Subblime - Black leather belt harness, one size

144 g shipped, packaging included: the Subblime black leather belt harness is by far the lightest of the range's three waist pieces, against 182 and 222 g for the two chain belts. The manufacturer files it among the chain belts although the reference is titled belt harness; it states leather, a chain detail, one size and boxed presentation, with no other measurement.

Why choose this model?

• Contradictory filing: titled belt harness, filed among chain belts by the manufacturer.
• 144 g: 38 g less than the chain belt, a gap due entirely to metal.
• Discretion: the least loaded of the three, so the easiest to wear under a jacket.
• Leather stated: the material is named by the manufacturer, with no thickness or finish given.
• One size: adjustment at the buckle, with no waist range published.

How to use it

1. Set two fingers' clearance at the waist, measured flat rather than by pulling on the leather.
2. Position the buckle before tightening: on the hip it gets in the way less when seated.
3. Check that the chain hangs free and does not catch under the belt.
4. Avoid sitting for long with a link underneath you: metal marks the skin within minutes.
5. Loosen at any abdominal discomfort, without waiting for the evening to end.

The chain belt adds metal up to 182 g, and the belt with rings and chains goes as far as 222 g. See also understanding materials and starting BDSM safely.

Care and precautions

Leather is not immersed and takes neither alcohol, nor solvent, nor disinfectant wipes: a barely damp cloth, flat air-drying, well away from a radiator. Silicone lubricant leaves a permanent mark on it. The metal is dried separately, since moisture stays trapped in the links. The manufacturer does not name it: a short forearm test where a nickel allergy is known. A belt worn tight across the abdomen quickly becomes unpleasant; set it high on the waist rather than low on the stomach. It is not an attachment point: no resistance to pulling is stated.

Frequently asked questions

What waist size?

One size, adjustable. The manufacturer publishes no range.

Is it a belt or a harness?

The reference is titled belt harness; the manufacturer files it among chain belts. The two neighbours settle the doubt.

What metal is the chain?

Not published. Caution where a nickel allergy is known.

Can it be worn over clothing?

Nothing prevents it. Mind fine knits, which the links catch.

How does it arrive?

Boxed, with no detail of format published.

SoPigalle tip: set it standing, then sit down before confirming. A belt fitted upright turns out two notches too tight the moment you bend, and it is the seated setting that decides how long an evening lasts.
