Best Dildo Bumpers for Comfort & Protection: How to Avoid Bruising During Strap-On Play

I've just brought your corset-back leather harness to go with the dildo I also bought from Sh! I have quite a pronounced mons pubis and delicate skin, so I've been looking at the bumpers. And I'm going around in circles as some look pretty aggressive with hard bumps. What would you recommend if I want padded protection for me (the giver)? My partner wants it pretty hard and I want sufficient padding so I don't end up bruised and sore. Thanks!

Hey,

Thanks for getting in touch! This is a great question, and we're sure many customers will be interested in how to spare yourself from any bruising during strap-on & pegging sex.

We agree with you; the grinders look aggressive and painful, but thankfully, the pics don't say more than a thousand words on this occasion. There is no way to show how soft the bumpers are, but they are s u p e r - s o f t. Like marshmallow soft. Strokable and velvety. We cannot convey how gorgeous the silicone grinders are to touch. You have to try one for yourself! (We have even been known to use them as stress balls!)

Best Strap-On Dildo Bumpers

We stock a range of Bananapants dildo bumpers designed for this reason. The soft silicone pads sit against the giver's pubic area under the strap-on harness, protecting the delicate skin from bruising and discomfort (we know how hard y'all like to go!).

There are a couple of different versions. One type features a hole to pop the dildo base into. The other type of dildo bumper has a flat base that sticks to the base of the dildo. Both types are great; it mainly depends on what kind of dildo you have.

A dildo with a rounded base or a flared suction base works better with a grinder with a hole. A flat-based dildo can be enjoyed with both types of bumpers.

The hand-made Sh! silicone dildos are poured with flat bases and suit both types of Bananapants grinders.

How to Avoid Pubic Bruising During Strap-On & Pegging Sex

Bananapants grinders are easy to use. Slip the dildo base into the hole of the grinder pad or against the flat pad, depending on which type of bumper you have.

Lube up the side of the bumper facing your vulva. This enhances sensations and makes the pad so lush to grind against. Slip the dildo + bumper combo into your strap-on harness and adjust for the best, most comfortable fit. Ensure the pad sits comfortably against your vulva. Done? Ok. You are now ready to ride!

Pimp Your Bumper Pad

Want to get fizzical while you get it on? A couple of the Bananapants grinders feature a cavity to hold a small bullet vibrator. This is fantastic if you need (or want) vibration to orgasm. Simply slip the bullet in the hole and get your vibe on!
