Why We Love Sex Toys: Psychology of Sex Toy Use

by Kate Miller on Jan 28 2026
Sex is a natural urge and quite essential for procreation. It is also a gratifying and satisfying activity that we highly recommend. Apart from having sex with a partner, the other option is to use sex toys. Believe us when we tell you the adult toy industry has come a long way since the invention of the first mechanized vibrator over 150 years ago. Another thing we must point out is that sex toys have become mainstream and readily accepted by society. Still, many find issues with sex toys, so here we’ll discuss the psychological aspect of using various sex toys. Please read on as we explain how sex toys influence one’s self-esteem, help with sexual satisfaction, and can improve relationship dynamics. What Are Sex Toys? Sex toys are objects or devices that are used for sexual play and sexual satisfaction. We love that many of these are designed to resemble human genitals like the penis and vagina. These can be manual like the dildos and pocket pussies and battery-operated models that can vibrate, thrust, suck, pulsate, heat up, or perform another movement. Their primary goal is to bring sexual stimulation and enhance sexual pleasure. Let’s now take a look at the psychological aspect of using sex toys and how these impact individuals and couples. Psychological Benefits of Sex Toys Let’s discuss the main topic of our article and outline the leading psychological effects sex toys have. The main thing we’ll start with is the fact that sex toys can enhance anyone’s sexual experience. There are sex toys for people of all experiences, so we suggest you look for the toy best suited to your experience level. The following psychological benefit sex toys bring is they help improve body positivity. Using a sex toy to explore your own body promotes a healthier outlook on your body image. It also allows you to overcome some of the negative misconceptions you may have about your body. It dramatically increases self-esteem, which positively affects the overall outlook on life. Using sex toys allows you to learn about your body and explore your sexual preferences. Exploring some sexual fantasies can be tricky, especially if you are afraid to share them with your partner or you want to try something new. But taking advantage of the correct sex toy can potentially lead to more fulfilling sexual experiences and discovering more of your desires. Sex and orgasms are therapeutic, so using sex toys to achieve more orgasms is excellent for your health. Also, one of the key effects of regular orgasms is the reduction of stress and anxiety, and, of course, better sleep and more profound relaxation. If you ask us, these are all great effects from regular sex toy use, which we highly recommend you try. Potential Issues with Sex Toy Use While we are all for self-exploration and sexual liberation, there are some potential issues related to sex toy use. Namely, the main one is becoming emotionally or psychologically dependent on sex toys, either for sexual satisfaction or for self-worth. It can become a real problem for people who are too reliant on sex toys and are not open to exploring things with an actual partner. Another potential issue of the over-use of sex toys is that these may establish unrealistic expectations of what a partner should provide. Also, similar to over-dependence on pornography, some sex toys may lead to unrealistic expectations about body image and partnered sex. Here, we need to mention some new technologies that are now found in many sex toys. We are talking about using VR technology in combination with sex toys, where people get a quasi-immersive sexual experience. While it may be a good and thrilling experience for some, we must pose the question of twisting reality and creating an unhealthy outlook on reality. Achieving an orgasm is both a physiological and a psychological experience and for some, doing this with a sex toy can bring a feeling of shame or guilt. It may be more common in people who come from cultures where sex toy use is not widespread or discussed openly. Overuse of some sex toys can have an adverse effect on the sensory sensitivity of the body, and some individuals may even become desensitized to regular stimulation and can only achieve orgasms via using sex toys. Sometimes, this can contribute to negative body images or concerns, like the question, “What is wrong with me?” However, moderate use of sex toys should not make any impact on this, which is why we always advise you to start low and go slow. Sex Toys Are Beneficial for Relationships Using sex toys in a relationship can have a positive effect on the partners. For one, it can enhance communication and significantly boost the intimacy between the partners. Just introducing the sex toy in the relationship and trying it once can be highly effective, as it forces the partners to talk about their expectations and share their hidden desires. It can help both partners fight any insecurity about their place in the relationship. But please note that for this, you both should approach the sex toy use with open minds and open communication. You both should accept that the sex toy is not a replacement for the partner but is meant to improve the relationship and provide mutual satisfaction. When done correctly, using sex toys in a relationship will strengthen the relationship. For this, we suggest you look for sex toys for couples or check out finger vibrators that are handy when you wish to add something extra to partnered sexy time. The remote-controlled vibrators and app-controlled sex toys also help bridge a distance gap, which positively affects any long-distance relationship and brings partners closer. By being able to share a sexual experience even when apart, a couple will experience a boost in intimacy, which brings comfort to the partners and further strengthens the relationship. Let’s also note that when you introduce sex toys into your relationship, you can challenge or even break the traditional gender norms. Think in terms of trying pegging or strap-on sex, and if you feel intrigued, then take a look at the specialized sex toys, and you’ll get some ideas. Who Should Use Sex Toys? There is no limit to who can use sex toys as long as we are talking about consenting adults. However, we must note that younger people are more likely to use sex toys; namely, they are more open to trying different things. However, there are many benefits from sex toys that older individuals can reap, especially people with limited mobility or other health issues. There may be some cultural boundaries related to sex toy use. Often, more conservative societies tend to have an adverse attitude towards sex toys. Personal upbringing also plays a role here, and this can sometimes have a strong psychological impact on how some people receive and use sex toys. Men & Women & Sex Toys When it comes to sex toys, women have more variety to choose from than men. It is mainly due to anatomy, as women can enjoy vaginal penetration, clitoral stimulation, and anal stimulation, as opposed to men, who are limited to penile and anal stimuli. Women can enjoy significant benefits from sex toys; namely, many sex toys are more inclined to provide sexual pleasure and female empowerment. Historically, women’s sexual pleasure was put in the background as opposed to male sexual pleasure. But sex toys changed this, and women were free to explore their sexuality and find new ways towards sexual pleasure and orgasmic release. Men are not left behind, as the adult toy industry has made so many improvements regarding male pleasure that men have so many options to try. It has a very positive effect on how men perform sexually, especially with the use of performance-enhancing toys like cock rings or stamina-training toys like male masturbators. But there are also sex toys that address loneliness, like sex dolls; many of these can be excellent sexual companions for people with social anxiety or other psychological issues. The Bottom Line As we outlined above, there are many psychological effects and benefits from regular sex toy use, and it is evident why people love using sex toys. However, we only scratched the surface here, as there are many more profound implications related to the psychology of sex toy use. Still, we must emphasize that when used correctly, sex toys can bring a better balance in the relationship dynamics and can promote healthy, fulfilling sexual experiences. For that, we wish to invite you to browse our sex toy store, where you’ll find an incredible selection of sex toys for any taste, preference, and experience.

How to Choose a Strap-On: Guide for Getting a Great Strap-On

by Kate Miller on Jan 28 2026
The strap-on is an exciting, sexy way to spice up your sex life; it allows so many play options, and you’ll be amazed at how your partner and you can expand your sexual horizons. An incredible strap-on will help with many actions, including penetrative sex, anal sex, hands-free play, and more. Thus, it is vital to choose the correct one for you and your partner. Here, we discuss all the particulars about strap-ons, focusing on the most important things to consider when shopping for a quality strap-on. If you wish to learn more about strap-ons, we have an entire series of articles related to this topic. Before we share our tips for selecting a strap-on, let’s discuss the parts of a strap-on and what your choices are. Different Strap-On Harness Designs and Styles We know that the strap-on selections can be overwhelming to most, so here we’ll discuss the different strap-on harness designs you are likely to encounter today. There are several ways to define and list them here, but we’ll start with the obvious – the harness type. Basically, there are two harness types of strap-ons, and these are the underwear-style strap-on harness and the strap-on style harness: Underwear-style harnesses are a pair of underwear, usually a thong or boy-shorts design, with an O-ring placed in the appropriate place. These are easy to put on – just like you would a standard pair of underwear. Usually, these are made from microfiber fabric that is comfortable, breathable, and machine-washable. Strap-on style harnesses have adjustable straps that fit around the waist and thighs. These can be three-point straps, thong-like straps, or four-point straps or jockstrap-style harnesses. The most likely materials the strap-on style harnesses are made from include woven nylon straps, leather, or other synthetic materials. The underwear-style harness is more comfortable for beginners and is designed to be worn by women. On the other hand, the strap-on style harness is better suited for experienced users who know what they are doing. Also, the jockstrap-style harness is the most comfortable design for men, as the 4-point straps allow room for the testicles and provide stability in use. ===COLLECTION=== Strap-On Dildo Options The next obvious choice is the strap-on dildo you’ll use with your chosen strap-on. While there are complete strap-on kits, many users prefer to select a separate strap-on harness and get one or more strap-on-compatible dildos that provide added variety. When it comes to selecting a strap-on dildo, you have two options: an O-ring fitting and a Vac-U-Lock system. The O-ring fitting is the most commonly found strap-on fitting type, and it is an excellent option for both beginners and experienced users. The Vac-U-Lock system was created and patented by Doc Johnson, one of the premier sex toy manufacturers, and many of their dildos feature this system, as well as being O-ring compatible. The next thing you need to consider, and something we pay a great deal of attention to, is the size and material of the dildo. ===COLLECTION=== Dildo Size is a Personal Preference When looking for a strap-on dildo, you should know that you lose about one inch in length when you attach the dildo to the harness, so if you have a 7-inch strap-on compatible dildo, you’ll be getting a little over 6 inches of insertable length. Since there is no universal size that fits all users, we suggest you refer to our dildo measuring guide to find out the size that will fit you the most. Next, the O-ring size changes in relation to the dildo shaft diameter: O-ring sizes that relate to shaft diameter are 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and up to 2 inches in diameter. So, when selecting an O-ring harness, this is something to keep in mind. If you get a strap-on harness that does not allow changing the O-ring, then you’ll have to get a fitting dildo. If you get a strap-on harness that allows for the changing of the O-rings, you’ll have to stock up on replaceable O-rings to fit the strap-on-compatible dildos you have. Be Mindful of the Dildo Material We are always partial to using silicone sex toys; when it comes to strap-on-compatible dildos, silicone is always a good idea. Because of the nature of the material, silicone is adequate for large and thick harness-compatible dildos. Still, it may not be as realistic as you may expect. Lucky for you, there are other strap-on dildo materials that you can consider. We are talking about PVC and TPE dildos. Quality-made dildos are non-porous, body-safe, and easy to clean and maintain. If you are looking for a hollow strap-on, then you are more likely to get a model that is made from PVC because this is sturdier and holds its shape well. Added Features are Welcome While using a strap-on by itself is exciting, we also suggest you try using a model that has extra features. One of the most commonly found additional features is vibration, which can elevate an already sexy experience to the next level. Top-quality vibrating strap-ons come with wireless or wired remote controllers that facilitate playtime. ===COLLECTION=== Top Strap-On Shopping Advice Now that we’ve covered the most important things related to strap-ons, here is our list of advice we think will come in handy when you decide to select a strap-on toy to make things more enjoyable for you and your partner: Harness Size – we advise you to select a strap-on harness size that is very close to your size. If you plan to change roles and have your partner wear the strap-on harness, look for an adjustable model that will fit both of you. Make sure the harness fits you well because a snug fit ensures a better user experience. Dildo Size – we always suggest you start low and go slow, meaning start with a smaller dildo and increase the size as you gain experience and build confidence. Dildo Shape & Material – we suggest you select a smooth strap-on dildo if you are an absolute beginner or are looking to experiment with pegging. However, if you feel confident, you can pick a realistic strap-on that can enhance the entire experience. Lube Compatibility – never forget the lube, as this is essential for making things slide easily. We advise you to opt for quality water-based lube that is compatible with all types of sex toys. Silicone lube adversely affects silicone and TPE toys, so water-based is the best choice to use with various strap-on dildos. Cleaning & Maintenance – we advise you to select sex toys that are non-porous and waterproof, as these are effortless to clean. You can wash your silicone strap-on dildos with soap and water, while models made from TPE/TPR may require rejuvenating powder to keep them pristine. Some harnesses are machine or hand-washable, while others can only be spot-cleaned. Budget – lastly, consider your budget, as quality strap-on harnesses and strap-on dildos don’t come cheap. If you are new to such play, we suggest you get a good quality strap-on harness that can provide a good experience and buy a smaller strap-on dildo. We advise everyone to stay away from the bottom-shelf stuff, especially when it comes to sex toys, as there should be no risk to your health and pleasure. Lucky for you, we have an extensive strap-on offer, where we provide various models that fit beginners and experienced users, and we have more strap-on guides to answer every concern and help you when shopping for a quality, well-made strap-on that will serve you for years. FAQs What does it mean for a dildo to be body-safe?A body-safe designation means that the strap-on dildo is made from materials that are rated as safe to use and free from harmful ingredients. Most of these are phthalate-free and are made from medical-grade materials that are safe to use for this use. What is the best lube for strap-on dildos?We always provide lube suggestions with every product we review and sell, but to be on the safe side, you should always stick to quality, thick, water-based lubes that are compatible with all sex toys. If you wish to use silicone, oil, or hybrid lubes, then check the toy’s user manual to check for compatibility. As a rule of thumb, avoid using silicone lubes with silicone toys. What lube do you use with a pegging strap-on?Since strap-ons are perfect for pegging, you can freely engage in this activity, but with the correct lube. If you have a silicone pegging strap-on, then opt for a thick water-based lube and reapply as necessary. Don’t use silicone lube with silicone toys!

How to Choose a Glass Butt Plug

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Butt plugs are the perfect toy for the introduction of anal play into your sexy games; these have optimized shapes and sizes that are perfect for inserting in the anus and stimulating the thousands of nerve endings in the anal region. The material the butt plug is made from has a significant role in the way you can use it and the sensations it provides, and here we’ll discuss one particular type of butt plug – the glass butt plug. Our experts will talk all about how to choose a glass butt plug, and we’ll list the key things to know to safely use these fantastic sex toys. What Is a Glass Butt Plug? A glass butt plug is a butt plug made from glass and is heavier than a silicone butt plug. The glass butt plug has a spade-like shaped body, a narrow neck, and a broad base, but because it is made from borosilicate glass, it has a good heft to it, providing extra-pleasurable sensations. But one of the critical features of the glass butt plugs is that it can be heated or cooled, and you can use it for temperature play, creating even more sensational feelings. Shop Glass Butt Plugs ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Glass Butt Plug? Selecting a glass butt plug is simple, as you only need to consider only a few things that will determine how you can use it. Be diligent and never be overzealous in selecting a model that is too large and impossible to use. Let’s now outline the key things to note when choosing a glass butt plug: Design – the glass butt plugs come in several designs; you can select between the “standard” spade-like butt plugs or get more specialized designs that resemble anal beads. We need to note that you can wear the more petite spade butt plugs for longer, as this shape is optimized for beginners into anal play. Still, absolute anal play beginners need to start with anal training kits that come as sets of differently-sized butt plugs with streamlined designs for easy use. Size – you need to be aware of your experience level when selecting a glass butt plug. We recommend you get a smaller model that you can safely use, so look for a beginner-friendly size. One thing we must note about the butt plugs is that these weigh more than silicone models, so even a smaller one will be heavier, and you’ll know it is there. Shape – the shape of the butt plugs determines how you need to insert it and the effect it will have. Here are the main aspects of the glass but plug you should look at when choosing your model: The tip – you can either get a glass butt plug with a narrow or a blunt tip. The narrow tip is easier to insert, while the blunt tip plug provides a smoother experience. The body – the body of the glass, but the plug is usually round and smooth, so when selecting one, you need to look at the diameter of the butt plug, which we clearly state on our product description pages. The neck – the neck of the glass butt plug is the part that sits on the anal rim, keeping it open, so we recommend you get a glass butt plug that has a narrow neck for comfortable use. The base – the glass butt plugs all come with broad bases that sit safely on the outside of the anus. Extra features – the glass butt plugs are pretty awesome as they are. Still, some models come with additional features, like a silicone base that acts as a suction cup. You can even find vibrating glass butt plugs for an incredibly pleasurable user experience. Benefits of Using Butt Plugs Using a butt plug in your sexy games is quite fun, and if you choose a glass butt plug, you can have more enhanced sexy time because of the fantastic feeling glass provides: Enhanced pleasure – butt plugs enhance pleasure during solo or partnered sexual play, as these stimulate the sensitive nerve endings in the anus and provide pleasurable pressure to the entire experience. Temperature play - the glass plug is perfect for temperature play, as the glass retains heat well. Place the glass butt plug in warm water to warm it up, or place it in ice water to cool it down and experience sensations you can’t compare to anything else. Anal training – you can use a butt plug to train the anus for anal sex. For this, you need to gradually increase the size of the butt plug over time, which will make anal sex more comfortable, allowing you to receive your partner’s penis with ease, as you’ve already prepared the anus for insertion. Prostate stimulation –men can use butt plugs to stimulate the prostate, which is also referred to as the P-spot or male G-spot. This can lead to powerful orgasms, as the P-spot is a part of the male reproductive system, and when stimulated, it can cause whole-body orgasms. Tips for Safe Use of Glass Butt Plugs When you use a glass butt plug, you need to be careful and know what to expect, as the glass is weightier than silicone models. Focus on safety when you use a butt plug, and when you use a glass butt plug, keep note of the following: Clean the toy – always clean your sex toys before and after use so you don’t have to worry about your health. We recommend you always rinse your glass but plug it with soap and water or use a sex toy cleaner to remove residue. But glass butt plugs are effortless to sterilize, as you can boil them, wash them in the dishwasher, or clean them with bleach to ensure a completely sterile sex toy. Always use lube – the anus is not self-lubricating, so using lube is necessary for safe and pleasurable play. Unlike other sex toy materials, glass is compatible with all lube types, and you can freely use your favorite lube, whether it is water-based lube, silicone lube, or even massage oil. Please note that the glass butt plugs are slippery when lubed, so have a towel nearby to wipe your hands so you don’t drop your glass butt plug and chip or shatter it. Start slow – anal play should never be forced, as the tissues in that region are very sensitive, and too much force can harm them. We recommend everyone starting with anal play to take things very slowly, use lots of lube and breathe deeply to help the body relax and take in the intrusive sensation of the glass butt plug. Another thing we must note about using a glass butt plug is that it may initially feel weird or unpleasant. Still, with proper foreplay and relaxation, the glass butt plug will start to feel incredibly arousing. We hope our simple guide on how to choose a butt plug is helpful as we cover the basics. However, for more information and guides on choosing and using other sex toys, please check out our blog and browse our sex toy store, where we carry a perfect selection of sex toys, ranging from anal toys to dildos, vibrators, male toys, BDSM tools, sexy lingerie, and much more.

How to Choose Vibrating Panties

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Panties are a basic necessity we all wear for hygiene and modesty. But what about panties that work towards our pleasure? Yes, there are panty models that you can wear as regular panties but transform into a veritable orgasm-inducing toy that you’ll be glad you’ve put on. These are women’s underwear that have vibrating attachments incorporated into the design that you can engage at the touch of a button. Here, our sex experts outline all the essential things you need to know about how to choose vibrating panties, the different models, and how to take care of this fantastic sex toy. What Are Vibrating Panties? The vibrating panties are a piece of lingerie that combines a small clitoral vibrator and sexy panties, allowing the wearer to experience closely targeted stimulation on the clitoris. These are designed to provide a sexy feeling and empower the wearer and are often controlled by a convenient remote controller for easily accessible pleasure. The vibrating panties come in a nice variety, and you can choose different models that you’ll undoubtedly enjoy. Shop Vibrating Panites & Panty Vibes ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose Vibrating Panties? When you select your set of vibrating panties, you need to pay attention to several key things, like: Style & design – the first thing you need to consider when selecting vibrating panties is the style of the panties and the design. We are, of course, talking about the cut of the panties, like a thong, lacy panties, or a panty vibe that you can attach to your favorite panties. If you are getting a vibrating panty model, we recommend you select a model made from comfortable material like cotton or microfiber that is pleasant to wear for longer. Vibe material – the next thing to consider is the material from which the panty vibe is made. We are fans of silicone, which is why we always recommend you get sex toys, including vibrating panties, from silicone. Silicone is non-porous, body-safe, and effortless to clean, and is perfect for prolonged wear, as the panty vibes press along the clitoris for a long time. Attachment type – the way the panty vibe attaches to the panties is essential, as most models have a magnetic attachment that you use to position the vibe against the panties. Some panty models have a small pocket where you can place a small bullet vibe, but we still recommend you get a model with a magnetic clip that is more secure and will hold the vibe in place even when you move and wear the panties for a long time. Vibe controls – the way you control the vibrating panties is essential, and most quality panty vibes have remote controllers for easy wireless controlling of the features. There are high-tech app-controlled panty vibes that allow you to customize the vibrations and even allow you to make your own vibrating patterns. Power source – you can choose between a battery-powered model or a rechargeable model. Still, we are fans of the rechargeable panty vibes, as these have better battery lives and are more environmentally friendly. Waterproof use – we are all for using a vibrating panty model that is waterproof, as you can use these in different settings, including the pool. Also, you can more easily clean a waterproof panty vibe and keep it clean and ready for future use. Vibrating Panty Types The panty vibes are models designed to be worn in the panties and to provide targeted stimulation, and these come in simple and advanced designs: Removable panty vibrators – these panty vibes attach to your panties and position against the clit, and you can remove them and wear them with any panty model. Panties with built-in vibes – these are vibrating panties that have the vibrating bullet built-in into the design, and you can’t remove the vibe but only use the panties as they are. Benefits of Using a Panty Vibrator The obvious benefit of the panty vibes is the arousal, and on top of a guaranteed orgasm, there are other benefits of using panty vibes: Profound arousal – the way the vibrating panties operate is that they provide targeted sensations against the clit, so even without engaging the vibes, you will get a constant pressure against the clit that will keep you in an aroused state for longer. When you engage in the vibrations, you will undoubtedly experience an intensely pleasurable arousal that will lead to powerful orgasms. Sexual pleasure – this is the main thing why you would use any type of vibrator, as the targeted vibrations on the clitoris make for a pleasurable sexual experience, allowing you to experience slow-building orgasms. Improve health & sleep – regular orgasms help improve health; the orgasm triggers a complex hormonal mechanism and balances testosterone, which has a positive effect on heart, bone, and skin health and is excellent for falling asleep faster. Strengthen pelvic muscles – regular orgasms help with incontinence and also help with strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which allows you to get tighter vaginas and more powerful orgasms. It also helps with increased blood flow through the genitals and better relaxation. Tips for Using a Panty Vibrator We share some essential tips that can help you use your panty vibe with better results. First thing first, start with a clean toy that has a full battery so that you can enjoy the fun for longer: Wash and dry the toy – wash the vibrating panties by hand with a mild soap and leave them to dry before you put them on. If you use a detachable panty vibe, you should give it a quick rinse with soap and water and pat it dry before positioning it in your panties. A dab of lube helps – lube makes things more comfortable, so even if you are wearing the vibrating panties for longer, you should apply a dab of lube before you start, just so the vibe has something to stick on to and not chafe the skin. We recommend quality water-based lube, as this is the best option for vaginal use, is compatible with silicone, and is easiest to wash off. Charge the toy & learn the controls – before you position your panty vibe on your most sensitive areas, you should understand the controls and see what each button does. Also, make sure you have a fully charged toy, especially if you plan to wear the vibrating panties for the whole day, as you want to have enough power for all that sexy teasing. Experiment with vibrations and patterns – the vibrating panties usually come with different patterns and intensities, so you should experiment and see which one you enjoy the most. If you only want slow-building arousal, then put the low, rumbly vibrations on, and if you are after a quick finish, then the high, intense vibration patterns are the way to go. Our guide on how to choose vibrating panties covers the basics, but we have prepared plenty of guides on choosing and using various sex toys in our blog. We invite you to browse our sex toy store, where we carry a broad range of vibrators, dildos, male toys, anal toys, BDSM gear, and so much more.

How to Choose a Strapless Strap-On: Everything You Need to Know

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
If you are keen on expanding your sexual horizons and need something to spice things up in the bedroom, then we suggest you give strapless strap-ons a try. There are a lot of strap-ons on the market, but the strapless strap-on may be the best choice for you and your partner, as it lets you spice things up and enjoy various sexual acts without the harness and straps between your bodies. If you like to peg your man and also enjoy yourself at the same time, then this is for you. Also, lesbian couples can enjoy it, as it allows simultaneous stimulation for the wearer and the receiver. Since strap-ons are getting popular among various users, we have prepared the following guide to help you learn how you can select a strapless strap-on that will provide you and your partner deep pleasure. What is a Strapless Strap-On? For those of you who don’t know, here is a short definition and explanation of what is a strapless strap-on. Unlike a regular strap-on that requires a harness, the strapless strap-on is a sex toy that requires no straps or harnesses to be used. One end of the toy gets inserted in the vagina – the part shaped like an eff, while the insertable probe, shaped like a dildo, goes into the other partner. We have prepared a more detailed guide on this topic. Strapless Strap-On Types Strapless strap-ons come in many shapes and sizes, and you can choose models made from different materials. However, we’ve used one key feature to divide these into two categories: non-vibrating strapless strap-ons and vibrating strapless strap-ons. Vibrating strapless strap-ons provide you with ultimate pleasure for both partners. There are vibrating mechanisms on both ends; one stimulates one partner, while the other side stimulates the other partner. The vibrations can be controlled remotely in many models, which can increase the pleasure. Also, some models can be inflated, and they can fit more appropriately for needier users. Non-vibrating strapless strap-ons may seem simpler, but they can also deliver the utmost pleasure. While these may look like their vibrating counterparts, these depend on manual stimulation, as they don’t have any additional vibrating mechanisms. You may have heard of this kind of toy, but you may not know how to use it properly and have been reluctant to buy one. Don’t worry, as there are beginner models and models for experienced users. When you use a strapless strap-on, make sure that it is placed correctly, and it should stay in place when things become wild. So, you should consider the size and the added features. While some of these are welcomed, the wearer must control the movement of the strapless strap-on with the Kegel muscles, which can be challenging for some people. Shop All Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Strapless Strap-On Shopping Options We made you a list of the most important things you should know when purchasing a strapless strap-on. There are many subtle variants, you should look for a model that fits both partners. If you both shop together, talk about what is enjoyable for you both and find the perfect fit. If you want to surprise your partner, look for the most convenient one for both of you. There are simple and cheaper versions and luxurious and expensive ones. We suggest you opt for a vibrating strapless strap-on, preferably a wirelessly controlled model, for a wild, exciting experience.   Insertable Length – On Both Ends Size is one of the essential features of strapless strap-ons. But when you look at the size of the strapless strap-on, you must look at both ends – the vaginal bulb and the insertable probe. The insertable bulb is inserted in the vagina and stimulates the wearer from the inside. It is usually shaped like an egg, and it nestles inside, which means the woman needs to have strong Kegel muscles to hold it in place. The neck of the toy sits on the outer part of the vagina and hugs the clitoral area, which is relatively similar in the various strapless strap-on models. The other end is most often shaped like a dildo and can have a smooth or realistic shape. It goes into the other partner. Because of the nature of the toy and the material it is made from, it does not act as an actual penis, so size is significant. We suggest you opt for a smaller insertable size, especially if you are just starting with strapless strap-ons, because of the shape and make of the toy. The Shape is Crucial Almost all strapless strap-ons have similar shapes because of the intended use of this sex toy. However, you can select between options like a smooth or textured shaft, a smooth or textured clitoral part, and slight variations of the vaginal bulb. It is essential to know as everyone has specific needs. For inexperienced users or for pegging, consider smaller versions with smooth surfaces. If you feel confident, try the textured features. Body-Safe Materials are a Must We are always in favor of high-quality materials like silicone, ABS, TPE, PVC, or other body-safe materials. When it comes to strapless strap-ons, silicone should be the top choice. It has the right balance between firmness and flexibility, and it is bendable enough to bring pleasure to both partners.   Vibrations are an Added Benefit As we noted above, there are manual and vibrating strapless strap-ons. If you opt for the vibrating models, please note that the vibrations can increase the range of sensations and can provide deeper pleasure. After testing many models, we found the ones that have independently controlled features to be the best suited for deeper stimulation. Having a wireless remote controller is excellent, as it allows you to control the vibrations conveniently and enjoy all the moments. Strapless Strap-On Shopping Advice We outlined the crucial aspects related to strapless strap-ons. So, please make sure you read our advice and learn how to choose the best product for you. It is also why we have condensed all of this info into a simple strapless strap-on shopping guide: Shape & Size – selecting a strapless strap-on that fits both partners is essential, so always consider the shape and size of the toy. We always advise you to start low and go slow, building up your confidence as you expand your sexual horizons. Strapless Strap-On Material – always opt for a phthalate-free body-safe material like silicone strapless strap-on. Other nonporous and body-safe materials that you can choose from are TPE and PVC. Your Experience – considering your experience level is vital, but you should also think about the intended use. Do you intend to use it for vaginal sex, pegging, or solo play? The answer will point you in the right direction: for vaginal (girl-on-girl) use, you can get a strapless strap-on with a longer insertable shaft. On the other hand, for pegging, you will need a strapless strap-on with a smoother, narrower insertable shaft. Lube Compatibility – one of the many essential things when using sex toys is lube. We prefer and always suggest a thick water-based lube, as this is compatible with all sex toy materials. While some may like the feel and long-lasting effect of silicone lube, this is not compatible with silicone or TPE toys. Cleaning and maintenance – are essential for the safety and longevity of your product. We advise you to choose waterproof and nonporous strapless strap-ons, as these are the easiest to clean. You can wash your silicone toy with water and soap or any sex toy cleaner, and if you have a strapless toy made from TPE/TPR, it may require rejuvenating powder to keep it in condition. Cleaning and maintenance are easy for high-quality, well-built strapless strap-ons, but to be sure, always read the maintenance manual on your specific toy.   Budget – always pick the best for your budget. You can see various models and various prices. Some are simpler, not vibrating, while others are luxurious and elegant, and they may cost you a bit more. Everybody needs some experimenting when it comes to sex. We are all for it and support sexual exploration and pushing your boundaries. That is why we have prepared this guide on how to choose a strapless strap-on, but also why we have an excellently stocked store that carries a broad range of exciting sex toys and much more.

The strapless strap-on is created to be placed in the vagina and to stay in place while it is used on the other partner. It doesn’t need much holding, but it needs the support of the Kegel muscles. This may seem like an issue, but when you try, you’ll feel it is not complicated or uncomfortable. There are many options on the market, with different shapes and sizes, so look for something that will fit you. If you are exploring solo play, you can use one part at one place at a time. Who can use a strapless strap-on? The strapless strap-on is intended to be used by two partners: it can be used by a female and a male or by two females. One side, or the bulb, is placed in the vaginal channel, and the other side, or dildo, is used to penetrate the other person. Some of the strapless strap-ons can be placed in harnesses if someone prefers it.   What is the best lube for strapless strap-on dildos? We provide a list of suggested lubes for every product. The lube compatibility depends on the material the strapless strap-on is made from. We always recommend quality, water-based lubes that are compatible with all sex toy materials. Other lube options are silicone, oil, and hybrid lubes, but these are not compatible with all materials. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations on lube compatibility, and make sure you are not using silicone lube with silicone material. Can we use a strapless strap-on for pegging? Yes, indeed. We recommend using a strapless strap-on is intended for pegging couples. Many couples want to explore this sexual act further, and using a strapless strap-on, you can enjoy role play and experience pleasure.

How to Choose a Hollow Strap On Dildo

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Let us discuss the hollow dildo strap-ons – these extraordinary contraptions that primarily allow people with erectile issues to have a regular sex life. But the hollow dildo strap-ons also serve other functions and help spice up a stale bedroom. The hollow strap ons have risen in popularity, and no matter your personal opinions, the hollow strap-on dildos can be used in various bedroom scenarios. Please read on as we discuss the essential things to note when choosing a hollow dildo strap-on. What is a Hollow Dildo Strap On? A hollow dildo strap-on is a firm dildo that is hollow on the inside and is attached to a harness that keeps it in place during use. It was initially designed to help men with erectile dysfunction, as the interior channel can accommodate a flaccid or semi-erect penis and allow the man to have regular sex. However, its use has evolved and now hollow strap-ons have various exciting uses. Hollow Strap-On Varieties Before we go into the particulars of choosing a hollow strapon dildo for you, we need to outline the basic versions this toy comes in. There are basically two general varieties, but don’t be let down, as these come in a significant number of options: Realistic Hollow Dildo Strap-Ons: these feature a phallic-shaped hollow dildo attached to a strap-on harness. Depending on the type and model, these come in various shades and sizes, from small-ish to models well over 12 inches in length. Please note that there are vibrating hollow dildo strap-ons that feature the same design but usually have a small bullet vibrator included in the design. Double Penetration Hollow Dildo Strap-Ons: these are very interesting, as they feature a hollow dildo on the upper section where the penis goes and a second penis appendage that sits under the hollow dildo. These are intended for double penetration. Shop Hollow Dildo Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== How to Select a Hollow Dildo Strap-On Unlike the vibrator or dildo sex toy category, the hollow dildo strap-on category is relatively limited in model options. However, that does not limit the selection, as there are hollow dildos in many colors and sizes to satisfy a broad range of users. Thus, here are the key things you must know when selecting a hollow strap-on: Hollow Dildo Size: the hollow dildo has two essential measurements, the internal size that accommodates the penis and the outer size that goes into the receiving partner. Your choice will depend on the intended use, like vaginal sex or anal penetration. Hollow Dildo Material: due to the nature of the hollow dildo strap-on, metal, and glass are not suitable choices. Instead, most hollow dildos today are made from silicone, and TPE/TPR blends like Cyberskin. These are compatible with water-based lubes and offer a realistic feel. Harness Type: The strap-on harness is an integral part of the hollow dildo strap, and the most common choices are woven nylon, fabrics, and leather. The best harness for hollow dildos should have a wide waistband and double straps that go between the legs and outside the testicles. Please note that strap-on harnesses made from woven nylon are the easiest to clean and maintain. Other Features: some hollow dildo strap-ons have extra features like vibrations. A wired or wireless remote controller usually controls the vibrating strap-on dildos and can be rechargeable via USB or have replaceable batteries. Another added feature is squirting, which is an excellent feature to capture the realistic experience. Hollow Dildo Strap-On Benefits All sex toys contribute to the excitement, and the hollow dildo strap-ons are no exception. Here we’ll share the top benefits you get by introducing a hollow dildo strapon in your sexy games: Erectile dysfunction and impotence – There are many men with impotence problems, which can be debilitating for the male ego. However, the hollow dildo strap-ons bring the solution, and men with such problems can have regular intercourse with their partners. Sometimes, if the problem is mental, the regular use of a hollow strap-on can help bring their confidence back, and they can start getting normal erections. Premature ejaculation – There are two ways a hollow strap-on can be helpful here. Either a couple has sex to the point where the male partner ejaculates, and then he wears the hollow strap-on to please his partner until they climax. Or he wears the hollow strap-on first until his partner is ready for him, and then they can both climax together. Penis enlargement – Some men wear a hollow strap-on as a way to enlarge their penis for their partner’s benefit. It is a fun way to mix things up and relieve a fantasy of bringing another man into the bedroom without the consequences. G-spot stimulation – There are hollow strap-ons with a slight curve that angles up for better G-spot stimulation. These can provide a deeper stimulation to the female partner. Anal sex and prostate massage – Some hollow strap-ons are made with anal sex in mind, so the hollow dildo is thinner for easier penetration. These are ideal for prostate massage if the partner is male. Not only can men receive stimulation from all the nerve endings that are in the rectum, but they can also receive the benefits that come with having their prostate massaged. Hollow Strap-On Purchase Tips Here is a list of the top tips we must share with you that we honed to help you when you go and buy a hollow strap-on: Check the product images to get an idea of the hollow dildo and harness design Always check the harness size and adjustability options; we suggest you opt for harnesses with wide waist straps We suggest models with double straps that cradle the testicles for more comfortable wearing for men Check the inner and outer sizes of the hollow dildo that will fit you and your partner Consider the extra features like vibrations and ejaculation for a more profound, more realistic experience. Where To Use Your Hollow Strap-On Hollow strap-ons can be used in all scenarios as regular strap-on dildos, but these provide a very different experience to both the wearer and the receiver. Rather than feeling any sensations, the wearer will actually be going through the motions. It is an excellent way for partners to prolong their lovemaking and is one of the reasons why they are so popular with men who suffer from premature ejaculation. One area that is not very often mentioned is the use of a hollow strap-on for temperature play between women. It is possible to fill a hollow strap-on with water and freeze it before strapping the strap-on into a harness. After this, performing penetration with a cold, hard dildo can send icy shivers up any receiver’s back, be it vaginal or anal intercourse. Men can also heat the hollow strap-on in warm water to introduce warmer sensations, but he does need to be careful sliding his penis into something too hot. There are other fun uses for a hollow dildo strap-on, but we’ll leave you and your partner to explore them all. Related Article How to Use a Strap-On With A Partner Cleaning & Storage Tips We suggest you opt for hollow strap-on dildos made from body-safe materials like silicone or Cyberskin/Ultraskyn blends. These are the most recommended materials because of their durability, and also the lifelike feel they provide. For the harness, your best options should be woven nylon as it will be the most comfortable to wear and the easiest to clean. After use, if possible, remove the strap-on from the harness and check it for any possible damage. If all is well, then you should clean the hollow dildo per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Most often, you can wash your hollow strap-on dildo with mild soap and warm water or any sex toy cleaner. Remember to clean the hollow dildo from the outside and inside, especially if the man has ejaculated inside. Wash and rinse everything well, ensuring no residue remains. The same goes for the harness; you should clean it per the manufacturer’s instructions. Most of the quality nylon strap-on harnesses are machine-washable. However, if you have one made from leather, this may be more challenging to clean, as leather can only be spot-cleaned. Please note that you should store your hollow strap-on dildo and harness in a separate sex toy bag that will keep it protected from the elements. The Bottom Line Everybody needs some experimenting when it comes to sex. We are all for it and support sexual exploration and pushing your boundaries. That is why we have prepared this guide on how to choose a hollow dildo strap-on, but also why we have an excellently supplied store with a wide range of exciting sex toys and much more.

How to Choose Vibrating Strap-Ons

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Strap-ons are a fun and exciting way to make things more engaging in the bedroom, but did you know that you can take things a step further with vibrating strap-ons? Yep! While most models look very similar or the same as their non-vibrating counterparts, the vibrating strap-ons bring that little extra oomph to both partners. Here, we share a detailed guide covering all you need to know about vibrating strap-on dildos, but we’ll also outline how to choose vibrating strap-ons that will satisfy anyone’s cravings. Rest assured we’ll cover all the bases, including vibrating strap-on dildos, vibrating strapless strap-ons, and much more. Types of Vibrating Strap-Ons When it comes to strap-ons, you can find a large number of options that satisfy a broad range of sexual tastes. However, these are regularly categorized into groups based on a design feature or their intended use. Here we list the most commonly found vibrating strap-on varieties: Double-ended vibrating strap-ons: these are either double-ended vibrating dildos or vibrating strapless strap-ons designed to penetrate both partners simultaneously. In the case of the vibrating strapless strap-ons, these come with a vaginal bulb attached to a penetration probe. Double-penetration vibrating strap-ons: these are designed for double penetration (of a woman) and usually have vibrating mechanisms in the vaginal and anal probes. Some designs feature a probe with a C-ring and a vibrating bullet. Hollow dildo vibrating strap-ons: the hollow dildo strap-on is intended for men with ED issues, but there are models with vibrating bullets in the hollow shaft that add extra sensations to the sexy play. Vibrating butterfly strap-ons: unlike the other vibrating strap-ons we’ve outlined above, the vibrating butterfly strap-ons are designed to be placed over the clit and vulva and deliver targeted vibrations. These are also designed for solo use by women. All of these models either come with vibrating bullets with button controls or they have internal vibrating mechanisms with wired/wireless controllers for added convenience. Some may be powered by batteries, while other models are USB rechargeable. Plus, various models are waterproof and are designed for use underwater. Shop Vibrating Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Best Vibrating Strap-On Dildo Let’s discuss the essential things you should know when you select a great vibrating strap-on dildo. The first thing to note is that you should always stick to reputable brands and only purchase products from trusted sellers. Now, the main features to know when selecting your new vibrating strap-on: Size Size is the first thing to consider during your selection, as it directly affects comfort during use and pleasure. Always consult with your partner, as when it comes to vibrating strap-on toys, size does matter. If you are going to use your vibrating strap-on for vaginal penetration only, you can go a little bigger as the vagina stretches when aroused. However, for anal penetration, stick to vibrating strap-ons that are slim and narrow to facilitate use. Please note that you should not use the same model for vaginal and anal play. The most common sizes for vibrating strap-on dildos fall in the range between 6 and 8 inches in length, with a diameter of about 1.3 to 1.5 inches. Always consider your other sex toys, as these are an excellent pointer to what you are comfortable using. You can also use your partner’s penis size for reference. Material Material is the second thing to consider when selecting a vibrating strap-on toy. The best option is to get a silicone vibrating strap-on. Other good options are cyberskin dildos, PVC and TPE dildos, etc. The material your vibrating strap-on is made from will determine the type of lube you can use, but to be safe, we recommend you sticking to quality water-based lubes as these are compatible with all sex toy materials. Texture Vibrating strap-ons can come in a smooth or realistic texture, and this greatly depends on the material and the intended use. Silicone dildos are plush, feel velvety to the touch, and can be shaped in many ways. These are also the commonly used option for anal vibrating dildos. Cyberskin and TPE dildos feel more like the skin of an actual penis, and these are usually shaped like a realistic penis. Vibrations & Controls The next important feature when considering a vibrating strap-on is the vibration type, the battery, and the controller. There are some models with removable vibrating bullets that are powered by replaceable batteries; these usually come with a button control and very few vibe options. On the other hand, the USB rechargeable vibrating toys provide more vibrating options like different speeds and vibrating patterns. Some of these come with wired remotes, while others come with wireless remote controllers. Advanced models are even app-compatible, where you get to use your smartphone to control the vibrations and the pleasure. Harness Compatibility Because we are discussing vibrating strap-ons, the harness is an integral part of the use of these toys. Only in the case of a vibrating strapless dildos you don’t need a harness, as these are designed to be held in place by the woman’s pelvic floor muscles. In all other models, you will need a suitable harness, which can be supplied (in the case of strap-on kits), or you can buy a separate harness that is compatible with your chosen vibrating strap-on. We always suggest you get a separate harness with several O-ring sizes that you can use with various strap-on dildos, including O-ring compatible vibrating strap-on dildos. Maintenance When you select your new vibrating strap-on, the last but equally important thing you should consider is the cleaning and maintenance. If your vibrating strap-on is waterproof, then you can just wash it with soap and water or any toy cleaner. However, if your vibrating strap-on is splashproof or not waterproof, then you need to be careful when cleaning it. Hence, you avoid getting water in the battery compartment or vibrating mechanism. Another thing we must note here is that you should use rejuvenating powder or cornstarch with your TPE/Cyberskin vibrating toys. Vibrating Strap-On Benefits Let's now discuss the benefits of using a vibrating strap-on: there are plenty of unique benefits for both partners. The apparent benefit of vibrating strap-ons is the easier achieving of orgasms. For some people, women especially, orgasming through penetration can be challenging, so the vibrations can be a welcome stimulation. Vibrating strap-ons are also an excellent option for older women going through menopause. During menopause, most women experience vaginal tightness and dryness, and sex can be difficult. In such cases, a vibrating toy can alleviate some of the symptoms and help with increasing natural vaginal lubrication and improving elasticity, making the entire experience more pleasurable. For men, the vibrating strap-ons are beneficial in several areas. Guys who have erectile dysfunction can benefit from using a vibrating hollow dildo strap-on that can help them get aroused better and even reach a full erection. The other area where these toys benefit is prostate massage, as the vibrations can stimulate the prostate, casuing full-body orgasms. Also, prostate massage is beneficial for male health. Vibrating Strap-Ons Safety Considerations We have to cover the safety aspect of vibrating strap-ons, but please note that these are very similar to the safety aspects of regular dildos. One thing is the material the dildo is made from: if this is made from porous or materials with phthalates, there is a potential health risk. Next, you should ALWAYS use a lube that is compatible with your vibrating strap-on. We recommend using quality water-based lube and using it generously as you may lose some of it from shaking, or it can be wiped off a surface. Never use numbing lubes, especially for anal use, as these pose a risk of inadvertently hurting the receiver. Don’t use a vibrating strap-on that is too big for you or your partner, and be open and communicate with your partner. The wearer does not have any idea how the receiver feels, so communicate and ask if there is any pain or discomfort. Please note that the wearer can experience numbness in the genital area if they have the vibrating strap-on for too long, as the vibrations may numb the nerve endings and cause diminished sensations. We recommend you use the vibrating strap-on with caution and never force things to happen between you and your partner. Where Can You Use a Vibrating Strap-On You can use a vibrating strap-on in a wide range of scenarios and situations. However, due to their nature and unless explicitly stated that they are waterproof, they shouldn’t be used in water. Women can use a vibrating strap-on for solo use – they can use the vibrating dildo to masturbate and enjoy the vibrations in a way they feel most comfortable. If your vibrating strap-on comes with a fixed harness, you can attach it to a chair or even a pillow and let your imagination run wild. Take inspiration from wall mount dildos but with the extra vibrations. Another quite popular use is for pegging – the female partner wears the vibrating strap-on and penetrates the male partner. The vibrations from the strap-on can stimulate the entire rectal area of the male, delivering a deeper stimulation to the prostate and the anus. Vibrating strap-ons can be used for roleplay, domination/submission, or role reversal sexy scenarios. Also, a next-level use for vibrating strap-ons is double penetration, which you can do using a penis and a vibrating strap-on attached to a compatible harness. We leave you to think of other uses for this exciting, sexy toy. Cleaning & Storing a Vibrating Strap-On When you are done using your vibrating strap-on, you need to clean it. If you use a model with a vibrating bullet, remove the bullet from the dildo and then clean it. If your chosen model is rated as splashproof, then you can only wash the “working end” or the insertable portion of the vibrating strap-on, being careful not to get water in the battery compartment or vibrating mechanism. If your model is waterproof, you can freely wash everything with soap and water. Silicone materials are the easiest to clean, as their surface is non-porous and effortless to wash. You can use an antibacterial soap and warm water or use a sex toy cleaner. If your model is textured, use a soft bristle brush to wash the textured parts, like the rim of the dildo head. Be careful no to immerse them in hot water, as the heat may damage the battery or the vibrating mechanism. That is why we always recommend you check the manufacturer’s instructions regarding cleaning your vibrating strap-on. If it comes with a harness that detaches from the dildo, in most cases, you can wash the harness with warm water, but if it is leather, then spot-cleaning is the way to go. Leave your vibrating strap-on dildo to air-dry, or pat dry with a lint-free towel and store it a dedicated sex toy storage bag, like a silk or satin bag, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Never store sex toys bunched up together, as contact with other materials can damage or deteriorate the surface. Wrapping Up We belive that we covered all the bases in our guide on how to choose a vibrating strap-on. We also tried to be all-encompassing, and we shared extra info on use, benefits, risks, and cleaning tips that we hope will help you get started. There's no need to wait – browse our store for the most exciting sex toys that will spice up your bedroom.

Yes, it is perfectly safe to use a vibrating strap-on for pegging. However, you must select a model that is safe for anal use, preferably one with a silicone probe, and remember to use plenty of lube to avoid hurting your partner. We advise you select quality, thick, water-based lube as this is compatible with all strap-on materials. Can I become addicted to my partner using a vibrating strap-on to perform penetration? It isn’t likely that you can become addicted. However, you shouldn’t expose your vagina or anus to vibrations very frequently, as this may cause a loss in sensitivity. Instead, we suggest you change things up from time to time by using other toys or using these without engaging the vibrations. I want to use a vibrating ring around my testicles while wearing a hollow vibrating strap-on. Is this safe? Some indications show that wearing a too-tight C-ring around the testicles or using too many vibrations in this area may lead to decreased fertility. However, if you play it smart and use such toys moderately, you should not have any problems. Still, we recommend using vibrating toys with caution.

How to Choose a Pegging Strap-On?

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
In this guide, we’ll discuss pegging, more precisely, how to choose a pegging strap-on that will help you drive your man wild. While pegging is a deeply satisfying sexual experience that involves targeted prostate stimulation, many men are turned off by the idea because of the fear they are doing something wrong or forbidden. Well, we have outlined this at length in another post, but we have to emphasize that pegging does not make you gay, and the best way to do this is to get a specialized pegging strap-on! What is a Pegging Strap-On? A pegging strap-on looks like a regular strap-on, as it uses the same harness with a pegging dildo. It has a specific shape and a narrower shaft designed for targeted prostate stimulation. There are pegging strap-ons that come with a firmly attached probe, and there are models that come with detachable probes. In any case, you can get a special pegging dildo and use it with a suitable strap-on harness. Pegging Strap-On Varieties We have to clearly outline that there are no separate strap-on harnesses you can use for pegging, as these are basically universal, but you have your choice of dildo attachments. That is why we recommend you use a separate strap-on harness or even strap-on underwear, and get a pegging dildo or another small strap-on dildo and utilize it to peg your man. O-Ring Strap-On Harnesses – the O-ring strap-on harness is the most common strap-on type, and this features an elastic O-ring where you need to fit the pegging dildo and attach the harness around your body. Strapless Strap-Ons – these are exciting couple’s toys that can also be considered as a type of double dildo.One side iof the strapless strap-on is an insertable egg that goes into a woman’s vagina. In contrast, the other side is a phallic-shaped probe that you can use to peg your man. Shop Pegging Dildos ===COLLECTION=== How to Select a Pegging Strap-On There are some key things to know when selecting a pegging strap-on, but please note that this is a relatively limited category of sex toys. Still, you must keep track of the following facts when you make a pegging strap-on choice: Strap-On Harness type: The strap-on harness is an essential part of the entire pegging experience, and you get common choices like woven nylon, fabrics, and leather. The best pegging strap-on harness should have a wide waistband and double straps between the legs and provide the most stability. Strap-On Harness fit – how the strap-on harness fits your body is critical to the intended use, as you must get a harness that will suit your body and be able to stay firmly in place and not move so you can perform the deed without fear of losing control over the pegging probe. We recommend you give harness briefs a chance, as these are intended for this act; Pegging Dildo size: the size of the pegging dildo you get is crucial for the pleasure your partner will experience. We suggest you bring a streamlined model that is designed for this purpose and one made from a body-safe material like silicone; Extra Features: some pegging strap-ons have additional features like vibrations. A wired or wireless remote controller usually controls the vibration, and you get to provide a deeply satisfying experience for your man. Pegging Strap-On Benefits All sex toys can bring excitement and sexual gratification to your sexy games, but you have to be open with your partner. If your man is open to pegging, you can show him immense pleasure by performing it on him, and we bet he’ll ask you for it again. This is why one of the critical benefits of pegging is male satisfaction and bringing partners closer together. It is such an intimate sexual act that will deepen the relationship between the partners. But to be most satisfied, both partners must be open about their needs, wants, expectations, and limitations. Some couples are open about this type of sex play, while others are uncomfortable, shy, or afraid to ask it from their partners. However, pegging is a great way to stimulate the prostate and provide full-body orgasms. Not only can men receive stimulation from all the nerve endings that are in the rectum, but they can also receive the benefits that come with having their prostate massaged. Pegging Strap-On Purchase Tips Before we leave you to shop, we have to share some tips that we believe will help you make an excellent pegging strap-on selection: Check the product info and images to get an idea of the pegging dildo’s size and the strap-on harness design; Always check the harness size and adjustability options; we suggest you opt for harnesses with wide waist straps that sit on the hips and won’t move during vigorous play; Check the pegging dildo material, as you should be looking for a body-safe, non-porous material that is comfortable, safe to use, and easy to maintain. Get plenty of lube that is compatible with the material of your pegging dildo. We recommed you get a thick water-based lube that is compatible with all sex toy materials and use a fair amount on the pegging probe as the anus is not self-lubricating and you need to make the entire experience pelasurable for your man. Cleaning & Storage Tips We noted above that it is best to get a pegging dildo made from body-safe materials, preferably silicone. It is recommended because it is durable and has a lifelike feeling. When you select a separate strap-on harness, you can get a model from nylon, leather, or microfiber. Make sure you wash your pegging dildo before and after use, and we recommend you use mild soap and warm water or any sex toy cleaner to remove all residue and have a clean, sterile toy. Don’t forget the harness; you need to clean it per the manufacturer’s instructions. Please note that you must store your pegging dildo in a safe place, like a specialized sex toy storage bag, and you can keep your strap-on harness in an underwear drawer. There you have it, guys: the main things you need to know when you go about buying a pegging strap-on.

The choice of lube depends on the material of the pegging dildo. Still, for the best experience, we recommend using a thick, water-based lube compatible with all materials, including silicone pegging dildos. How do I wear a pegging strap-on? Wearing the pegging strap-on depends on the harness variety you’ve chosen. Most strappy kinds are meant to be secured around your waist and hips or thighs. Underwear-style strap-ons will be put on just like your regular undies. We have a complete guide on how to use a strap-on which you can refer to and learn how to better satisfy your man. What should we be mindful of when using a pegging strap-on? Lubrication is the number one thing to pay attention to so that the experience is pleasant for your partner. You’ll also need to be careful about the speed and depth of penetration, especially if you’re both new to this kind of experience. Communcate with your partner and ask them often how they feel, as you don't have any feeling of the pegging probe and possible resistance by thier body. I’m very curious about anal male play; why should I give pegging a try? Since the anus is full with nerve endings, proper stimulation can be very pleasurable. But the male anus also contains the P-spot or the prostate. Because pegging provides deep stimulation, it is an excellent way to stimulate the P-spot and cause men to experience powerful prostate orgasms and intense pleasure. Will pegging make me gay? No, pegging will not make you gay, as being gay involves much more than a sexual aspect. Gay men are attracted to males, and they enjoy a different gratification. On the other side, pegging is a sexual activity performed on a man by a woman using her hands, a sex toy, or a specialized pegging strap-on.

How to Choose a Double Penetration Strap-On?

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
DP, or double penetration, is a real fantasy of many women. While some hide it well, others are very open about it and want to experience it. Still, except for inviting a third person in the bedroom, there is another, safer way to experience double penetration, and that is to get a double penetration strap-on. This contraption is designed to allow you and your partner to safely enjoy DP; here, we’ll discuss the key elements that you need to know when selecting a double penetration strap-on. What is a Double Penetration Strap-On? Double penetration strap-ons are sets that feature three major parts - a dildo or vibrator for penetration, a double penetration harness that straps the toy securely onto the wearer, and a separate hole for the penis. The specific design allows you to play with your partner and experience the coveted double penetration, but you won’t have to get a third person in your bed. All these features should be considered when buying your DP strap-on and ensure it can withstand whatever position or fantasy you want to bring to life. Double Penetration Strap-On Types The double penetration strap-ons come in several designs that allow you versatility in use. These provide a sense of fullness and continuous stimulation, ensuring you and your partner enjoy exploring different DP fantasies. Double Penetration Strap-On Harness – these are designed with a regular strap-on harness as the base and have an anal probe and an opening for the man’s penis or a dildo that you can use for double penetration. C-Ring Double Penetration Strap-Ons – the design of this double penetration cock ring that has a probe attached to it. The C-ring is obviously for the penis, and the probe is adjusted at the underside of the penis and is used for anal penetration. Shop Double Penetration Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Double Penetration Strap-On Benefits You and your partner can experience so much excitement when you engage in double-penetration sexy games, and the best way to do this is to get a double-penetration strap-on. One of the primary benefits of using a DP strap-on is that you don’t have to invite another person into your bed – you and your partner can enjoy all the pleasures without risking your relationship. Another benefit of using a DP strap-on is that you don’t risk any disease or uncomfortable situations. You can take things as slowly or quickly as possible and stop if something is wrong without any awkwardness. Double Penetration Strap-On Purchase Tips Here are some essential tips that we believe will help you to more easily select a double penetration strap-on that you will find easy and pleasurable to use: Check the size of the penis ring, and it should be outlined on the product info page; this way, you will know whether the model will fit around the penis; Check the harness size and adjustability options; we suggest you opt for harnesses with a comfortable design that will hold everything in place even during vigorous play; Check the insertable probe size and material, and only select body-safe materials like silicone or TPE. Also, ensure the probe is a size you can comfortably manage, as things will become tight during DP play. Check lube compatibility and get compatible lube, as this is essential for comfortable play. We recommend using a quality water-based lube that will help things slide easily and work great with your chosen DP strap-on. Shop DP Harnesses ===COLLECTION=== DP Strap-On Cleaning & Storage Tips Because DP involves things going into your vagina and anus, you need to pay extra attention to hygiene. The main thing is to get a DP strap-on made from body-safe materials like silicone. Silicone is waterproof and easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to wash it with soapy water or a sex toy cleaner. Also, make sure you store your DP strap-on toy in a safe place, away from heat and direct sunlight. We advise you to get a specialized sex toy storage bag that will ensure you have a safe place to store your DP strap-on and will keep it away from prying eyes. We hope our guide to choosing a double penetration strap-on is helpful for you, as we tried to cover all the critical aspects related to this topic.

FAQs What lube should we use for double penetration? The choice of lube depends on the material of your double-penetration strap-on toy. We always recommend you use a quality, thick, water-based lube, as it is compatible with all sex toy materials and all skin types. Does double penetration hurt? If you do it correctly, double penetration is not painful at all. First, talk about it with your partner, and make sure you engage in a lot of foreplay. Also, we advise you to engage in anal play before you go for DP. After you gain some experience in anal play with your partner, you can start exploring double penetration.

How to Choose a Strap-On Kit?

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Let us talk about strap-on kits, an exciting kit you can get and enter the fantastic world of strap-on play. You can have so much sexy entertainment with a strap-on, and you only need to know what type of toy to get. Lucky for you, here we cover all the bases on how to choose a strap-on kit that you and your partner can have hours of fun with. What is a Strap-On Kit? A strap-on set is a kit that contains all the parts you need for strap-on play. It includes a strap-on harness, one or more O-rings, and one or more harness-compatible dildos. You can find these in many designs that fit users with varied needs, wants, expectations, and experience levels. So, as you can see, there are several parts of a strap-on kit; thus, you should consider several facts when selecting a strap-on kit. Strap-On Kit Types Because of the nature of strap-on kits, you get a broad range of various models. Each of these brings its own features, and you and your partner can really enjoy exploring different fantasies. Here are several strap-on kit models: Beginner Strap-on Kits: these are designed with beginners in mind, and the strap-on harness is comfortable, and the probe is a beginner-size that you can safely use; Pegging Strap-on Kits: these include a strap-on that a woman should wear and a specialized pegging dildo designed for pegging; Vibrating Strap-on Kits: these contain a strap-on harness and a vibrating dildo or a separate vibrating bullet that you can place near the base of the dildo so both partners can enjoy the vibrations; Vac-U-Lock Kits: these include a strap-on harness and a Vac-U-Lock attachment base that fits all Vac-U-Lock dildos and probes; BDSM Sets: the BDSM sets come with more variety, as these usually include a strap-on harness with all the bells and whistles, but also have other sexy elements like handcuffs, a flogger, or something else; Double-Penetration Kits: these are intended for double penetration, so you get a strap-on harness where you can either place two dildos for DP or have a dildo/probe and your partner’s penis; Body-Dock Kits: The body-dock kits are fun and sexy, as these can fit all suction-cup base dildos, and the kits usually come with one or two models you can play with. Shop All Strap-On Kits ===COLLECTION=== How to Select a Strap-On Kit? When choosing a suitable strap-on set, you must focus on the type of harness you desire and the dildo it comes with. However, other aspects, like the material, waterproof properties, vibrations, etc., are vital in how your chosen strap-on kit will serve you. Here are the main things to look out for: Harness Type: Finding a comfortable harness is essential, as you’ll want to use it without fear of it falling off or wiggling during use. Some people may prefer a thong-style harness, which is less comfortable but more accessible. Others may opt for extra-secure harnesses with straps around the waist, hips, legs, and even shoulders for more extensive control over the strap-on dildo. We have to mention the underwear-style harnesses that are very nice and beginner-friendly. Harness Material: The harness material is essential, especially if you intend to wear the harness for a prolonged time. Leather harnesses are great for visual appeal and usually feel nice on the skin, but they may irritate you after a while. We suggest you choose woven nylon harnesses for convenience, as they’re often waterproof and easy to use. However, you need to ensure the straps are not too tight since more vigorous movement can cause unnecessary chafing and even cuts. Dildo Attachment: Strap-on harnesses offer two options: a dildo that’s firmly attached to the harness and can’t be removed and a removable dildo with either an O-ring attachment or a suction cup base that allows you to use your harness with different probes. The first option is usually less expensive, but the others allow for more extensive diversity, so most sex toy users prefer a harness with a removable dildo. Extra Features: Extras in a strap-on set can be everything from multiple dildos, different O-rings, vibrating probes, and bullet vibrators you can use in the internal harness pockets. The price of the strap-on set usually increases proportionally with the extra features it includes; however, you can easily find good-value products that feature the best of both worlds. Strap-On Kit Benefits You and your partner can experience so much excitement when you introduce a strap-on kit in your sexy games. One of the primary benefits of a strap-on kit is that you can enjoy various sexy fantasies that would otherwise be challenging to do. You can partake in double penetration scenarios without inviting a third person in your bedroom; you can peg your man with ease and style; you can spice up a stale sex life with ease, and much more. Strap-On Kit Purchase Tips Here we share several essential tips that we’ve prepared for you, and we think these will help you to select a strap-on kit that you will find easy and pleasurable to use: Check the size of the strap-on harness, and ensure you get a model that will fit your body. It would be best if you looked for an adjustable strap-on harness that you can adjust to a perfect fit; Check the dildo/probe size and material, and only select body-safe materials like silicone or TPE. Also, ensure the probe is a size you (or your partner) can comfortably manage; Check lube compatibility and get compatible lube, as this is essential for comfortable play. We recommend using a quality water-based lube to help things slide easily and work great with your chosen strap-on kit. Strap-On Kits Cleaning & Storage Tips Cleanliness is essential; you should be very careful when cleaning and maintaining your strap-on kit. We suggest you get a strap-on kit with a nylon strap-on harness and a dildo/probe made from body-safe materials like silicone. The woven nylon is easy to clean; you can often wash it with soap and water. Silicone is waterproof and easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to wash it with soapy water or a sex toy cleaner. After you wash and clean every part of your strap-on kit, make sure you store it in an appropriate place. We suggest you store your strap-on harness in an underwear drawer and store the dildo/probe in a specialized sex toy storage bag that will keep it away from prying eyes and direct sunlight. We hope our guide to choosing a strap-on kit is helpful for you, as we tried to cover all the critical aspects related to selecting a strap-on kit.

How to Choose Vac-U-Lock Dildos & Strap-Ons?

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Any fan of sex toys has probably heard of Vac-U-Lock, an innovative sex toy locking system invented by Doc Johnson that securely attaches various dildo models to a harness. The Vac-U-lock system allows effortless changing of dildo attachments: you can get a strap-on harness and a Vac-U-Lock attachment and get a plethora of compatible dildos to enjoy. Thus, here we’ll discuss all the critical aspects of how to choose a Vac-U-Lock dildo and strap-on that will serve you and your partner for years. What is a Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-On? The Vac-U-Lock system comes to us from Doc Johnson's sex toy collection, one of the most innovative US sex toy manufacturers that continuously brings exciting sex toys. The Vac-U-Lock harness and dildo system is practical and easy to master, and we believe you will love using it. The main feature that makes Vac-U-Lock so attractive is the option for interchangeable use of all Vac-U-Lock probes with the same harness or with each other. Each Vac-U-Lock toy has a specifically shaped hole in the base, which fits in the Vac-U-Lock strap-on plug. You need to snap the dildo into the plug, and you’ll be ready to go! Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-On Varieties The Vac-U-Lock dildo and strap-on system is attractive, and the beauty of it is that you use one Vac-U-Lock base and harness, and you get to use various Vac-U-Lock attachments. So, unlike with other sex toys, we’ll list the various Vac-U-Lock compatible attachments you can use with your Vac-U-Lock strap-on harness: Vac-U-Lock dildos Vac-U-Lock G-Spot stimulators Vac-U-Lock Anal toys Vac-U-Lock Double dildos Shop Vac-U-Lock Dildos and Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== How to Select a Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-On Set? You must consider a few things when you consider getting a Vac-U-Lock system. The choice is relatively easy, as Doc Johnson has made sure they offer good quality models that suit a broad range of Vac-U-Lock compatible toys. However, we’ve gathered a list of essential things you need to consider when selecting a Vac-U-Lock dildo & strap-on set: Harness adjustability: to have a good strap-on experience, you should get a harness that fits your body perfectly. Lucky for you, Vac-U-Lock offers adjustable harnesses that you can adjust to fit your body perfectly and hold the strap-on around your hips. The size adjustability is almost always clearly outlined in the product description, so you can find a size that will fit perfectly; Included dildo attachments: you can get a Vac-U-Lock harness and get separate compatible dildos, or you can get a complete Vac-U-Lock compatible strap-on kit. We suggest that beginners should get a smaller-sized dildo that they can safely manage, and after you gain experience, you can get an enormous Vac-U-Lock compatible dildo to use with your strap-on harness; Vibrating option: some Vac-U-Lock attachments come with additional features like vibrations. These are excellent, as they transfer the vibrations through the harness and the attachment so that both partners can feel and enjoy the buzzing effects. Even though these are usually more expensive, the vibrating plug Vac-U-Lock strap-on systems are a worthy investment that spices your sex life. Maintenance and care: the key to proper maintenance is to know the materials your harness and Vac-U-Lock attachment are made from. If your harness is made of washable materials and has a detachable Vac-U-Lock plug, cleaning it is a breeze. So, always check the manufacturer’s instructions on washing and maintaining your Vac-U-Lock dildo & harness. Vac-U-Lock Suction cup: we have to mention that you can also get a Vac-U-Lock compatible suction cup base and use the dildo attachment you have and enjoy hands-free action. Like other suction cup bases, you can stick the Vac-U-Lock attachment base to most flat surfaces and ride it as you wish! Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-On Benefits The Vac-U-Lock dildo and strap-on system can bring great variety to your sex life. The interchangeable dildos and probes spice up the sexual play, and you can enjoy so much variety. Also, you can use these for solo play, or you can play with a partner. The options and benefits are endless, as you get a broad range of Vac-U-Lock compatible porn-star dildos – dildos molded after famous porn stars. Some attachments are on the larger side, and even double-penetration models can refresh anyone’s sex life. Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-On Purchase Tips We share with you several vital tips that you need to be aware of when selecting a Vac-U-Lock dildo & strap-on option. We are talking about general tips that need to guide your buying experience, as these are crucial for a safe, satisfactory user experience: Know the strap-on harness size and whether it is adjustable: it is vital as the harness needs to be snug against your body and securely hold the attachment in place. Know the dildo size: it is crucial to get a Vac-U-Lock dildo that you can use, as some massive models may seem appealing but unusable for many. So, at first, start with a manageable size, and then you can consider getting a larger size Vac-U-Lock dildo. Always use compatible lube with your Vac-U-Lock dildos; we recommend you use only quality water-based lubes that are compatible with all sex toy materials, work with all skin types, and are effortless to clean from all surfaces. How to Clean and Store Vac-U-Lock Dildo & Strap-Ons In most cases, you can clean your Vac-U-Lock dildo with soap and water or any sex toy cleaner. However, if your Vac-U-Lock dildo has vibrations, then you must check if it is rated as waterproof for you to safely wash it with soap and water. Please also check the maintenance of your toys, as some models that are made from TPE need rejuvenating powder or a nice cornstarch sprinkle to keep the surface from becoming sticky. Next, store your Vac-U-Lock dildos in a safe place, preferably in a dedicated sex toy storage bag that will protect them from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Also, the strap-on harness needs washing, and most Vac-U-Lock strap-on harnesses can be machine-washed, line-dried, and stored in a linen drawer.

How to Choose a Strap-On Dildo

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
Strap-on sex is fun, and any couple can try one or another type of strap-on sex. However, there is a separate strap-on dildo for every use, and you need to know how to select the best strap-on dildo for the type of sexy fun you are after. Our experts have done their homework, and after testing and reviewing a lot of models, they’ve created the following guide on how to choose a strap-on dildo you and your partner will be pleased with. What Is a Strap-On Dildo? A strap-on dildo is a dildo that is designed to fit a strap-on harness. There are various strap-on dildo models on the market, but the main differences between them are the attachment types – the way the strap-on dildo attaches and is held in place in the strap-on harness. The most common type is the O-ring attachment, but you can also use a Vac-U-Lock dildo model or a dildo with a suction cup base, depending on your chosen harness. Shop Strap-On Dildos ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Strap-On Dildo? Like when selecting a regular dildo, choosing a strap-on dildo requires you to know the essential features your chosen model should have. We list the main features that you need to look at when selecting a strap-on dildo: Design – the design of the strap-on dildo is important, and you can select models that are smooth or veiny, dildos with pronounced heads, realistic strap-on dildos, or other details. Also, considering the design, you can select between models that don’t and models that feature testicles. Material – when it comes to material, we always recommend you get models that are made from body-safe materials like silicone, ABS, stainless steel, or glass. Well, you can’t use a metal or glass dildo in a strap-on, so you should get a silicone dildo model that is flexible, comfortable to use, and effortless to clean, as it is non-porous and can be easily sterilized. If possible, stay away from TPE/TPR models, or if you do get such a strap-on dildo, use it with a condom on. Size – the size of the strap-on dildo plays a key role, as you need to get a size you can safely manage. If you plan on using your strap-on for vaginal play, you can get a longer, thicker model, but if you plan on using it to peg your male partner or use it for anal sex, you need to get a suitably sized pegging dildo. Regarding the size, you need to know that you will lose about half an inch to an inch in the harness, so consider this when selecting the size of your strap-on dildo. It is sometimes wiser to get a longer dildo to use with a strap-on harness. Attachment type – this is an important consideration, as is the way the strap-on dildo attaches to the harness. The most common type is the O-ring attachment, where the dildo attaches to the harness with a specific ring. Most suction-cup dildos are also O-ring compatible, so you can use these with your preferred harness. But you can also use a suction-cup base dildo with a body dock-type harness where the dildo attaches to a smooth, concave plate on the front of the harness. The third type of attachment is the Vac-U-Lock system, invented by Doc Johnson. Additional features – here, we add the strap-on dildo features like vibrations, the option for the dildo to ejaculate, a hollow strap-on dildo, a double-penetration strap-on, and the like. Strap-On Dildo Models The strap-on dildos are an amazingly appealing category of sex toys we carry for you, and you can pick one (or more) from our excellent models, like: Strapless Strap-On – these are strap-on dildos that you don’t need to have a harness to use, as these feature a special design where the woman wears the vaginal bulb and has the dildo probe protruding forward, which is used to penetrate the other partner. Realistic Strap-On dildo – these feature a highly realistic design and are made from lifelike materials that look and feel like the real deal. Vibrating Strap-On dildo – the vibrating strap-on dildo is compatible with most strap-on harnesses and has a vibrating mechanism that provides extra sensations when you use it. Hollow Strap-On dildo – the hollow strap-on dildos can fit a penis and be used as a penis sleeve or a vibrating bullet and use it to enhance the sensations. Anal Strap-On dildo – these are slimmer than regular dildos and are more suited for anal sex or prostate stimulation. Benefits of Using a Strap-On Dildo Using a strap-on dildo will provides a new avenue of pleasure, and here we’ll outline the main benefits of using a strap-on dildo: Shared pleasure – penetrating your partner with a sex toy has a strong physical and psychological effect, and you both can enjoy the pleasure. Penetration is possible – lesbian couples have a way to enjoy penetrative sex with a suitable strap-on dildo and harness. Lesbian couples can use a strapless strap-on or a regular strap-on harness with a suitable strap-on dildo and enjoy more pleasure. Pegging – you can use a suitable strap-on dildo for pegging; it is the action of a woman penetrating a man with a dildo, a strap-on, or something else. Tips for Comfortable Strap-On Dildo Use Our sex experts advise you and your partner to talk things over before you introduce a strap-on dildo to your sexy fun, and also follow these tips for safe use: Start with a clean toy – always wash your sex toys before and after use, and make sure you use an antibacterial sex toy cleaner to wash your strap-on dildo. Quality silicone models can also be sterilized with a mild bleach solution or in boiling water. Plenty of lube – always use lube when you play with a strap-on, and stock up on water-based lube, as this is the best choice to use with all sex toy materials and is best suited for vaginal play. If you use a condom over your strap-on dildo, you can use silicone-based lube, which is more suited for anal play. Experiment & enjoy – make sure you and your partner agree on using a strap-on, devote time to foreplay and relax. Start with slow insertion, and once you both get in the groove, you can experiment and enjoy the sensations. Don’t forget to experiment with stimulation methods that bring you both the most pleasure. Our guide on how to choose a strap-on dildo covers the basics, but we invite you to read through all of the guides in our blog, where you’ll learn a lot more about choosing and using various sex toys.

Here, our experts bring you a detailed overview of the types of strap-ons you can find and enjoy with your partner. We outline the different models and the ways these can be used. You can find two general types of strap-ons: staples strap-ons and strap-ons with a harness. These categories are based on the type of harness they use, but there are a lot more strap-on varieties for you to enjoy and explore the various options with your partner. Strapless Strap-Ons The strapless strap-ons are intended for women to wear. One end features an insertable egg that the woman needs to hold with her vaginal muscles, and the other end has the dildo. There are a couple of advantages to using a strapless strap-on. For example, it's a one-package deal, and there are no more parts you need to get, which makes it a cost-effective option. It is simple to use a strapless strap-on; it takes seconds to put on, and this model offers penetration for both partners. Some models come with internal vibrations that add to the shared pleasure. Beginners may find it hard to control it at first and might need more extended periods before they adjust to using it, which is why strapless strap-ons are not recommended for novices. On the other hand, each vagina is different, and you will have to use your experience with other sex toys to find the right size for you. Additionally, since you'll need to use your pelvic muscle strength to use the strap-on during sex, you'll need to activate muscles you've never used before, which has a beneficial health effect. Shop Strapless Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Realistic Strap-Ons The realistic strap-on is the main version of the strap-on toy; these have a strap-on harness and a strap-on-compatible realisitc dildo. Most of the realistic strap-ons don't have any vibrations and are very easy to use. One can opt for a panty-style harness and a strap-on-compatible dildo and use it to have penetrative sex (for lesbian couples) or use the strap-on to engage in anal play (for heterosexual couples). Shop Realistic Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Vibrating Strap-Ons Vibrating strap-ons are an upgraded version of the regular version that brings extra sensations. Some models feature a vibrating mechanism in the dildo shaft that can be remotely controlled for ease of use. They can be designed specifically for men and women and come in all shapes and sizes. Since the only difference between them and realistic strap-ons is the vibrations, there are no other specifics you need to remember when using vibrating strap-ons. Shop Vibrating Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Hollow Dildo Strap-Ons Hollow strap-ons are designed primarily for men to use. The majority of these function as penis sleeves where you can slide your penis and prolong the sex act for your partner even if you don't have the stamina. The hollow dildo strap-on is excellent for men with erectile dysfunction because it allows them to enjoy a healthy sex life. Additionally, many men opt for vibrating hollow dildo strap-ons since they and their partners can enjoy the vibes for some extra stimulation. Shop Hollow Dildo Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== Squirting Strap-Ons The squirting strap-on brings a more realistic feeling to your sex games. The main element of the squirting strap-ons is the option for the dildo to ejaculate cum-like liquids or lube (depending on your choice). The squirting option can be a pump or a syringe that you must press to engage the squirting action. You can use water-based lubricants or semen-like lubricants to make the whole experience more realistic. Some consider these a challenge, as they are more demanding to clean, as you must take apart the pump and syringe and clean everything well before storing them. Pegging Strap-Ons Pegging strap-ons are tailored for anal play. Pegging strap-ons are generally smaller compared to regular dildos but come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can choose between realistic and smooth pegging dildos for maximum pleasure, even opt for ones with vibrating mechanisms. Those who want to engage in anal training can choose special pegging strap-on kits featuring multiple dildos with gradually increasing sizes. Since the anus is filled with nerve endings, pegging strap-ons are a great way to stimulate the P-spot, causing men to experience powerful prostate orgasms and intense pleasure. Shop Pegging Strap-On Dildos ===COLLECTION=== Double Penetration Strap-On The double-penetration strap-ons feature very creative designs and can be used by men and women. One design is intended for women and trans men, with dual dildos - one facing outwards to penetrate the partner and the other inwards to penetrate the wearer. The other option is a strap-on harness with a prosthetic dildo and a C-ring-type hole to fit around the penis. They're designed for men who want to provide their woman with a double penetration without inviting a third to their bedroom. We need to note that there are also double penetration strap-ons that feature two dildos that women can use on each other to emulate this stimulation. Shop DP Strap-Ons ===COLLECTION=== The Appeal of Strap-on Sex Sex with a strap-on is becoming popular among many couples, and more and more people have reported they've introduced a strap-on in their bedroom activities. While in some cases, the strap-on is a replacement for a penis (like between lesbian couples), often the power play and bonding with your partner are more appealing. Many people have also reported that using a strap-on is not mainly about mimicking heterosexual sex, but it has more to do with bringing pleasure to your partner. We are discussing the option for a female partner to penetrate her male partner for P-spot stimulation, for example. There is a profound shift in the power dynamic where the roles are completely reversed, but the act is not in any way displeasurable. In fact, most couples who've tried pegging have said it has brought them closer together and made them more intimate. The same goes for using a sexy underwear harness with a non-flesh-colored dildo that takes things out of the realm of imitating realistic sex but going into the world of fantasy and fulfilling different sexy fantasies. Overall, the appeal of strap-on sex is different for different couples, but the common conclusion is that strap-on sex is fun and equally engaging for both partners. The pleasure people reap from this activity is immense, and we recommend that any couple try one or more of the strap-on types we offer, which opens an entirely new avenue for pleasure. Of course, we have detailed guides on choosing and using various sex toys in our blog, including the different types of strap-ons. We also have an excellent sex toy store where you can find an outstanding offer of strap-ons, strap-on harnesses, dildos, vibrators, and other essentials you need for better sex.

How to Choose a Rabbit Vibrator

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
The mighty rabbit vibe is named after the attractive bunny ears that protrude from the clitoral teaser. Still, this is not how the rabbit vibe got its name, as this toy was invented in Japan in the 1980s. The country’s strict laws caused Vibratex, the manufacturer, to design their sex toys using animal shapes and make them in bright colors. Many of these were quite popular, but the Rabbit Vibrator stood above the rest. Still, it was in 1998, when Sex and the City devoted a whole episode to the rabbit vibe, that this sex toy gained global fame, and the rest, as they say, is history. So, here we discuss all you need to know on how to choose a rabbit vibrator and why this vibe is the prime choice for many ladies. What Is a Rabbit Vibrator? The rabbit vibrator is a high-tech vibrating sex toy that provides combined clitoral and G-spot stimulation. The main feature of the rabbit vibe is that it has an L-shaped protrusion from the main shaft that curves upward to reach the clit. This sex toy has come a long way since its inception in the 1980s, and today, different companies have improved the design and features, providing us with multiple pleasure toy choices. Shop Rabbit Vibrators ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Rabbit Vibrator? You need to choose the right rabbit vibe for you so you can have a profoundly pleasurable experience. The options are very diverse, so here we list the main things to note when choosing a rabbit vibe, especially if you are a beginner in using such a sex toy: Design – the design of the rabbit vibe is the first thing you need to look at when selecting your new toy. You can choose between models with straight shafts, models with curved shafts, or models with bulbous or textured shafts. You can also choose a model with a rigid or flexible shaft or even a model that thrusts on top of the vibrating clitoral stimulator. The options are versatile, so we suggest any beginner pick a model that is simpler in design and easier to use, and after gaining some experience, you can go for a more advanced model. Size – the different rabbit vibes come in various sizes, but all vaginas are different too, so getting a model that fits you in size is vital. You already have a good idea of what insertable size you are comfortable with, so get a rabbit vibe that is compatible with that size. If you have doubts, then we recommend you get a smaller model, as you can more easily use a smaller model instead of a larger one that may be painful to use. Also, consider the clitoral tickler size, as the majority of models are designed to hug the clit and provide targeted vibrations. We also suggest you get a model that has a slightly flexible tickler so you can get some room to move and find that sweet spot. Material – The material choice is critical for safe use, and we always recommend that you get a model made from silicone. Silicone is non-porous, body-safe, and comfortable to use, and most silicone sex toys are waterproof and effortless to clean. Please note that silicone toys are only compatible with water-based lubes. We suggest you stay away from rabbit vibes made from jelly, as this material is porous and challenging to clean. Power – you can choose between battery-powered or rechargeable models, and both have their merits. However, our primary recommendation is to get a high-tech rechargeable model that you can use over and over again and have a reliable rabbit vibe that will serve you for years. High-tech rabbit vibes come with battery level indicators, so you’ll know when it is time to charge your toy. Waterproof rating – we recommend you get a rabbit vibrator that is waterproof or at least splashproof. You can use a waterproof rabbit vibe in the shower or bathtub, and it is also effortless to wash and keep clean. Splashproof toys are also straightforward to clean, as you can rinse them with sex toy cleaner and warm water, but non-waterproof toys are challenging to maintain. Extra Features – apart from the main features of the rabbit vibe, which is to provide internal and clitoral stimulation, some models come with more features like thrusting, warming, sucking, rotating, etc. You can also get models with remote controllers or app-controlled vibes that allow you app connectivity and long-distance control. Tips for Using a Rabbit Vibrator Using a rabbit vibrator is easy, and the key is relaxation and getting used to the sensations. Here are a couple of tips to help you get used to using a rabbit vibe: Charge it and learn the controls – before you start using your rabbit vibe, charge it and learn the controls. Try out all the buttons and see which button controls the vibrations and intensities; scroll through all the intensities and patterns so you won’t be surprised or ruin the experience once you start playing with it. Relax and enjoy – foreplay is key, and you should devote enough time to sexy teasing and getting in the mood to play. It does not matter if you are playing by yourself or with a partner, as getting in the right mindset is essential for intense pleasure. Do the things that set the mood, like music, candles, or even porn, and allow your body to become relaxed and aroused. Always use lube – you should use lube any time you use a sex toy, and the rabbit vibe is no exception. Even if your vagina is very wet, adding some lube is helpful, as it will make insertion better and the clitoral teasing even more comfortable. We recommend you only stick to water-based lube that is safe for vaginal use and is compatible with silicone rabbit vibes. Experiment with movements and sensations – start playing with your rabbit vibe slowly, first teasing your erogenous zones, and once significantly aroused, you can lip the shaft inside the vagina. Test the movements and position the clitoral teaser on your clit, moving it slightly to find the best spot. Try different movements and poses, and experiment with the things you like the most. Cleaning a Rabbit Vibrator You need to clean your rabbit vibrator thoroughly to ensure you have a safe toy to use. You’re your waterproof rabbit vibrator with soap and water or your favorite sex toy cleaner, and you can also clean and wash a splashproof rabbit vibe with water and sex toy cleaner. Once it is clean and dry, store it in a particular sex toy storage bag and keep it away from other sex toys, heat, and direct sunlight. We hope that our guide on how to choose a rabbit vibrator is helpful. Check out our blog, where we share different guides on choosing and using various sex toys. We invite you to browse our sex toy store, where we carry a broad range of rabbit and regular vibrators, dildos, male toys, anal toys, BDSM gear, sex essentials, and all else you need for better sex.

How to Choose a Vibrator?

by Kate Miller on Jan 12 2026
The vibrator is one of the most popular sex toys today; it deserves this title because the vibrator is powerful, versatile, and effortless to use. When we are talking about a vibrator, we need to outline that this sex toy is available in a massive variety of models; it is incredible how many different options we have at our disposal. So, our experts here will discuss all about vibrators, and we’ll outline how to choose a vibrator that will deliver all the fantastic sensations and then some more. What is a Vibrator? The vibrator is a sex toy that has an internal vibrating mechanism that vibrates and thus stimulates the areas it is applied to. Because it is the best-known and most popular sex toy, it needs no further introduction, and nearly 80% of women have reported they own at least one vibrator. The vibrator options are incredibly varied, as there are simple vibrators that are shaped like dildos, but there are also bullet vibes, finger vibes, G-spot vibes, and a lot more options, which we’ll talk about below. Shop All Vibrators ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose a Vibrator? Before we go into the specifics of choosing a vibrator, we need to outline several questions you should think about that will help you decide what type of vibrator to get. Because there are different models of vibrators, you need to think about: The area you wish to stimulate – while you can get a simple bullet vibe that you can aim at your clit and get a quick orgasm, we need to note that there are so many different vibrator types aimed at other body areas like nipple vibrator, G-spot vibrator, anal vibrator, a prostate massager, and even vibrating C-ring. Thus, consider the area you wish to stimulate and choose a vibrator accordingly. The sensations you wish to experience – for this, you need to consider the type of sensations you want to experience, like broad stimulation with rumbly vibrations, targeted stimulation with high-speed buzzing, pulsations, continuous vibrations, or a vibrator with patterned vibrations. Where you will use the vibrator – this relates to using the vibrato in your bedroom only or branching out and using the vibrator in the shower, the bathtub, or even the pool, in which case you’ll need a waterproof model. What extra features you like – this pertains to features like a hands-free option, remote controller, app connectivity and long-distance control, warming sensations, etc. Now that you have the basic answers, let’s talk about the key things you must pay attention to when choosing a vibrator: Material – we are always talking about selecting sex toys from body-safe materials, preferably silicone. The high-quality vibrators are all made from silicone, which is non-porous, scent-free, durable, and effortless to clean. You can also find vibrators made from ABS plastic, but we advise you to avoid vibrators made from TPE or jelly, as these are porous, low-quality materials. Design – the design of the vibrator is the next thing you need to consider, as the shape will determine how you can use it. If you want to use it for internal stimulation, you can get a G-spot or a thrusting vibrator; you can get a clitoral vibrator or a tongue vibrator for targeted clitoral stimulation, etc. Battery-powered or rechargeable – this is another vital thing to consider when selecting a vibrator. If you get a battery-powered model, you need to stock up on compatible batteries, while you need to plan and recharge your rechargeable vibrator when you want to use it. Extra Features – while the main feature of the vibrator is to vibrate, there are models with additional features like thrusting, warming, sucking, rotating, etc. Waterproof or splashproof options, buttons or remote controllers, travel locks, etc, fall under extra features. Vibrator Types As you’ve probably noted, vibrators come in an impressive variety, so you may be a little overwhelmed when selecting a model. That is why here we list the most common vibrator models you can find in our sex toy store: Wand Vibrators – what was initially designed as a neck massager is now one of the most famous and most powerful vibrators in the world. Plus, not only can you use it for clitoral stimulation, but you can also find waterproof models that you can use and get creative in various places. Clitoral Vibrators – these are models specifically designed to provide targeted clitoral stimulation, and we carry models that have flickering tongues, clitoral suckers, and with other functions that you can use to tease, play and reach orgasm in minutes. Rabbit Vibrators – these are models that are designed for simultaneous stimulation of the G-spot and the clitoris. These also come in varying designs and come with appealing features that many women enjoy. Thrusting & Pulsating Dildos – these vibrators also combine thrusting and pulsating features for a deeper, more intense stimulation. The beauty of these is that most of these come with variable controls that allow you to combine the sensations. G-Spot Vibrators – these are vibrators that are designed for specific G-spot stimulation, which is something that many women enjoy immensely. Tongue Vibrators – these are vibrators designed to emulate the movements you experience during oral sex, with the vital difference that tongue vibrators don’t get tired and can provide intense pleasure. Finger Vibrators – these are small vibrators you can attach to your fingers and use to stimulate different erogenous zones. These are small and compact, and you can use them during solo and partnered play. Bullet Vibrators – the bullet vibrator is the most famous and most versatile vibrator type, and it is one of the most-used sex toys in the world. Egg Vibrators – these are egg-shaped insertable vibrators that provide a deep internal massage. Plus, you can wear these in public and enjoy the vibes. App-Controlled Vibrators – the app-controlled vibrators are high-tech sex toys that you can control via an app. Some of these allow long-distance control, so you can still play with your partner, even when you are not together. Nipple Vibrators – these are designed to attach to the nipples and stimulate them with vibrations. People who enjoy nipple stimulation will definitely enjoy these. Vibrating Panties – these are special vibrators designed to attach to the panties and sit on the clitoris. Most of these are remote-controlled and allow you to enjoy different stimulation patterns. Vibrating Dildo – this is a penis-shaped vibrator that you can use as a regular dildo or engage the vibrations and get some more stimulation and pleasure. Anal Vibrators – these vibrators are designed specifically for anal use, and they have a butt-plug-like shape for easy insertion and pleasurable use. Benefits of Using a Vibrator Besides the obvious benefit of using a vibrator - sexual pleasure and guaranteed orgasms, there are many other benefits, including positive effects on health, like: Sexual pleasure – this is the main reason why you would use a vibrator, as the targeted vibrations make for a pleasurable sexual experience and slow or fast orgasms. More arousal in women – using a vibrator can help women increase their sexual desire and can help with arousal, which helps with increased satisfaction and improved sexual function. Pain relief – orgasms are a known pain reliever, as hormones released during an orgasm are natural pain relievers. Of course, you can easily and quickly reach an orgasm when using the appropriate vibrator. Improve health – regular orgasms help improve health, as the orgasm triggers a complex hormonal mechanism and balances testosterone, which has a positive effect on heart, bone, and skin health. Strengthen pelvic muscles – using a vibrator can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which helps women have tighter vaginas and more powerful orgasms. It also helps with increased blood flow through the genitals and better relaxation. Improve incontinence – stronger pelvic muscles help women with incontinence, and the best way to help these muscles is to use a vibrator and have regular orgasms. Better sleep – orgasms help you fall asleep faster and have quality sleep. Thus, instead of a sleeping pill, grab your trusty vibe and enjoy an orgasm before bed! Tips for Using a Vibrator We all know how to use a vibrator; even beginners intuitively know how to use one. Still, here are some tips that we feel are important to heed when playing with a vibrator: Always use lube – even though you may think you are aroused enough, and you don’t need lube, it is wise to add a dab of compatible lube before you insert your vibrator inside, as it helps reduce friction and make things glide comfortably. You should also add some lube when using a vibrator on the outside, especially on your clit, to prevent chafing. We advise you to use a quality water-based lube, as this is the best option for vaginal use. Learn the controls – before you start playing with your vibrator, make sure you learn the controls and test them all. Scroll through the buttons and vibration patterns, and if you have an interactive vibrator, make sure you check the connectivity and app control options. Charge the batteries – if you have a rechargeable vibrator, charge it before use. If you have a half-empty vibe, it is better to drain the batteries completely and then place them to charge to prolong the battery life. If your vibrator uses batteries, make sure you stock up on compatible batteries. Experiment with movements and sensations – once you start playing with your vibrator and you become comfortable with it, you can try different poses and different movements. Try and see how you like the vibe teasing your clit or your vulva or how it feels when you move it in and out and feel the vibrations spreading through your nether regions. Cleaning a Vibrator Cleaning a vibrator depends on the construction: you can wash a waterproof vibrator with soap and water or use your preferred sex toy cleaner. Also, the splashproof vibes need careful washing and rinsing of the business end. After you clean and dry your vibe, store it in a sex toy storage bag or box, away from other sex toys. If your chosen vibrator is rechargeable, put it on to charge, and it will be ready for you. We hope that our guide on choosing a vibrator is helpful, but we have prepared plenty of guides on choosing and using various sex toys, which you can check out in our blog. We invite you to browse our sex toy store, where we carry a broad range of vibrators, dildos, male sex toys, anal toys, BDSM gear, and essentials for better sex.
