Male-female; female-female; even male-male couples can all enjoy a strap on adventure! Strap ons have been pretty mainstream since Madonna was spotted buying a pretty purple strap on cock and harness while married to Guy Ritchie a few years back, so wanting to get in on the action-literally—is only natural!

If venturing into the naughty world of strap ons is something that you’re ready for, then use these tips to help you make the best choice.

How to Choose a Strap On Dildo

The first thing you really need to do is think about what kind of experience you’re looking for out of the strap on. Who’s going to be doing the giving and who’s going to be doing the taking? The size of strap on dildo you choose will depend on the type of penetration you’re looking for and the experience of the person who’s going to taking it in. If it’s for vaginal penetration you’re after then the size of the dildo can be on the larger end of the spectrum, depending on how experienced she is and what she prefers. If it’s for anal sex, then the strapon dildo you pick really should be based on the taker’s comfort level and experience. Generally a smaller strapon dildo is the way to go for anal play, especially if this is going to be worn by both parties at some point. If the taker is more experience in anal pleasure, then it’s a matter of getting as much as they can take!

Once you’ve figured out the size of the strap on dildo that best works for your needs, you need to look at the size of the harness. Most strap ons have adjustable harnesses to accommodate a range of sizes. Harnesses also come in specialty sizes if it’s going to be worn by someone who is plus size. Your best bet is to take measurements and look for the right size or size range for those wearing it. The better the fit; the more control; and the better the experience when it comes to strap ons so measure carefully and choose accordingly.

Straps ons come in different styles, colors, and materials too so shop around and choose what tickles your fancy. Strap on dildos come in materials like jelly, Cyberskin, and silicone and harnesses come in everything from leather and latex to vinyl and even mesh. It’s a matter of preference and budget here.

Finally, don’t forget to pick up lube—loads and loads of lube. Like with all sex toys; using lubricant ensures a way smoother experience and for newbies to the world of strap ons, the extra glide is a must. And though we’re taking about strap on dildos and not the real thing; practicing safe sex is a must if you’re going to be sharing your toy or going from ass to vagina. Use a fresh condom over the dildo or wash the dildo between uses/orifices using a good quality sex toy cleaner.
