Many customers ask how to choose the right strap-on harness and how different styles impact ease of use, comfort, and how securely they hold the dildo. And honestly, it’s a great question - because not all harnesses are created equal. What feels supportive and sexy for one person might feel fiddly or uncomfortable for another.
Whether you’re brand new to strap-on play or looking to upgrade from a “this seemed like a good idea at the time” purchase, the options can feel a bit overwhelming at first: briefs, jockstraps, adjustable straps, open styles… Each one brings something different to the party in terms of fit, feel, and control.
If you’re wondering what will actually stay put when things get enthusiastic, what will feel good on your body (not just look good in the box), and how to match a harness to your comfort level, partner dynamics, and preferred dildos - this article has you covered. Let’s break it down so you can choose something that feels confident, comfortable, and genuinely fun to use :)
Our strap-on harnesses may look complicated, but there are just two styles to choose from.
- Strap-on with two back straps: This style is worn jock-style and has two leg straps that divide between your legs.
- Underwear-style strap-on harness: This style is worn like a pair of underpants.
Why Choose a Harness with Two Back Straps?
-
The two back straps divide between your legs and curve around your buttocks. This makes the strap-on harness very comfortable to wear and keeps your sexy bits accessible.
-
Made from soft leather in several beautiful colours, these strap-on harnesses sit softly and securely against the skin. They fasten with D-rings, so there's no buckle-pinch.
-
A front panel holds the dildo close to the pubic bone. Every strap-on harness comes with three (3) interchangeable O-ring sizes so it can be used with dildos of different sizes.
-
Wide adjustability within the sizes means partners can share the same strap-on harness.
-
Compatible with a Dual-Dildo Accessory, which gives the harness wearer the option of penetration for themselves while wearing this harness. Here's how to use a dual dildo accessory.

Wide-Back Strap-On Harness
Why Choose a Strap-On Harness with a Wide Back?
-
A wide-back harness is stylish and comfortable with a shapely back panel that hugs your lower back and hips to fully support your dildo, no matter how large or heavy the dildo is.
-
Adjustable D-ring fasteners are riveted to the main panel, so there is no need to position the leg straps on the waistband - just pull them tight for the perfect size adjustment.
How to Choose the Right Size Strap-On Harness
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, so it only makes sense that harnesses do too. That’s why we offer a wide range of sizing options across our strap-on harnesses. Our sizing does tend to run on the generous side compared with standard clothing sizes, so if you find yourself between sizes, we usually recommend opting for the smaller size for a more secure fit.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that leather is a strong, natural material that will soften and gently stretch with wear over time.
If you find the adjustable leg straps are a little long once you’ve got everything tightened to your liking, don’t worry - that’s easy to fix. Simply tuck any excess length neatly behind the hip straps to keep things secure and out of the way during use.
How to Put On 2-Strap Harnesses
Whether you choose a wide-back strap-on or a simpler style, putting on and removing a 2-strap harness is the same.
- If you can wiggle the harness up over your hips without fully undoing it, you’ll want to loosen the front straps slightly through the D-rings first, leaving around 3–5 cm of strap at the ends for easy adjustment later.
- If it doesn’t slip on comfortably, don’t force it - simply undo one of the front straps so you can step in more easily.
- Step into the leg loops as you would a pair of trousers, one leg at a time.
Pull the harness up so the back panel sits comfortably across your lower back, then bring the front panel into place over your pubic area.
- Slide your dildo through the O-ring so it sits snugly against your body, then adjust its position so it feels stable and aligned.
- Once everything is in place, tighten the front leg straps by pulling them evenly and gradually downward on both sides to ensure a balanced fit.
- For extra security, hinge forward slightly at the waist and give the front straps another gentle pull to fine-tune the fit.
- To remove the harness, simply loosen or undo one front strap and step out as you would with underwear.
Pro Tip: You don't need to undo the lacing on the corset harness - it's purely for decoration :)
Underwear-Style Strap-On Harnesses
Thong, brief, or pant-style strap-on harnesses are designed to be worn just like regular underwear, making them feel intuitive and easy to put on. Because of their fixed fit, these styles are best suited to one wearer - but can be comfortably shared with a partner if you happen to be the same clothing size.
Why Choose an Underwear-Style Strap-On Harness?
Underwear-style strap-on harnesses are a popular choice for anyone who wants things simple, secure, and ready to go. They offer speedy, no-fuss strap-on action with a fit that feels more like regular underwear.
With no straps to adjust or fastenings to fiddle with, they’re quick to put on and comfortable to wear. They also sit smoothly under clothing, with no tell-tale buckles - making them a discreet option if you want something you can keep on under your outfit.
This style works best with slimmer, lighter dildos, which helps maintain comfort and stability while keeping everything feeling natural and easy to move in.
- Thong harness: XS: 8-10 | Small: 10-12 | Medium: 12-14 | Large: 14-16
- Rodeoh harness briefs: XS 23-24 inch waist - 4XL 46-49 inch waist
How to Put on a Thong or Pant-Style Strap-On
- Step into the harness and pull it up just as you would a thong or a pair of underwear.
- Slide your dildo through the front opening and adjust it so it sits comfortably and securely in place.
- To remove, simply pull the harness down and step out of it.
