Strap-On Kits
What to look for in a Strap On Harness
Strap-on harnesses are usually available in three main styles. Jockstrap, thong, and underwear. Jockstraps look like a classic jockstrap, with straps around the waist and over each butt cheek. Thongs style a strap around the waist and a strap that goes between the legs and between the butt cheeks. Then Underwear looks like a pair of underwear or boxers. There are also other styles, like thigh, chin, or chest harnesses, etc. Most styles are adjustable in size. The jockstraps and thongs style typically come with adjustable straps and areusually available in one or two sizes so they can fit a variety of bodies. On the other hand, underwear harnesses are sized like actual underwear and aren’t adjustable. Adjustable harnesses might be a better choice if you plan on sharing your harness with a partner or are anticipating any fluctuations in weight.
Comfort is the Name of the Game
How comfortable and sturdy a harness feels to wear and use can either go hand in hand or distract from each other, depending on the quality and type of your harness. Two-strap styles tend to have much better stability than a single-strap thong, which makes it easier to control. Also, keep in mind with the Thong style, the thrusting might cause some rubbing, so jock styles tend to be more popular. Thicker straps like the Lush Harness tend to be more sturdy and comfortable because they don’t dig into the skin and are more supportive for heavier toys.
Comfort is more of a personal preference. Some people find strappy harnesses uncomfortable and some prefer ones that feel more like underwear. You’ll also meet other people that find underwear harnesses restrictive and less sturdy to use. Certain styles might also lead to chafing, depending on how they fit your specific body configuration. The best way to get used to it is simply by wearing it. Wear your harness around the house while you’re doing laundry or dishes, just to see how it feels on your body. Then add the dildo. You’re doing all of this before you ever use your strap-on for sex. Get used to the weight and movement just when you move around your home. Don’t be afraid to be a little silly and practice some thrusts too.
Practice makes perfect, right? So go on and practice putting your strap-on harness on and off and also practice thrusting with your abs instead of your hips. Then you can go into any situation feeling more confident the first time you use your strap-on for real, and skip any awkward moments like putting your foot through the wrong hole.
