Waist size, how about hip size?

I'm really loving the look of the new RodeoH harnesses.

I'm concerned, though---my waist size usually fits in the small end of the medium spectrum, but my hip size usually fits in the large end of the large spectrum.

How do these harnesses' waist-to-hip ratios come out? I'm 28" in the waist by 42" at the hip---would the 29"max waist fit me? I generally wear men's pants with a 32" waist, but I wear them so that the waist rides where my body actually happens to be 32". Would the same approach work with these harnesses?

Everyone has different looks. With your numbers, you could look smoking hot in the harness and if you take it off, well gravity has your number. It does not matter. Whatever makes you happy and can trigger and stimulate your partner is all that counts. And, that fact that you show interest and like to do things for your partner. You just won the race; go get some PRIZE. Your a winner. All the Best and lots of sex. And this is coming from a man with his budda, on. LOL. (meaning, I am a big roundish guy)Your attitude looks fantastic and I am sure your friends are happy to be; your friends.
B+ Positive. It is my motto and my blood type.

I don't know how approachable the company is, but maybe send them an email asking how to best go about measuring for their harness? Hopefully, though, someone on the forum will have experience with these and can help ya out. (I'm totally going to be stalking the answers to this thread. I want a Rodeoh harness too, and have a ridiculous waist/hip ratio as well)

I'm in a bit of a different boat with not much difference between my waist/hip ratio. I wear all my pants just above the hip anyway, so I ordered based on my hip measurement. I'm thinking that since the hole is fairly high up (for a harness) if you want the cock to sit anywhere near your crotch, go closer to the hip measurement.

Eden lists these based on their maximum measurement, but RodeoH lists them on their website in ranges, as in 27-29, 30-32. My hips measure about a 31", so I ordered the 30-32, which EF just lists as 32... I'll let ya know when they get here!

I was actually wondering something similar.

My waist is very small, at about a 28"-30" and my hips are about a 46" Would I even be able to find the right size?

I hope that someone can get some updates on this. marking this on my alerts.

It IS HIP SIZE. I have not clue why Eden has it as waist size and why they don't list the sizes as ranges as they should be...

Check out my review for more info. I'll be done with it in a few...

I received the 27-29" which is Eden's 29". I have 38.5" hips and it is very tight on me. I can squeeze into them, but it is clearly the wrong size. I have a size 30" waist. So...NO that size will not fit you. You will need the 35" on EF.

Thanks for that info Lauren, that definitely makes things easier for us. Now if we can just find a replacement for the discontinued beige Mistress dildo, we'll be ready to place our order

They ended up fitting great. I would advise anyone interested in RodeoHs to ignore their waist size and order based on the hip measurement. If you are inbetween two sizes, order the smaller one.

I just got my Rodeo harness. I wear pant sizes 5-6, or waist size that's 26". I ordered the 24"/xs for the harness) and it fits perfectly! It's a bit tight around the thigh area, but i'm digging the looks .

I checked out the RodeoH website, and they have a video on sizing the harness. It shows them measuring around the hips, not the waist, so you are probably better off getting a size that fits your hip measurement.
If you want to check out the video, the link is here.

Hi all! The rodeoh is onsale and my gf's birthday is coming up so I need your help quickly!! My gf is a size 27" hip. I'm confused as to whether or not those in this thread (and others) agree that it runs small or not? I would imagine that you'd want the fit to be snug to hold the dildo well, so I'm having trouble choosing the right size... Meaning: should I order EF's 29" (meant to fit 27"-29" hips) or EF's 24" (meant to fit 24"-26" hips). Please help if you have any thoughts on this or experience to speak from!! Thanks in advance

I'm so happy Lauren and Rawhide posted! I've been hesitant on purchasing the briefs because my hips and waist sizes are very different. Good to know it goes by hip size. Thanks!
