Sex Fact: Types of Strap-On Harnesses

Contributor: Kayla Kayla
When it comes to purchasing a strap-on harness, there are a large variety of types of strap-on harnesses out there. Here are some of the most popular as well as examples of ones here on EdenFantasys.

Two-Strap: Shaped like a jockstrap, the two strap harness features two straps on it. It braces the dildo firmly up against the pubic bone, and it also allows for the wearer's genitals to be fully accessible. See Double-Strap Harnesses.

Thong: A Thong, or g-string, harness is a harness that resembles a pair of thong or g-string panties with a single strap that runs between the legs. The single strap can stimulate the clitoris during thrusting and penetration. See g-string harnesses.

Full-cover harness: Looking like a pair of biking shorts many times, these harnesses provide more cover than the previous kind. See panty harnesses.

Double penetrating harnesses: Made for those with a penis, the double-penetration harness allows for use of two toys or a penis and a toy. This allows for insertion for both anal play and vaginal play at the same time. See harnesses for men.

Everywhere But the Torso: Not only can you wear strap-ons around your torso, but strap-on harnesses are now being developed for other body parts as well. Whether the chin, forehead, hand, chest, or thigh, there's a strap-on for it! See harnesses for legs, arms, and more.

The information for this post comes from the new "Tickle My Tush" book by Dr. Sadie Allison. We carry two other of Sadie Allison's books including Tickle His Pickle and Ride 'em Cowgirl.

I know some people swear by their harnesses but seriously there has got to be other options.

This looks fun.

For use with our Feeldoes, I've found that a thong style harness works out better. But I love our Joque, so now what?! XP

You could look into the Theo! It's the same style as the Joque, but in a thong-style harness.

We love the ones that are compatible with double-enders like Share or Feeldoe.

I like the hand and thigh harnesses the best.

Like MeliPixi we find the thong type right for use with the Feeldoe/Share style dildos. We realised that this type of dildo really does not need to be threaded through a ring but just needs some support to hold it in and firmly against the clit. To this end we have made a harness that is rather like a low cut thong but supported with a full waist-band so that it can give good tension on the three straps supporting the dildo. The additional advantage of this type of harness is that it is easily slipped on after the dildo bulb has been inserted into the wearer.

I find the two-strap style offers really excellent support of the dildo and gives me great control. Interested in trying the RodeoH style too.

I haven't tried enough of these to really know, but so far I feel like the two-strap style has the most support to it

Our first harness was a two strap, we upgraded with another two strap.

Two-strap is classic, but full coverage seems more comfortable/natural to me.

We're still testing the waters when it comes to harnesses. My first one was the pleasure principle harness that can be switched from 2-strap to thong style. Then I got a rodeoh. I love all the styles but each has it's perks. The rodeoh is really comfortable, the thong is great for holding in my we-vibe at the same time and the 2-strap gives me great control!

My favorite is the two strap. It just gives the most stability, and I find the most comfortable. However, I haven't ever tried a full coverage one yet.

Didn't realize the different types, thanks! Have been looking for a pillow harness for my Fetish Fantasy dildo's to try other than in the shower. Thanks for the useful info!

I currently have a thigh strap on & a two strap one. Got a "Heeldo" coming in the mail as well.

Never even thought of categorizing them! I'd like the two strap most likely

The 2 strap is better, cause it does not move around then.

My wife likes her Jaguar (two-strap) and Joque (full-coverage) the best so far. We just got the Adjustable which is also a two-strap, but with a four-strap dildo ring. I'm hoping we'll try it this evening!
