How to Use a Strap-on Harness

Strap-ons are often assumed to be used exclusively during lesbian sex, however with so many different styles, shapes and sizes, a strap-on harness can be used by all kinds of couples. A strap-on harness can truly help you harness your creativity in the bedroom by unlocking all kinds of kinky possibilities.

Strap-On Harness Basics

A “strap-on” often consists of two pieces — a dildo that may or may not vibrate and a harness that is worn around the hips that holds the dildo in place. The device can then be used to penetrate a partner vaginally or anally.

The beauty of a strap-on harness is all of the versatility that it offers. Any person of any gender can wear it, and the adjustable fit of harnesses also fits wearers of all sizes. Standard straps on harnesses, like the majority of harnesses by Lux Fetish, are fully adjustable at the waist and thighs which can be tightened or loosened with ease. Lux Fetish’s Unisex Vibrating Hollow Strap-On Dildo and P-Spot Massager and Hollow Double Penetration Vibrating Strap-On Dildo fits a wide variety of sizes with a stretchy waistband and thigh straps.

The front of the strap-on harness has a flat piece to which the dildo secures at the center. Lux Fetish harnesses firmly grip onto the flared base of a dildo with the use of an o-ring. Once you secure the o-ring to the widest point of the dildo’s flared base, the harness’ four snaps that surround the perimeter of the dildo will secure the o-ring and attach the dildo to the harness.

O-rings come in various sizes, allowing you to attach any dildo to the harness depending on what type of penetration you’re craving. With an o-ring, you can secure any flared base toy to the harness, ranging from suction-cup base dildos to realistic styles with balls such as those from the PEGASUS collection. O-rings can be made out of rubber — making them more flexible to more easily fit onto dildos, as well as metal, which can help them hold a dildo in place more rigidly.

Finding the Right Type of Strap-On Harness

Whether you’re looking for a basic strap-on harness or a style that has more flair, there are different options of harnesses to choose from. These harnesses not only provide the support that you need for comfortable and effective use, but they can also make a fashion statement.

Let’s take a look at some of the different types of strap-on harness styles:


Basic

For the sake of being easy to use and versatile, basic strap-on harness styles are the classic style that we described above. They are anything from basic with fun takes such as the Red Heart Strap-on Harness Set or come in fun colors like the Pretty in Pink Strap-on Harness Set and Faux Leather Strap-on Harness Set.

For those with a penis that would like to explore role-playing fantasies or who may experience erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation may find a hollow strap-on harness useful. The penis can be inserted into the Unisex Vibrating Hollow Strap-On Dildo and P-Spot Massager and Hollow Double Penetration Vibrating Strap-On Dildo to enjoy penetration with a partner.


Pegging

When males enjoy backdoor stimulation from their female partner, this is often known as pegging and it can be intensified with items like the 3-Piece Strap-On Pegging Set with Harness and Realistic Textured Vibrating Anal Dildo from Lux Fetish. This set includes a remote-controlled vibrating dildo and non-vibrating version to explore both sensations.


Remote Control

For a hands-free experience with a strap-on harness, use a remote-controlled version to change the intensity of the vibration with the press of a button. The PEGASUS line offers a selection of remote-controlled vibrating dildos from realistic styles to fun colors.


Strapless

For a different kind of hands-free penetration from a strap-on, a strapless strap-on can be used with both ends of the dildo inserted into each partner. A strapless strap-on is held in place by the wearer’s vagina that gets to enjoy penetration while also penetrating their partner.


Don’t be in a rush to become an expert in using a strap-on because it’ll only lead to frustration. There are so many different varieties of strap-ons and with their different straps and components; it’s easy to get confused. Once you start exploring the different styles of harnesses and all of the thrilling dildos that you can pair with them, you’ll be happy that you took your time to find your perfect fit.
