Strap-Ons

A strap-on consists of a harness and a dildo that attaches to it. The harness is worn around the hips, allowing the wearer to penetrate their partner.

Strap-ons are suitable for all couples, regardless of gender or orientation:

• Couples seeking role-play and variety
• Partners who want to give penetration
• Couples exploring double penetration
• Anyone wanting to discover new forms of intimacy

There are also strapless strap-ons that are used without a harness — the short end is worn internally by the wearer while the longer end penetrates the partner.

When choosing a strap-on, consider three components:

The harness

• Belt type — Adjustable straps around hips and thighs. Universal fit
• Underwear type — Looks like underwear, sits more stable and discreet
• Choose a harness with an interchangeable O-ring so you can use different dildos

The dildo

• Beginners — Start with a smaller size (12-15 cm) and smooth texture
• Material — Silicone is safest and most comfortable
• With or without vibration — Some models have a built-in vibrator

Accessories

• Water-based lubricant — Essential for comfortable use
• Toy cleaner — For hygienic use

Tips for the first time with a strap-on:

1. 1Communicate — Discuss wishes, boundaries, and a safe word beforehand
2. 2Adjust the harness — Make sure it sits firmly but comfortably
3. 3Use plenty of lubricant — This is the most important thing for comfort
4. 4Start slowly — Let the receiving partner set the pace
5. 5Check in — Regularly ask if everything feels good
6. 6Experiment with angles — Different positions feel different. Start in a position where the receiver has control

Tip: Strapless strap-ons require practice. A harnessed model is often easier for beginners.

Proper hygiene is essential:

The dildo

• Clean before and after each use with warm water and toy cleaner
• Silicone dildos can also be boiled for full disinfection
• Always use water-based lubricant with silicone dildos

The harness

• Hand wash regularly in lukewarm water with mild soap
• Let dry completely before storing
• Check straps and buckles regularly for wear

Store the dildo and harness separately and dry.
