Explore Strap-On Toys for Every Experience Level

A strap-on is a wearable sex toy system that pairs a compatible dildo with a supportive harness, allowing one partner to penetrate another during partnered intimacy. While strap-ons are often associated with pegging, modern designs are created for a wide range of bodies, identities, and relationship dynamics.

Today’s strap-on toys are available in beginner-friendly setups, adjustable harness systems, and body-safe materials designed for comfort, stability, and confidence during use. Whether you’re exploring strap-on play for the first time or expanding your experience with new sensations and positioning, this collection brings together options suited to different comfort levels and preferences.

Types of Strap-On Dildos and Harness Systems

Strap-On Sets and Starter Kits

Complete strap-on kits typically include a harness and compatible dildo designed to work together in size, balance, and comfort. This coordinated setup makes them one of the easiest and most approachable ways to begin exploring strap-on play, especially for first-time users who prefer a simple, ready-to-use solution.

Starter sets remove the guesswork of matching individual components and help beginners focus on comfort, communication, and confidence rather than technical details. For anyone looking for an easy, beginner-friendly introduction to strap-on toys, complete kits provide a practical and reassuring starting point.

Strapless Strap-Ons

Strapless designs are shaped to be worn internally while also providing external penetration, allowing movement to be guided more directly by the wearer’s body rather than a harness. Many couples—including lesbian partners and other gender-diverse pairings—choose strapless strap-ons for the increased sense of connection, shared motion, and hands-free control they can provide.

Harness-Compatible Strap-On Dildos

Traditional strap-on systems pair a wearable harness with a compatible dildo held in place by an O-ring or similar support. These setups offer stability, adjustable positioning, and a wide range of sizes and shapes, making them one of the most versatile options for both beginners and experienced users.

Vibrating Strap-Ons

Vibrating strap-ons add built-in or compatible vibration to traditional strap-on designs, creating additional stimulation for one or both partners during use. Some styles include integrated motors within the dildo or base, while others are designed to work with removable vibrating bullets or remote-control features for adjustable intensity.

Hollow Strap-Ons for Men

Hollow strap-ons are designed to fit over existing anatomy and may be used to provide additional firmness, extension, or altered shape during penetration. These styles are often explored by couples looking for new sensations, confidence, or creative ways to expand partnered intimacy.

How to Choose the Right Strap-On Toy

Choosing the right strap-on starts with understanding how you plan to use it. Strap-ons vary widely in function, size, and materials, so narrowing down your priorities first makes the decision much easier.

1. Start With Function & Experience Level

Think about how the strap-on will be used before choosing a specific model. Different functions are designed for very different experiences.

• Beginner exploration – Starter kits with a balanced harness and medium-size dildo offer the easiest entry point and remove the guesswork for first-time users.
• Hands-free or shared-motion play – Strapless or internally anchored designs create closer body contact and more natural movement between partners.
• Added stimulation – Vibrating strap-ons or dual-stimulation designs enhance sensation for the wearer, the receiver, or both.
• Couples intimacy during penetration – Slimmer, ergonomic shapes are often preferred for longer sessions and easier control.
• Hollow strap-ons for men – Hollow or extender-style designs are created for male users seeking added length, firmness, or confidence during penetration while maintaining body contact and sensation.

Defining the primary goal—comfort, connection, stimulation, or performance—quickly reduces the number of options to consider.

2. Choose the Right Size & Shape

Size and fit are among the most important comfort factors when choosing a strap-on, especially for beginners. This includes not only the dildo itself, but also the harness fit and—when applicable—the internal sizing of hollow designs.

• Beginner-friendly sizes are typically in the 5–7 inch length range with slimmer diameters, offering easier insertion and more comfortable control.
• Intermediate to advanced users may prefer thicker girth, longer shafts, or more pronounced curves for targeted stimulation.
• Curved or ergonomic shapes are often designed to reach the G-spot or P-spot, providing more precise internal pressure depending on anatomy and positioning.

Beyond the insertable toy:

• Proper harness sizing and fit are essential for stability and comfort. Some harnesses offer fully adjustable straps to fit a wide range of waist or hip measurements, while panty-style designs rely on selecting the correct size for a secure, body-hugging feel. In either case, a snug and stable fit helps prevent shifting during movement and improves overall control.
• Hollow strap-on interior sizing is equally important for male users. The internal diameter and depth should provide a snug, supportive fit without excessive tightness or pressure.

Matching the toy size, harness fit, and internal support to experience level and body comfort helps prevent discomfort and improves overall satisfaction.

3. Consider Material & Flexibility

Material affects feel, safety, and durability.

• Body-safe silicone remains the most trusted premium option—non-porous, soft, and easy to clean.
• Firm inner cores with softer outer layers balance stability and comfort.
• Flexible vs. rigid designs influence realism, thrust control, and positioning.

For hygiene and long-term use, non-porous materials are generally the best choice.

4. Harness Fit, Compatibility & Future Upgrades

A well-fitting harness makes a major difference in comfort and control—but compatibility also matters for long-term use.

• Adjustable straps and ergonomic padding improve stability during longer sessions.
• Interchangeable O-ring or modular systems allow different dildos to be swapped as preferences evolve.
• Choosing an expandable platform—such as Vac-U-Lock compatible systems or trusted modular brands like Strap-On-Me—can make future upgrades easier without replacing the entire setup.

Many users prefer modular systems because they provide greater flexibility, better long-term value, and broader toy compatibility as experience levels grow.

Care & Safe Use Tips

A few simple habits help keep strap-on toys comfortable, hygienic, and long-lasting.

• Use lubricant to reduce friction and improve comfort. Water-based lubes are the safest choice for most strap-on materials.
• Clean before and after use with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner.
• Allow all parts to fully dry before storage, especially harnesses and straps.
• Store toys in a cool, dry place, ideally in a pouch or separate compartment.

Proper care improves comfort, supports body-safe play, and helps extend the life of your strap-on setup.
