Orgasms are great, but orgasm denial kicks things up to another level.
You know that wonderful feeling when you’re edging — getting closer and closer to orgasm, but pulling back before you fully reach climax? (I know I sure do!)
It’s like the feeling of build-up when you’re in a cart, climbing a roller coaster.
Chastity play extends that delicious sensation by preventing you from playing, even when you really want to.
And I’ve found 3 female chastity belts that will allow almost anyone to dabble in orgasm denial.

Our experts have chosen the Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather Belt as the top choice this year. It’s very high quality, and will meet the needs of most women.
What to Know About Chastity Play and Choosing a Chastity Belt
Female chastity belts can bring to mind images of medieval maidens, ensuring that their virtue stays intact. But the reasons modern people use chastity belts have little to do with the historical uses, or stories.
In fact, modern chastity belt wearers often wear them specifically to intensify sexy times through BDSM orgasm denial.
Here’s more information on these belts and how they’re used:
What is Orgasm Denial?
Orgasm denial is a form of sex play that involves maintaining high levels of arousal for extended periods and avoiding orgasm. It can be a form of pleasurable torture. Often, one partner will intentionally stimulate the other in ways that increase arousal without leading to orgasm.
Sometimes, in BDSM play, a dominant partner will also use orgasm denial as a form of playful punishment for the submissive partner. Many submissive types enjoy having the choice of when or whether they may orgasm taken away from them.
Chastity play is just one form of orgasm denial.
Chastity Play Can be Partnered or Solo
Did you know that you don’t need a partner to enjoy orgasm denial? It’s a type of play you can enjoy all by yourself, if you want to.
Here are a few reasons you may want to lock your lady parts away:
- You work from home and don’t want to get distracted by masturbation.
- You need to focus on studying and don’t want to get distracted by masturbation.
- You want to enhance your sexual desire by knowing you can’t satisfy your cravings.
- You want a way to satisfy your submissive fantasies.
- You feel like you masturbate too often and would prefer to use that energy elsewhere.
Of course, it’s also a lot of fun to receive orgasm denial from a partner!
For partners with high sex drives, chastity play can improve their orgasms by extending the time between sessions.
Size Matters
One of the most important things to look for when selecting a female chastity belt is the size range that the item comes in and whether it is adjustable.
You’ll usually find dimensions that include the smallest and largest adjustable size, unless you are looking at custom belts that are made to size.
The majority of adjustable chastity belts change size like a standard belt with buckle, though instead of small holes, they have slots where a ring and padlock fit through instead of a buckle.
Adjustability is Not Just About the Waist
The best chastity belts will adjust in two directions — both at the waist and at the crotch. Being able to adjust the length of the crotch strap allows you to get the right fit for your height.
And that’s important. Having the right fit at the waist is mostly about your comfort, but having the right fit between your legs ensures that the chastity device is effective at preventing you (or anyone else) from touching your genitals.
Even Beginners Can Try Chastity
I know these can look intimidating, but they are very safe to use. The mechanism for how they work is simple to figure out, as well. Female chastity devices, in particular, are easy to remove by the person with the key to the locks. (Yes, they are typically locked in place!)
The person holding the key can remove the belt at any time. That being said, there is no danger in wearing these long term, as long as you can remove it to make a bathroom break.
Some people who enjoy orgasm denial or submission may even wear a chastity belt under their clothing when they go out in public.
Comfort is Relative
As with many activities in BDSM, comfort is not always the top priority. Sometimes, part of the fun is in being (or making your partner to be) intentionally uncomfortable.
But with all types of BDSM toys, what level of comfort you want is up to you. For some people, the purpose of a chastity belt is to wear it comfortably all day under clothing, in order to feel a sense of being owned or having submitted.
For others, the fun comes in the torture of discomfort and the delicious release when the belt finally comes off. (After all, you can only feel such a sensation of intense comfort after being uncomfortable for a bit.) It’s your choice what experience you’re looking for.
Now let’s take a look at the belts.
The 3 Best Female Chastity Belts This Year
I was able to find belts that fit a range of individuals and budgets, while providing quality construction.
Here they are:
1. Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather Chastity Belt
This is a basic chastity belt that works well for beginners to chastity play.
The Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather Belt is made from double-lined leather with slots that allow for size adjustment. You just lock the size in place with the included small padlocks.
One strap goes around your waist, and the other goes between your legs, to prevent touching the vulva and anus.
This belt also comes with two additional toys (a dildo and a butt plug). The idea is that you can insert the dildo and or butt plug, which the chastity belt will hold in place, for extra torture and teasing. But these included toys are pretty low quality, so I suggest buying it only if you like the chastity belt, not for the toys.
Pros:
- Made with sturdy leather
- Effectively prevents masturbation
- Easy to adjust for size
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Dildo and plug are cheaply made
- Not the most comfortable strap between the legs
- Waist strap does not fit larger individuals (fits up to 35 inches)
- The padlocks are low quality
2. DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Lockable Chastity Belt
The DOMINIX Deluxe Leather Belt is made of leather straps that adjust like a belt around the waist and lock with two padlocks.
The waist strap connects to the crotch strap at an o-ring on the back, making the style different from the other belts on this list.
However, it should be noted that this belt locks on the back, making it difficult to use for solo play.
Another feature that sets this particular chastity belt apart is the front gusset, which is padded and has a cutout heart design.
Unfortunately, the thin strap design at the crotch makes this chastity belt less than effective at preventing masturbation, especially since the crotch strap is not adjustable. This is the only belt on this list, however, that fits individuals with a waist larger than 35.5 inches.
Pros:
- Cute heart design
- Comes with extra keys
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- May be loose on smaller individuals (minimum size of 31.5 inches)
- Crotch strap is not size adjustable
- Thin crotch strap does not prevent genital touching
- The padlocks are low quality
3. Locking Women’s Chastity Belt With Thigh Straps
This belt is a great option for those with experience in female chastity.
The biggest downside is that it is quite pricey compared to the other two options on this list.
This chastity belt is made from high-quality leather that adjusts for size with slots where padlocks can be placed. Unlike the other two belts listed here, it has a very comfortable piece of hourglass-shaped leather for the area between the legs.
This wider leather piece covers the vulva and anus, so you don’t have to worry about uncomfortable straps getting into funny positions between your cheeks. And unlike the other belts, it includes leather thigh straps that give it a sexier look.
That being said, if you’re new to chastity play, I would hold off on purchasing this one until you know for sure that you like chastity.
Pros:
- Attractive aesthetic
- Effectively prevents masturbation
- Easy to adjust for size
- Comfortable to wear
Cons:
- Expensive
- Waist strap does not fit larger individuals (fits up to 35.5 inches)
The Best of the Bunch
Each of these items has its perks, but I feel there’s a clear winner as far as meeting the needs of the majority of women looking to experience chastity:
The Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather Belt.
This belt adjusts at both the waist and the crotch, ensuring a snug fit that keeps hands (and other parts) away from the genitals. It also beats out the DOMINIX belt because this one has a wider crotch strap that more effectively prevents orgasm. Plus, it is affordable.
Another benefit not found with the DOMINIX belt is that the location of the padlocks on the Bondage Boutique Belt allows the device to easily be used by a partner or by yourself for solo play.
