I have three comments in regard to this discussion: 1. I believe that any padlock that fits a trapped ball chastity device (TBD) is vulnerable to being cut off. Some full belt devices are designed so that the shackle of the padlock is covered when it is locked on the device, so that you would have to damage the device itself to take it off. I don't know of any TBDs that have this feature. 2. Since either the lock or the device itself could be cut off, the primary concern is that the device can't be removed without the keyholder knowing about it. If the sub isn't skilled at lock picking, there shouldn't be a problem. If he cuts it off, the keyholder will know, because the lock is destroyed. If you're concerned that he can open the lock without destroying it, that's a different situation. In that case, you need some way to know that the lock was removed. I don't see how dripping wax on the lock would help with that. Wax could be broken accidentally. Also, unless the keyholder uses a seal to imprint the wax, what's to stop the sub from dripping new wax on the lock to cover up his transgression? There are two good solutions: (a) Apply security tape over the lock hole. This tape can't be removed without being broken, and it is available with numbers printed on it, so that it can't be replaced without the keyholder knowing about it. (b) The numbered plastic single-use padlocks/security seals also serve this purpose. Removing them essentially destroys them, so they can't be replaced surreptitiously. Ironically, the plastic locks seem much less secure, because they're obviously easy to cut off. However, they can't be opened and then replaced, so they may actually be more "secure" for the intended purpose. 3. The obtuseness of people unable to understand the attraction the rest of us feel toward physical enforcement, including inescapable bondage in various forms, is rather astounding. It's not that hard to understand. Physical control/enforcement/coercion creates feelings of true helplessness, of being controlled, which to many people is very exciting, and leads to more submissive emotion than without. People who prefer absolute obedience, rather than any force, consistently display an attitude of superiority, despite the occasional inclusion of a disclaimer that "your kink isn't mine, but it's still OK". What they really seem to be saying most of the time is "I have to pay lip service to your right to enjoy your own kink, but mine is clearly better and more twue." When the OP is clearly focused on physical enforcement, and asks for help with that, there's no valid reason to hijack the thread by posting about how you prefer obedience instead. Such posts appear clueless at best, and arrogant at worst.
