Dildo strap on: strapon for pegging and double penetration

What are strap-ons?

The strap-on is a wearable dildo that is used with a harness, allowing anyone to penetrate their partner without the need for a penis. It is one of the most versatile sex toys available: it works for any type of couple, for those practicing pegging with a strap-on, and for anyone wanting to explore new role dynamics without gender or orientation limits. The strap-on dildo attaches to the rings of the harness, which can be adjusted in seconds to fit any body type.

Unlike other sex toys, the wearable penis does not belong to a single type of couple or practice: it is a tool for exploration that adapts to the user, not the other way around. The choice of model depends on the intended use, whether vaginal penetration, anal, pegging, or double penetration, and the experience level of both partners.

Why buy a strap-on?

The strap-on is one of the few sex toys that truly works for anyone: any type of couple, anyone wanting to experiment with pegging, and anyone looking to explore new dynamics. There are no physical limitations, the harness adapts, the dildo is chosen based on both partners' preferences, and the play can begin without prior experience. It is also the most comprehensive solution for those wanting double penetration with a strap-on without purchasing separate equipment.

From the couple's perspective, the strap-on introduces a variable that many find surprisingly enriching: the inversion or redistribution of the penetrating role opens up new dynamics, stimulates communication, and makes play more varied. You can find it in our selection of couple's games, along with other accessories designed for exploring together. The double strap-on in particular is among the most requested models: it stimulates both partners simultaneously, multiplying shared sensations.

Types of strap-ons

Strap-ons are divided into four main categories, each designed for a different experience. The choice depends on the intended use, the level of experience, and the preferences of both the wearer and the receiver.

Strap-on with belt and harness

The strap-on with belt is the classic and most common model: an adjustable strap-on belt, called a harness, holds the dildo in a stable position during use. Most strap-ons with harness are compatible with interchangeable standard-sized dildos, allowing for variation in shape and size based on preferences without changing the harness. The strap-on belt made of fabric is lightweight, breathable, and easy to wash; the synthetic leather version is stiffer, provides more stability, and is preferred for more intense play.

Vibrating strap-on

The vibrating strap-on adds a motor, or two, that stimulates both partners during use. Among the available models, the Ride Hard is one of the most appreciated for its combination of stability and powerful vibrations. Models with double vibrating strap-ons have independent motors, one for the wearer and one for the receiver, adjustable separately to customize intensity. It is the ideal choice for those wanting to multiply sensations without sacrificing the practicality and stability of the harness. The added vibrations make every movement more engaging for both.

Anal strap-on

The anal strap-on has a reduced diameter and a curvature designed for anal stimulation, making it the most suitable model for pegging and strap-on for anal use in general. The compact model, known as the small strap-on, is the ideal starting point for those approaching it for the first time: it allows for gradual familiarization with the practice without forcing. The slightly pronounced curvature facilitates prostate stimulation in men, making it appreciated across the board.

Double strap-on dildo

The strap-on for double penetration has two dildos: one longer for penetrating the partner and one shorter that stimulates internally for the wearer. It is the model chosen by those wanting true double penetration with a strap-on in a single accessory, without additional components. The flexibility of silicone allows both ends to adapt to movements naturally, making the experience smoother and more comfortable compared to setups with separate accessories.

How to use a strap-on?

Using a strap-on is divided into three phases: wearing and adjusting the harness, managing the rhythm during use, and cleaning afterward.

Preparation and first approach

The strap-on for pegging is used starting with the harness: it should be worn like a pair of underwear, adjusting the straps until the dildo is stable, centered, and in the right position. Positioning takes a few minutes the first time, then the process becomes automatic. The choice of dildo should be made based on the experience level of the receiving partner; a compact model is the safest choice to start, with plenty of anal lubricant if the use is anal, water-based if the dildo is silicone.

During use

For those starting to peg, the most comfortable positions are missionary and spooning: they allow for easy control of depth and rhythm without excessive effort. A steady and gradual rhythm, always communicating with the partner about how they feel: comfort is the foundation for a positive experience. The ideal dildo for pegging for beginners is a silicone model with a slight curvature: it facilitates prostate stimulation and moves naturally with the body.

Hygiene and maintenance

After each use, the dildo should be washed with warm water and mild soap, or with a specific toy cleaner for sex toys. Pure silicone dildos without motors can be sterilized in boiling water for deeper cleaning. The fabric harness can be machine washed at low temperature in a delicate laundry bag; the synthetic leather one can be cleaned with a damp cloth and left to air dry. The dildo should be stored separately from the harness in a cotton bag to prevent the silicone from deteriorating over time when in contact with other materials.

Strap-on and pegging

Pegging is the practice in which the wearer of the strap-on penetrates the partner anally, increasingly popular among heterosexual and queer couples, appreciated for both the intense physical sensations and the role-reversal dynamic it introduces. The prostate stimulation that pegging produces is often described as one of the most intense experiences for men, and many couples who try it integrate it into their sexual lives. No specific background is necessary: curiosity, communication, and gradualness are all that is needed.

Choosing the ideal dildo for pegging is the first step: a base compatible with the harness, body-safe silicone, and an appropriate size for the experience level of the receiving partner. For those wanting to delve deeper, dildos for pegging with more pronounced prostate curvature offer decidedly more intense sensations. The strap-on for double penetration is the choice for those wanting to push further, combining anal stimulation with vaginal stimulation in a single shared experience between both partners.
