Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His Slave and Messenger.
We have researched some of what has been written about this device and have come to know that experts have indicated that there are health risks and unfavorable consequences for both its male and female wearers, among which are the following:
First, this solid material blocks the flow of perspiration, forcing it back into the outer layer of the skin, leading to the spread of bacterial and fungal infections.
Second, the direct and prolonged contact with the skin causes chafing of the outer layer of the skin followed by skin redness and the breakout of a rash in the form of a serious type of skin eczema.
Third, the constant presence of impurities that cannot be avoided in this area while wearing the chastity belt will inevitably lead to viral infections in the blood as viruses travel through the sensitive areas of the female genitals.
Fourth, it promotes bad thoughts and suspicion between the man and his wife when the motive for wearing it is to avoid accusations of adultery.
There are also other negative effects that may rise from wearing that belt. Needless to say, the Islamic Sharee‘ah forbids everything that causes harm. One of the established principles of Islamic law is that "Harm must be eliminated." The origin of this principle is the Hadeeth reported on the authority of Ibn 'Abbaas 
in which the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “There should be neither harm nor reciprocating harm.” [Ahmad]
Allaah Knows best.
