Hope to see more like this in the future
Review by Petrichor on 28 Jun 2020 review stating Hope to see more like this in the future I was really excited to get this as a tester because it's something that doesn't have a whole lot of market coverage - the only similar product I was able to find seemed to be the exact same one but with different branding. While it does have a few flaws, as the first/only option it's a great proof of concept and I'm hoping to see more similar and improved products in the future. Lovehoney's usually great at using feedback from these reviews so I'm hoping it might be taken as a strong hint! The first consideration is sizing, while it is a little stretchy, if you have chunky thighs you might struggle with this. I'm size 12 and mine are 23.5" at their thickest, and 18.5" above the knee. It fits me perfectly without the velcro being direct onto my skin if I have it placed just above the knee. Unfortunately, I was hoping that I would be on the receiving end of this, and it's a bit tight / you have sharp velcro on your leg if you're any bigger. You can turn it the other way out so the straps are on the inside, but it's much harder to tighten. This also impacts if you're wanting to use it on a pillow rather than a thigh - it definitely won't go around a full-size pillow, but I have a 18x13" throw pillow that it fits perfectly. I really like that there are two straps instead of just one, so that you can have it properly fitted to the shape of your thighs. I wish the straps had some fabric over them, because even the back of the velcro is really rough and chafes. Especially from bondage boutique I was really hoping for something closer to the softness and quality of their beginners soft bondage line. The stitching's not the best quality in terms of aesthetics, I have several pulled threads and the inside of the o-ring is cut roughly, but it's strong and stretches with the neoprene so I don't expect it to unravel at all. I'm a little disappointed in the o-ring, it's only one size (with no stretch at all) which really limits what you can do with this. As it is a hole sewn into the harness it doesn't have any backing so you have the base of a dildo straight onto your skin; put a cloth under the harness if you don't like this. I can't swap it out with any of my other o-rings, which means there's only a select few dildos that I can use. My heart pounder fits well, although the base is thick holds the harness away from your skin. The LH curved 7" sillicone isn't much too small, but because it's silky silicone rather than draggy and has a curve, it spins awkwardly and insn't suited. The o-rings I would normally use are stretchy and have a lot more grip so can hold a dildo in place better. Do plan your cleanup - because the dildo goes through the harness itself, there's no poppers-to-release. You'll likely want to take the entire harness and dildo to the bathroom to wash. This also makes it a bit unsuitable for changing what toy you're using mid session without making a mess of the harness, which is a shame because I like to start with something smaller and build up. I would like to use it again despite the problems, but I definitely don't see it getting a whole lot of use. I'm seeing it as more of a prototype and hoping that it gets a lot more attention and larger sizes as it's really helpful for people whose size / disability might make a lot of positions difficult. I'd also recommend it for anyone who has a timing mismatch where penetration doesn't last as long as you would like - it means you can get a lot of the closeness and it's easy to swap between using a toy and your partner. It means I can get a nice spoon with better angles than penetrative sex, hands aren't already occupied with holding a dildo, and I can orgasm without worrying about tightening up too much to have sex after, or that my OH might get there before me!
Pros:
It's a harness, for your thigh!
Bottom Line:
Good if you have small-average thighs.
Cons:
Too small, rough velcro, can't swap O-rings.
