What Is Strap-On Underwear?

Strap-ons are sex toys, consisting of two parts – a dildo and a harness for fixing the dildo. They are available both in sets and separately, as many dildos are compatible with various harnesses. Strap-ons allow penetrating partners hands-free and elevating the whole dynamic in the bedroom to a new level.

How To Use A Strap-On?

How to place it on your body? The dildo is usually placed in a low part of the wearer’s body. Its flat surface rests over the pubic area.

For what purpose should you use it? Strap-ons can be used by both men and women. People may use these toys for anal penetration (also known as pegging), penetrative sex (for persons with vaginas), and double penetration (for stimulation of vagina and anal at the same time), and oral sex.  They are also helpful for gender affirmation or when a person experiences erectile dysfunction.

What is the best material for strap-on dildos? If you’re going to buy dildos for this purpose, select those made of 100% silicone, stainless steel, or glass. Silicone models are hypoallergenic, easy to clean, they can be sterilized and thus they are more expensive. Stainless steel models can serve for a long time, they are easy to clean but can feel heavy. Glass dildos don’t harbor bacteria, however they are rigid and have no flexibility, and there's always a small risk of breakage. You can also buy models of strap-ons including external or internal vibrators, which help you experience pleasant vibrations on genitals.

What is the best material for strap-on harness? Leather lingerie with strap-on rings is considered the best and most durable. It offers a traditional and luxurious feel, provides a good level of support and control during penetrative games. You can also select lightweight nylon harnesses, however they can be less comfortable against the skin and may not look as appealing and seductive as leather.

What sex positions should you use for penetration with a strap-on? Regarding sex positions, it’s better to start with doggie style, riding positions or missionary. For anal penetration, select positions when the partners who are being penetrated kneel or lie on the bed, while the penetrator stands from behind. However, you can try using a strap-on as a toy for anal sex even in a standing position depending on your height.

How to make it pleasant? Don’t forget about the lubricant, as it makes the strap-on move smoothly and consequently makes the penetration more comfortable. Always check whether the lube you select is compatible with silicone toys.

How to clean a strap-on dildo? The care routine varies depending on the material. You can wash silicone, glass, or stainless steel without internal vibrators in the dishwasher or hand wash them with a special cleaner for sex toys. If you use dildos with vibrators, wipe those using warm water and a toy cleaner.
