satisfied. The problem you describe, is quite familiar as the one of mine. It sounds a bit drastic, to undergo a circumscisson, but it could perhaps help. Surgeons are always involved with risks. (I would not set the odds). Maybe you should think twice before.. |

Well, quite honestly if getting rid of my foreskin will mean I can wear the belt much longer, as it'sa intended to be worn, then I will not hesitate to do it, I will however pick my surgeon, if not satisfied with his answers I'll walk away before he gets his scalpel out. |

Just done my first full week of chastity, took it of today (though I did not want to) because I thought I should check things inside. Big swelling of foreskin which went down in about 8 hours, but otherwise no problems whatsoever. The foreskin HAS to come off, then I will be fine I'm sure. Got appointment to see urologist about circumcision on Tussday. |

This is a big step to take to achive chastity surgery is very drastic I think I would be looking for another solution to the problem. I am circumcised and when I first wore my carrara belt I had swelling just behind the head of my penis but I just removed the belt for a few days and it gradully stop happening. I think the problem occurs because of the semi erect state you seem to be in when wearing the belt but with time you adjust and the swelling disappears. These issues apart how do you find the security and comfort of the carrara and it does take time to achive both please let me know how you get on. |

Thank you Steph. I think "drastic" is a mild expression. I find it more wild. There is no guarantie, that surgery will do it, and there are always risks involved. And what is chastity all about? For most of us, I think it is a BDSM-type fetish. It should not be worth any risk, to achieve whatever is born in mind. Perhaps the surgery goes somewhat wrong, and by the time, the lust disappears. What has then been gained? Personally, I hesitate to do piercings. However a genital piercing might satisfy the level of security, that mostly lacks for the majority of CB equipment. Even piercings involves risks, that makes further CB playing impossible, as well as real discomforts and other troubles appears. In worst case, there is also a hazard gambling with real illness, and death caused by evil bacterias that is resistent at antibiotics. At least these arguments should be weighted, before a surgery of just fetish benefit is done. |

Well, went to see urologist today and he looked at cock and said he would have no problem recommending me for circumcision due to the tightness and quantity of skin. He didn't warn me about anything, or try to dissuade me from surgery. I didn't tell him about the chastity belt, if it had been a younger guy I might have. I am however quite worried about getting something nasty in hospital, (C Diff is getting more common!) even though I'll only be there for the day. He said it would be under general anaesthetic, but they give local as well so I imagine it must be painful afterwards! I will wait and see how I feel in a couple of months, which is about when the operation appointment will be he said. Can always back out then. |
