Some of you might know that I’ve been looking into getting a solid Stainless Steel A-ring for The Fort. It seems to be a metal version of the cb-3000, and their rings are compatible; up until now, I had been using a solid plastic cb3K ring.
I asked Toby Newman from chastity-online to craft one just before Christmas. Given the weather disruptions, holidays, etc., plus it being his first custom piece for me, he did well sending it off yesterday and having it arrive today. You can find Toby at (Not sure how to hyperlink it properly, sorry—just copy and paste).
It has a bead-blasted finish; shiny would have been perfect, but this is good too. It comes with its own locking pin. The Fort’s original pin fits mine as well, though not quite as recessed as the one Toby made. He can also make pins and spacers to your specific needs.
I’ve been told the Stainless Steel used is high quality and won’t trigger my nickel allergy; time will tell if that holds true. I put on the new A-ring today myself and we shall see how it works out.
It feels much better than both The Fort’s original hinged ring and the cb3K’s plastic one, but more importantly, I feel significantly better wearing it.
Toby has been very communicative throughout, whether we were working on the design or just keeping me updated on progress.
I’ve started wearing it now. If any issues pop up, I’ll post about them here.
Right now, I’m looking for a suitable solution to put through my PA (perineal area) to give that full ‘can’t get out of this head-fuck’ feeling. Hopefully someone knows someone who can make or adapt something. I have some ideas but need to run them by a maker first. If anyone could point me toward the right person, I’d be very grateful.
I am at least one major step closer to achieving my goal: an all-steel setup with no pull-out risk.
