Do you want to engage in erotic lesbian sex or peg your partner? You need a compatible harness to hold your dildo in place. Learn how to choose a strap-on harness for your dildo from this article. 

In recent years, there has been a constant emergence of new sex toys and accessories to heighten the erotic pleasures during sex. Straps-on is among the sex accessories that have emerged and can be used by both solo partners and couples. Using dildos alone may be great but not thrilling if you want to make more out of your session. If you want to use your hand for other erotic stunts during your play, you need to have a strap-on harness. However, there are many straps on, and chances are you may not know which one fits your dildo. Although some strap-on comes with a dildo when purchased, you may not like them; hence you need to find something that suits your preference. This guide will help you choose the best strap-on harness for your pegging or lesbian session.

Choosing the Strap According To the Type

Before deciding on the correct harness for you, you need to understand the different strap-on harnesses, as Comella (2004) explained. It will give you the basic knowledge of what you should consider buying. According to Rubin et al. (2019), a harness is worn to replicate a man’s genitals and is mostly used by ladies for lesbian play or pegging sessions. It firmly keeps the dildo in place to provide a hands-free experience for both partners. The following are the main strap-on harnesses you can choose from when shopping for one.

Two-Strap Harness

This is the most basic strap-on that resembles a G-string. One of the straps goes around the user's legs and the other between the legs. The straps meet at the back. It is widely and the most sought-after harness. However, some straps lovers hate it because the second strap constantly rubs the butt hole during plays. The rubbing destroys the mood for sex and makes the season end quickly. 

Three-Strap Harness 

This strap-on is comfortable compared to the basic style two-strap harness. The main strap wraps around the user’s waist, while the remaining two wrap around the thighs, far from the genitals. The straps connect in front of your crotch. The dildo is then attached to the spacious O-ring or the hole and stays in place like a man’s penis until you remove it. Unfortunately, some people claim that the strap-on doesn’t fit correctly. The dildo might slip off the harness when you are playing. That means you have to play gently, hindering your pleasure. It is also an option to consider before deciding on the type of harness you want to buy.

Lingerie Harness 

This unique harness looks like clothes like corsets and other lingerie. Among these types, you can find one that you can wear under your outfit with no irritation. Most strap-on users prefer it because it quickly turns them on and invokes erotic feelings. This harness is good for people who need to enjoy sex without location limitations. Moreover, this strap-on holds the dildo firmly in place, meaning you can unleash all your energy on your partner and enjoy the session. 

Strap-on Harness Corresponding to Different Body Parts

A strap-on is not limited to the crotch area. Many straps on harnesses can be worn on other body parts. The thigh strap on harnesses is the most popular. With this strap-on, you can have sex with different sex positions for more thrill. Some are designed to be worn on the chin, ideal for people who want to have anal and vaginal penetration simultaneously. You have to try these new innovative straps and decide on the one that will spike your liking. 

Choosing Strap on Harness depending on Material

When choosing a strap-on, most people will look at the material used to make the toy. Is it safe for you and your partner? If not, you should leave that choice and go for a safe and comfortable one. There are several materials used to make strap-on harnesses. The most common materials include:

Synthetic Harness 

Harnesses made from this material are durable and fairly cheap. It is easy to clean and maintain as it needs little maintenance practices. Moreover, you can use a machine wash to clean it after using it.

Leather Strap on Harness 

It is another common heavy-duty material used to make a harness. Consider this harness if you want a harness that will stick firmly to your body even when playing roughly. It is adjustable; hence you do not have to worry about your waist size. Unfortunately, cleaning leather is hard, and the harness needs a high level of maintenance. 

Fabric Strap on Harness 

They are comfortable to the body. Although they are expensive, it is affordable. Moreover, maintenance is easy but high level. 

Other harness materials include plastic and rubber.

The Bottom Line 

A harness is worn to replicate a man's genitals and is mostly used by ladies for lesbian play or pegging sessions. It firmly keeps the dildo in place to provide a hands-free experience for both partners. Straps-on is among the sex accessories that have emerged and can be used by solo partners and couples. Using dildos alone may be great but not thrilling if you want to make more out of your session.
