Elles n'étaient pas utilisées dans "le Moyen Âge" (sauf si le nord d'Italie dans le quattrocento est "le Moyen Âge" -- plusieurs l'appellent "la renaissance"). Avez-vous lu ces paragraphes dans l'article anglais? --

• Chastity belts are surrounded by myths and folklore, the most common of which is that they were first used by crusading knights on their wives. However, there is no evidence of the existence of chastity belts until ca. 1400 (over a century after the last Crusade), and pre-20th-century chastity belts had padded linings which had to be changed fairly frequently, and so were not practical for uninterrupted long-term wear. ... The period of the chastity belt's diffusion to Europe beyond Italy, and of its relatively most common use (though this was still quite rare), was the 16th century and the 17th century — so that the classical historical chastity belt can be more accurately described as a "Renaissance" phenomenon, rather than "Medieval".
