Top Tips for a Seamless Strap-On Dildo Experience

Strap On Dildos take the humble dildo and give it a whole new realistic makeover. Perfect for same-sex female partners, role reversal, and double penetration fantasy fulfillment, the Strap-On Dildo is versatile and opens up whole new orgasmic opportunities. But despite common misunderstandings, Strap-On Dildos are not designed to just replace a real-life manhood.


So what are Strap-On Dildos? And how can they be used to blow up your bedroom?


In this 101 guide to Strap-On Dildos, we will answer these most pressing existential questions and more. Here are our top tips for a seamless Strap-On Dildo experience:

1. Get to Know Your Strap-On Dildo

As its name may have already hinted to you, a Strap-On Dildo is, basically, a dildo that is attached to a strap or harness that is worn around the body. But before you can even think about strapping in and hopping, we first need to break down the basics:

The Dildo Itself 

This is, of course, the main attraction, and Strap-On Dildos come in every size, shape, and texture you can imagine, from realistic replicas to wild fantasy shapes. While many dildos can be used in harnesses, make sure to double-check the compatibility of any new dildo purchases to ensure a snug fit.

The Strap/Harness

The foundation of any strap-on experience, the harness is what holds it all together. From beginner-friendly simple straps to deluxe leather bondage styles, a well-fitting harness will keep your dildo in place, ensure your comfort and free movement, and let both partners focus on the fun. 

The O-Ring

This tiny but essential component is what connects the dildo to the body harness. It is very important that you have a strong and stable O-Ring or your Strap-On Dildo will be flapping around uselessly and you will have no control over the thrusts.

2. Choose the Right Harness

Your harness is the backbone of your strap-on setup, so picking the right one is key for a smooth, and horny hands-free experience. A good harness keeps your dildo in place while giving you the freedom to get creative, while a bad one will end up with your hands doing all the work which makes the whole strap setup pointless.


Let’s break down the harness options that will keep your Strap-On Dildo exactly where it needs to be:

Two-Strap Harness

This classic setup has one strap around the waist and another between the legs, holding your dildo firmly in place while offering unrestricted access. It is a bit like a minimalist jockstrap that hugs you just right, ensuring you’re stable and ready for action.

Three-Strap Harness

With one strap around the waist and two wrapping each thigh, this option provides a bit more support and control, perfect for strap-on vigorous sessions. Think of it as the seatbelt of harnesses - a snug fit that lets you drive with confidence.

Underwear Harness

This stylish option looks and feels like your favorite undies, and is designed for comfort without sacrificing control. You can slip into an underwear harness like a comfy pair of briefs but which are as naughty as crotchless panties.

4. Practice Your Swordplay

Before you set out on your grand strap-on adventure, it’s worth taking the time to practice some “swordplay” first! Slip into your harness and get familiar with the weight, movement, and balance of your new gear. Try out different stances, practice your thrusting skills, and maybe even do a few lunges for good measure. 


Walk around, see how it feels, and test the waters until you’re moving like a natural. Finding your perfect rhythm takes a bit of trial and error, so give yourself permission to explore until the whole setup feels like an extension of you. This experimentation will also alert you to any issues with your Strap-On Dildo whether an ill-fitting harness, faulty O-Ring, or some other problem. It’s better to rectify the issue now than suffer coitus interruptus later! 

5. Put Your Practice Into Action

Once you are a pro, you can then get down to business. Strap-On Dildos can be used for all kinds of kinks and naughtiness but some of our favorites include:


  • Role Reversal
  • Pegging
  • Girl-On-Girl Penetration
  • Double Penetration
  • ED Management
