Practical considerations

I hesitate to add an advice section, since I've never seen a KTB, but from all the accounts out there on tpe.com etc., it seems clear that it doesn't work equally well for everyone (despite the Femina Society fantasies). Wearing it for an extended period (especially overnight) requires a certain gradual training or learning period, and some men may never be able to practically accomodate themselves to extended wear. There's an account out there from a guy who slapped it on as soon as he received it in the mail, and kept it on continuously for the next six or seven days (which seems to be exactly the wrong thing to do); he didn't suffer serious injury, but had lacerated skin oozing fluid...

In normal use, the spikes are not supposed to puncture the skin (despite having semi-pointed ends) due to the "bed of nails" effect. AnonMoos 15:16, 28 April 2008 (BST)

Drawing image

I'm adding an image of a simple little drawing; it's kind of basic, but gets the central idea across fairly clearly. Most of the photographs out there seem to be of the unhinged version, but the final perfected form of the device as sold by its original creators (the Femina Society) had a hinge. The lack of a hinge makes an inherently somewhat difficult to handle device even more unwieldy... AnonMoos 02:12, 28 April 2008 (BST)
