I am allergic to stainless steel/nickel. I knew that titanium belts would be difficult to find in stores and I did not want to look online for one. I first found out I was allergic about 12 years or so ago when I was in high school. I didn't know what the rash on my stomach came from at the time so I went to the doctor and they told me it could be my belt. I stopped wearing it for a week and sure enough the rash went away.

I have been using cloth belts for years since then and then one day I decided to see if I can find a titanium belt online and I checked amazon first and sure enough they had one. I was a little skeptical at first seeing that these belts aren't cheap but I took a chance and I have to say that it works. I have no allergic reaction what so ever with this belt. I have been using it for almost 2 weeks when if I use a regular stainless steel belt I will have bumps on my stomach in about 2 days. This belt works for me and on top of that it is lighter and much better looking as well. I plan on getting a second one soon.
