An Optical Illusion

The Sasha Harness is a harness that appeared to have a great deal of sex appeal to it. It's available in the color options of red and black. This is a comfortable, sturdy, and functional harness. However, the quality of the harness is not so good. It's sizing is also off.

Use

The Sasha harness is a panty style harness. It's designed to have comfort and durability for uses such as pegging, packing, or strap-on sex. This is a harness that is meant for female wears because of it's feminine appearance. This harness probably wouldn't work as a male harness because there is some mesh inside to keep the dildo secure. This would probably make it difficult for a male wearer.

Sasha harness is good for any entry level of user, but the price might be questionable for beginners. However, it's a good sturdy harness that will last a long time, so if you have the means to purchase it; it's a good option to consider.

When you purchase your harness, the package is a nice box with tissue paper inside. Once you open it up, the harness is inside along with two carrying pouches and a plastic bag with 4 removable garters.

Material

If you search for a tag, you won't find an actual tag. This is because there is a tag-less tag stamped inside the mesh area on the front of the harness. According to this information, the harness is made of 77% Nylon and 23% Spandex. The feel of this material is comparable to bathing suit material. It's silky to the touch with some stretch to it. The stretch is more in the back of the harness, in the "butt" area, rather than the waist area. The material does feel very durable, but it can snag easily. Keep it away from sharp corners to avoid this from happening. If you hold the material up to the light, it is see thru, but only slightly. When the harness is in use, the material is extremely comfortable. It feels thick and durable, but it's also breathable.

Design / Craftsmanship

Front


Back



The Sasha harness is designed to look like a pair of regular underwear. There is a thick waistband with a bow in the front. The front is normal panty style with the exception of the single hole in the front middle. There appears to be no actual O ring inside, but if there is one, it's like a rubber band with the amount it stretches. There is no seam on the side of these panties, but there is a stitched seam slightly off from the side. This seam is from the internal mesh that is stitched inside to secure the dildo. Instead, where the seam would be is two draw strings to ruch the panty. The back of the harness or the butt area is solid material with a single elastic band that runs vertical. This single elastic band is really thin and runs right down the "crack." The back and the front are stitched together on the "crotch" area. There is a boarder around the thigh openings. This boarder is made of of elastic, so the thigh openings can stretch some. There is also four loops stitched on this boarder, one on each thigh, and in the front and back; these are for the removable garters.





Moving on to the inside: Inside the harness, on the front, is two mesh flaps to create a barrier between your skin and the dildo. This will help secure the dildo into place.

Quality
The stitching is not very good. It's uneven in many places. There is multiple fraying and lose strings in a number of places. There is no panty liner inside this harness. Where the draw strings are, the holes for them aren't stitched to prevent fraying. So, the material will fray overtime in that place. There are places you can see the stitching was done multiple times and they went far too fast. There is even white fuzz hanging out of the stitching. There are images so you can see the quality issues.

Size / Fit

The Sasha harness is available in sizes XS-3x. The Size Chart says:

Hip Measurements
XS= 26 - 28"
S= 29 - 32"
M= 33 - 37"
L= 38 - 40"
XL= 41 - 44"
2x= 45 - 48"
3x= 49 - 52"

This sizing should account for most users. The size chart seems to be accurate, but is slightly off. The XL is said to fit 41-44" hips. However, it was tested on 42" hips and was found to be slightly tight, but not to the point where it didn't fit. Go with your size, but if you want it to be more flattering, order up.

Personal Fitting
I measure 42" in the hips, so I have ordered the XL. XL is my usual size, but sometimes bottom clothing, I can wear a L. I wear a size 14 in jeans. I Googled the size chart so I knew what the company recommended on size. I debated on getting the L because I thought the harness would have some stretch due to the material, but I went with the XL to be on the safe side. I could have went for a 2x to make the harness more flattering.

The harness measures 34" with no stretch, but 39" with stretching. This is the waist measurement. This is smaller than what the harness should be to fit properly. It seems like this should be the measurements for the L. The thigh area measures 24" with no stretch and 27.5" with stretching. This means the best fit for the XL is someone with a max of 40" hips and 28" thighs. Though, there is room for larger sizes, it won't be as flattering as it should be!

Performance

Despite the sizing issue, I am able to wear the harness. I paired it with Happy Valley Perk. This is a dildo that measures 1.5" in diameter, so it works with 1.5" - 2" O rings. This dildo fit great inside the harness. The best fit for the O ring is 1.5" - 2" in diameter toys.

The harness is very comfortable to wear. It feels like wearing panties, but almost high waisted panties. There is no chaffing or rubbing. It doesn't get hot because of the breathable material. The dildo stands at attention and stays into place very well no matter the position. You don't need to guide the dildo while in use unless you want to.

This harness is excellent for performance, but it does have flaws.

Care and Maintenance

According to the tag, you can hand or machine wash in warm water. The cycle should be gentle. There should be like colors washed with this this harness. And always use a mild soap with no bleach, but don't use fabric softener. You should tumble dry gently on low heat, line dry, or lay flat to dry. You should never iron it.

I have opted to hand wash the harness. My washer is only hooked up to hot water, so I don't like washing dedicates on the washer. I didn't notice too much color bleeding, but that doesn't mean you won't. I also opted to hang dry the harness instead of using the dryer. If it says it can be machine washed, but also list hand washing instructions, I always go with hand washing. I would worry the waist band could get twisted in the machines and the material could fray faster with machine washing. I recommend the hand washing route. If you opt to do the machine route, I would use a lingerie bag.

I have been storing the harness in it's original box because it's so nice. However, it comes with two storage pouches for you to store your harness and your choice of cock.

I have never noticed that a harness recommends what lube to use, but the Sasha harness does. The tag-less tag recommends water and silicone based lube only. This must be because oil based lubes would stain the material.

Packaging



The packaging is good for storage and gifting. I wouldn't worry about wrapping because it's presentable as is.

Personal comments





The one pouch is a mesh bag with a draw string. It's the same mesh that inside the harness. This is the one I would opt to store a dildo inside.



The other pouch looks like the harness. It's red with a cute black bow. The top flips up to reveal a zipper. once you unzip it there are two bronze and antique looking buttons. There are loops around these buttons. If you undo them, you can see this pouch has a wall inside to hide stuff behind the other. So, you can stuff the harness inside and still have room to stuff at least one dildo inside that pouch. I was able to stuff one dildo and two vibrators. I stuffed inside Perk and 2 Uma's.



You get four removable garters with this harness. Should you need replacements, they are available here. These garters are made of elastic with a plastic adjustor. There is ribbon over the clips. These clips are black metal with rubber backs. They are adjustable 5.5" - 9.25".

Experience

I had asked for the Sasha harness to be added to the stock on the Eden Should Carry Thread. I was even more excited to get the assignment for it. When it arrived, I had to try it on as soon as possible.

As I started pulling it up my legs and as I got to my thighs, I could feel that it was slightly tight. It was like putting on a wet bathing suit. But slowly, I was able to pull it up all the way. I noticed the waist band lacked in stretching. I was able to put it on my 42" hips and there is room for larger measurements, but I had muffin topping. I do usually have some muffin topping from my love handles and my mommy tummy, but this was too much.

My first reaction to the harness was "this isn't what I thought it was going to be." My partners first comment to me was GGW. This usually stands for girls gone wild, but he was saying "grannies" gone wild.

This is because the harness in the back is so unflattering and it reminds him of "granny" panties or high waisted underwear. The elastic band that runs vertical in the back is one of it's biggest down falls. It really highlights your crack. It looks like you have a permanent wedgie. In order to make the harness less like high waisted underwear they have added the two draw strings on the side to ruch it up, but this also means you have to wear the harness down lower. So, if you pulled it up to have less muffin top, but ruched it to make more attractive, it won't work. You can't have both! So, I can't decide which is worse for me.

It is my opinion that this harness will look best on the petite. Those who are petite shouldn't have the muffin top issue, and you will be able to ruch it like it needs to be. It needs the ruching to have it's sex appeal! It also needs the garters to have it's sex appeal too. Otherwise, it looks like a pair or regular high waisted underwear with a hole cut out in the front.

I am sad to report, I am disappointed. It's great harness for it's use. However, with the quality and the sizing issues, I can't give it 4 or 5 stars. To me, this is a 3 star harness.

    loved all the pictures you posted and appreciated you listing your sizes and discussing the way the product fit.

    @Novanilla I completely disagree. The comment comes off as they are defending their product and not taking my feedback as advice to fix their product. Therefore equals a company I have boycotted.
  • Contributor: Silverdrop
    Thank you for this review. This was something I wanted because it looked so pretty on the product page, but the price was so high. I'm glad I didn't spend the money now. I don't think it would look good on me, and those quality issues are what I'd expect to see on a $20 piece of lingerie, not a $150 harness!
