Once upon a time, there was a frustrated pervert just like you who wanted to get more out of sex. He or she sat down and conceptualized all the ways it could be done and eventually, the world’s very first strap-on was invented. Nothing has been the same since. The modern-day sex toy industry is so keen on all things strappy, in fact, that many products are being made to work in tandem with them despite the person’s experience level, skill set or initial desires. It’s like the gods of good sex reached through the clouds and handed us a big ass favor that we don’t even deserve. We should probably take advantage of their kindness. And oh, have we ever.
Now, it’s almost impossible not to be inundated with a thousand options as soon as you open your computer. The average consumer is suddenly privy to more pleasure products than ever before, with high-quality strap-ons taking center stage much of the time. But why are they so popular and which ones are worthy of your attention? Well, for one thing, they’re hot sellers because they allow kinkier couples to comfortably explore the full spectrum of their sexuality without having to involve another partner. As for finding the one that’s worth your time, that’s strictly a matter of opinion. However, I’ve got a few suggestions that I think might float your boat.
Strap-on dildos and harnesses are damn near everywhere these days, with a wide variety of shapes and sizes to choose from and materials derived from all four corners of the world. Anyone can buy one, no prescription or embarrassment needed. They range greatly in quality, functionality and effectiveness, but a handful have managed to rise to the top of the stack by being exceptional examples of what a sex toy like this should (and shouldn’t) be. Here are the top 10 for your consideration:
This bad boy may be a singular sensation but that doesn’t mean it can’t offer more than meets the eye. First of all, the Fun Factory brand is known for churning out toys that do exactly that, so it should be no big deal that their ShareVibe Strapless Strap-On is such a remarkable work of modern-day erotic engineering. Secondly, the fact that the device can be worn anally makes it ideal for couples looking to pump up the jam on their cram session. It’s conveniently fitted with a powerful 5-function bullet vibrator and is designed to pinpoint the g-spot and/or p-spot depending on how you turn it. Yes, it can be worn in several different positions but I don’t think it says that on the box.
Delicately curved and made to look like a natural part of the wearer’s body, the shaft on the SV is too flexible for pegging but perfect for realistic dual stimulation. Meanwhile, the double-ended couple’s dong offers a 100% silicone covering to ensure maximum safety and sensationalism. The entire thing measures 4.5 inches in total circumference with a 5.5-inch insertable length when all is said and done, plus it can be taken with you into the bath or shower for some seriously sexy water sports – not bad for a strap-on that doesn’t even have any straps. Psh.
Tracey Cox has done it again with her Supersex Remote Controlled Strapless Strap-On Sex Toy for men and/or women. This unisex plaything is ideal for all sorts of people regardless of their sexual orientation, plus it’s designed to allow for experimentation in the spontaneous. The deep penetrative action combines with the powers of its robust motor to deliver an insane amount of pleasure to both the wearer and the receiver. In fact, the manufacturer made sure to include 3 different vibration speeds and a total of 7 distinct performance patterns just for good measure.
Perfect for pegging parties, double penetration games and everything in between, the TC Strapper exemplifies the fresh, sexy alternative that these devices are meant to be. The slightly curved shaft is covered in a thick sheet of high-grade silicone and the wireless remote control allows for partner play of epic proportions. And while this double-ended masterpiece requires more charge time than it offers in terms of playtime, the 6.5-inch insertable length and 4.5-inch girth make up for that in so many ways (especially if you’re someone without a working penis to whip around).
This kit has the power to turn a simple pegging session into an unforgettable experience thanks to the unique collection of kinky accessories it comes with. The Lovehoney brand is one of the most consumer-friendly on the market, and their Take Control Bondage Kit is a testament to that. It comes with 10 different pieces of BDSM gear, including non-penetrative stuff like a blindfold, a pair of nipple suckers, a breathable ball gag, and a sexy flogger in case your submissive steps out of line when you’re bringing home the bacon. Sensory deprivation and pain delivery just got about 7000 degrees hotter, don’t you think?
Meanwhile, the strap-on portion of this impressive kit features a silicone dildo with a minimal detailing aside from the slight curvature of the shaft and the somewhat bulbous head (put there for insertion enhancement, I assume). The shaft has a suction cup base for improved versatility and its attached to an adjustable harness that features three interchangeable O-rings for expertly fitting the cuffs and/or the four-way under-mattress restraint system in any configuration you see fit. The whole thing requires no extra equipment and each piece can be used independently if, in fact, that’s what the situation calls for.
Not only is this thing realistic looking but it also provides sensations that are a lot like the real thing, especially considering how powerfully the makeshift ejaculate comes shooting out of the bulbous tip. Fetish Fantasy’s Ejaculating Hollow Strap-On is not to be fucked with, at least not in terms of realism and performance. It uses a liquid reservoir tip that slurps up your favorite milky lubricant (even the ones with bonus features), that way you can just give the balls a little squeeze when you’re ready to feel a warm cum shot like you’re really having sex.
The dong itself features a bunch of human-like textures and detailing, including veins and wrinkles along its slightly curved and surprisingly firm shaft. The measurements could be somewhat intimidating to newbies though – 7.5 inches in insertable length with a massive 6.25-inch girth. However, the 4-inch hollow canal lets you wear it over your existing junk as long as the adjustable harness is snugly in place. Best of all, this exciting little number is designed to fit all sorts of body types (as long as they wear a pant size between 30 and 52 inches, that is).
Shit like this usually only gets seen in the movies, but there’s always some lucky son of a bitch who has one in his sex toy collection. With the right considerations, that fortunate son could be you. The King Cock Strap-On Harness Kit inspires awe for several reasons – first of which being its massive dimensions. The dong measures a super juicy 9.5 inches in insertable length with an 8.5-inch total circumference. If it were a country singer, it would be called Girth Brooks. And you don’t have to be a music fan to appreciate it either. After all, aren’t baby elephant trunks the cutest things in the world?
Regardless of your opinion on animals and harmony, the KC Kit features enough realistic vein detailing and a big enough head to convince onlookers that it’s not, in fact, just a baby arm holding an apple. The strong and sturdy nylon strapping system looks and performs like commonplace suspenders, allowing the wearer to move freely about the cabin as long as his waist size is no bigger than 67 inches max. Did I mention that the shaft is completely hollow so you can get it where you fit in and go to town without delay? Gee, I hope that doesn’t change your mind about it.
Desire. Luxury. Strap-ons. Three words we all know and love, and three words that the manufacturer implemented into this rather remarkable strapless beast. It may not look like much, but it’s in the running for the best double-penetration sex toy on the market. The reason for its popularity is most likely the innovative design, but its premium silicone covering and user-friendly functionality probably have something to do with it too. At the right angle, this bad boy can even be used as a clitoral stimulator or a pelvic wall trainer. How’s that for desirable luxuriousness? But wait, there’s more…
The Desire Luxury Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator has more than just an extra-long name. It functions as a double-ended dildo with a powerful vibrating motor that can cycle through eight different patterns at 12 thrilling speeds for up to 60 minutes per session. Meanwhile, the measurements are ideal for almost any user – 5 inches of insertable length, 4.25 inches of circumference to be exact. The wearer gets a half-inch more room inside the hollowed-out canal which, by the way, offers simultaneous stimulation with each thrust whether on the bed or in the shower. And just for some added peace of mind, the maker threw in a patent leather carrying case and a built-in travel lock to keep your filthy habits in check while abroad.
Only slightly less powerful than the majority of its competition, the Happy Rabbit isn’t made by a big shot manufacturer but that doesn’t mean it’s not an impressive machine. After all, this thing explodes with powerful vibrations that perform a total of 15 different feats of pleasure with the touch of a button. It offers three distinct speeds, 9 patterns and 3 separate modes in the pony - each of which certainly come in handy when the clitoral stimulation flaps start tickling your fancy. The HR strapless strap-on is rather slim and it only measures a quaint 5.5 inches in insertable length with a 4.5-inch girth, but it’s shaped for comfortable insertion and can pinpoint the p-spot or g-spot like a well-trained expert so at least there’s that.
Furthermore, this cute, beginner-friendly device uses a standard USB cable to recharge between uses, making it easy to use for all experience levels while keeping it convenient for the pros. Mr. Happy Rabbit here may not offer the same robust jingle that some do, but it more than makes up for that with its innovative and comfortable design. It even has a travel lock like the fancier models, just in case you feel like getting high in the sky with your adorable new strap-on.
There’s nothing wrong with slanging a little wang and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. And while you’re at it, let them know that strap-ons like the Fetish Fantasy Unisex Extreme are perfectly normal as well (even though it’s one hell of a unique piece of work). Either way, you’ll both have a hard time ignoring the 8-inch insertable length and the full 7-inch girth on this monster. Thank God its lightweight because otherwise you wouldn’t be able to hold it up with a harness. Oh wait, it comes with one of those too. It seems as though the maker of this massive beast thought of everything. I’ll have to try harder to find something wrong with it.
Let’s see, it offers a big, hollow shaft so that the wearer can get in on the action, so there’s that. The strapping system is completely adjustable, meaning the fit’s pretty comfortable no matter what your body type is (sizes 4 through 34). The contraption even features a removable dildo with a reinforced core, making it one of the only hollow strap-ons appropriate for pegging. One side is lightly padded and it presents as a sexy thong in the back. What’s not to love? Well, the fact that it’s so big and only comes with one O-ring might be turn-off to some. As for me, I couldn’t care less about shit like that as long as the removable, realistic, penis-like dong felt good (and it did).
It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are in your life, everybody deserves to experience the sensations of being fucked by a partner with a strap-on. It’s in the Constitution, I swear to God. Apparently, the only other people who have read the text are the makers of the Lifelike Lover Realistic Pleasures Kit. It features three different sized and shaped dongs that are each designed to deliver a completely unique experience. The 4-piece kit also comes with a shiny, durable O-ring set so you can find the perfect fit with ease.
Once properly installed, wearers can choose between a 6-inch dong, a basic slimline beginner’s dildo (designed for anal penetration especially) or an ultra-large 8-inch realistic shaft that caters to the fantasies of the wearer’s partner. The simple and adjustable unisex strapping harness slides on quickly with minimal assembly to comfortably fit up to a 70-inch waist. LL’s Realistic Pleasures Kit also comes with a 3-speed, 7-pattern vibrator inside the 6-inch dildo, offering more than enough power and pleasure to satisfy even the most frustrated libido. To make it an even better couple’s device, it comes with a remote control so either one of you can take the reins at any time.
The Lovehoney Perfect Partner offers more than your last twelve exes combined, plus it won't complain when you swap it out for something else (which you will). It certainly isn't a device that can replace higher-end sex toys but it holds its own nonetheless. This 8-inch PVC strap-on dildo for men is not only perfectly proportioned for the average person's body but it's also appropriate for the ladies and equipped with a wired remote controller that promotes an erotic element of surprise. And if that wasn't enough to get the blood flowing there's this: It's hollow so you can use it in about 100 different ways.
Meanwhile, the realistic head combined with the rippling veins of the shaft make it feel damn near real - great news for all my singles out there. The sturdiness of the structure is a nice touch too, as is the dispersal of vibrations from the integrated motor which runs 3 speeds and 7 patterns. Strap it on using the elastic harness or take it off for some fantastic pegging. The Lovehoney Perfect Partner makes erotica easy, intimate and interesting again (even if that fucking wire gets in the way all the time). Can someone say "new and improved design?" I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Buying a brand-new strap-on harness and/or dildo can be a gigantic pain in the ass if you don’t do it right, and I mean that in the most literal way possible. These are what the industry likes to call “specialty items,” meaning they’re not used by all sex toy loving couples and can’t be integrated into every situation. However, these exclusive erotica products are capable of doing so much more than collecting dust in your lover’s nightstand. As a matter of fact, the unique functionality of this particular marital aid is exactly what makes it such a smart purchase in the first place, so let’s learn all we can and get you the best one possible.
A strap-on is a wearable sex toy that’s used to provide internal and/or external stimulation to the vagina and/or anus of the wearer’s partner. It generally includes adjustable strapping systems or is temporarily attached to a fitted harness. Some of the newer models can be enjoyed without straps by being inserted into the anus of the wearer until manually removed. Strap-ons allow for hands-free penetration of a selected sex toy (usually a compatible dildo or vibrator) using only pelvic thrusts. They can be worn by both men and women for a variety of sexual activities including but not limited to the following:
Basically, they play ghost hitter for the pleasurable things that the human body simply cannot do in the heat of the moment. Strap-on dildos and harnesses are therefore an alternative to the classic dong setup, providing more intense sensations, improved control and greater versatility in the bedroom. Many of today’s best models even come with special textures lining the inside of the detachable shaft so that the wearer can enjoy the right as well.
Back in the day, men and women subjected their bodies to some pretty questionable things in search of a more satisfying sex life. Historical records indicate that our ancestors masturbated fervently with the best things they had at the time - shit like old cucumbers and carved up chalk sticks, I’m not even kidding. We’ve been at this a long time. So, the fact that strap-ons are now used by people from all walks of life should come as no surprise to any of us. Truth be told, getting your rocks off with one of these things is a whole lot more respectable than anything our grandparents were doing. Sorry about that visual; moving on.
Folks really seem to enjoy the convenience of the contemporary strap-on and I, for one, can’t blame them. After all, we weren’t always able to pleasure ourselves and/or our partners with this much ferocity. The last time I tried fucking my partner that hard with a handheld dildo, we both ended up in the hospital. It doesn’t look like we’re the only ones who like rough either. How you play is your business, but here are the three groups of people who’ll enjoy using strap-on dongs the most:
Because so many people have chosen to use strap-on dildos in their bedroom, manufacturers have quickly jumped on the bandwagon to create (and recreate) popular models. It’s for that reason this buying guide is so important. Demand breeds supply, and we’ve got plenty of both.
Meanwhile, the whole concept of the strap-on dong is peculiar to some people. It’s not the ideal pleasure product for every couple on the planet, but it does have its own unique ups and downs. So, before spending any of your money on a new one, be sure to carefully consider the following pros and cons:
As you can see, enjoying the full potential of a strap-on pretty much just requires picking the right one out and then using it responsibly. This isn’t genius territory, folks. It’s about preference and perfection, although that shit doesn’t exist. But, as long as it’s the right product for you then who the hell am I to say otherwise? Just make sure you’ve done your homework, please.
Part of doing your homework means researching the practicality and quality of certain features on today’s top strap-ons. You’ll have to compare different devices using common sense and intuition. It’s a tough job but somebody’s gotta do it. Here, maybe these simple guidelines will help you get it done a little bit faster:
Looking for the right stuff while ignoring all the hype is the best (and only) way to find what you’re wanting. Brands will try to tell you what you need; don’t listen. Use your best judgment to determine what’s best, even if that means thinking outside the box like the unique snowflake you are.
Having a basic idea of what to look for is one thing. Knowing things about yourself as a consumer is another. Marketing teams are deployed at the speed of light every time a new product hits the shelves. It’s their job to convince you that theirs is the very best option. However, it’s your job to cut through the bullshit with a more realistic, self-serving approach to strap-on shopping. Here are the five things you need to find out:
Strap-on vibrators and dildos are becoming increasingly popular on the modern-day sex toy market, with a huge variety of shapes, sizes and styles to explore. The once taboo product is now being used in bedrooms all across the world, including those involving same-sex couples, heterosexual partners and everything in between. Getting the most bang for your buck requires a close and careful look at the overall design – the dimensions, the materials, the features, and so on. You cannot make an educated decision based on what a manufacturer tells you. Go with your gut and bust a decent nut or listen to the fad and still need sex really bad. The choice is yours, boys and girls. Please play responsibly.
Q: How do I properly clean one of these when I get done using it?
A: A strap-on is usually one of the easiest and most convenient sex toys to clean. If there are no added features like vibrations, clean-up requires little more than a quick rinse with warm water using a non-abrasive, hypoallergenic soap or sex toy cleaner. Toys that possess extra functionality may need a few additional steps for good measure. Always look at the owner’s manual included with your device for more detailed information.
Q: Is there a special way to store my device when it’s not being played with?
A: In general, strap-ons either come with their own storage container or they’re made to be quickly and easily tucked somewhere discreet in your bedroom – a nightstand, a dresser drawer, the closet, etc. If possible, always keep your unused device hidden inside its included case to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris. If no case is provided, try to get one. In the meantime, always keep your playthings out of the reach of children, in a cool, dry place that’s not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme hot/cold temperatures. Also, be sure to register any manufacturer’s warranties that might have been tossed your way.
Q: Are these sex toys made for vaginal or anal stimulation?
A: The good thing about a dildo is that it can be used in almost any way the consumer sees fit. Strap-ons are no different, at least not in terms of where they can be stuck. Feel free to use your device either vaginally or anally and don’t be afraid to switch it up from time to time. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure the shaft is thoroughly cleaned before you move from one hole to the other. NOTE: Some models may be designed for a specific type of stimulation (g-spot or p-spot, for example) and therefore not perform optimally when used in a different way.
Q: Do I have to be a certain size or have a certain body type to enjoy this type of toy?
A: Most of the time, strap-on dildos and vibrators can be used by anyone with a healthy sexual appetite and an unbroken waist. And while they’re appropriate for most body types and usually made out of hypoallergenic materials that are safe on every skin type, some models require anal penetration for strapless enjoyment. All human beings can grow accustomed to having a toy up their ass, but that’s a choice that should be left up to the one wearing it. Just try to keep in mind that insertable models need sturdy anal musculature for best results.
Q: How can I feel anything pleasurable when I’m the one wearing a strap-on?
A: Strap-on dongs can be a lot of fun for both partners, but only if you choose a hollowed-out shaft with lots of texturing inside the canal. That texture is what will massage your penis or clitoris with each thrust, providing a series of pleasurable sensations to your genital region while your partner enjoys their own. Strap-ons that are not hollow don’t offer the same advantage, but many of them come with detachable vibrators or other stimulation features to further enhance the experience for everyone involved.
