Strap-On Dildos & Harnesses

A strap-on dildo is a versatile sex toy that consists of a dildo attached to a harness worn around the hips. The harness ensures that the dildo stays in place during sexual activities. Strap-on dildos are used for a variety of sexual practices, including vaginal penetration, anal play, and role reversal (pegging), where individuals of any gender can engage in giving penetrative sex. To use a strap-on dildo, one partner puts on the harness, adjusts it for comfort and stability, and then inserts the dildo into the harness's O-ring or mounting system. Lubrication is often applied to the dildo for a smoother experience. Communication and consent are key when deciding on the role each partner will play.

Selecting the right size and material depends on personal preference, comfort, and the intended use. For beginners, starting with a smaller, slimmer dildo made of a flexible material like silicone can provide a more comfortable experience. Silicone is body-safe, easy to clean, and compatible with water-based lubricants. If you're experienced or seeking different sensations, you might explore larger sizes or different materials such as glass or metal, which are also body-safe but offer a firmer feel. Consider the dildo's texture, shape, and flexibility. Remember, communication with your partner about preferences and comfort levels is crucial when selecting the size and material.

Yes, strap-on dildos can be used for anal play. They are popularly used by couples of any gender combination for anal penetration. When using a strap-on dildo for anal play, choosing a size and shape that is comfortable for the receiving partner is important. Use plenty of water-based or silicone-based lubricant to ensure a smooth experience, as the anus does not naturally lubricate. Start slowly and communicate throughout the process to ensure comfort and safety. It's also important to choose dildos with a flared base or those specifically designed for anal play to prevent the toy from going too deep.

Strap-on dildos are suitable for beginners, but choosing the right type and starting slowly is important. Beginners should consider a strap-on dildo set that includes an adjustable harness and a smaller, flexible dildo. These sets can offer a comfortable introduction to strap-on play. Beginners might also look for dildos made from materials that are easy to clean and maintain, such as silicone. It's important to communicate openly with your partner, start with gentle penetration, and use plenty of lubricant to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Communicating with your partner about trying a strap-on dildo involves openness, honesty, and sensitivity. Start the conversation in a non-sexual setting, where both partners feel comfortable and relaxed. Express your desires, curiosities, and any concerns you might have. Listen to your partner's thoughts and feelings without judgment. Discuss boundaries, safe words, and consent. Highlight the mutual benefits of exploring new sexual experiences together. Providing educational resources or sharing articles about strap-on play can help normalize the conversation and make both partners feel more informed and comfortable with the idea.

There are several types of harnesses available for strap-on dildos, each offering different features and benefits:

1. Jockstrap-style Harnesses: These have straps that run under the buttocks, providing stability and access for the wearer, making them popular for their comfort and support.
2. Briefs and Panties-style Harnesses: These resemble regular underwear and are often made of soft materials for comfort. They're easy to put on and are suitable for spontaneous use but may offer less adjustability.
3. G-String or Thong-style Harnesses: These have a single strap around the waist and another that runs between the buttocks. They are minimalistic and can be sexy, but might offer less stability for heavier dildos.
4. Corset-style Harnesses: These are designed for aesthetics and function, offering back support and waist cinching for a more flattering appearance, in addition to being used for strap-on play.
5. Universal Harnesses: Designed to fit a wide range of body types and dildos, these harnesses are highly adjustable and can accommodate many different sizes and shapes of dildos thanks to interchangeable O-rings.

Finding the right fit involves several steps:

1. Measure Yourself: Measure your waist and hips where the harness will sit. Many harnesses come in various sizes, and knowing your measurements will help you choose the right one.
2. Adjustability: Look for harnesses with adjustable straps to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. The ability to adjust the tightness and positioning can greatly enhance comfort and control.
3. Material: Consider the material of the harness for comfort and ease of cleaning. Leather can offer durability and support, while fabric harnesses might offer more comfort and are easier to wash.
4. Try It On: If possible, try on the harness before purchasing or use online retailers with return policies. Adjust it to see how it feels walking around, sitting, and moving in various positions.

Yes, many harnesses are designed to be compatible with different dildos. This compatibility is often achieved through the use of interchangeable O-rings, which can be swapped out to fit dildos of various diameters. Ensure the dildo has a flared base to secure it in place. Some harnesses also feature adjustable pouches or straps that can accommodate different sizes and shapes of dildos.

Cleaning and caring for your strap-on harness depend on its material:

• Leather Harnesses: Wipe down with a damp cloth and use a leather cleaner or conditioner as recommended. Do not soak leather in water.
• Synthetic Materials (Nylon, Neoprene, etc.): These can often be machine washed in cold water with mild detergent, then air-dried. Check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper care.
• Silicone and Rubber Components: Can be washed with soap and water. Silicone parts can also be boiled for sterilization if detachable.

Always follow the manufacturer's care instructions, and allow the harness to dry completely before storing to prevent mold or mildew.

Yes, there are harnesses specifically designed for extended wear, focusing on comfort and stability:

• Materials: Look for harnesses made from soft, breathable materials that minimize chafing, such as cotton or soft synthetic blends.
• Design: Harnesses that distribute weight evenly, like those with wider straps or padded areas, can increase comfort during prolonged use.
• Adjustability: Harnesses with extensive adjustability allow for a better fit, reducing discomfort and pressure points.
• Underwear-style Harnesses: These are particularly suited for long-term wear, as they mimic regular underwear and can be comfortably worn under clothing.

When choosing a harness for extended wear, consider how it fits your body type and personal comfort preferences, as well as how easily you can adjust it for the best possible fit.

Vibrating strap-on dildos incorporate a vibrating mechanism within the dildo itself or have a bullet vibrator that can be inserted into a cavity in the dildo. These vibrations can provide additional stimulation to both the wearer and the receiver. The vibration is typically powered by a battery or a rechargeable unit inside the dildo, and it can be activated and controlled using a switch or remote control attached to the dildo or the harness.

Yes, many vibrating strap-on dildos offer adjustable vibration speeds and patterns. This adjustability allows users to customize their experience by changing the intensity and type of vibration to suit their preferences. Controls can be manual, via buttons on the dildo or remote control, or even wireless, through apps on smartphones for more advanced models, providing a range of options from steady vibrations to pulsating patterns.

Vibrating strap-on dildos can be both rechargeable and battery-operated. Rechargeable models are powered by built-in batteries that can be recharged using a USB cable or a charger, offering convenience and cost savings on batteries over time. Battery-operated models require the periodic replacement of batteries. Rechargeable dildos are becoming more popular due to their convenience and eco-friendly aspect, but battery-operated models are still widely available and may be preferred by some for their ease of use.

Caring for a vibrating strap-on dildo involves several key steps to ensure hygiene and longevity:

• Cleaning: After each use, clean the dildo with warm water and mild soap, or use a sex toy cleaner designed for safe use with your dildo's material. Avoid submerging battery-operated vibrators unless they are explicitly labeled as waterproof.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry the dildo with a clean, soft towel or let it air dry before storing.
• Storage: Store the dildo in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, use a storage bag to keep it dust-free and to avoid contact with other materials that might cause damage.
• Battery Care: For battery-operated models, remove the batteries before storing to prevent corrosion and damage. For rechargeable models, follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding charging cycles and storage to maximize battery life.

Many vibrating dildos are designed to be waterproof or water-resistant, making them safe for use in the shower or bath. However, it's crucial to check the manufacturer's specifications before using your dildo in water. Waterproof models are sealed to prevent water from entering the battery compartment or charging port, while water-resistant models may only tolerate limited exposure to water. Always follow the care instructions to ensure the safety and durability of your sex toy.

Hollow strap-on dildos are designed with an internal cavity, allowing them to be worn over an existing penis rather than being used purely as a solid dildo. They are typically paired with a strap-on harness and are often used to enhance size, firmness, or stamina while maintaining a more natural, body-connected experience.

These strap-on dildos are commonly used by people who want to add length or girth, maintain penetration when experiencing erectile difficulties, or enjoy strap-on play while still feeling physically involved. Some hollow designs also help support erections by providing structure and stability during use.

Hollow strap-on dildos are ideal for:

• Couples where one partner wants to enhance or extend penetration without switching to a fully solid dildo
  
• People experiencing erectile dysfunction or reduced firmness who still want penetrative play
  
• Those who enjoy strap-on play but prefer a more body-led, natural sensation
  
• Users looking for a confidence-boosting option that combines a harness with their own anatomy
  

They are available in different internal diameters, lengths, and materials, so choosing the right size and fit is important for comfort. Using plenty of lubricant and ensuring a secure harness fit will help improve stability and enjoyment.

Choosing the right size for a hollow strap-on dildo is mainly about comfort, fit, and confidence, both for the wearer and their partner. Because hollow strap-ons are worn over the body, sizing matters more than with solid dildos.

Start by considering the internal diameter. This needs to comfortably fit the wearer without being too tight or too loose. A snug but comfortable fit helps improve stability, sensation, and control during use. If the internal cavity is too small, it may feel restrictive; if it’s too large, the dildo may slip or feel unstable.

Next, think about the external length and girth. If you’re new to hollow strap-ons, choosing a moderate size can make positioning and movement easier. More experienced users may prefer larger options for increased presence, but comfort should always come first—especially for longer sessions.

Other important factors include:

• Material flexibility: Softer materials tend to be more forgiving and comfortable, especially for beginners
  
• Harness compatibility: Ensure the base size works with your harness and provides good support
  
• Weight and balance: Lighter designs are often easier to control and less tiring to wear
  

Using plenty of water-based lubricant and ensuring the harness is properly adjusted will also improve fit and comfort. If you’re unsure, starting slightly smaller and sizing up later is usually the most comfortable approach.

Yes — hollow strap-on dildos can be very comfortable for the wearer, provided the correct size, material, and harness setup are chosen.

Comfort mainly depends on fit and flexibility. A well-sized hollow dildo should fit snugly without squeezing or restricting circulation. Sofer, flexible materials tend to move naturally with the body, reducing pressure and improving comfort during thrusting or longer sessions.

Key factors that affect comfort include:

• Internal fit: A cavity that’s too tight can feel restrictive, while one that’s too loose may cause slipping or instability
  
• Material: Flexible, body-safe materials are generally more comfortable than very rigid designs
  
• Harness support: A properly adjusted harness helps distribute weight evenly and prevents strain on the wearer
  
• Length and weight: Shorter or lighter hollow dildos are often easier to wear for extended periods
  

Using plenty of water-based lubricant and taking time to adjust the harness correctly can make a significant difference. Many wearers find that comfort improves with practice as they learn the most supportive positioning and fit for their body.

If discomfort occurs, switching to a softer material, adjusting sizing, or changing harness style usually resolves the issue.

Yes, hollow strap-on dildos can be used with an erection, but suitability depends on the internal cavity size, material flexibility, and overall design of the dildo.

Some hollow strap-on dildos are designed to accommodate a semi-erect or fully erect penis, allowing the wearer to insert their penis into the hollow chamber for added connection and sensation. These designs typically have a wider, softer internal sleeve to reduce pressure and discomfort.

However, not all hollow strap-on dildos are intended for use with a full erection. Tighter or more rigid hollow designs may feel restrictive and are better suited to partial erections or non-erect use.

For comfortable use with an erection:

• Choose a soft, flexible material (such as silicone or soft PVC)
  
• Look for a generous internal cavity diameter
  
• Avoid rigid or narrow hollow shells
  
• Ensure the harness provides good support to prevent pressure buildup
  

Many users with erections prefer hollow strap-on dildos that focus on external harness support, rather than relying on internal fit alone, as this allows for more comfort and control during play.

Yes — hollow strap-on dildos can be used by people with erectile dysfunction (ED) and are often a popular, confidence-boosting option.

Hollow strap-on dildos are designed to work with external harness support, meaning penetration does not rely on maintaining an erection. The harness holds the dildo securely in place, allowing the wearer to provide penetration regardless of erectile firmness.

For people with ED:

• The hollow chamber can accommodate a flaccid or partially erect penis
  
• Some users choose to leave the chamber empty and focus on external control
  
• Softer, wider hollow designs are typically more comfortable
  
• The experience can reduce pressure around performance and allow focus on pleasure and connection
  

Many couples find hollow strap-on dildos helpful because they:

• Enable penetrative play without performance anxiety
  
• Support intimacy even when erections are inconsistent
  
• Allow pleasure, confidence, and control to return to the experience
  

If stimulation for the wearer is important, some hollow strap-ons can be paired with:

• Vibrating bullets
  
• Textured internal sleeves
  
• External stimulation during use
  

Choosing a flexible material, generous internal cavity, and a supportive harness will provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for users with erectile dysfunction.

Cleaning a hollow strap-on dildo properly is essential because the internal cavity can trap moisture, lubricant, or bodily fluids if not cleaned thoroughly.

After each use, remove the dildo from the harness (if detachable) and rinse the outside and inside cavity with warm water. Use a mild, unscented soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner, ensuring the cleaner reaches fully inside the hollow chamber. Gently work the water through the cavity to flush out any residue.

Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap or cleaner, as leftover residue can cause irritation or material damage over time.

To dry, shake out excess water and allow the dildo to air dry completely, ideally standing upright or angled so the internal cavity can drain. For deeper cavities, a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel can be carefully inserted to absorb remaining moisture. Avoid sealing or storing the toy while damp, as trapped moisture can lead to odor or bacterial growth.

For ongoing hygiene:

• Clean the dildo before and after every use
  
• Allow it to dry fully before storage
  
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from other toys
  
• Use a condom inside the hollow cavity for easier cleaning and added hygiene (especially recommended)
  

Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, particularly if the dildo is made from PVC, silicone, or contains any bonded seams.

Double penetration strap-on dildos are designed to allow one person to penetrate their partner with two dildos simultaneously. These sex toys typically consist of a harness equipped with two dildos or a single unit with two protruding dildos at different angles or positions. One dildo is meant for vaginal penetration, while the other is designed for anal penetration, providing a dual sensation. The harness ensures that the dildos stay in place during use, allowing for hands-free operation and a more immersive experience for both partners.

Yes, double penetration strap-on dildos can be used solo. Individuals can wear the harness and dildos to explore double penetration on their own, using the dildos to penetrate themselves both vaginally and anally. This solo use allows for personal exploration of dual sensations and can be a valuable experience for understanding one’s preferences and comfort levels. Some models are also designed with features that stimulate the wearer, such as vibrations or textured surfaces against the clitoris or perineum.

Choosing a comfortable double penetration strap-on dildo involves several factors:

• Material: Look for dildos made from body-safe, comfortable materials like silicone, which is soft yet firm, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean.
• Size: Start with dildos that are not too large or intimidating, especially if you or your partner are new to double penetration. The dildos should be proportionate to what you find comfortable for both vaginal and anal penetration.
• Harness Fit: Ensure the harness is adjustable and fits well. A comfortable harness will hold the dildos securely in place without causing chafing or discomfort to the wearer.
• User-Friendly Design: Opt for designs with intuitive adjustments and easy-to-use features, particularly if you plan to switch positions or adjust the setup during use.

Yes, there are different sizes available for double penetration strap-on dildos. Manufacturers offer a range of sizes to accommodate different preferences and experience levels. Sizes vary in terms of length, girth, and the distance between the two dildos. Some models are designed with more flexibility to adjust the spacing or angle between the dildos, catering to different body types and comfort levels.

Cleaning and maintaining a double penetration strap-on dildo requires careful attention to both the harness and the dildos:

• Dildos: If the dildos are detachable and made of non-porous materials like silicone, glass, or metal, wash them with warm water and mild soap or a sex toy cleaner. Silicone dildos can also be boiled for sterilization if they do not contain electronic components.
• Harness: If the harness is made of a washable material like leather, neoprene, or fabric, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. Leather harnesses may require special leather cleaners and conditioners, while fabric harnesses can often be machine washed on a gentle cycle.
• Drying: Thoroughly dry both the dildos and the harness before storing them to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
• Storage: Store the dildos and harness in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Keeping sex toys in individual storage bags can prevent material degradation and ensure hygiene.

Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will extend the life of your double penetration strap-on dildo and ensure it remains safe and pleasurable to use.

A strapless strap-on dildo is a type of sex toy designed for partner play without the need for a harness. It typically features a bulbous end that the wearer inserts vaginally, which stays in place through muscular control, and a longer dildo that extends outward for penetrating a partner. The bulbous end often has a shape that is designed to stimulate the wearer's G-spot or prostate, depending on their anatomy, while the other end is used for penetration. The toy stays in place through the pelvic muscles' grip on the inserted portion, combined with the toy's ergonomic design that aligns with the body's natural curves.

Yes, strapless strap-on dildos can be used by people of all genders. For those with a vagina, the bulbous end is inserted vaginally. For individuals without a vagina, such as men wanting to engage in pegging play, the use of a strapless strap-on might require a bit more creativity, such as holding the bulbous end against the body with a tight pair of underwear or a specialized harness designed for strapless strap-ons. The flexibility and design of these toys make them a versatile option for couples of any gender combination looking to explore penetrative sex with a strap-on without a harness.

The toy stays in place through the pelvic muscles' grip on the inserted portion, combined with the toy's ergonomic design that aligns with the body's natural curves.

Choosing the right size for a strapless strap-on dildo involves considering both the wearer's and the receiver's comfort and experience levels. For the wearer, the bulbous end should be a comfortable size to insert and hold in place; too large may be uncomfortable, and too small may not offer enough grip for stability. For the receiver, consider the length and girth they are comfortable with, similar to choosing any other dildo. Beginners may want to start with a smaller, slimmer model to ensure comfort for both parties, while more experienced users may opt for larger sizes for increased sensation.

Strapless strap-on dildos can be suitable for beginners, but they may require a bit of practice to use effectively. The wearer needs to have some degree of pelvic floor strength to keep the dildo in place during use, which can be challenging for some. Beginners might find it helpful to start with shorter, lighter models to make it easier to maintain control. Additionally, experimenting with positioning and using the toy solo can help users gain confidence and understand how to best leverage their pelvic muscles for stability. Some couples may also choose to use a harness initially to add support until they become more comfortable with the toy.

• Choose the right size that’s comfortable for the receiver, especially if you or your partner are beginners.
• Maintain cleanliness by washing the dildo and harness before and after each use according to the manufacturer's instructions.

If using a strap-on dildo causes discomfort:

• Stop immediately to prevent any potential injury.
• Communicate with your partner about what you’re feeling and discuss adjusting the angle, depth, or pace of penetration.
• Use more lubricant as insufficient lubrication is a common cause of discomfort.
• Switch positions to find one that may be more comfortable for both partners.
• Consider using a different size or shape of dildo that may be more suitable and comfortable for the receiver.

Yes, certain materials used in sex toys, including strap-on dildos, should be avoided for health reasons:

• Phthalates: Used to soften PVC, these chemicals can leach out over time and may pose health risks.
• Latex: Some individuals are allergic to latex. If you or your partner have a latex allergy, look for latex-free options.
• Porous materials such as jelly rubber, which can harbor bacteria and are difficult to clean thoroughly.
  Opt for dildos made from non-porous, body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone, glass, or stainless steel, which are easier to clean and safer for body contact.

To store your strap-on dildo and harness properly and ensure they stay in good condition:

• Clean and dry them thoroughly after each use before storing to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade some materials over time.
• Use separate storage bags for each piece to prevent materials from touching and reacting with each other, especially important for silicone toys.
• Avoid crushing or bending the dildos, especially those made of softer materials, to maintain their shape and integrity.
• For leather harnesses, consider treating with a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material from drying out or cracking.

Following these storage guidelines will help extend the lifespan of your strap-on dildo and harness, ensuring they remain safe and enjoyable to use.

Leather harnesses:

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use
  
• Use a leather-safe cleaner if needed
  
• Apply leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking
  
• Never soak leather in water or machine wash
  

Synthetic or rubberised components:

• Clean with warm water and mild soap
  
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry
  

O-rings and metal parts:

• Wash separately with warm water and soap
  
• Dry completely to prevent corrosion
  

Storage tips:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
  
• Make sure the harness is fully dry before storing to prevent odour or mildew
  
• Avoid folding or crushing straps for long periods to maintain shape
  

Proper care will extend the life of your harness and ensure it remains safe, comfortable, and ready to use whenever you are.

It depends on the material of the toy and whether it contains electronics. Always check the manufacturer’s guidance first, but the rules below cover most sex toys safely.

Toys that CAN be boiled (if they contain NO electronics):

• 100% silicone toys
  
• Glass toys
  
• Stainless steel toys
  

How to boil safely:

• Place the toy in boiling water for 3–5 minutes
  
• Ensure the toy is fully submerged
  
• Allow it to cool completely before use
  
• Do not boil toys with suction cups if the base contains air pockets unless stated safe
  

Boiling helps sanitise non-porous toys but is not required for everyday cleaning.

Toys that should NOT be boiled:

• PVC, TPE, TPR, jelly, or soft plastic toys
  
• Toys with hollow chambers or internal squeeze bulbs
  
• Toys with seams, glued parts, or air cavities
  
• Any toy containing electronics
  

Boiling these can cause warping, damage, or material breakdown.

Submerging toys in water:

• Waterproof toys can be safely submerged for cleaning or bath/shower play
  
• Water-resistant toys should only be wiped clean — do not submerge
  
• Non-waterproof toys should never be submerged
  

If unsure, treat the toy as not waterproof and clean with a damp cloth and toy cleaner.

Best practice for most toys:

• Wash with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner
  
• Rinse thoroughly
  
• Air dry fully before storage
  

When in doubt, don’t boil or submerge — gentle cleaning is always safer than damaging the toy.

Proper storage helps keep your strap-on dildos and harnesses clean, hygienic, and in good condition between uses.

Before storing:

• Always clean toys and harnesses after use
  
• Ensure everything is completely dry to prevent bacteria or mould
  
• Remove batteries from any battery-operated toys
  

Storing strap-on dildos:

• Store dildos separately from other toys, especially silicone ones, to prevent material reactions
  
• Use individual storage bags or pouches (cloth or breathable fabric is best)
  
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat
  
• Avoid airtight containers unless the toy is fully dry
  

Storing hollow strap-on dildos:

• Make sure the inside is fully dry — moisture inside can cause odour or mould
  
• Leave the opening slightly exposed to airflow if possible
  
• Store upright or loosely wrapped to avoid trapping moisture
  

Storing vibrating or electronic dildos:

• Keep charging cables separate
  
• Store away from moisture and extreme temperatures
  
• Do not store while charging
  

Storing harnesses:

• Fabric or synthetic harnesses should be fully dry and folded neatly
  
• Leather harnesses should be stored flat or hung to avoid creasing
  
• Keep leather away from humidity and apply leather conditioner occasionally
  

General tips:

• Never store toys touching each other directly
  
• Avoid plastic bags for long-term storage
  
• Label storage bags if you own multiple toys
  

Proper storage keeps your toys safe, discreet, and ready to use whenever you are.
