Hey there, are you curious about strap-on dildos? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Strap-ons may seem intimidating, but they can be a lot of fun, whether you’re solo or playing with a partner. So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what they are, how to use them, and how to keep them clean!
What is a Strap-On Dildo?
First things first, let’s start with the basics: what is a strap-on dildo? A strap-on dildo is a sex toy designed to be worn around the waist or hips, usually using a harness. The dildo itself is attached to the harness and is designed to be inserted into the vagina, anus, or any other orifice for penetration. There are some strap on dildos that strap to your partners thigh, chin, or head, but they all perform the same purpose.
Uses for Strap-On Dildos
Strap-on dildos can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Enhancing Penetration - Strap-on dildos can be used to penetrate a partner anally or vaginally, providing a different type of stimulation than fingers or a penis.
- Role-Playing - Strap-on dildos can be used in role-playing scenarios, such as BDSM or dominant/submissive play.
- Solo Play - Strap-on dildos can be used for solo play to stimulate the G-spot or prostate, or to explore different power dynamics.
- Gender Expression - Strap-on dildos can be used by people of all genders as a way to express their gender identity or explore their sexuality.
Types of Strap-On Dildos
Strap-on dildos come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different needs and preferences. Some common types of strap-on dildos include:
- Realistic Dildos - These are designed to look and feel like a real penis, with details such as veins and ridges. They can be made from silicone, rubber, or other materials.
- Non-Realistic Dildos - These can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and may not resemble a penis at all. They can be made from silicone, glass, metal, or other materials.
- Double-Ended Dildos - These are designed to be used by two partners at once. They have a dildo on both ends, and can be used for simultaneous penetration.
- Hollow Strap-Ons - These are designed for men who have erectile dysfunction or want to increase the size of their penis. The dildo is hollow, and the man can insert his penis inside it to create a larger, more rigid erection.
The Harnesses
When it comes to strap-on dildos, the harness is just as important as the dildo itself. A good harness should fit comfortably and securely, allowing you to move and thrust without worry. There are several different types of harnesses available, each with their own pros and cons.
- Jockstrap Harness: A jockstrap harness is a simple design that consists of straps that go around the waist and between the legs, similar to a jockstrap. This type of harness is easy to put on and take off, and provides good stability and control.
- G-String Harness: A g-string harness has a similar design to a jockstrap harness, but with thinner straps that go between the buttocks. This can be more comfortable for some people, as it provides less coverage and allows for more freedom of movement.
- Corset Harness: A corset harness is a more elaborate design that includes a laced-up corset, which provides extra support and control. This type of harness can be more adjustable than other types, allowing you to find the perfect fit.
- Panty Harness: A panty harness is designed to look like a pair of panties, with a pocket to hold the dildo. This type of harness can be more comfortable and discreet, as it looks like regular underwear.
- Thigh Harness: A thigh harness is a unique design that straps the dildo to your thigh, rather than your waist. This type of harness is great for hands-free stimulation, and can be especially fun for grinding or using in different positions.
When choosing a harness, it's important to consider factors such as comfort, control, adjustability, and style. Trying on different harnesses and experimenting with different types of dildos can help you find the perfect combination for your needs and preferences.
How to Use a Strap-On Dildo?
Regular Strap-On
Once you have your strap-on ready, it’s time to put it on. Make sure the harness is adjusted properly so that it fits snugly around your waist or hips. The dildo should be securely attached to the harness, so it doesn’t come loose during play.
Now, it’s time for the fun part – penetration! If you’re using a strap-on dildo with a partner, communication is key. Start with some foreplay, use lube, and take it slow. It may take some practice to get the right angle and depth, but once you find it, it can be a very satisfying experience for both partners.
If you’re using a strap-on dildo for solo play, you can use it to stimulate your own erogenous zones. You can also use it for role-playing scenarios or to explore different power dynamics.
We cannot emphasize this enough, if you're playing alone or with your partner, a high quality lube will make the difference between a well lubricated machine or a rusty one that barely even moves.

Double ended Strap-on
- Start by applying a water-based lubricant to both ends of the dildo. This will help with insertion and reduce friction.
- Choose which partner will insert the shorter end of the dildo into their body. This can be the partner who wants to penetrate or the partner who wants to receive penetration.
- Use your hand to guide the shorter end of the dildo into the vagina or anus. Make sure to go slow and communicate with your partner to ensure that they are comfortable and ready.
- Once the shorter end of the dildo is fully inserted, the partner who is wearing the dildo can use their muscles to hold it in place. This may take some practice, especially if the dildo is heavy or large.
Note that some double ended dildo's have harnesses to secure them. We would suggest starting with the harnessable double ended dildos as they are a bit less finicky and are better for beginners.
- The partner who is wearing the dildo can now use the longer end to penetrate their partner. Again, communication is key here. Make sure to go slow and check in with your partner to ensure that they are comfortable and enjoying themselves.
- Experiment with different positions and angles to find what works best for you and your partner. Remember to take breaks if needed, and to continue using lube as necessary.
- After you are finished using the dildo, clean it thoroughly with soap and water or a specialized sex toy cleaner. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Double-sided strap-on dildos can be a fun and versatile option for couples who want to try something new in the bedroom. With a little practice and communication, you can learn how to use a double-sided strap-on dildo without a harness and enjoy a whole new level of intimacy and pleasure with your partner.

How to clean a Strap-On Dildo?
- First, remove the dildo from the harness or any other attachments.
- If the dildo is made of silicone or glass, you can boil it in a pot of water for 5-10 minutes to sterilize it. Be sure to use a pot that you don't plan to use for cooking, and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't melt or get damaged.
- If boiling is not an option, you can also clean the dildo with warm water and soap. Use a mild soap and make sure to clean all surfaces of the dildo, including any ridges or bumps.
- If there are any crevices or hard-to-reach areas, you can use a soft-bristled brush or a toothbrush to gently scrub them.
- Rinse the dildo thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap residue.
- If you want to disinfect the dildo further, you can use a solution of 10% bleach and 90% water. Soak the dildo in the solution for 5-10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Once the dildo is clean and dry, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and storing your specific strap-on dildo, as some materials may require different cleaning methods.
