I selected the Sportsheets New Comers Strap-On Set as the Test Winner today because it’s a great all-rounder. As a sex toy expert, I know how great of an investment it is to find a product that can grow with you as you get more experienced with sex toys. This set is unintimidating enough to be beginner-friendly and it is easy to adjust. But the dildo also has enough of a curve to it that I think it will be great for g-spot or prostate massage that will satisfy more experienced users. Our tester, Catherine, also found that the harness is made to be worn by people of all sizes. “There is a lot of room in the straps” and she mentioned how it’s “very simple to step into the harness and tighten the adjustable straps until it’s comfortable on you”. Catherine and her partner were also both “pleasantly surprised to find that the tightness of the straps stayed in place even with a lot of activity”. Still, they were easy to loosen again! The biggest con is that tightening the straps stretches the o-ring a bit. This does make it more likely for the dildo to fall out of the harness: “It didn’t happen enough to annoy us, but it definitely had to be something we were aware of while we were using it.”

I love that the Bend Over Beginner Strap-On Kit comes with everything you need to get started with strap-on sex and more! It’s so great that it comes with two different sized dildos so the kit can grow with you. Or you have one to use anally and one vaginally! Christina reviewed it for us and agrees that “this is a great beginner strap-on kit for anal or vaginal insertion.” She liked that the “reasonably-sized and über-smooth dildos” were unintimidating but still satisfying for her partner. She also appreciated that the harness “fits quite a range of hip sizes and allows control without coming loose.” However, she did wish the some of the straps were a little softer around the edges, although it didn’t rub at all during use. Even though they thought that the vibrator didn’t look the highest quality, they were pleasantly surprised that it had “a decently strong buzz.”  I think the versatility of this kit is where it really shines, giving strap-on newbies plenty to explore!

3 Budget-Friendly

ROMP Piccolo Pegging Kit

 ROMP Piccolo

ROMP Piccolo

  • Strap-on set with super small and slim silicone dildo
  • Both the harness and the dildo itself have a small pocket that fits a bullet vibrator
  • Adjustable harness that fit up to 55.1 inches around the waist and up to 31.5 inches around each leg.

  • Both the wearer and receiver can enjoy targeted vibrations
  • Harness is easy to adjust
  • Size inclusive

  • O-ring is almost too big for the dildo
  • Bullet vibrators not included

Colors AvailableMulticolor

The ROMP Piccolo Pegging Kit is my top recommendation for an affordable strap-on. It’s a full kit with a good quality silicone dildo and a fully adjustable harness. While there aren’t any bullet vibrators included, there is a pocket for one in both the harness and the dildo. Our tester, Cassie, loved that this design allows “both the wearer and receiver can enjoy some added stimulation.” She found that the harness fit her very well and that the straps were super easy to adjust once she got the hang of it. She was also “surprised to see how small the dildo actually was, so it was perfect for pegging beginners like my partner and I.”  On the flip side, the dildo does almost seem a bit too small for the o-ring. This made it prone to slipping out during more vigorous movement. This isn’t a problem if you choose to use a slightly girthier dildo, though. Overall I think it’s a decent quality pegging kit that’s both affordable and versatile.

4 Best Strapless

Strap-On-Me Bendable Strap-On Small

 Strap-On-Me Bendable

Strap-On-Me Bendable

  • Egg-shaped pony
  • Adjustable joint with position memory
  • Flexible shaft with slightly sculpted tip

  • Great quality
  • Comes in four different sizes
  • Stimulates both partners
  • Stays in well

  • Shaft was a little too flexible

One of the main complaints I see with strapless strap-ons is that they just don’t stay in — even if you can Kegel at an olympic level! However, Strap-On-Me’s egg-shaped pony seems to be much easier to hold in place! Cassie reviewed it for us and reported that she was pleasantly surprised that it “require[d] less support than [she] thought a strapless strap-on would require!” She found that the posable mid section was “a huge win” and like that it “allowed [her] to find the perfect fit for my specific anatomy.” As well as helping it stay in place, she commented that the “large egg-shaped bulb feels amazing since it puts so much pressure on the g-spot.” It was also nice that “the movements of the dildo could be felt in the internal pony,” adding more stimulation for the wearer. Cassie tested out the small size and thought the shaft was “great for beginners since it’s so slim and smooth” but it’s also nice that it comes in four bigger sizes for more advanced tastes.

5 Best Vibrating

I picked the Lapis as the best vibrating strap-on because it scored top marks for vibration – a perfect 100/100 for strength and an almost perfect 90/100 for rumbliness, which most people prefer over buzzy vibrations! It also has an impressive 3 vibrating motors that stimulate both partners. On top of that, I think the option for app control makes it so much easier to control all the settings. Joseph reviewed the Lapis for Bedbible and was taken aback that he “could feel the motor all through [his] whole body even on the lowest setting.” He was also impressed that even though the motors are very strong they are also surprisingly quiet,” so this is a vibrating strap-on I wouldn’t be scared to use in a shared living situation!  He also enjoyed the strapless strap-on design, commenting that it gave him some gendergood feelings about having a penis with no obvious straps holding it up” so I can see this being a great accessory for anyone struggling with ftm genital dysphoria. Unfortunately, as is often the case with strapless strap-ons, he experienced that it slipped out and he “still needed a hand to hold it in place.” I often recommend using a harness with a strapless strap-on for this specific reason and Joseph actually found that using a harness with the Lapis increased their pleasure as it “really presses the ribbed bottom of the shaft against you” and increases the vibration intensity. If I was going to use the Lapis, I would only use the app to control it as the strap-on itself only has one power button, which Joseph found “can be tricky to find, especially if you’re already wearing it.” Plus, the app allows for a lot more customisation!

In my experience, most strap-ons focus the stimulation on the receiving partner, but I really like that this one has a lot going on for the wearer as well, with internal and clitoral vibrations! Vicki and her partner reviewed it for us and were happy that they could “both experience some great sensations!” They thought “the vibrations [were] amazing” and definitely “increased the pleasure” they felt while using it! They did find that it came with a bit of a learning curve and like most strapless strap-ons, it was a challenge to get it to stay in. However, “both ends hit the right spots and it was a connecting experience” that had them on the “brink of orgasm at the same time.” While strapless strap-ons can be tricky to use, they do have the advantage of feeling more intimate! The also found that the “buttons are a bit confusing” so it’s good spend a bit of time working them out before diving in. Vicki also discovered that she could use the strap-on as a “G-spot vibrator and a vibrating dildo,” making it a fun toy to use solo as well!

I reviewed the Strap-On-Me Diva Lingerie Harness and loved how sexy it looked! It was my first foray into the world of strap-ons and it really was a fantastic place to start! It’s as easy as wearing a pair of panties! It’s also super easy to slip your dildo of choice through the stretchy O-ring and you are good to go! It will work with dildos up to 1.6 inches and I found a few of my dildos worked well, including the Sportsheets Galaxie and the Vixen Mustang. I loved the lace details and open back design and felt really sexy while wearing the harness, which added a lot to the experience! It also means it’s great for wearing a butt plug, especially a cute one, like the Rosebuds Butt Plug, because you can see the gem peeking out through the open back design. The suspenders were a little fiddly and have since been lost somewhere in a drawer but I like that you can easily remove them. The harness is quite stable, but as the material is stretchy, I found myself needing to use my hand to stabilise the dildo at times. Another big plus is that it’s machine washable!

I’ve tried a whole lot of dildos in my time, and this is still my favorite! The dual density silicone is just *mwah chefs kiss!* It feels so wonderfully realistic! I really like that it’s firm enough for easy control but the soft outer layer feels satisfyingly squishy and comfortable. I’m not a fan of realistic skin tone dildos, so I was super happy to get this in the Tie Bright design, but it also comes in three skin tones and other plain colors. On top of all that, flared base, good length, and slight curve all make this dreamy dildo a fantastic strap-on dildo in any harness with an O-ring!

Thigh Strap-On Harness

Thigh strap on harnesses are a great option for anyone who is unable to use a traditional strap-on harness or for anyone who enjoys riding and grinding on their partners lap!

SportsSheets Ultra Thigh Strap-On Harness

SportsSheets Ultra Thigh Strap-On Harness - Thigh Strap-On Harness
The SportsSheets Ultra Thigh Strap-On Harness is a fully adjustable thigh strap that wraps around the thigh, securing any dildo with a flared based to the wearer’s thigh. It’s made of soft, comfortable neoprene with a velcro fastening, and can accommodate dildos of up to 1.75 inches.

Things to Consider When Buying a Strap On

  • Harness Style — You want a harness that is going to be comfortable, and supportive! There are two main options. First, strap-style harnesses, which are the most supportive but can be fiddly. Secondly, underwear-style harnesses, which offer a little less support but can feel more natural.
  • Harness Material — If you want a strap on for everyday use, I would recommend going for something machine washable. However, if you are looking for more of BDMS style, a leather harness definitely looks the part!
  • Dildo Size — Whoever is on the receiving end should help pick the dildo. If you are using your strap-on for anal play/pegging, or you are just getting into penetrative play, I recommend going for something smaller with a more tapered tip. Check out the beginner’s option in the review for my favorite first time strap on.
  • Dildo Shape — If you are looking for some delicious g-spot or p-spot stimulation, shop for a strap-on that comes with a curved dildo. A pronounced tip will also add to this sensation!
  • Dildo Material — As always, we recommend buying a non-toxic, non-porous dildo, such as silicone dildo.
  • Dildo Compatibility — Harnesses that use O-rings can be used with any dildo with a flared base. So typically more diverse than those harnesses with a suction cup base.
  • Vibrations — Some strap-ons come with bullet vibrators that can be inserted into the dildo or the harness for some extra stimulation. If you crave strong vibrations I would recommend you pick a strap on with built in vibrations as the quality and strength of the vibrations tend to be better.

Strap On Sizes: Which is Right For You?

When it comes to strap-ons and strap-on kits, sizing can feel more than confusing! That’s why we’ve created this handy guide to help you choose the best size for you and your partner. Sizing and measuring, though it may sound boring, is an essential part of finding a strap on that feels comfortable and suits your needs perfectly. From strapless to hollow we’ll cover the best ways to measure, get comfortable, and find your perfect strap on!

Dildo Size

  • Beginners — a length of between 5-7 inches and a diameter of around 1 -1.5 inches.
  • Intermediate — a length of 8-9 inches and a diameter of 1.5 – 2 inches
  • Experienced — Upwards of 9 inches in length and 2 inches in diameter
A good way to tell what size you would like is by seeing how many fingers you feel inserting and using that as a rough estimate

How to measure for a hollow strap on

To do this, you’ll only need to measure for the diameter of your erect penis; the length does not matter. The canal in a hollow strap on can range from 1.25-2 inches. Note: Use a soft, flexible measuring tape for safety!
  • For this bit, you need to have an erection or as close to an erection as you can
  • Take the measuring tape and wrap it around the girthiest part of your penis
  • This is now your measurement in circumference, however you need to convert this to diameter
  • To find the diameter, you can divide the number by 3.14 or use an online converter
  • Once you have the diameter, you can shop for your new hollow strap on!

How to measure for a harness

Measuring for a harness is super easy; all you’ll need is a measuring tape!

Underwear Harness

Measuring for strap on underwear is as simple as knowing your underwear size! Sizes usually range from 4-30 in US.

Strap-Style Harness

Simply wrap the measuring tape around your waist and make a note of the size; next, do the same thing but around the upper thighs- these are the places where the harness sits. You now have your measurements and can purchase a harness that fits perfectly!

How to Use a Strap On

Using a strap on can be a bit of learning curve, as you might not be used to being the penetrator, but with a bit of practice it becomes much more natural. Wearing a strap on, whether you are penetrating penis owning partner or vulva owning partner, can feel both exciting and empowering! For the best experience, make sure to communicate clearly with your partner.

Adjust the harness

Adjust the harness

If your harness has straps, you will need to fit them to your body. Step into the harness and tighten so the harness is snug against your body and the base sits flat against your pubic mound.

Practice Wearing it

Practice Wearing it

If this is your first time wearing the harness, I recommend wearing it around the house to get a feel for how it moves. Try thrusting, do a little dance, whatever takes your fancy! This will help you get used to moving with the strap on.

Warm up first

Warm up first

When it comes to having sex, make sure your partner is fully aroused before trying to penetrate them. If you are penetrating them vaginally, warm up with some clitoral or vaginal stimulation. If you are going for anal penetration, you can massage their perineum and anus. You can also warm up by slowly inserting a finger, but don’t miss the next step!

Use plenty of lube

Use plenty of lube

No matter what type of penetration you are going for, always apply plenty of water-based lubrication first! You might also need to reapply as you play, especially during anal penetration.

Penetrate your partner slowly

Penetrate your partner slowly

You will want to go slowly as you don’t get any physical feedback from a dildo as you would a penis. Allow your partner to guide you and communicate clearly.

Allow your partner to move

Allow your partner to move

Once the dildo is inserted, you can let your partner move back and forth. The cowgirl position is great as the person being penetrated is control of the depth and movement.

Work your way up to thrusting

Work your way up to thrusting

As you become more comfortable, you can experiment with thrusting in and out of your partner. Make sure to check in with them to see what feels good and what doesn’t.

How to Clean a Strap on?

It's important to clean your strap on before and after every use to keep you safe and the strap on in great condition! You should always check the manufacturer's cleaning instructions, but here are some general guidelines. Many harnesses are machine washable but always check beforehand. Harnesses made from silicone or leather will need to be cleaned by hand. If your dildo is waterproof, you can use warm water and soap or a sex toy cleaner to wash it. If it is not waterproof, wipe the dildo down with a damp cloth or sex toy cleaner, making sure to remove all of the residue. Make sure everything is fully dry before storing it away for next time.

FAQ

Harness style — loosen the harness so you can step into it, one leg at a time. Pull it up and tighten the straps a bit. Place the dildo in the harness, and then fully tighten the straps so the harness is snug and secure.

Vulva owners can wear all types of strap on, whereas penis owners will need to look for a unisex strap on, which has a hole in the harness for their penis or a hollow strap on, which has space inside the dildo for their penis.

Strap ons can be part of all types of partner sex. They are commonly used by two partners with vulvas to experience penetration or worn by a person with a vulva to penetrate their penis-owning partner (a.k.a pegging). People with penises may also choose to wear a strap on if they erectile dysfunction, want to increase the size of their penis, or for double penetration.

You should use water-based lubrication with your strap on, unless your dildo is made of glass or stainless steel, in which case, you can use any lubricant of your choice.

All of the strap on dildos in this post are from shops we love and trust, so you can shop with peace of mind. You should also shop from reputable sex toy stores, online or in person.

What is a strap on?

A strap on is a harness with a dildo that allows you be the penetrating partner without having a penis or an erection. The harness is worn like a pair of underwear and holds a dildo of your choice, allowing anyone to experience what it is like to penetrate their partner as if they had a penis. Strap ons are often be used for penetrative sex between two partners with vulvas or for pegging — where a vulva owning partner penetrates their partner anally. There are also hollow strap ons that can be worn over a penis to experience a bigger erection or help with erectile dysfunction. There really is a strap on for every occasion!
