How to Choose the Perfect Strap-On
Choosing the perfect strap-on may seem daunting with so many types to choose from. When diving into the world of strap-ons, you'll typically be on the lookout for two essential components: a harness and a dildo. For those new to strap-on play, all-in-one beginner kits offer a convenient and budget-friendly starting point. However, if you're looking to tailor your experience, selecting a harness and dildo individually allows for the perfect pairing based on your unique preferences.
Here is the lowdown on the best strap-ons, so you can find the perfect strap-on dildo for your individual pleasure needs.
Different Types of Strap-On Dildos
There are two main types of strap-on dildos:
- Harness Dildos
- Strapless Strap-ons
Harness Dildos
These are sold separately or together in a kit. Most strap-on dildos are compatible with most harnesses, so you can mix and match your fav flared base dildo with almost any harness. However, there are some strap-on dildos that only work with their own coordinating harness, so keep that in mind when making a purchase.
Pros: Harness dildos are easier to use, especially for beginners. They are more versatile, can be purchased as a kit or separately, and they’re available in a variety of options, suitable for any type of play, body type, or design.
Cons: Not as intuitive as strapless strap-ons.
Strapless Strap-ons
Strapless strap-ons function without a harness. They feature two ends like a double ended dildo—the smaller end inserts inside the wearer’s vagina, whereas the larger end penetrates their partner.
Pros: Strapless strap-ons function like an extension of the user’s body, meaning they “feel” more “natural”. Since they are inserted vaginally, they provide more pleasure to the wearer as well, and many include added vibration.
Cons: They require strong vagina muscles to hold them inside and in order to manipulate them for penetration. So be prepared for a kegel workout! They are less versatile, and have less variety.
Types of Harnessed Strap-ons
There are several types of harness dildos to choose from, depending on your unique style, including:
- Basic Universal Style Harness
- Corset Style Harness
- G-string Style Harness Briefs
- Boxers or Panty Style Jock Strap Harness
- Body-specific Style Harnesses such as Thigh Harness or Chin Strap-on
When choosing a strap-on with a harness, keep in mind your own personal style, body shape, preference as well as the adjustability, and adaptability of the harness. Some body shapes find specific harnesses more comfortable than others.
Here are some more important tips to think about when choosing the best strap-on for you.
Size: Smaller dildos (4” to 5” in length) are best for pegging and anal play, particularly if your partner is new to anal sex. Therefore, choose a size based on who is being penetrated and where. Consider the size of the harness as well, including waist, hip and thigh measurements. Choosing a harness that is too big, will make it cumbersome, and difficult to control. One too tight is going to be uncomfortable and will likely chafe.
Material: Silicone is the best material for anal play since it can be sterilized. Other soft materials are porous, so may still contain bacteria, even after washing. Harnesses also come in a variety of materials. Make sure your harness is washable to remove any lube or body fluids after play. Brief style boxers can be hand-washed, as well as most elastic type straps. Use sex toy wipes for plastic or leather harnesses.
Style: Strap-on dildos come in many styles, like those curved for G-spot and Prostate play, realistic dildos in lifelike styles, double penetration strap-ons to titillate the vagina and anus simultaneously, hollow strap-ons that penis owners can use, vibrating strap-ons for extra stimulation, as well as packing type dildos or packers.
Shopping as a Couple: Find Your Best Strap-On Setup
When shopping for a strap-on with your partner, communication and collaboration are key to finding the perfect combination of harness and dildo. We recommend that sexual partners share the decision-making process to ensure everyone is comfortable with the complete strap-on setup. Here's our advice for couples:
The wearer chooses the harness: This allows the person wearing the strap-on to select a harness that fits comfortably and suits their personal style and gender expression.
The receiver selects the dildo: Giving the receiver control over the size and texture of the dildo ensures their comfort and pleasure during strap-on play. Of course, the person wearing the strap-on may have a preference for the dildo's appearance to align with their gender expression, but the receiver should have the final say regarding size and texture. For those who enjoy versatility and switching roles, we suggest assembling a collection of favorite harnesses and dildos to suit every mood and fantasy.

Strap-On Tips and Techniques for Beginners
Communication is key: Before you dive into strap-on play, have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your desires, boundaries, and any concerns. Make sure both of you are comfortable with the idea and willing to explore.
Choose the right equipment: As a beginner, opt for a comfortable, adjustable harness and a smaller, non-intimidating dildo. A pegging kit designed for beginners can be an excellent choice.
Lube up: Always use a generous amount of water-based lubricant for smoother and more pleasurable penetration. Avoid silicone-based lubes with silicone dildos, as they can damage the toy's material.
Warm-up and relax: Engage in plenty of foreplay to help your partner relax and become aroused. If you're planning on anal play, start with a gentle massage, rimming, or a smaller toy to prepare the area.
Position matters: Experiment with different positions to find the most comfortable and pleasurable one for both of you. Popular positions for strap-on play include doggy style, missionary, and the receiver on top.
Go slow and be gentle: Start slowly and gently with shallow thrusts, allowing your partner to adjust to the sensation. Gradually increase the depth and speed as they become more comfortable.
Check in with your partner: Continuously communicate with your partner during strap-on play to ensure their comfort and enjoyment. Ask for feedback and adjust your technique accordingly.
Practice makes perfect: Don't expect to be a strap-on pro right away! It takes time and practice to become comfortable with the harness, dildo, and various techniques. Keep exploring together and have fun with it!
Clean and store properly: After each use, clean your harness and dildo following the manufacturer's instructions. Store them in a clean, dry place to maintain their quality and ensure they're ready for your next adventure.
Remember, strap-on play should be a fun and pleasurable experience for both partners. Keep an open mind, be patient, and enjoy the journey of discovering new sensations together!
Strap-Ons FAQs
Are strap-ons used by all gender identities and sexual orientations?
Absolutely! Strap-ons are versatile pleasure tools that cater to people of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Whether you're a heterosexual couple looking to spice up your love life with pegging, a same-sex couple seeking new experiences, or a solo adventurer looking to experiment, there's a strap-on out there designed just for you. Remember, pleasure knows no boundaries!
How do I choose the right size and type of dildo for my needs?
Choosing the right size and type of dildo for your strap-on experience is all about knowing your comfort level and personal preferences. For beginners, we recommend starting with a smaller, slimmer dildo to ease into the experience. If you're targeting specific erogenous zones, like the G-spot or P-spot, consider a curved design. Don't forget to factor in the material, as well—silicone is a popular choice for its body-safe and easy-to-clean properties.
Can strap-on play help with erectile dysfunction or other sexual health issues?
Strap-on play can indeed offer a unique solution for individuals experiencing erectile dysfunction or other sexual health challenges. Hollow strap-ons, for example, can be worn by penis owners to maintain penetrative sex despite erection difficulties. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating strap-on play as a solution to any sexual health concerns.
How can I introduce strap-on play into a relationship?
Introducing strap-on play into your relationship requires open communication, trust, and mutual consent. Start by discussing your desires and fantasies with your partner, and be receptive to their feelings and opinions. Remember, consent is key! Once you both agree to explore strap-on play, take it slow and be patient. Choose a comfortable and non-intimidating strap-on, use plenty of lube, and check in with each other throughout the experience.
