Things You Should Pay Attention to When Shopping for a Peging Strap-On
When you’re buying a strap-on for pegging, you’re essentially buying two toys: a harness and a dildo. While they may be bought separately, a variety of models include these items together as a kit to streamline the buying process. Regardless if you’re buying them together or separately, there are a few things to pay attention to when choosing a pegging strap-on:
Type: As we just mentioned, pegging dildos can be bought separately or as a strap-on dildo kit. Strap-on kits are the easiest option for beginners, but most people usually choose to get the two items separately due to their personal preferences. If you’re still exploring your sex desires and kinks or buying your first pegging strap-on, a pegging strap-on kit would be the safest option. However, if you’re already experienced with pegging, it would be a good idea for the person that will do the penetration to choose the strap-on and the other person to choose the dildo they love.
Style: Strap-on harnesses usually come in three main styles: jockstrap, underwear, and thong. Jockstraps have straps around the waist and over each butt cheek, while underwear harnesses look like a pair of underwear or boxers and have no straps. As their name suggests, thongs have a strap that goes between the legs and between the butt cheeks, just like a thong. Some other styles aren’t so common but still may fit your style: strapless strap-ons that require no hardness, chin, thigh, or chest harness, and suspender hardnesses.
Harness size: To be able to use the harness comfortably, it has to fit you perfectly. Jockstrap and thong harnesses come in one or two sizes that fit different body shapes, while underwear harnesses are sized as the regular clothing articles. If you want to share the harness with your partner, you should go for an adjustable harness that would fit both your and your partner’s body.
Dildo size: The type of harness you choose should depend on the dildo, or the dildo’s size, to be more specific. For instance, if you want to use a smaller dildo, you could go with any harness style, but if you’re a king dildo enthusiast, you wouldn’t be able to use it with an underwear-style harness. You would instead need a harness with straps you can tighten to get the support you need.
Material: When buying a strap-on, there are several material options available. The material matters not only because of how comfortable it will be to wear but also how easy it will be to clean and maintain it. Usually, strap-ons are made of leather or fabric, both with their specific pros and cons. While fabric strap-ons are more comfortable and easier to wash, leather strap-ons are much stronger and look sexier. On the other hand, leather is not porous, so it can’t be shared between people, which is not the case with washable materials. And finally, leather can support bigger dildos, while fabric strap-ons won’t be able to support the weight due to the lightness of the material.
Comfort: You may wear the strap on for a few minutes, or you may wear it even for hours, so it has to be comfortable. You may prefer having straps to tighten the harness on yourself or prefer strapless models. Then, there is also the material. Everyone has different preferences about the material and what they find comfortable or restrictive to wear. Depending on the duration and intensity of your playing, the harness should also be made of soft materials and parts that won’t hurt you or your partner.
Dildo compatibility: Last but definitely not least, you need to look at the O-ring, or the circle through which you need to stick the dildo. It has to be the correct size for the dildo you will be using, so make sure the diameters match if you’re buying them separately. Strap-ons can have one or multiple O-rings with varying sizes to accommodate different dildos, which is an added thing to consider if both you and your partner want to use the toy.
