But with hundreds of strap-on harnesses in the market, buying a suitable harness for your play can be daunting. This guide is meant to help you choose the right tool for your play.

Things to consider when buying strap-on Harnesses

Consider the primary use for your Strap-on Harness

Before choosing a strap-on harness, you need to contemplate on how you plan to use it. The most common reasons why people use strap-on harnesses is for pegging, packing, lesbian penetrations or to aid penetration in case of premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. You also need to consider your penetrative experience and your versatility. Do you need a strap-on harness that can fit in with different dildos (an adjustable O-ring will be important here)? Are you concerned about the sexiness for the aesthetic appeals (style and colour of harness)? Are you looking for a packing harness (comfort and discretion)?  Are you looking to prolong penetration or increase the penis size (A hollow strap –on dildo will be a more suitable choice). Think about your unique requirements and this will help you narrow down on the styles and special features most suitable for your play.

Consider the Style

Strap-On harnesses come in different styles and designed each with a unique advantage. Here is a breakdown of the common strap-on harness styles in the market:

Thong Style Harness:

These harnesses assume a thong panty style. They are the most available in the market and tend to be cheapest to purchase. They are perfect for aesthetic appeal as they leave most of your partner’s butt-cheeks out, awesome for spanking play during penetration. Often they have adjustable straps which are perfect if you wish to share with your partner.

Avoid purchase if: you require access to your genitals when wearing the harness. The thong strap-on harness covers your vulva, vagina and part of your anus. The strap between the legs may also cause some discomfort if your plan to wear it for a prolonged period hence, not suitable for packing.

Jock Strap-on Harnesses:

This style of harness consists of three strips of material. One strap buckles around the waist and the other two are looped between the legs sitting at either side of the butt cheeks (bikini line) or the genitals. The jock strap-on harnesses provide access to your vulva, vagina and anus allowing for more stimulation as your thrust your partner. This harness also offers more control and balance of the dildo as compared to thong style and strapless strap-ons. This makes them perfect for hot sexy thrusting especially if you are looking for a prolonged thrusting moment.

Avoid Purchasing if: you want a harness that is easy to slip into. The jock strap-on harness takes time to fit in and get comfortable. However, this should not be a hindrance to great sex. A minute or two is cannot compare to a control and comfort offered by this harness.

Underwear Style Strap-On Harnesses:

These harnesses resemble standard underwear and are pulled up and down like normal parties. The only different is that they have an O-ring to fit the dildo. They come in different styles including lacy thongs, bikini briefs and boxer shorts. They are made from stretchy but well-fitting materials for comfort. This makes them perfect to wear for long periods of time.

Avoid purchasing if: you are looking for extensively adjustable harnesses. Underwear strap-on are designed to fit the wearer tightly with only one or two size increments at most. They also cover the genitals reducing the access for extra stimulation. This may limit how much mutual play you can enjoy with your partner.

Consider the O-ring

Strap-on harnesses can have interchangeable O-rings or fixed O-rings. Interchangeable O-rings offer more versatility on the size of dildos you can choose from. These rings are often made from stretchy materials such as rubber or silicone and are buckled to the harness separately. This means you can change the harness to fit your dildo size at will. This makes interchangeable O-rings perfect for when you want to experiment with different dildo sizes, or if you are a beginner needing to go up the penetrative sizes without needed to buy a new harnesses every time. One the other hand, fixed O-rings are sewn into the material making them impossible to change or stretch, hence less versatility. However, they are perfect if you have already settled on a personal favourite size.

Consider the Size

The size of the harness is crucial for your comfort and control of the dildo. The sizes are usually dependent on your body size. Make sure to read the product description to know the sizes and increment options available. Strap-on harnesses with adjustable straps and buckles can easily fit a broad range of body sizes. These are ideal for couples as they can share one harness among themselves. Underwear strap-on harnesses are often made from stretchy materials but have a high limitation on size increments. Peaches and Screams have a wide variety of adjustable strap-on and underwear strap-on harnesses for your exploration.

Consider Material

Strap-on harnesses come in a variety of materials including latex, PVC, linen, leather among others. Consider the comfort and aftercare when choosing the material. Some materials such as latex and PVC are not breathable and may cause sweating. However, they look rather sexy, which can be an add value to turning-on your partner. You also need to think about the cleaning and sterilization procedures needed for your materials. Read the product description to know if you can handle the cleaning before purchase.
