Things to Know When Shopping for Beginner Strap-Ons
As we mentioned, there are multiple types of strap-ons, differentiating in terms of dildo sizes, harness types, attachment styles, materials, etc. Below, you’ll find a few consideration points that can help you decide on your next purchase:
- Harness type: when discussing strap-ons, the harness type is the first thing you must decide on. While jockstraps, thongs, and underwear harnesses are the most common, other unique options resemble one or more of these categories. Finding the right fit can be tricky, so take your measurements and compare them to the instructions on the packaging for a perfect fit.
- Dildo attachment style: some harnesses feature permanently attached dildos, while others have an O-ring in the crotch area where you can fit O-harness compatible models. If you want to take things further, you can opt for strap-on kits with adjustable O-rings, allowing you to fit and use different-sized dildos.
- Dildo Size & Shape: if you happen to choose a strap-on with included dildo in the packaging, you need to keep in mind how their size and shape relate to the type of sex you want to experience. For beginners, it’s best to choose smaller-sized dildos with a smaller width that will make anal sex or pegging feel pleasurable from the first try and reduce the chance of unnecessary injuries.
- Vibrating Features: If you want to enjoy thrusting into your partner with powerful pulsations, it’s best to go for strap-ons that feature a vibrating dildo that allows you to customize your experience. Another option is to get a harness with pockets for bullet vibrators; although they feature less variety in vibrations, they can be equally powerful when delivering pleasure.
The Bottom Line
Here, we shared the best beginner-friendly strap-ons we have in our store. We believe that any couple can benefit from such a toy, especially couples who want a break from their comfort zone and experience new sensations. Find out more user-how-to guides in our blog.
