How to Choose a Strap-On Dildo

When embarking on the journey of selecting a strap-on dildo, numerous crucial factors come into play to ensure a fulfilling and functional sexual experience. It’s essential to weigh the pros and cons of different materials and understand how they perform in the context of strap-on use.

The desire for a highly realistic experience often leads us to consider dildos made of materials like CyberSkin. These dildos are renowned for their ability to mimic the feel of real skin, providing an incredibly lifelike sensation. Many users are drawn to the tactile experience they offer, which can enhance the overall sense of immersion during sexual play. For those who value a more intimate and realistic touch, CyberSkin can seem like an enticing option.

However, when it comes to using CyberSkin dildos with a strap-on harness, significant issues arise. CyberSkin is an extremely stretchy and soft material. This softness, while great for direct manual use, becomes a drawback when attached to a harness. The lack of firmness means it has difficulty maintaining a forward-pointing position. When placed within the harness O-ring, the CyberSkin suction cup may easily deform due to its pliable nature. During more energetic sexual movements, which are common in strap-on play, the forces exerted can cause the dildo to slip out of the ring. This not only disrupts the flow of the experience but also poses a potential safety concern. Moreover, as the action becomes more intense and vigorous, the constant pressure and movement can lead to further problems. Over time, the repeated insertion and removal in a strap-on setup, combined with the softness of the material, may cause the base of the dildo to indent or deform. This can affect its fit within the harness and its overall functionality. Additionally, when removing the CyberSkin dildo from the harness, the friction between the 带子 (unclear term, perhaps “strap” or “band”) and the ring can potentially cause slight tearing on the surface of the material. Despite these limitations, CyberSkin dildos and vibrators are still highly suitable for hands-on, solo play. In such scenarios, where the dildo doesn’t need to endure the rigors of being attached to a harness and subjected to the forces of partner interaction, they can provide a very realistic and enjoyable sexual experience. For those seeking a more stationary or controlled setting for solo pleasure, I’ve listed some of our most lifelike suction cup dildos made of CyberSkin. These can be great options for individuals who prioritize a hyper-realistic feel during their personal sexual exploration.

Hard jelly dildos can be a more practical choice for strap-on use compared to their soft counterparts. The key factor is the firmness of the shaft. When considering using a jelly dildo with a wearable harness, it’s crucial to ensure that the shaft is rigid enough to be inserted into the body effectively. A firm shaft provides the necessary support and stability during use. It can withstand the movements and pressures involved in strap-on play without deforming or losing its shape. This allows for a more reliable and consistent sexual experience. Unlike soft jelly dildos, which share similar drawbacks to CyberSkin in terms of lack of rigidity, a hard jelly dildo can offer a balance between some degree of flexibility and the required sturdiness. It can provide a more comfortable insertion while still maintaining its position and functionality within the harness. When shopping for a jelly dildo for strap-on use, it’s important to carefully examine the product’s specifications and reviews to ensure that the shaft’s firmness meets your needs. Testing the flexibility and firmness by gently squeezing or bending the dildo before purchase can also give you a better idea of its suitability for strap-on play.

Soft jelly dildos, unfortunately, are not well-suited for use with a strap-on harness. The reasons mirror those of CyberSkin. Their excessive softness prevents them from maintaining a proper position and providing the necessary support during use. They are more likely to deform under the stress of being attached to a harness and subjected to movement. In a strap-on scenario, where stability and functionality are crucial, the lack of firmness in soft jelly dildos can lead to a less satisfying and potentially unreliable sexual experience. They may not be able to provide the consistent pressure and penetration depth required, and may even pose a risk of slipping out of the harness or becoming misaligned during use.

We often come across glass dildos being marketed as excellent candidates for harness attachments. At first glance, their flat, round base seems to suggest they would be a perfect fit. After all, a flat base is an important feature for stability in a harness setup. However, in practice, glass dildos may not live up to this expectation.

One of the main problems with glass dildos is their weight. I personally tried the glass dildo shown in the accompanying photo, and it quickly became apparent that the weight was a significant factor. During use, the heavy glass dildo constantly exerts a downward pull. This continuous downward force has several consequences. Firstly, it places a great deal of stress on the harness. As a result, we can observe visible signs of stretching on the back of the strap due to the pressure exerted by the weight. Even when using a metal ring, which is typically expected to provide some stability, the base of the glass dildo seems to wobble out of the holder. This lack of stability not only affects the overall experience but also poses potential safety risks. The constant movement and the heavy weight make it extremely difficult to maintain a secure and stable connection between the dildo and the harness. It can lead to discomfort for the user and may even disrupt the flow of sexual activity. In contrast to glass, more durable materials like rubber or a sturdy gel are often more preferable for strap-on use. Rubber dildos, for example, offer a good combination of flexibility and strength. They are better able to withstand the movements and forces involved in strap-on play without causing excessive stress on the harness or presenting the same risks of detachment as glass dildos. A sturdy gel also has its advantages, being somewhat flexible while maintaining the necessary firmness to function well within a harness setup. When choosing a strap-on dildo, it’s of utmost importance to carefully consider the material’s properties and how they will perform in a harness context. By taking these factors into account and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different materials, you can make a more informed decision and select a dildo that best suits your specific needs and preferences for strap-on play. This will ensure a more comfortable, safe, and enjoyable sexual experience, whether you’re using it for solo exploration or with a partner.
