ORIGINAL: AquaticSub By collar I mean a stereotypical collar that buckles/fastens/locks around the neck and by trouble I mean - it gives you trouble physically not any issues with commitment. My collar from Valyraen is a necklace but I went out on the town the other night and wore one of my lovely dress collars. A very nice piece designed for greyhounds that was actually fit to my neck so it fastens perfectly. And I still find I can only wear it for so long before it begins to annoy the hell out of me and it must come off. It's not the material, which is beautiful soft. It's just having something around my neck - eventually it has to come off or I'm miserable. Which is a pity because I love the way collars and chokers look around my neck. It's not an issue in our lives or anything since the one that is actually important doesn't give me trouble. I'm just curious if anyone else has a similiar issue with them. [:)] Master Charles bought me a black leather dog collar with a ring at the front in the States, and after a few days of wearing it 24 hours a day, it actually caused eczema or dermatitis which needed hydrocortisone cream and removal of the collar to get rid of the rash which started under my chin (strangely enough!) and spread all the way past my collarbone. We both suspected it may have been a reaction to the metal, as i have a nickel allergy. He took it off my neck after the rash reappeared once He had put my collar back on. He is currently looking for something hypoallergenic for me, possibly stainless steel silicone-lined to prevent the rash returning. i saw a Victorian-style black ribbon and beaded choker in a wee boutique recently, which He told me to get as a dress collar until He is able to find something permanent that He can place around my neck when i return to the States. i will never forget how i felt when He had to remove the last collar - even though it was for my wellbeing, as i had gotten a reaction, i still felt lost, adrift, like my heart was breaking. For me, it is a physical, tangible demonstration of my devotion and commitment to Him, which He understands. He was so wonderful to me when i was distressed, and told me that the collar on my heart and soul is what really counts. He is currently considering lockedinsteel.com or Eternity Collars, and finding out if the metal is hypoallergenic. k.
