The Doggie Style Strap's only flaw lies in the way it undersells itself. The name itself implies that the prop has limited use; that it's good for one position only. This couldn't be further from the truth. The Doggie Style Strap can be worked into most positions with a little creativity. Missionary, spooning, cowgirl, wheelbarrow, anal, and many other positions can be enhanced with this little helper.

The packaging and instructions feature a heterosexual couple, while in reality this strap will work for just about any pairing. Lesbians in particular will wonder how they ever had strap-on sex without it.

It should also be noted that this strap is BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) friendly. It easily and comfortably accommodates my 52" hips with room to spare.

Using the strap is simple. You simply wrap it around your partner's waist, hold the straps, and enjoy the ride of your life. The strap gives you greater control, making thrusting almost effortless. Your partner will enjoy deeper penetration as well as a more relaxed position.

The Doggie Style Strap is surprisingly well made. The plush 14.5" foam pad is thick enough to be comfortable, yet not so thick as to be unwieldy. Each of the nylon straps adjust to about 16", making the strap ideal for most body types.

While the strap isn't listed as waterproof, all of its materials should be tub or shower safe. Just be sure to properly dry it before storing to prevent mildew.

This device should be packaged and sold with every strap-on. It solves the stability issues that so many of these toys have. Because the wearer is able to hold their partner closer, it eliminates the chance of accidentally falling out. My lover and I were even able to properly use our Feeldoe, a feat formerly deemed impossible.

The Doggie Style Strap makes good on its promises. Bending over has never been this much fun. The strap makes this position more comfortable, pleasurable, and enjoyable. It's also wonderful to use the Doggie Style in the missionary position. In this case, the strap wraps around the back of the partner on top. The partner on the bottom holds the straps and controls the movements. This strap adds new excitement to old positions.

The Doggie Style Strap comes in a plastic clamshell package. The cardboard inserts show a man and a woman demonstrating the product. While the pose is obviously provocative, both models are wearing underwear. The overall effect is a package that's neither discreet nor offensive. Additional information on the outer packaging includes suggestions for angles that can be achieved with the strap. A small feature that's easy to miss but should be noted is the limited lifetime warranty seal. Further information can be found on the Sportsheets website.

The included instructions consist of a small folded sheet of paper featuring the same couple from the box. Inside are features and tips for trying your new strap. All of it is pretty common sense. There are no cleaning or care instructions.

The clamshell box can easily be used for travel or storage. Just remove the cardboard insert for discretion. The instructions can be hidden as well inside of the folded strap. If you choose not to keep the packaging, it's good to note that everything is recyclable. The clamshell is made of PET (Type 1) plastic which nearly all recycling centers take.

There are no manufacturer cleaning instructions available for the Doggie Style, so it's best to just spot clean it as necessary.

Storage is easy. The strap can be folded and kept in most small spaces. The original packaging makes an excellent storage case. The strap itself is so discreet that it can be left out in the open.
