Permanent ankle chains

[BecomingKimberly]

I am having a little understanding your description.
You have chains around each ankle that cannot be removed, and them you have a chain connecting between the two ankle chains that can be removed with a tool for certain occasions?
Is this correct?

[grace56]

Close. I wear steel anklets that close with a small bolt. I cannot remove these. The chain is attached with two "quick-links" which I can remove with a small wrench if necessary. Hubby used to use small padlocks but stopped after a bad experience with them. I sewed a couple of long zippers into the inseam of a couple pairs of my jeans so I could change them easier around the house.

Yes-hardcore! What bad experiance did you have with padlocks. Lose the keys?

[grace56]

Worse than that. This was one of the first times I went out in public with my ankle chain on. We went to a resort town for our anniversary. I spent the last afternoon hiking in a nearby secluded state park, including walking and picnicing on a small beach there. Had a great time and we prepared to leave, as we had a dinner reservation in a town on the way home. Except beach sand had gotten into the padlocks, Hubby couldn't get the keys into the locks and he didn't bring the tool to remove the anklets. We were over 3 hrs. from home and I was very shackled. I was tempted to go into the restaurant anyway. We ended up ordering at a drive-thru and eating in the car. Beaches and padlocks don't mix.

Grace,

Why not just go to the restaurant anyway. I doubt they would turn you away because your ankles were shackled.
I had my ankles shackled with a chain on my wedding day over 5 years ago. It was intended as a joke just for the day but I enjoyed it and have worn them permanently ever since. The chain is locked around each ankle with a small padlock and the keys are now in a bank safety deposit box. The chain is about 12" long so I can get about (but I couldn't run for a bus - for example). I have never had a problem because of the chain and it does attract a lot of attention particularly because I always have to wear a skirt (and I like them short) as you can't get trousers on with chained ankles.
My husband gets a bit embarrassed sometimes when we are out as people think he insists that I wear it.

My goodness girl, 5 years on a 12" chain? How do keep such a short chain from damaging your skin? Even stairs must be a challenge. I have about a 12" stride and a 19" chain, so it rarely pulls on my anklets. I wasn't ready, at the time, to go out in public in a small "vanilla" town, though I did go to a couple "fetish" halloween parties cuffed and chained. I did go out on new years' for the first time among other people. I was nervous, then calm, then thrilled. I may do it again next year! I am active and go out nearly every day, without the chain, but with my anklets peeking out from under my jeans. I love the soft jingle they make when I move about, and I'm sure some other people wonder where it's coming from. I keep a journal on another web site. Any interesting stories to tell us?

I have adapted to take very short quick steps so the chain seldom comes taut.
Don't know about any specific stories. Lots of people have asked why I wear it and I usually explain that it is to remind me of my place. I do make it clear that I wear it my choice and am not being forced to.

[grace56]

Very short steps, no doubt. When I decided I wanted to begin wearing something 24/7 the ankle shackles were my idea, not my Hubby's. As long as I had a say when and where I wore the chain outside. That doesn't mean he always listened to me, but he always considered the situation and my feelings. He has always kept the little tool to remove the anklets, though. They come off only for doctor's, air travel and things like that.

Is it possible to indicate where?

[grace56]

Possibly. Hubby does not want me to post it publicly on a site such as this. If you send me a PM and tell me a little about yourself, we could e-mail it.

Lucy

what did your family, friends and employer say?

[Guest1245o]

Hey Grace56

What do you mean almost-permanent anklets? Does it mean you can't take off your anklets?

[grace56]

They come off only for Doctors visits, airports, and sometimes vacations. They require a small tool to open them, which my Hubby keeps with him.

Hey Grace56

Thaml ypu fpr answering to my post. I just was curious about almost permanent anklets. I have never heard about that before

[Guest1245o]

Hey Grace56

Do you get tired wearing almost permanent anklets?

I like to wear anklets in the summertime
