Most commonly used for pegging (that’s dildo-in-butt) and strap-on sex (that’s dildo-in-any-hole play), strap-on harnesses secure a dildo in front of the wearer's genitals, like a make-shift penis. Nearly as versatile as a sex pillow, strap-ons can be used for both vaginal and anal penetration, as well as to simulate a blow job and more, says Searah Deysach, sex educator and owner of Early to Bed, a pleasure product company in Chicago. And if you're a strap-wearer who's also interested in vaginal penetration, you can even find a strap-on with a double-ended dildo.

With so many ways to use a strap-on, it should come as no surprise that options abound for first-time buyers.

If you're a newcomer to strap-on sex or pegging and aren't sure what you'll like? Consider investing in a kit. Generally speaking, they’re easier to purchase and less expensive than buying the dildo and harness separately. Then, once you've mastered the kit, you can use that as a guide to help you decide which kinds of harnesses and dildos you'd like to try, Deysach says.

But Lisa Finn, a sex educator and marketing director for Babeland, also recommends shopping "a la carte" to truly customize your experience, especially if you're shopping with a partner. "I always recommend... having the person that’s going to be wearing the strap choose their harness so that it’s the one that’s the most comfortable for them, and then having the person that’s going to be on the receiving end choose the dildo, since that is where it will be going," Finn says.

Rave review: "Had so much fun with these toys! Blue is great for beginners, and then the purple is awesome to hit the prostate and G-spot."

Graduated from beginner kits? Try this set, which features a 5-inch and 6.5-inch dildo and two corresponding O-rings to lock them in place.

"It also comes with a very adjustable, soft, and comfortable harness."

Rave review: "As a first timer, I can't think of anything better. It was perfect from the small dildo to the larger one. It allows you to have smooth sex and rough sex. Very easy to use, easy to put together, and easy to clean."

Pros
  • Cost-effective
  • Adjustable
Cons
  • Weaker suction than other options

Reviewers call this one an "awesome deal," and for $26, it's hard to disagree. Give this a go if you're feeling a little non-committal about your strap-on choice at the moment.

Rave review: "The dildo itself is really soft, and the texture is nice. Everything is good quality, easy to clean, and doesn't smell. It's easy to put on and was adjustable to my figure and body type."

Pros
  • Dildo can be remote-controlled
  • Curved for G-spot stimulation
Cons
  • On the pricier side

At six inches long and 1.75 inches thick, the dildo in this kit is for girth lovers and G-spot fans alike. Plus, the fabric harness is chafe-resistant and adjustable up to 67 inches!

Rave review: "The harness is very well-built and adjustable, and the dildo itself is super comfortable and great shape. It's very fun to use with the remote control."

Pros
  • Curved for G-spot and prostate stimulation
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • On the pricier side

With a six-inch-long thick dildo, the Pegasus G-spot and P-spot harness set is similar to the Pegasus curved realistic harness. The big difference is that this dildo features a more curved tip, which allows the wearer to more directly pleasure the receiver's G-spot or prostate.

Rave review: "I love this strap-on. The feel of the dildo is so soft yet firm, and having the vibration added a whole additional level to the experience."

"This is fully adjustable for the perfect fit, and the dildo has seven curved inches that are optimal for providing G-spot pleasure," says Ashley Cobb, sex educator and sexpert for Lovehoney. The kit also comes with three interchangeable O rings that allow you to switch out the dildo for a smaller or larger appendage, based on your partner’s preferences.

Rave review: "I’ve had several adventures with this strap-on. The interchangeable rings make it very versatile, and my collection of dildos all fit. The dildo that comes with it is superb and hits the spot (or so I'm told)."

Pros
  • Strong vibration speeds

Trust, those little bunny ears can provide some big-time pleasure. They're designed to massage the receiver's nerve-dense clitoris, says Sparks. Oh, and the dildo vibrates, too. Buzzy G-spot stimulation plus clitoral love? A recipe for a blended orgasm!

Rave review: "The silicone is so soft, and the sleek, non-realistic design was a real draw for me. The harness is comfortable and firm enough to hold the strap where it needs to be, even during vigorous activity. This is the first toy I've found where I haven't ended up bored by the highest vibration setting after two weeks."

Pros
  • Great for beginners

Cons
  • Dildo is on the smaller side

Hunting for a strap-on that’s butt-friendly? This one is it. "This strap-on is perfect for beginners," says Cobb. The harness is easy to put on, and the dildo has a realistic look and feel. At just five inches, it’s the perfect size for pegging, she adds.

Rave review: "It's comfy and just the right size for a first timer. Easy to clean, and doesn't take up much room at all when storing away. Highly recommended this for anyone wanting to get spicy!"

Pros
  • Stimulates both partners
  • Intense vibrations
Cons
  • Straps can come loose

This dual harness is a little different from others. It features a vibrating plug for vaginal or anal play that’s built into the crotch of the harness, so you can easily slip it inside and keep it in place as things heat up. Meanwhile, your partner enjoys 6.5 inches of a veined dildo for intense action. Choose from three vibration speeds powered by a handy remote.

Rave review: "My partner and I truly enjoyed this toy! The vibrations are strong and hit just the right spots. The harness does seem to come loose, especially if you like to hit hard and be rough, but that can easily be remedied by a couple of knots here and there!"

Pros
  • Great size for newbies
  • Comfortable for multiple waist sizes
Cons
  • Harness may be a little confusing

"Most who buy this kit are couples who are pegging for the first time," says Deysach. And for good reason: The dildo is made of medical-grade silicone, and it’s no bigger than your pointer finger. Plus, "the harness is soft and fits a pretty wide range of waist sizes," Deysach adds.

Rave review: "The harness was a little confusing, but other than that, it's great!"

Pros
  • Sleek and sexy
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Dildo might be small for some

Strap-on harnesses tend to have a pretty…intense look. But this one comes in the form of a crotchless lacy panty set that’s all kinds of sexy. It features a five-inch curved silicone dildo to target all the spots. There’s also a reinforced O-ring that can accommodate other dildo sizes.

Rave review: "Finally found a pegging panty set that actually sits where it should. The dildo is the perfect size for my husband, we really enjoy this product... would recommend this product to anyone."

Pros
  • Cost-effective
  • Great for thrusting
Cons
  • Louder than some other options

The lovechild of a G-spot vibrator and a strap-on, this Lovehoney creation is a vibrating dildo. (Technology!) "This vibrating dildo can stimulate nerves hidden way deep underneath the skin, releasing far more endorphins than other forms of touching, making it great for orgasm," says Cobb.

Rave review: "This is comfortable to wear, can get in all positions, and the vibration is great. Don’t give up after your first go, keep trying. When you get it right, you won’t look back!"

Best Strapless Strap-On For G-Spot Stimulation

Pros
  • Sturdy and resilient
  • Includes a bullet vibrator for dual stimulation
Cons
  • Not great for those who prefer a thicker dildo

A double-sided dildo, the Fun Factory ShareVibe is designed for those who enjoy a full feeling and G-spot stimulation.

How it works: The wearer inserts the smaller arm into their vagina, then uses their pelvic floor muscles to hold it inside while thrusting in and out of their partner with the longer, more phallic end.

While this product is marketed as a harness-free strap-on, holding onto the Fun Factory ShareVibe can be tiring AF on your pelvic floor muscles, "so you may opt to use it with a harness for more stability," says Taylor Sparks, founder of Organic Loven, the largest BIPOC-owned online intimacy shop.

Rave review: "This has been the best strap on ever for me and my husband. The vibration is perfect for both of us! The feel and the anatomical correctness of the toy is perfect."

You and your partner can get equally into the action with this double-sided strap-on. It features two curved and rippled seven-inch shafts that meet in the middle for intimate action.

Rave review: "This double-ended strap on is so much fun! The dildos are just big enough to feel good to my partner, but not too big to be uncomfortable. They're somewhat bendy as well, so they really adapt to the shape of my body and his, too!"

Rave review: "It’s a great toy for couples who want to experience simultaneous pleasure, and it’s a decent size to not be overly intimidating for those who are new to anal play."

Pleasure Works Gala Confetti Dildo

Pros
  • Feels soft but firm
  • A great "happy medium" size
Cons
  • Might be too bendy for some

When it comes to finding the right dildo, some people might want a realistic, penis-like shape; others might not. If you're torn, the Gala is a great in-between option, says Finn.

"This has a realistic look to it in shape, in that it’s got veins and a pronounced head, but it’s also confetti, so it’s kind of fun if you want the realistic texture but not necessarily for it to look like a real dick," they add. If an insertable length of 6.5 inches sounds like too much, you can also opt for the 5.5-inch Gala Mini.

Rave review: "I have tried several kinds and they are too big or too small or too stiff or too wobbly. This feels perfect size and most real to me, and it bends just enough. I had almost given up on penetration toys, but this one is perfect! Super happy!"
