Benefits of The Stockroom's waist cincher belt

A waist cincher belt gives you a shaping squeeze like a corset but is more of an accessory, which works better for an everyday look. Of course, the fact that it¡¯s lockable (you can use up to four small locks in the buckles on the front) and has four D-rings, two on each side, also helps whether you¡¯re going to a fetish event or a date and might be getting involved in some bondage.

The D-rings are big enough to take a rope (6mm or smaller would work best, though they¡¯re relatively big so 8mm would also work), or double-sided snaps that often come with cuffs. I could also imagine using a small diameter chain through a loop on each side and snapping to handcuffs or a spreader bar on the arms. Or a rope or chain holding the wearer from both sides to two posts, kind of like a horse. If you use your imagination, a lockable waist cincher belt gives you a lot of options.

Great for doggy-style slings

It¡¯s also good (according to my partner) as something to hold on to during doggy-style, though not ideal. I¡¯m still on the hunt for a classy version of those doggy-style slings, so if anyone has heard of anything, do feel free to let me know.

Drawbacks of this waist cincher belt

I really only have two complaints with this waist cincher belt. Firstly, if you¡¯re naked, the PVC material can stick to your skin, and it¡¯s actually a lot smaller than I expected it to be.

I¡¯m not sure which size I am, but on the website, X-Small is listed as fitting people with 23.5 inches to 25-inches waists, and X-Large fits 32 inches to 36 inches. This could also be more variable if you get different ties, whether shoelace or ribbon. But, there¡¯s only so much variety you could want - you don¡¯t want the PVC part of the belt only reaching to the sides of your torso.

Thankfully for me, with some fussing I did get my lockable waist cincher belt to fit in a nice way - only about 3 to 4 inches where the lacing is. Additionally, I can easily adjust the buckles in the front depending on how I¡¯m feeling that day or what I¡¯m wearing.

A waist cincher belt can be a fashion statement and a piece of bondage equipment.

Buckling up

Interestingly, there are piece buckles on both sides. As a result of this, there are just two strips with holes keeping everything together, rather than a buckle on one side and the strap fastened on the other.

This can allow for a little more adjustability, and so far, these pieces seem pretty sturdy - and the buckle itself is quite nice and pretty easy to work with. I sometimes have a hard time with small fussy buckles because of arthritis in my hands, but these haven¡¯t bothered me. They should be alright for most people.

To conclude, this is a great piece. I honestly see myself wearing it more like a ¡°maybe there will be bondage?¡± accessory over clothes, rather than wearing it during clothesless, at home play.
