Hello, Melanie! I saw your entry in Altairboy's Guestbook. I don't know how many replies you have received but because the "cleanliness" issue was something my wife and I also had some concerns about before we received the male chastity belt I now wear and am locked in to, I thought I would let you know how we have handled it (the "cleanliness" issue).
Please keep in mind that what I am writing only applies to what I know and have experienced. What you (or your sub's) experience may vary.
You wrote in Altairboy's Guestbook:

My wife and I also enjoy Altairboy's web site. Until I found it on the Internet, the only chastity belts (male or female) that we knew of were cheap, easily defeated leather ones in catalogs such as Centurion's Whole Catalog of the Bizarre.
After downloading and reading every page on Altairboy's web site at the time we made our decisions, we mutually agreed that the William Jones-manufactured "Tollyboy" design was the best, so that belt was what we purchased. My wife measured me, we sent off a money order and - viola! - I am now the lockee and my wife is the locker (the keyholder).
Your question wasn't really clear on exactly what you mean by "cleanliness of my sub's body". Do you mean "whole body" (such as taking showers and/or baths); or cleaning himself after urinating (the old number 1); or cleaning himself after defecating (the old number 2); or both numbers 1 and 2?
I can't speak for other styles of belts (such as the SSC "Birdcage" or the Walter Goethel "Belgium" belt) because I only have and am locked in to the Tollyboy style all steel male chastity belt.
So that this e-mail isn't a total waste, I will attempt to let you know how my wife and I have handled the cleanliness issue, as pertains to myself, when I am locked in the chastity belt.
Whole Body Cleaning (Bathing/Showering):
I haven't taken a bath wearing the chastity belt, so sorry, no experience. For taking showers, I take two showers every day. When wearing the belt, there is no room and thus no way to get my hand, a wash cloth or a bar of soap under the snugly-fitted front shield or waist belt. So what I do is soap my body at the abdomen and lower chest/lower back level, then rinse off. As the water hits me and runs down, gravity carries the soap and soapy residue down my body to places I cannot reach. Then I use a Waterpik brand flexible shower head, with the setting set to as hard a stream as possible, and direct the spray, with the shower head as close to me as possible, at both the right and left sides of the waist belt (where it otherwise irritates the most) and also the right and left sides of the front shield.
The remainder of my shower goes as normal. When I dry off, I use a towel as normal. For drying under the belt, I use a hot air blow dryer at the lowest (coolest) setting, again aiming the air flow at the right and left sides of both the waist belt and also the front shield. It helps for me to be lying on my back when I do this so that gravity will help draw moisture away from my crotch. So far, no damage to either myself or the belt. That's not to say that it's quick or easy. It's not. It's definitely something you've got to work at. In fact, wearing the chastity belt as added approximately 20 minutes to my bathing and drying ritual. Simply stated, there is no substitute for taking the necessary time and being careful. But it's worth it; there is no doubt it's paid off, comfort-wise.
Urinating:
For cleaning myself after urinating, it's a lot easier and faster than what I have to go through after a shower. Still, a bit of experimentation and trial-and-error were necessary until I "perfected" the system I now use.
First, I have to sit down to urinate. For me, that wasn't as big a deal as others have written about because I used to sit when urinating if I wanted to read for a while or if I used the toilet in the middle of the night when I didn't want to turn on a light (it can be difficult for a guy to hit a target in the dark when they are half asleep - sitting down solves THAT problem).
The actual passage of urine happens. The urine hits the inside of the lowermost portion of the front shield, which by design tapers down until well between my legs. The shield has several tiny holes drilled in it near the lower (between my legs) end, but my urine still "puddles" inside the shield because the holes are so tiny they don't allow the urine to quickly pass through. I slowly and gently rock from side to side and front to back to "help" the urine to "spill off" the sides. Once that's done, I open a moist towelette (the kind you can get at any camping supply store) and, reaching behind myself while still seated, bring the moist towelette up and carefully and thoroughly wipe off the bottom (inside and outside) of the front shield and also the lowermost portion of the backside chains. I also dab at my scrotum sac and the end of the penis tube (what I can reach). If there is a great deal to wipe off, I'll use a second moist towelette. When I'm finished with the moist towelette I simply drop it in to the toilet bowl and it gets flushed away just as any toilet paper would.
I always carry two unopened moist towelette packs with me whenever I'm locked in the chastity belt. They are small and flat and easily fit in any pocket. Additionally, I always carry a few spares in my briefcase and also in the glove compartment of my car.
I have to be cautious when I'm at work. I can't use the wall urinals and because there are never enough toilet stalls (sound familiar?) in the men's room, at the slightest urge to urinate I head for the men's room. So far, I've not had any accidents and no one knows of my wearing the chastity belt under my suits.
Two other things I had to learn were not to allow the chastity belt to make too much noise (e.g., the backside chains rattling on the toilet seat when I sit down or stand up) or, when standing from a seated position, inadvertently catching the lowermost of the two chastity belt padlocks on the inside lower front edge of the toilet seat. (The Tollyboy design uses two padlocks on the male chastity belt: one for locking the waist belt and front shield together; the other (about half way down the outside of the front shield) for locking the penis tube to the front shield.)
Defecating:
For cleaning myself after defecating, it's very similar to urinating. Have to sit. Have to be careful about noise and catching the padlock. I use only the moist towelettes instead of toilet paper to clean myself. I always use one or two moist towelettes to make sure I am as cleaned off as possible. The alcohol which is on the moist towelettes is not an irritant. Cleaning (wiping off) the bottom of the front shield or the backside chains is not really necessary because nothing which comes out of my rear end hits anything other than the water below, but just to be on the safe side I always use another, clean moist towelette and thoroughly and carefully wipe off those two areas as well. Similar to the procedure when urinating, I simply drop the used moist towelettes into the toilet bowl and they are flushed away.
I hope these remarks help answer your Guestbook question.
Best wishes...

P.S.: In case you're wondering...
The longest continuous period I have worn (been locked in) the chastity belt without so much as one second of relief (unlocked), has been 44 days. During that period, my wife was in and out of town on various business-related travel, but she still was my keyholder so was very well aware of my situation. Before we started, we mutually agreed that a month and a half would be the predetermined period and that during that period, the belt would not be unlocked, no matter what (emergencies excepted). We also agreed that I would not be a whiner and my wife would not be a tease. We both fully kept our own ends of the arrangement.
However, the rituals I have learned to adapt to are applicable, no matter how long or short of a time I am locked in the chastity belt.
(When the period I mentioned in the paragraph just above first started, after the first 3-4 days I thought I was going to explode from the internal pressure and inability to relieve it. Then I realized that the only person suffering because of my libido was myself. That helped to settle me down, as did the realization that I was "in the major leagues now" while locked into the chastity belt. Sexual gratification, either by myself or with a woman, was absolutely impossible.
Other things I did which helped get me through difficult times where that I stopped reading/looking at arousing literature and also stopped watching certain television programs (Baywatch, Silk Stalkings, MTV, etc.). I suppose it is fair to say that being locked in the chastity belt not only caused enforced chastity but also a definite lifestyle change. (My wife later told me that all of the changes I underwent were for the better.) Eventually I became so used to wearing the chastity belt that I sometimes forgot I was locked in to it. I know this will sound a bit crazy, but when the chastity belt was finally unlocked and I took it off, I somehow felt "naked" without having it on.)
And lastly, why do I, a happily married, heterosexual man, wear a chastity belt? Simply stated: Because I have a stronger sex drive than my wife. I'm not trying to boast here (I have no reason to), but I enjoy vigorous sex at least twice a day (once in the morning and again in the evening) and sometimes more often (sneaking away to get together at lunch times!). Sometimes my wife (or I) would not be in the mood or too tired. Although never unfaithful (outside our marriage, that is), at times such as those, I would obtain sexual release through masturbation.
My wife was not thrilled that I was doing that and thus was born the idea of controlling my libido. We both still enjoy vigorous sex, except now my wife controls the frequency. We both enjoy the arrangement and I would have to say that my being locked in to the chastity belt has actually helped our marriage and improved our love life. I've learned to become more patient and to appreciate my wife a lot more. We make the most tender love and we both enjoy every second of it!!!
