View all Strap Ons

Many people are under the wrong impression that strap ons are uniquely the territory of the lesbian community. But, in fact, people of all genders (and orientations) can use them. For instance, pegging (an activity where a woman uses a strap on to have anal sex with a man) has recently gained a lot of traction. Straight men also use strap ons with their female partners for double penetrative sex while bisexuals, gay men and genderqueer folks find manifold uses for harnessed dildos.

If you are a first-time strap on user, this guide will help you find the right dildo and harness for yourself.

Strap-on dildo harness kit.

What is it?

Strapons are a two-piece sex toy that includes a dildo, which is generally a non-vibrating toy shaped like a penis. However, vibrators are also used today. The dildo is held in place by a harness. The harness attaches to the hips of the person wearing the strap on.

Strap ons are used for vaginal or anal penetrative sex. It can be worn by both men and women. They’re considered to be fantastic sex toys for couples and allows penetrative sex while keeping the hands free.

Today, when someone asks for a strap on, they’re typically referring to a strap on harness that gives the wearer control and comfort. Most of the time, the dildos can be switched in and out of a harness, which means that you can experiment with a wide range of toys.

Types of Strap Ons

Essentially, there are 2 principles types of strap ons:

  1. Those that require harnesses or straps;
  2. Those that do not.

Each has its respective advantages and disadvantages.

Harnessed Strap Ons

As you might have guessed, harnessed strap ons involve 2 components – a dildo and a harness. Harnesses are available in different materials and styles, such as:

Unisex Strap-On Dildo Box.
  • Three strap or jock – This is a type of harness that loops around each leg and the waist for a comfortable fit. It offers the wearer great control. Three straps also mean greater personalization of fit. This is a popular style because it leaves the wearer exposed to other types of stimulation.
  • Two strap or G-string – This harness type offers a reasonable amount of control and fits with one loop between the legs and around the waist. While the G-string harness does not leave the wearer exposed, some enjoy the anal and vaginal stimulation the middle strap provides during movement.
  • Corset – This harness type provides additional support and cinches together at the sides.
  • Lingerie or underwear – Some people consider this type as the best strap on harness and this variety has recently become quite popular. It is designed to fit like a pair of regular underwear and is made available in a host of varieties, ranging from boxer-brief styles to more feminine styles. As these are strap-free, they do not offer much support and are also less suited to host heavier toys.
Choose Strap On

There are also a variety of other harnesses available, which include thigh harnesses and also harness masks for couples who are looking to get more creative. There are some harnesses that come with built-in internal dildos or butt plugs to offer the wearer additional genital stimulation.

Strapless Strap Ons

Strapless strapon is relatively new on the scene. Typically, strapless strap ons offer the wearer a bulb to grasp the dildo internally, instead of securing it by straps. The elimination of harness makes sex feel closer with a partner and the double-headed nature of these sex toys provide both partners pleasurable stimulation with every thrust. There are some strapless strap ons that are designed with slots so that a bullet vibrator can be inserted.

The potential downside of these sex toys is that they can be quite weighty, and hence, it poses a challenge for even the most seasoned kegel black belt to hold in. Fortunately, the problem can be surmounted in different ways:

  1. Certain positions like, cowgirl, lazy doggy and spooning are better suited to hold the strapless strap on in.
  2. Opting for these toys with the additional support of a harness.

Dildo Types to Attach to the Strap On

  • Solid dildo – This is used by females only. If you are looking for a strap on dildo for female-to-male or female-to-female play, this is the one.
  • Hollow – This is a strapon for men who would like to experience what it feels like to have sex with a thicker and longer penis. The hollow dildo option is essentially like a prosthetic penis and can be worn over a semi-erect or flaccid penis.
  • Double and triple dong – A double dong attached to a harness is specifically designed to give the wearer more control during thrusts. This is designed for the females to wear and it comes with a small dildo on the interior of the harness that penetrates the vagina while she is thrusting the dildo on the outside into her partner. This also known as a double ended strap on and designed to offer dual pleasures. This toy usually comes in the strapless option, but they’re also harness compatible. A triple dong, on the other hand, is a double dong with a third one facing backward. This helps in stimulating both the anus and the vagina at once.

Other strap on dildo varieties include:

  • Textured dildos;
  • Vibrating strap on (standard strap on dildos that vibrate or some manufacturers use dildo vibrators);
  • Probed dildos;
  • Rotating strap ons;
  • Realistic strap on penis.

Strap On Attachment Systems

There are strapon for men and women that come with affixed dildos. Even though this is a good all-in-one option, it does not leave any room for variety. You cannot swap the dildo if you fix the dildo to be too big or small. Getting separate pieces will make sure that you have options. This is why there are strap ons that come with different attachment systems within the harness. The popular ones are discussed below.

  • O-ring – This is the little round ring found in front of a harness strap on. Some O-rings are sewn onto the harness while others are detachable. Detachable O-rings can be found in different sizes and you can get on corresponding the size of your dildo.
  • Vac-U-Lock – This is a patented system by Doc Johnson and specifically made for easily and quickly swapping dildos while using the same harness. This is ideal for those who like to mix it up with different shapes and sizes. The patented plug acts like a vacuum that helps to seal the strap on device in its place.

Compounds/Materials Consideration

Dildo Compound

  • Silicone – When it comes to dildos, silicone is a very versatile material. It can be flexible or firm. They’re odorless, body-safe, latex, non-porous, hypoallergenic and known to last for many uses.
  • Rubber – Rubber is quite a popular choice for strap on dildos because they’re realistic and flexible. They are marketed in a wide range of colors. But, it is a porous material and you need to make sure to wash it before and after every use.
  • Composites – Composites refer to materials that are a combination of a few types. For instance, it can be a silicone shaft with a plump PVC tip or ABS plastic core with a silicone coating.
  • TPE – Thermoplastic elastomer offers a good amount of durability and flexibility. This material is free of latex and perfect for those with sensitive skin.

Harness Material

  • Fabric – This is a hygienic option as it can be washed easily. Generally, the straps are made from nylon webbing and the yolk may have a soft padding, fur yolk or fun velvet. This type of harness can be taken in the hot tub or pool.
  • Leather – A leather harness feels luxurious and looks sexy. It fits snugly and can last for years. With time, it is going to soften and mold to the shape of the wearer. Leather harnesses have to be hand-washed.
  • Vinyl – Vinyl may look glossy and shiny or it might have a matte appearance. If you look after vinyl harness properly, it can last you a long time. Harnesses made from vinyl are flexible and offer a wide range of movement. Also, they’re waterproof.

How to Use a Strap On?

The first step is to get comfortable with your strap on kit. Wearing a harness and dildo may feel weird at first. So, take your time and let your body bond with your gear.

Next, when you decide to use it with your partner, start slow. To use the strap on for penetration, make use of a ridiculous amount of lube. If your dildo is made from silicone, use a water-based lube. Also, if your partner is a newbie, it is recommended to start with a small dildo or vibrator.

So, add a strap on to your sex toy arsenal because jerking off is not just for the boys.

Why Trust Us?

So many sources galivant the internet carrying their different opinions of what types of strap-ons are the best. Why should you take our recommendations? Why do our opinions matter so much? How can you trust our selections? We believe you should regard our list of the best strap-ons because our sex experts and sex toy testers take their time to examine each of these strap-ons until they can be categorized as a great his and hers strapon. In that case, what tests were conducted? The following are the tests that our sex experts conducted on each strapon:

  • Safety Test: The first thing our sex experts did was to test and see how safe the strap and the dildo is. Plus, this has a lot to do with the material used to make the harness and the dildo. Allergens are tested to give users like you a heads up in the case of skin sensitivity to any material or property. Our sex experts and sex toy testers also made sure to confirm the absence of phthalates because it is the leading cause of many skin inflammation cases and infections that are being contracted today in the US and the world at large.
  • Confirmation Test: Secondly, our sex experts made sure to test each of the strap-on dildos to validate the alleged features mentioned with each product. Many brands fall short of this test. By trying to attract users and buyers, some of the best strapon that indicates the inclusion of a double penetrative dildo are nothing but lies. Therefore, our sex experts and sex toy testers took it upon themselves to not only select these toys based on their appeal. Each strap-on for him and her was tested for days to ensure that a waterproof strap-on for her stays waterproof, and a vibrator strap-on truly has a vibrator.

Strap Ons and Other Sex Toys

Strap-ons are the only sex toy components that allow you to attach break the laws of nature and attach a dildo to your pelvis when you originally don't have one. Though a suction cup dildo gives you the chance to have sex by yourself using the wall or the ground as a prop, strapons are for him and her kind of sex. In this case, the ‘him’ and ‘her’ do not necessarily refer to a man, and a woman. The best strap for him and her are widely adopted by homo- and heterosexual beings. Nonetheless, even the best strap-on has a limitation - it can only be used by couples. Having a dildo strapped onto yourself for a me-time might not be the best idea. So if you are more excited about your private time, you can other sex toys. The suction cup dildo is a great alternative.

How To Choose the Best Strap On

  • Pick the type of strap that appeals most to you. While basing your decision on appeal, put into consideration your experience level as well. If you have a good experience with strapons then you can think of going strapless. But if this is your first time, you need your strap-on to be a little bit more secure - so choose a harness.
  • Your Gender also decides for you sometimes. For instance, if you have a penis, you might not be able to use all types of strap-on dildos. The hollow dildo type would be best for you since it allows you to insert your penis seamlessly.
  • Consider your Quirks. What have you always fantasized about? What is that one thing you have always wanted to try? Even if you believe you have it all, there is most certainly one extra feature you are yet to try. With the best strap-on for him and her, you are bound to have a variety of options. You can go from huge dildo sizes to more medium and average girths. There are also realistic textured strap-on dildos and very colorful ones. In the same way, you can decide on the king of harness you want - the ones that look like undies or the ones that give a leather BDSM vibe.
  • Detachable or Non-detachable strap-ons are also things to think about. While some dildos are sewn into the harness, some are detachable and allow you to swap between different dildo styles and shapes depending on your and your partner’s current desires. The section about strap-on attachment systems explains this better but if you were faced with an option between the two, here is what you need to know. Choose the detachable if you have a lot of other strap-on dildos to swap with. But if you cannot allow for dangling attachments, pick the sewn-in designs.

Pros and Cons of Strap Ons

Oh, my goodness! There is absolutely everything to admire about the strap on. It’s the most convenient sex toy to use together with a partner. I prefer to use the strapless strapon, and that’s because it provides me a wildly sensational experience every single time, no exception!

There are four different styles of the strap on available on the market. I would like to ask which of them provides the best experience?

Hi Anthony. The question of providing the best experience largely depends on which is more convenient for you. The most common strap on sex toys are the three-strap and the two-strap. However, the underwear strap on style is already gaining some popularity. Just make sure to look through user reviews before making your purchase.

I started exploring the strap on as a newbie, so I was looking to go for a beginner strap on. I intended to start from small strap ons, but then I came across the Deluxe strap-on harness kit on here. I was delighted to find the combination of both the beginner dildo and advanced dildo in one single product. The decision to make the purchase has proven to be very rewarding for me. Now, I use the advanced dildo very conveniently. The harness is also fully adjustable, giving me so much room for flexibility. This is an intriguing sex accessory. I am overjoyed to own one.

Frankly, I am deeply intrigued by all the good reviews for this sex accessory. I have heard a mouthful from my friends about them owning the best strap on, and my partner also goes on and on about purchasing the strap on for women. Yet, I am still highly skeptical of all these adulations. It’s quite rare to find any sex toy that lives up to the hype these days.

Hey Tabitha, I started out being quite cynical about sex toy reviews also. But I recently made a purchase for a vibrating strap on, and it was worth every dime! I don’t suppose that you have anything to fear once you have the right size and material.

What is better than a strap on sex toy? A double-ended strap on sex toy! And that is the one I went for. Oh Lord! It does wonders to me, and more wonders to my partner – at the same time! The double duty vibrating double-ended strap-on dildo is the eighth wonder of the world. The speeds and patterns are staggering, and it has a wired controller that makes the experience a very exciting one.

I always had the impression that the strap on was only suitable for lesbian women. But now, I know better. Guess who’s getting ready to place an order for the hollow strap on lol. I would really appreciate more articles like this one from y’all.

I would need some clarity; between the O-ring and the Vac-U-Lock by Doc Johnson, which is the most preferable method of attachment?

Hello Kyleigh, this depends on your usual sex practice. If you are used to changing dildos while the act is in full swing, then the Vac-U-Lock is best for you. However, if you are more conservative with the amount of dildo swapping you do, then you can just go with the O-ring.
