What Is a Strap-On?

A strap-on is a dildo mounted on a wearable base — usually a harness of adjustable straps — so the wearer can penetrate a partner hands-free, with their hips doing the work. It’s the one toy where the person wearing it and the person receiving it can be any combination you like.

The category splits into two camps: harness-based designs (a strap system plus a shaft, sometimes sold separately) and self-holding designs — hollow strap-ons worn over your own gear, and strapless strap-ons the wearer holds internally. Browse the full strap-on range to see both camps side by side before you commit.

Are Strap-Ons Right for You?

If you’re curious about pegging, want to add size or staying power to the equation, or just like the idea of trading places for a night, a strap-on is the toy that does it. It’s the most versatile piece of kit in the bedroom, full stop.

It earns its keep three ways. For couples exploring pegging, it’s the whole event — and pairing it with a warm-up from our butt plugs guide makes the first session ten times smoother. For blokes, a hollow strap-on means the night runs on your schedule, not your body’s. And for anyone, a vibrating or double-ended model turns one toy into a shared experience rather than a one-way street.

Straight talk on the trade-offs: there’s a learning curve. Harnesses need adjusting, thrusting with your hips instead of feeling every move takes a session or two to master, and communication matters more than with any other toy. None of that is a dealbreaker — it’s just why your first one should be simple.

Types of Strap-Ons: Which One Suits You?

There are four main types — harness sets, hollow, strapless and vibrating designs — and the right one comes down to who’s wearing it and how much gear you want to manage. Rule of thumb: the fewer straps involved, the more experience it assumes.

Harness & dildo sets

The classic two-piece: an adjustable strap system with a shaft mounted on the front. It fits almost any body, the size can be modest or ambitious, and it’s the standard pick for pegging. Sets like the 6" Double Delight Strap On go a step further with a second stimulator for the wearer, so nobody’s left just doing the labour.

Hollow strap-ons

Built for him: a hollow shaft worn over your own equipment, held by straps around the waist and thighs. It adds length and girth instantly and keeps going no matter what the night is doing. The 6" Hollow Strap On is the textbook example — firm, adjustable and refreshingly uncomplicated.

Strapless strap-ons

No harness at all — a curved bulb the wearer holds internally, with the shaft extending out. That means sensation for both people at once, but it demands more body confidence from the wearer. The 7" Vibrating Strapless Strap On is the reference model, and the vibration makes the shared-sensation promise real.

Vibrating strap-ons

Any of the above with a motor on board. Vibration is the great equaliser in this category — it gives the wearer something back through the base and the receiver an extra channel of sensation. Worth the modest price jump on almost every model that offers it.

How to Choose Your First Strap-On

Choose your first strap-on on four points: size, fit, features and budget. Get size right and everything else is refinement.

Start smaller than you think

Your first shaft should be 4.5 to 6 inches with a slim profile — especially for pegging, where the receiver is usually new to it too. The 4.5" Beginner Strap On For Him exists for exactly this reason. Bigger is a second-purchase decision, never a first one.

Fit and comfort do the heavy lifting

A harness that slips mid-session kills the mood faster than anything. Look for wide, adjustable straps, a stable base plate, and a design that cinches around both waist and thighs. Hollow models should sit snug without pinching; strapless models rely on the wearer’s grip, so they suit people who already know their body well.

Features worth paying for

Vibration first — it transforms the wearer’s side of the deal. A wearer-side stimulator (like the Double Delight’s) is next. Removable or interchangeable shafts extend the toy’s life. Skip anything that promises everything at once; complexity is the enemy of a good first session.

Budget

The category runs roughly $41 to $105 at Naughty Boy. Solid hollow models start around $49–$71, harness sets sit in the $79–$105 band, and vibrating strapless designs top out around $96. Spend enough to get adjustable straps and body-safe materials; beyond that, pay only for features you’ll actually switch on.

Materials & Body-Safety

Most strap-ons pair a body-safe PVC or silicone shaft with fabric or vegan-leather straps — the shaft does the contact work, the straps do the holding. Silicone is the premium option: non-porous, easy to clean and soft-touch.

Buying rules: stick to body-safe materials from real brands, use water-based lube with any soft-material shaft (silicone lube can degrade silicone toys), and wash before first use. Smooth seams, sturdy stitching, no sharp edges on rings or buckles — that’s the whole checklist.

How to Use a Strap-On

Adjust the harness until it’s snug before anything else starts, use plenty of water-based lube, and let the receiver set the pace — that one sentence is 90% of the technique. Our lube guide covers which bottle belongs in the drawer.

Wearers: thrust from the hips, start shallow and slow, and remember you can’t feel what the receiver feels — so ask. Receivers: warm up first, breathe, and call the depth and speed. Pegging first-timers should treat the first session as a scouting mission, not a summit attempt.

Hollow-model wearers have it easiest: straps on, lube up, carry on as normal — just gentler than usual, because you can’t feel your own depth. Whoever’s wearing it, the golden rule holds: the receiver runs the session.

Care, Cleaning & Storage

Wash the shaft with toy cleaner or warm soapy water after every session, wipe the straps down, dry everything fully and store it in a pouch — that’s the entire routine.

• Detach the shaft from the harness (where the design allows) and clean both separately.
• Air-dry fabric straps completely before storing — damp webbing doesn’t age well.
• Keep vibrating models’ battery compartments dry and pull the batteries out between sessions.
• Store away from other soft-material toys so surfaces never sit in contact long-term.
