Test a beta BeltBolt

Interested in testing?

If you want to be a tester, you’ll need to apply when calls open. We’re likely 1-2 months from getting the first devices out to testers. Registering your interest in advance may result in you being proactively contacted to test.

What to expect from testing for BeltBolt

If you are accepted as a tester for BeltBolt, you will be sent a form to record your details and preferences for your test advice, which will be provided for where possible. Different testers may be sent different specifications of devices so you’re not guaranteed to get the exact specification you request, but I’ll try to accommodate as much as possible. We’ll make sure your BeltBolt device is compatible with your preferred chastity belt.

You will receive your prototype device using recorded/tracked post to the address you specify, after which you’re encouraged to test it regularly in the ways you’d like to use it, whether as part of play sessions or as everyday wear in addition to your chastity device.

BeltBolt straps to your hips using a chastity belt waist-/hip-band and is comprised of a controller box, sensor assembly and electrodes. The sensor assembly goes inside your chastity device tube, and the electrodes are mounted to your belt wherever you wish. Advice will be given to testers on how to do this properly. The device runs on battery power, and is charged via USB-C. You will need to supply your own charger (any USB-C cable will work, and the prototype will not support fast-charging via USB-C Power Delivery). You will also be supplied with an instruction booklet, a safety briefing, a screwdriver for opening the controller, and an additional set of electrodes.

Your prototype will be upgradeable with new firmware as the development process continues, and you’ll be provided with the instructions on how to do this. BeltBolt upgrades “over the air”, using your home Wi-Fi network, so to upgrade you will need to connect it to the internet. If you don’t have a Wi-Fi network, you will be able to manually upgrade it by connecting it to your computer. If you receive a prototype that works for you, after testing is complete, you may be able to keep the prototype, but until it’s decided, the prototype will remain property of BeltBolt for legal reasons. If you need to send BeltBolt back to us for any reason, we’ll provide you with pre-paid shipping labels or will reimburse you for postage costs. Although BeltBolt is designed to be a tough device, please don’t drive over it with a car or put it in your washing machine – test units may not be up to the same standards as the production version! You won’t be liable for any accidental damage to the device, though – that’s part of the testing experience. Testers who want to get a production version will get a hefty discount, or if you want to keep your existing test unit, we may be able to help you get compatible parts to upgrade it. Keep in mind that although we will release parts lists for the production version to enable cheap repairs, test units may have different mounting holes etc, so we may need to find you other components.

Who is prioritised for testing for BeltBolt?

We’re making BeltBolt on a pretty shoe-string budget, and as much as we’d like to get everyone a test unit, we do have to be a bit picky. We’re particularly looking for the first batch of testers to be as many of the following as possible:

• Owns a full chastity belt or suitable cage and is experienced wearing it;
• Has some experience with e-stim or shock devices;
• Has a keen interest in testing not just one version of the device and who wants to try later hardware revisions;
• Wants to test a waterproof version through longer-term wear (days at a time), and others who want to test a non-waterproof version for shorter periods;
• Is keen and able to provide detailed feedback on their experiences with it, good and bad;
• Is comfortable privately providing photos showing themselves wearing the device to help develop ergonomics and fit/finish;
• Lives in the UK or the rest of Europe, or the US or Canada, for postage simplicity, but this is lower priority.
  US-based testers: you may be liable for import tariffs. We are legally required to declare BeltBolt at its real value. If this is an issue, please contact us and we may be able to send you it in a different form with a much lower value.

Notes:

• If you don’t fit all or even most of the criteria above, please do still apply! You may have a particularly interesting device or use case.
• Some cage testers may be chosen depending on development progress. The first version of BeltBolt is intended to be worn with a chastity belt, but we are actively working on making it cage-compatible too.
• We want to test a wide range of chastity device models and configurations, so if you have a weird one, you’re encouraged to apply.
• Each tester will have a private channel on the BeltBolt Discord server (if you provide your username and you’re in our server) where only you and the developer will have access, so feedback sharing is private.
• You will be able (and indeed encouraged) to talk about testing BeltBolt to friends and on social media – there’ll be no non-disclosure agreements etc.

BeltBolt is based in the UK and the testing programme will be undertaken in compliance with UK law.
