There's no evidence of chastity belts being used during the middle ages except metaphorical or as a joke. It also makes no sense, just think about it. The hygiene & bouquet story is also incorrect. https://x.com/fakehistoryhunt/status/1863243421193810082 https://fakehistoryhunter.net/2019/09/10/medieval-myths-bingo/ https://www.google.nl/books/edition/Misconceptions_About_the_Middle_Ages/oneTAgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=The+Medieval+Chastity+Belt+Unbuckle&pg=PA254&printsec=frontcover https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity_belt https://www.google.nl/books/edition/The_Medieval_Chastity_Belt/4jF-DAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=The+Medieval+Chastity+Belt,+by+Albrecht+Classen&printsec=frontcover https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/medieval-chastity-belts-are-myth-180956341/ https://www.google.nl/books/edition/Fake_History/5kJYEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=teeuwisse+fake+history+chastity+belt&pg=PA98&printsec=frontcover https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/life-in-the-1500s.html https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/life-in-the-1500s/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1865955556772515948

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
