3 Best Double-Sided Strap-Ons [Video Demonstration]

Strap-ons might be thrilling, but nothing beats the versatility of double-ended models. These incredibly dynamic sex toys provide a new dimension of pleasure to solo-play users and couples. Whether you’re seeking the thrill of double penetration or the shared pleasure of pegging and vagina-to-vagina penetration for lesbian couples, these dual-stimulation gadgets are perfect!

After testing double-sided strap-ons professionally since 2016, we firmly believe Desire Luxury is this year’s highest-rated model. The impressive double-head design is complemented by the flexible neck, making it easier to adjust and use than the other models we tested. We also liked that, unlike the strapped models, the strapless design keeps lovers’ bodies closer, making the experience more intimate. With 12 intensity settings, 8 vibration patterns, and a wireless remote control, we highly recommend Desire Luxury to all our readers. By a mile.

How We Picked The Product

Once the team agreed on the double-sided strap-on dildos to review, I defined the process to guide our selection process. I also emphasized comparing each other’s reports and the relevance of looking into other users’ reviews and comments. Lastly, we delved into customer decision-making factors we could measure using well-defined quantitative metrics that help initiate the purchase decision. These included the following:

• Build Quality. Like we’ve done throughout the years, we only reviewed products made from non-porous and hypoallergenic materials. We prioritized silicone-made models because of their impressive features and excellent value for money.
• Design. The shape was another essential consideration when picking our review samples. Some of the essentials we looked into included a tapered tip to simplify insertion, a bulbous body to stimulate both partners, and a flexible neck to enhance the wearer’s and receiving partner’s comfort.
• Size. The ideal length and girth of a double-sided dildo depend on experience and desired sensations. For instance, depth play fans will be more interested in the length than the circumference. Likewise, girth play fans will seek a thick shaft over a long one. Remember, the average erect penis is 5.1″ – 5.5″ long and 4.59″ wide. These dimensions will help you pick the size that’s for you.
• Firmness. While some people prefer firm dildos, others love their sex toys squishy. We ensured we included different material densities in the article to make it easy to pick your favorite. Whether you’re a beginner with a sensitive vagina or an experienced folk looking for the most intense of sensations, we have something for everyone.
• Comfort. Unfortunately, strapless strap-ons aren’t for the absolute beginners. These dynamic dildos might be alluring to the eyes, but using one takes time and practice to perfect. So, we prioritized models with ultra-soft materials and flexible joints to promote the wearer’s and receiving partner’s comfort.
• Standout Features. The reviewers prioritized double-sided strap-ons with unique features like wireless remote control and vibration capabilities for amplified sensations. Other bells and whistles included independent motor control and dual internal and external stimulation.
• Settings. As always, we prioritized models with the most vibration settings. Besides offering more fun motions to explore, more patterns make it easy to customize the experience for optimum simulation whether a beginner or experienced customer.
• Noise. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to detach the powerful vibrations and rattling sound in strap-on dildos. Of course, different models vary in sound output, with power and motor type usually dictating how loud or discreet it is. If you live in a shared space or are trying to keep your new sex toy a secret, we recommend going for whisper-quiet motors. If not, use music, shower water, or a heavy comforter to mask the sound.
• Price. Ultimately, your budget must be in harmony with the sex toy pricing. Factors like high-quality materials, waterproofness, and wireless remote control might come at a cost, making it essential to consider your budget and desired features when shopping for a double-sided strap-on.

During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Build Quality (25%) and Design (25%). After that comes Size (10%), Firmness (10%), Comfort (10%), Standout Features (5%), Settings (5%), Noise (5%), and Price (5%).

Once the team returned with their findings, we analyzed all data, using columns and pie charts to summarize each review in the various categories (app-controlled, budget, most realistic, etc). We looked into other users’ reviews and comments from vendor sites and sex toy forums. Eventually, we identified the top picks, and we believe this list presents the best double-sided strap-ons.

1. Desire Luxury: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love Desire Luxury Strapless:

We loved how the designers made a simplistic yet functional design for sex toy users seeking to explore hands-free fun. Everything from the fascinating curves to the flexible neck and bulbous shape makes Desire Luxury the best double-sided strap-on. Something that stood out during the testing exercise was the design language. Desire Luxury’s bulbous shape enhances retention and ensures the wearable pony remains in place regardless of the thrusting intensity, much better than the other models we tested. In addition, the well-thought-out curves on the insertable shaft make for a unique feeling of fullness.

Notably, the designers ensured both tips were tapered to simplify insertion. I’ve used numerous sex toys, and the double-sided dildo was up there with the easiest to use, a massive compliment for a strapless strapon. And with the angled design, striking the G-spot was cake. Desire Luxury’s user-friendly design extends to the flexible neck, as seen in the image below. I was elated after finding out it had a practical joint between the shafts. The knobby section made it easy to regulate the penetration angle to get deeper penetration. In addition, it helped bring Jessica closer to me during sex, making vagina-to-vagina more intimate. Two thumbs up from me!

Besides the impressive design, we thought the dildo’s dimensions were on point. “The 5″ long penetrative shaft measures up to the average penis, making Desire Luxury ideal for most people, including beginners”, our tester Sandra Larson wrote in the test report. “I also loved that the wearable pony was 4″ long. The length strikes an excellent balance between comfort and internal stimulation, something the competition didn’t offer. This way, the pony doesn’t just act as an attachment point but also stimulates the wearer”, Sandra added.

Note: Using the Desire Luxury takes time and practice. Kegel exercises help train and strengthen pelvic floor muscles so you can enjoy better and easier control. Still, I recommend gravity-friendly sex positions like spooning and reverse cowgirl. In addition, using Desire Luxury with cross legs proved a helpful hack, helping retain the wearable pony better.

Another thing that stood out was the motor. The powerhouse churns out eight vibration patterns and twelve intensities, providing an excellent range of pleasure modes. I especially loved how well-measured the intensity and consistency were. You can feel the gradual change in power as you cycle from one pattern to the other, something that I was missing in some of the other models.

Lastly, Desire Luxury came with a handy wireless remote control (image above). The tiny controller is coated with silky silicone, adding to the grip and making it easy to hold onto even with lubed-up hands. I loved how straightforward the 3-button interface was to use. With the well-raised buttons, reaching down was bliss even when multitasking.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the wearable pony and the external shaft vibrate simultaneously without a way to regulate them independently. If one partner finds a particular vibration pattern uncomfortable or too intense, you must change the setting for both arms, which can be a bummer.

In addition, Desire Luxury is reserved for the most experienced sex toy users. It takes a long time and dedicated Kegel training to be good at holding onto the pony throughout the most intense thrusting action.

2. Lovense Lapis: Best App-Controlled!

Why we love Lovense Lapis:

Lovense Lapis is the best app-controlled double-sided strap-on dildo we reviewed. The glowing pink sex toy is compatible with the highest-rated sex toy mobile application, the Lovense Remote app, which came out on top among the apps we tested. Everything from the user-friendly interface to the endless customization and simplified long-distance control, the mobile app got the highest score! Connecting the sex toy and the application was bliss and only took a minute or so. In addition, the response was in real-time, eliminating the annoying delays that can make the experience mind-numbing.

Something else that stood out from the other app-controlled models was the impressive bells and whistles. For example, the Lovense Remote lets you sync the vibrations with your favorite playlist for a hands-free blend of rhythm and blues. You can also activate the sound-responsive rumbles so the vibrations intensify as your partner moans louder. Exciting. Right? Another exciting feature was the multiple motors with independent control.

Lovense has always gone above and beyond with their sex toys, and Lapis was no exception. “One motor is placed near the top, while another sits inside the pony. The last one is entrenched at the joint, where the dildo rests on the wearer’s clitoris”, our tester Tim Larson noted.

Unlike the single-motor strap-ons in the article, the vibrations were more intense and concentrated, making the app-controlled art piece perfect for people seeking more novel sensations. In addition, independent motor control made it easier to customize the finest details, making the experience more thrilling.

Lastly, Lapis is made from silky silicone material, giving it a soft finish that’s music to my ears. It felt incredibly soft against the vagina, with unique patterns of ribs on the shaft adding much-needed extra stimulation.

Note: The smooth finish means the ribs aren’t as extreme, so people with a sensitive vagina will still enjoy the added sensations without discomfort.

Lovense Lapis’ sleek tip inserts smoothly on both ends. In addition, both arms have a dedicated motor, making the vibrations intense. With a flexible neck, adjusting the angle to fit your body size and shape is straightforward.

Minor issues we found during testing:

My most significant concern was the pricing. Lovense Lapis costs $119 (on offer), a price most sex toy users will find steep. If you’re on a budget and want to experience shared pleasure, consider Lovehoney’s Posable instead.

Unfortunately, Lapis is over-reliant on the mobile app. Without it, there’s little to explore with the dildo beyond the pre-programmed settings. For this reason, you must use the sex toy with the Lovense Remote app to get value for your money. Buy a more basic model on this list if this is an issue for you.

If you want to see what Lovense Lapis looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Insertable Length: 5.43″ & 3.4″ (pony)
• Diameter: 1.61″ & 1.52″ (pony)

Pros:

• The dildo is compatible with the Lovense Remote app.
• High-quality silicone material.
• Three independently controlled motors.
• Music sync and sound-activated vibrations.
• The flexible neck enhances the user experience.
• 100% waterproof sex toy.

Cons:

• It’s pricey – $119 (offer price).
• Lapis is over-reliant on the mobile app.

3. Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On: Our Budget Pick!

Why we love Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On:

Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On costs only $48.50, a massive bargain for such a well-designed strapless strap-on. I’ve used dozens of double-sided sex toys, and this one from the beloved Adam & Eve brand offers excellent value for money. As you can imagine, there are loads of cheaper models, but none come close to the quality for the price of this device.

Whether you’re a beginner and unsure of dual stimulation dildos or a sex toy collector looking to add a quality yet affordable piece, Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On’s price makes it perfect for the task. The well-made silicone double dildo’s smooth finish and flexible shape mean even people with the most sensitive vaginas will enjoy the experience.

The bendable shaft makes it easy to manipulate the toy to achieve G-spot sensations. In addition, the tapered heads were easy enough to insert for the wearer and receiving partner, but not as easy as the more expensive models. Something else that stood out was the impressive 5″ insertable length and 1.5″ width. The designers sized the dildo perfectly for different users. While the more experienced folks might find it a little underwhelming, beginners and intermediate sex toy users will enjoy using this beauty.

The motor was also good value for the price. I was surprised at the range of 9 vibration speeds controlled by a single button (image below). Again, experienced folks might find the vibrations less intense, but average dildo users will enjoy the variety and change in intensity and consistency through the different rumbly patterns.

Some folks will also appreciate the non-realistic design. Unlike the cliché smoothly finished builds, the rippled look added an extra layer of stimulation and made the vibrations more impactful. With a flexible neck, you can easily adjust both ends so the dildo can lean in at the right angle for maximum comfort and pleasure.

The affordable pricing shouldn’t be confused with frailty. It’s a solid double-sided dildo with a host of standout features, like waterproofness, so that you can use it in the shower or bath.

Minor issues we found during testing:

As with any strapless strap-on, sometimes keeping it in place takes a lot of effort and muscle, so it won’t work for everyone. But aside from that, my only qualms were the short battery life and how easy it is to turn off accidentally.

If you want to see what the Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our full review of Eve’s Vibrating Strapless Strap-On here.

Other Good Alternatives

Happy Rabbit is our favorite model with rabbit ears. The luxury strapless strap-on has a pair of classic rabbit ears to stimulate the wearer’s clitoris during thrusting. The flickering ears rest on the clitoral hood, churning out three vibration speeds for intense external stimulation. The contoured pony plants itself on the G-spot for precise internal stimulation. With a curved shaft and up to 12 vibration settings, the receiving partner enjoys as much bliss as the wearer.

Lovehoney Double Duty is the most beginner-friendly model we found. The double-duty vibrating dildo is perfect for pegging play. Most importantly, the elasticated waistband is adjustable, making it easy to customize the fit. Unlike the strapless strap-ons, the Lovehoney Double Duty gives beginners the confidence to dive into the wild yet rewarding experience with sturdy and cozy straps for extra security and stability. In addition, the dildo’s wired controller allows both users to cycle through the 3 speeds and 7 patterns without halting the experience.

Evoke Ergo Fit inflatable double-sided strap-on is incredibly versatile. The inflatable design makes it easy to create the perfect fit for your body. Unlike other models, you won’t have to worry about the dimensions being too small or too big. The silicone strapless surface felt unique and cozy even when worn for extended sessions. I also loved the pad with ridges because it provided an area to grind against. And with the wireless remote, regulating the vibration patterns was straightforward.

Vixskin Peacemaker is the biggest model on this list. The 6.5″ length might not be anything out of the ordinary, but the 1.9″ diameter makes the difference. I enjoy girth play, and the Peacemaker was perfect. In addition, the insertable pony has a 1.5″ diameter and a 5.25″ usable length so that both partners can enjoy the extra inches.

Fun Factory ShareVibe was the most effective for G-Spot stimulations. The short shaft is well-curved to hug the body and promote precise G-spot stimulation. I loved the smooth and rounded design as it simplified penetration and made G-spot stimulation more intense. The strapless strap-on has a rechargeable bullet vibrator with five modes and is entirely waterproof for aquatic play.

Fetish Fantasy Double Delight Vibration is perfect for people seeking independent vibrations. Unlike your ordinary sex toy, the double dildo strap-on has two separate wired controllers for the ultimate independent control. The elasticated jack-style harness complements the individual wired controllers, making the Fetish Fantasy beginner-friendly.

What Is A Double-Sided Strap On?

A double-sided strap-on is a couple’s sex toy built around the philosophy of promoting stimulation for both partners. Most models on the market come with a protruding shaft and an adjustable pony that goes inside the wearer’s vagina. Some brands also have models with two identical dildos on either end with a fitted strap to hold them in place.

 

---

But Why Should I Use One?

Double-sided strap-ons are incredibly versatile because they promote shared pleasure. The wearer and receiving partner enjoy internal sensations with a single sex toy. You also won’t need the cumbersome straps to achieve dual stimulation. Another reason is to enjoy hands-free pleasure. Of course, these sex toys are reserved for the most experienced folks, but the strapless design means your hands and body are free to explore your wildest fantasies. I especially love how accessible the hands are to focus on other erogenous zones, making the sex more intense.

Lastly, the double-ended models are some of the most versatile sex toys ever made. Whether you’re a lesbian couple looking to explore vagina-to-vagina penetration or a straight couple seeking to switch roles and enjoy pegging play, they can do it all. Some models also have rabbit ears to ensure both partners experience clitoral bliss.

Note: Besides ensuring there’s less ‘equipment’ to wear and clean, strapless strap-ons alleviate the discomfort from harnesses.

How To Use A Double-Sided Strap-On?

Are you using a double-sided strap-on for the first time? The most crucial step is to use a lot of lube. I usually recommend silicone-based lube for anal sex, but you can’t use silicone lube with a silicone toy. Water-based is safe for all materials.

We also have two valuable articles covering pegging positions and lesbian sex positions.

We have many more strap-ons and pegging tips in our guide on how to use a strapless strapon.
