Access Denied CBelt - First ImpressionsSubmitted by: BardHi Altairboy, Mrs. Bard visited Dressing For Pleasure this afternoon, got two big kisses from John and picked up her brand new male CB made by Access Denied. She installed it on me a few hours ago (after first removing the Jones belt I was wearing). I would like to tell you about my first impressions for your readers. I must first tell everyone that the belt was made for me by the A.D. beltmakers who did their own measuring. I also had some small (but helpful, I hope) input on some design features. This belt is of the TOLLY/JONES design. I have found during the past five months that this design offers fairly good security, allows for adequate hygiene, and is fairly comfortable. Mrs. Bard keeps me belted almost constantly except for brief outings for sex and some exercise. So far, my longest consecutive stint in the Jones belt was 32 days. I really had no problems. We don't (yet) have the Walter, but from what I have read, continuous use would prove difficult. I guess I will find out soon when #55 arrives. Regardless, I think the Tolly/Jones design is probably the champ when it comes to long-wearability. The AD belt seems to be made of slightly thicker stainless steel than the Jones. And the waistband lock assembly is different in that it has more pins and creates an assembly that is more solid than the Jones. The lock is similar but the waistband padlock locks into a notch on the post rather than a pin through a hole in the post. This arrangement seems to be secure. The waistband itself is a bit narrower than the Jones. The rear chains are a bit more slender than the Jones, but otherwise very similar. The fit is better than the Jones, which is still a bit too loose. But remember that these belt makers measured every inch of my parts to insure good fit. Others will not have this benefit, so I urge everyone to follow their measuring directions exactly. The rubber piping seems to be affixed very strongly to the edge of the shield. Only time will tell if it will come off. The rubber around the waistband is similar to the Jones insofar as it is in three pieces. I believe they still plan to introduce a one-piece extruded rubber waistband in the future that should be a vast improvement. The rubber itself is not as tacky as the Jones belt, which tends to stick to the skin. I had used talc in between the waistband and waist to solve this problem. The front shield is shorter and narrower than the Jones. I think it makes for a more comfortable fit without sacrificing security. I have already been using the coated tube and I have found it to be a great improvement over the uncoated metal which gave me a rash over time. The rubberized coating provides cushioning, is more secure then bare metal, is extremely tough, and shows absolutely no signs of wear after two months of almost continuous use. Overall, I think Access Denied has produced a high quality, well-designed product with some unique features that makes a good design much better. A very impressive initial entry, I must admit. The new AD belt must be seriously considered by any CB wannabes, especially if they can give a six-week turnaround. Mrs. Bard says I will be wearing this for the foreseeable future to give it a very good test. She plans to alternate between the Jones, AD and Walter belts so I can remain belted indefinitely with minimum wear on my parts and on the belts. I will contact you further after a few weeks of testing.
Regards,
