Nice belt, one of the most beautiful and durable belts, but I was very disappointed with the locking mechanism on the belt. It took a while to get used to opening it. This should only be correct, not my experience. There were several frustrating occasions where I couldn't open it; I was in the men's room, I needed to get out, but I couldn't unbuckle my belt. The belt just snapped into place, didn't move for a few minutes. I got used to it after a week or two (shouldn't have taken a week or two), it wasn't obvious how to press the bean when looking at the button and it wasn't easy for me anyway to move. You had to push the strap and apply the necessary force and it would open. When I finally got the hang of it, the buckle mechanism broke and wouldn't close at all, I sent it back. They were very kind and quick in getting it back, great service. maybe mine was broken, they look a lot better than other straps, but if they all work like that then it's not for me. I have a couple of Slide straps and haven't had any issues with the locking mechanism. They don't look as cool as those belts, but hey, I'm not going to wear a chastity belt in the name of fashion. Good: - Great customer service - Nice solid buckle (other brands look shabby). ) Bad: - bad design or bad locking mechanism on what I got.
