Good for Pegging in the Shower

This basic and comfortable fabric harness is made of nylon webbing on the straps, and neoprene on the front piece. It comes with a "beginner's" smallish rubber/jelly dildo, and seems custom-made for people wanting to try anal in the shower. It fits hips up to 60 inches, so most people, large or small, should be able to wear it.

Use

This toy is part of the Sportsheets line designed specifically for aiding shower sex, and the neoprene of the front piece dries quickly (although the straps, not so much - see below). The suggestively titled "Beginner's waterproof harness and dildo set" doesn't specify that it's designed with pegging in mind; but the picture on the cover of the box suggests it. Specifically, a man is shown embracing a woman wearing the harness in the shower. The relatively small size of the rubber dildo, .875 inches wide and 5 inches long, also suggests it was intended for anal use. The flare at the base of the dildo holds it in the harness and also makes it safe for anal use on its own. The purple dildo curves up slightly and has subtle ridges, but I do not usually sleep with people who have prostrates, so I can't speak to whether this would prove stimulating.

Of course, you can use it with other dildos under 1.5 inches thick, for vaginal sex, blowjobs, or whatever you please.

Material

The dildo is made of "rubber" but feels and smells like it's closer to a rubber jelly, none of which are very body-safe material. You should probably put a condom on this before using it, and definitely before sharing it. It emits a rather strong chemical odor and has tiny imperfections on its surface.

The neoprene pad on the harness is very comfortable against the body of the wearer, and will dry quickly. The fabric straps are also very comfortable. Unfortunately, the nylon webbing straps are not water-resistant and absorb a great deal of water. It will all air dry overnight, in a warm dry environment.

Design / Craftsmanship

It's a simple and basic design, with one strap around the waist and one around each upper thigh. The straps are completely adjustable and fit a wide range of bodies, including large ones. They'll also fit smaller bodies well, and can be easily trimmed once you find the right fit. The neoprene front pad does make this harness more water-friendly than other fabric harnesses, but not by a whole lot.

This is a simply-made harness, not an heirloom. It looks made to last long enough, but not for life.

Size / Fit

This is definitely a great harness in terms of size. It can be adjusted to fit somebody with a tiny waist, but also fits my large body very well. It fits up to 60" hips/waist.

Even though the strap that goes around your waist or hips is very generously sized, the thigh straps seem less so. If you have especially full thighs you should measure around your upper thigh, following the area indicated in the photo, and make sure it's not more than 30 inches.

Performance

The main drawback with this harness in my eyes, is that the O-ring is not exchangeable. It's fairly easy to install and remove the smallish dildo it comes with, and it will fit most dildos up to 1.25 or 1.5 inches, but it's certainly not going to accommodate a 2-inch cock. On the plus side, the straps do move to accommodate dildos with wide bases.

Otherwise, it performs well. It's easy to adjust, comfortable to wear, and stays put while you thrust. I really like the slight cushion that the neoprene provides - no more soreness from thrusting!

Care and Maintenance

You could wash this on the gentle cycle or by hand. Drying it in the dryer would probably be too damaging.

Packaging

It comes in a simple box adorned with naughty color photos of a hetero couple in the shower. No instructions came with this product, but there was an informative insert included that described a whole line of "sex in the shower" products. Some of these products are really quite inventive: a dual shower-head, vibrating sponges, locking suction handles, handcuffs, and foot rests.

    I'm a little confused... you say it was designed for sex in the shower but isn't waterproof?
  • Contributor: Safo Garcia
    Good question. It's not intended to be water-proof; I guess only plastic straps would have accomplished that, and that would by mighty uncomfortable. The Neoprene front piece is water resistant and dries easily, but the nylon straps need a little time to dry. The makers clearly market it as intended for the shower, and it is better suited to the shower than any leather harness and will dry more easily than most fabric ones, but it's not water-proof.

    It looks like there isn't anything on the harness that would be damaged by being wet, though (no snaps to rust or leather to be messed up).
  • Contributor: Safo Garcia
    Yes, exactly. Nothing on this harness will be damaged if it gets wet. It just needs a little time to dry.
