How to Choose a Strap-on Dildo

How to Choose a Strap-on Dildo

Strap-on dildos are a fun way to try something new in the bedroom and experience pleasure for everyone! While it might seem intimidating at first, strap-ons can be used in many ways, making them a great option for lots of needs and wants.

Despite common belief, strap-on dildos are not just for pegging! Pegging typically refers to a woman or someone with a vulva penetrating their partner, who usually has a penis. It is a great way to switch things up and penetrate your partner if you are usually the one on the receiving end! For those who enjoy anal stimulation, pegging opens a world of fun.

However, strap-ons can be used for many different reasons. They are great for penis owners who experience performance issues or have erectile dysfunction, as hollow strap-ons can help give you girth and hardness.

Strap-ons are also fun for couples who both have vulvas, as it allows you to penetrate each other and experience a different kind of stimulation. Strap-ons have been used in the queer community for many years!

The options don’t stop there! Masturbation, double penetration, blow jobs… strap-ons are very versatile and can be used in lots of different ways!

A lot of people are intrigued by the idea of pegging especially, but it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to strap-ons! Let’s take a look at how to pick the right strap-on for you, and some of our top picks at Adulttoymegastore.

New to anal play?

Safety first!

If you are new to anal play, it is important to note that pegging is not a great place to start out your anal adventures. Start by exploring the area with your fingers or smaller toys before introducing a strap-on and playing with your partner.

And remember, for any type of anal play, lubricant will be your best friend.

How can I pick the right strap-on dildo for me?

Once you know what you are using your strap-on dildo for, it’s time to get into the fun part – choosing your new strap-on! There are a few things to consider when looking for the perfect one for you.

What size and style dildo do you need?

Firstly, whether you’re looking for a strap-on for pegging or double penetration, you need to think about size and style! There is a big difference between 5 inches and 7 inches. Do you want something with textured detail or a smooth surface?

These are important things to keep in mind when looking for the perfect dildo for you.

Material is also something important to consider. Silicone is typically the best option to go for as it is body-safe, easy to clean, and smooth against the skin, although there are also several other popular sex toy materials that might be more suited to you and your needs.

Size, style and material will be very dependent on what you are using the dildo for, and what you want out of it. It really does come down to individual preference!

Check out Emma’s video on ATMS TV for more information on dildos and how to pick the perfect one for you.





What type of strap-on do you want?

Lots of strap-on sets that come with both the dildo and harness together. This is a great starting point for beginner’s or those who aren’t too sure where to start out, because it comes with everything you need to get started.

The Beginner’s Hollow Strap-on from Fetish Fantasy features a dildo that is attached to an adjustable harness. The dildo is hollow, making it suitable for a range of different uses, and comes in at 6 inches in length. Another option is the Dillio 7 Inch Suspender Harness Set, which is designed for ultimate comfort and durability. The unique suspender style harness provides extra security while you play, with soft nylon straps and straps around the waist and thighs that can be adjusted to fit a variety of body types.

The included Dillio dildo is 7 inches in length, and can also be easily removed from the silicone O-ring to make cleaning the toy easier. The Suspender Harness works well with most suction-cup Dillio and King Cock dildos, too, which means you can easily switch things up with a smaller or bigger dildo.

You can also purchase harnesses separately, which allows you to use your favourite flared-base dildo or switch up the dildos you use with it easily. This is helpful for people who plan on switching between dildo sizes regularly.

Sportsheets have some great harness options that are designed for comfort and durability. The built-in nitrile O-ring is 1.5 inches and can fit a variety of flared-base dildos.

Unity Double Penetration Strap On HarnessUnity Double Penetration Strap On Harness$39.95Shop Now

Interested in double penetration? The Unity Double Penetration Strap-on Harness will help you enjoy the ultimate double penetration experience. The dual ring design allows you to use two dildos, or a penis and a dildo, or just one dildo – whatever works for you and your partner.

Incurve Silicone GSpot Duo Dildo SetIncurve Silicone G-spot Duo Dildo Set$52.95Shop Now

When purchasing a harness and dildo separately, you need to check that they will be compatible. Unfortunately, not all harnesses will be compatible with all dildos. You can check this by looking at the size of the O-ring on the harness and considering its material – some O-rings are made from stretchy silicone, which will fit a variety of different dildos, although some are made from metal which will be less forgiving.

Next, make sure your dildos are harness compatible. Generally, a dildo with a flared base will work with a harness, as the base will keep it in place and snug inside the O-ring. A set of dildos like the Incurve Silicone G-spot Duo Dildo Set are a great option as the flared base means they are compatible with lots of different harnesses.

Choosing the harness and dildo separately can give you a lot more options when it comes to girth, size, and style. You might even have a dildo that is already harness compatible!

In short, always check the measurements to make sure your toys will be a good match.

Play it safe!

Like with any sex toys, it’s important to keep a few things in mind to ensure you are playing safely. This means using lots of lubricant to prevent any pain or discomfort (particularly when enjoying anal play), and cleaning your toy thoroughly afterwards.

Invest in a good sex toy cleaner and take the time to give your toys a good clean afterwards. This is especially important if you are playing with a partner and might be sharing your sex toys with them. Ideally, you will have a separate dildo each to ensure no bacteria is spread.

However, if your dildo is made from 100% silicone or another material like glass and can be sterilized between uses, it is okay to share it with a partner. You can even use a condom over top to keep everything even safer.
