How to pick the right strap-on harness for yourself

There are straps for many occasions and for many tastes. But how do you find the right strap-on harness for you? You will find out in this article!

First, let's repeat the rule of thumb: if you have to cut back on the budget, do it on the dildo rather than the harness. Regarding the dildo, it is enough that it is made of a safe material, such as silicone. It is also possible to find a good and hygienic dildo at an affordable price. A cheap and rippling strap-on harness, on the other hand, starts to wear out quickly. So it's good to invest in a harness.

Choose the model you like

Strap-on harnesses are available in various models. Common harness models include Jock strap, thong, brief and boxer harnesses.

The jock strap-style harness reveals the rear in a sexy way. It has two thongs on the side of the buttocks. The front has a ring and often some kind of backing plate or fabric. Jock strap fits well if you want a lighter and more revealing harness. The jock strap also has the benefit of leaving the back door open for butt games like butt plugs!

A thong-like harness is, as its name suggests, a thong-like garment with one string running between the buttocks. If you're a fan of thongs, it's a great choice, because your buttocks are exposed sexy.

Brief and boxer-style harnesses are more covering. Because there is a lot of fabric, they often provide good support even for a larger dildo. They can also be packed as is when necessary.

Material to taste

The most common materials are various fabrics, leather and artificial leather.

Leather is a very durable material and many people love its luxurious, unique texture. However, leather is not suitable for vegans. Fortunately, there is a synthetic polyurethane artificial leather that imitates its prototype in appearance admirably. PU leather is lighter and more affordable than genuine leather, but the downside is that it is less durable than leather.

Fabric harnesses are often made of braided, rigid strap and softer fabric parts, similar to a seat belt. Some manufacturers even use a genuine waste belt, just like a seat belt. Recycling to glory!

Additional features bring new dimensions

Do you want the harness to vibrate? Do you miss the possibility of double penetration or adjusting the angle? Is your dildo extra big? Harnesses may have various additional features, such as pockets for bullet vibratos, two separate rings or an adjustable ring. Especially in Jock strap type harnesses, the ring can often be changed according to the size of the dildo. Consider these factors when choosing the right harness for your needs.

Back door open

If you need stimulation during intercourse, it can also be handy that the harness leaves free access to, for example, the anus or vagina. For that purpose, the Jock strap model is usually the best, as the thongs that run from the side of the buttocks do not cover the intimate areas of the wearer. Some Jock strap type harnesses cover the vaginal opening, but not the anus. Some, on the other hand, leave the entire crotch gap within reach.

A strap-on is not always a lumbar dildo

There are also other models of strap-on harnesses than those worn on the hips. Various special harnesses enable imaginative play. Sitting on your face takes on completely new dimensions when you add a strap-on that can be worn on your face! Harnesses are also available in models worn on the thigh, which take grinding and kneeling to their own level. The thigh strap can also be placed, for example, around a rolled up blanket and enjoy solo clips with a suitable sturdy dildo holder.
