The Best Strap-Ons: Top 10 Strap-Ons To Buy Online

Simply put, a strap-on is a dildo or vibrator used to penetrate someone no-hands. This is accomplished either with a harness or strapless strap-on (which we’ll delve deeper into soon).

Let’s dig into the best strap-ons available, and why you should think about trying one out the next time you plan to play.

Typically, but not always, a strap-on is used when one partner does not have a penis but wants to perform penetrative sex. The receiving partner can then get all sorts of pleasure out of it, whether they have a vagina or a prostate. When a partner with a vulva uses a strap-on anally on their partner with a penis, this act is often called “pegging.”

Pegging has become more and more popular in recent years as awareness of it has grown. As its prominence in pop culture increases, more people with prostates are getting turned onto the joys of anal play.

Strap-ons are also popular among couples where both partners have vaginas. By using a strap, new methods of having sex and enjoying one another become available. Look, mom, no hands!

As we mentioned, there are a few different kinds of strap-ons. No matter your needs, you can find the type that’s right for you and your partner.

When you think of a strap-on, this is likely the image that immediately comes to mind. Although it is far from the only strap-on out there, straps with harnesses are still probably the most common form.

You can buy the harness and the dildo or vibrator together, so you know that they fit, or you can get them separately. Just make sure that the items you buy will work when put together.

These harnesses can use straps to stay on the wearer, they can be more similar to underwear, and more. Some strap-ons help with gender presentation, as well as ones that are just used for sex.

Although strap-on harnesses are typically worn around the pelvis, other harnesses can go on your leg, among other places.

While a “strapless strap-on” might sound like an oxymoron, the design is very intuitive. Most traditional strap-ons function by putting a dildo or vibrator into a harness.

Strapless strap-ons take a more, shall we say, hands-on approach to staying put. Rather than putting them in something you wear, these toys stay in place while penetrating both partners.

While giving your partner pleasure is inherently enjoyable on its own, some people might want more stimulation while using a strap-on on someone else. If that’s the case for you and you enjoy penetration, a strapless strap-on could be perfect.

These strap-ons usually form a kind of U-shape. One end is longer, and the other is shorter. The shorter end is meant to be worn by the person doing the thrusting, while the longer end is what does the thrusting. Those with vaginas generally wear strapless strap-ons, but the other partner can enjoy the ride no matter their genitalia.

Opening up our list of the best strap-ons, we have the Strap U G Swirl G-Spot Silicone Dildo. We chose to feature this dildo first for a few reasons.

It’s slightly curved, and the head is perfectly made to stimulate the G-Spot. People without vaginas can enjoy this dildo as well, but they might find other toys on this list better suited to their needs.

Another thing that we love about this dildo is that it is multi-use. The flared bottom allows it to fit snugly into a harness, making it ideal for strap-on play, but the bottom is also a suction cup. As a result, this item can be used in creative ways solo or with others.

Some strap-ons look more like a penis, while others take more artistic liberties. This strap is a lovely purple shade and bridges the gap between lifelike and art.

Whether you’re planning on using this toy as a strap-on with a partner or as a dildo alone, there’s so much to love about the Strap U G Swirl G-Spot Silicone Dildo. We recommend only using water-based lubricant with this toy rather than silicone-based lube.

Those looking for a more lifelike strap-on should look no further than the Blush Lock on 7” Dynamite Dildo w/ Suction Cup Adapter. People might prefer a more photo-realistic strap for gender-affirming reasons, the sensation, or another reason altogether.

Like the last toy on our list, this dildo can also be used as either a strap-on or as a dildo. Simply stick it on the wall, the floor, or any other flat surface you’re ready to go to town on. The suction cup is also removable, giving you plenty of options when it comes time to get down and dirty.

This strap works especially great with the Dillio Platinum Body Dock SE Strap On Harness since it’s made specifically for toys with suction cup capabilities.

This strap is simple yet elegant in its design. The Strap on Me Silicone Bendable Dildo Medium comes in three colors, but its real pull is that it can be bent.

The mixture of a soft outside and rigid inner core means that it will remain in that position when you bend and adjust it. This means that it can be tailored just right to each and every body.

It was about time we included a vibrator on our list, and the Vedo Diki Rechargeable Vibrating Dildo w/ Harness is one of our favorites. Also equipped with a suction cup base, you can use this dildo anywhere, but it excels when used as a strap-on. This vibrating dildo makes the process even easier since it includes a harness.

The dildo features ten separate vibration modes, as well as six levels of intensity. That way, you can fully personalize the experience, so everyone feels as good as possible.

All of our bodies are different. Some people might prefer small vibrations, others might enjoy the top setting, and others might prefer no vibrations at all.

Figuring out what you and your partner like is all part of the fun! It also comes with a remote to help you control the settings.

At last, we have reached the first strapless strap-on on our list. The Strap U Mighty Rider 10X Vibrating Silicone Strapless Strap On has a luxurious feel for both parties, making it a real crowd-pleaser.

It also vibrates, bringing a new level of enjoyment to the penetrator and the penetrate-ee. If “penetrate-ee” wasn’t a word before, this strap-on has officially made it into one.

This toy is also waterproof, adding to the list of places to use it. There is a textured pad that provides the wearer with both external and internal stimulation while using it. It also has a remote, so you can easily change the settings.

The Strap on Me Silicone Cum Dildo has a special feature that the other toys on this list do not. Using a pump, you can simulate the experience of having cum come out of the toy's shaft.

This is great for gender-affirming play, as well as kink play. This toy comes in two colors, so you can choose what works best.

The Pegasus 7″ Strapless Strap on w/ Remote has something unique about it, and that’s how it focuses even more pleasure onto the wearer. The person wearing the strapless strap-on can also take advantage of the beads meant for anal stimulation.

It’s waterproof and has a remote control that can be used to control the vibrations. This toy offers something new for both partners.

What’s the one thing missing in all of the previous strap-ons on our list? That they don’t glow in the dark, of course! Luckily, you never have to face that dilemma again when you have the Shots Ouch 8″ Textured Curved Hollow Strap On – Glow in the Dark.

Possessors of vaginas and prostates alike will shriek in delight at this awesomely spooky toy. Although the glow in the dark might feel festive for Halloween, there’s nothing spooky about how good this toy can make you feel.

The Gender X Snuggle Up Dual Motor Strap on Vibe w/ Harness is in a class of its own due to its two motors. The first one is placed at the toy's tip, while the other lies at the base.

The size, the many vibration options, and the fact that it comes with its own flattering harness make this toy one for the ages.

Last on our list is the Body Extensions Be Daring 2 Piece Strap on Set. This toy is specially designed to work for People of all gender presentations while still providing maximum pleasure. It includes the harness and the toy, providing an all-in-one set, so you’re ready to get started.

We hope this list has helped you on your journey through the wonderful world of strap-ons.

Now, all that’s left to do is strap in.
