Female chastity devices are belt style, and they often look similar to a thong. These devices typically consist of a flat panel of leather that is placed over the genitals. Zippers may also be present to allow a dominant access to the genitals. Female chastity belts are usually locked in place with a small padlock located on the straps around the waist. Styles with zippers can usually be secured with small padlocks as well.
Both male and female chastity devices have small holes or perforations to allow the wearers to urinate without removing the devices.
In kink circles, the month of October is often referred to as "Locktober," and is when people who enjoy chastity play may challenge themselves to chastity - with or without the help of a device - for the month.
