Strap-Ons

Anybody and every body that enjoys penetration! Strap-ons are a great way to explore G-spot play and vaginal orgasms or prostate stimulation and exciting new positions with pegging. Whether or not a partner has a penis, dildos and strap-ons can offer new sensations like texture, different sizes, vibration, and so on!

Of course, strap-on play is incredible for vaginal and anal penetration, but that doesn't have to be all you're limited to with these versatile tools. Giving and getting a blowjob or handjob on a dildo can be really hot -- not only visually, but the sensation of feeling the base of the dildo rubbing against the body can feel great (even orgasmic!).

Dildos are one of the most versatile toys on the market, and they come in a lot of varieties. When picking your dildo, there’s a lot to consider- because sometimes things like size does matter:

Length: How long your dildo is. Total length is the actual dimensional length of the entire toy, whereas insertable length is the size of the toy that will actually go inside of the body during penetration. Insertable length is usually the key in finding the right fit. 

Girth: How thick your dildo is / the diameter. A more girthy dildo will give a stronger sensation of fullness in the body. While you can control how much length you take/give with how you move with your toy, the girth cannot be controlled by movement.

Realistic or Non-Realistic: Representational or Realistic are terms used to refer to how much your dildo looks or feels like an anatomical (or “flesh”) penis.

Bases: The base is the end of the dildo that doesn’t get inserted. If you are looking to use your dildo anally or in a harness, you want a dildo that has a flared base to anchor it or fasten into your harness.

Material: What your dildo is made of. Dildos can come in a variety of materials–silicone, metal, and glass (just to name a few)–to offer a variety of different textures and sensations. 

Vibration: Vibration adds another layer of sensation to your dildo by giving it the ability to–well, vibrate! Many dildos feature a hole at the base where a bullet vibrator can be inserted, and some even have the motor built right in.

While this isn’t a complete list of all of the wonderful things that a dildo can be, have, or do- it’s good to keep these features in mind as you find your ideal insertable toy.

Some harnesses come in fitted sizes, while others have adjustable straps - so think about your specific fit and whether you want to share your strap with a partner of a different size.

With brief-style harnesses, you get the ease of pulling on your harness without having to handle any buckles, straps, and so forth. These come in all different styles, from boxer-briefs to ribbon-and-lace panties. Keep in mind, brief-style harnesses don’t have that adjustable sizing, and often the O-ring (that’s what holds the dildo in place!) is not interchangeable, so the real girthy toys may not fit this style.

Strap-style harnesses allow you to adjust your size. Some are designed in a jock-strap style, while others are simply a fabric base and straps to secure. Most will have interchangeable O-rings to fit a variety of dildo sizes as well. Strap-style harnesses depend on hardware like buckles or velcro to fit onto the body, so they may take a minute to get on, but being able to adjust to your specific fit will ensure a perfectly snug and sturdy strap.

Harnesses also don’t just have to go over the hips! There are alternative harnesses designed to go on the face, the chest, the thigh, and plenty of places elsewhere.
