How We Picked the Products

I picked 38 products for this article, including harnesses, dildos, complete pegging kits, and strapless strap-ons. I brought in my colleagues at My Sex Toy Guide to help me with picking new market entrants and self-testing the final list. Before I distributed the strap-ons, I defined test criteria that we could measure on a scale from 0 to 100. These included:

• Design. Our review samples must have a rounded head and curved shaft to simplify insertion and promote precise G-spot/P-spot targeting. Other essential design tweaks we focused on include dual-density shafts for users after ultra-realistic experiences and numerous harness O-rings/plug attachments for users with multiple dildos.
• Settings. Like other sex toys, we paid attention to strap-ons with multiple settings. And especially the vibrating models, the more, the better.
• Stimulations. Besides vibrations, we also considered strap-on toys with other forms of stimulation. From squirting to thrusting toys, we spread our nets far and wide to ensure everyone got something to match their sexual needs.
• Build Quality. The design might be vital, but we didn’t overlook the importance of body-safe sex toy materials to the strap-on sex experience. All the strap-ons we reviewed were made from hypoallergenic materials to avoid skin irritations and other problems.
• Safety. Like other anal sex toys, they must have a flared base to be considered for this list. You don’t want to be the guy in the ER with a massive dildo submerged in your ass. Do you?
• Comfort. Comfort is essential, whether opting for a harness-type or a strapless model. The harness and the penetrative arm must be made from a comfortable material, so the wearer and receiver enjoy the experience equally.
• Charging. For vibrating and squirting models, we prioritized those with a rechargeable battery. Unlike disposable batteries, these are more reliable and environmentally friendly. Most importantly, we looked into the charging time vs. output. There’s no need to wait the whole night for it to charge only to squeeze in 20 minutes of action. Is there?
• Special Features (remote control). Ease of use is a significant part of strap-on sex. So, I underlined the relevance of having models with a phone app (Lovense Lapis) or a remote control (Desire Luxury) to enhance partner play.

During testing, we rated each test criterion on a percentage scale from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). We then calculated the overall score using different weighted metrics depending on the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Stimulations (25%). After that come Versatility (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Size (10%).

The reviewers returned with their findings after a 30-day testing session, and I asked for help from my colleagues to analyze the findings. In a record 32 hours, we had a simplified list to work with. With additional information on sex toy reviews and forum accounts from the research team, we skimmed the number further, picking the best dildo from each category.

And from the extensive yet holistic collective effort, we believe these are this year’s best strapon dildos.

1. VixSkin Johnny: Our Overall Test Winner!

Why we love Vixskin Johnny:

If you’re in the market for the best strap-on dildo, Vixen Creations Johnny Vixskin is our highest-rated product on this list. The 8″ Johnny has realistic detailing, including a veiny shaft, a rounded head, and a pronounced coronal ridge to simulate a natural penis. Johnny also has a dual-density design with a firm inner core and soft outer skin that looks and feels like an erect penis.

Besides the upward curve that makes it easy to target the G-spot or prostate, the realistic balls really impressed the testers (circled below). They’re spongy and soft to the touch, making the experience even more thrilling.

The testers also appreciated that VixSkin Johnny has a 7″ insertable length and 5.75″ circumference. It’s not the most intimidating figure we’ve reviewed, making an excellent dildo choice for intermediaries and experienced users.

We also liked that Johnny has a harness-compatible flat base for pegging play fans. You can use multiple harnesses as long as you have a 1.5″ diameter O-ring.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, Johnny is expensive. It costs $159.99, a figure most sex toy users find steep for a non-vibrating dildo. I also thought the flat base with wrinkled balls made handling more complicated, especially for people with small hands.

The testers also pointed out the sticky surface caused by the dual-density design. It doesn’t slide as swiftly as traditional dildos; therefore, you need more lube with Vixen products to prevent chafing.

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

You can read our Johnny Vixskin review here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Circumference: 5.75″
• Length: 8
• Insertable Length: 7″

Pros:

• An ultra-realistic strap-on dildo for men and women.
• The impressive dual-density design simulates a natural penis.
• It’s made from high-quality silicone material.
• VixSkin Johnny is ideal for vaginal and anal play.
• You can use different harnesses.

Cons:

• Johnny is pricey – $159.99.

2. Lovehoney Curved: Beginner & Budget Pick!

Why we love Lovehoney Curved:

The Lovehoney Curved is our favorite strap-on dildo for beginners and people on a budget. For $24.99, the small strap-on dildo is a bargain.

Something that stood out during our review was the harness-compatible base, making it easy to explore hands-free pegging play. In addition, the base has a suction cup design, allowing you to attach the Lovehoney Curved to any flat surface for hands-free use (see our demonstration below).

On top of that, our testers reported that the Lovehoney Curve is made from body-safe silicone, with a noticeably smooth finish and tapered tip, making insertion easy. Its curved shaft also makes G-spot and P-spot stimulation more precise.

It also has a small pouch beneath the suction cup base for a bullet vibrator (circled red below). Those after a rumbly experience can thus slide their favorite bullet and enjoy the added excitement.

Lovehoney Curved has a 6″ usable length and 4″ circumference, making it perfect for beginners and intermediate users. The dildo offers an outstanding balance between ease of use and formidable challenge.

Note: You’ll need a 1.5″ diameter O-ring to use the dildo with a harness.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Unfortunately, the vibe pops out at the base, affecting the suction pressure during use. So, you have to choose one over the other. The 4″ girth is also not that impressive unless you are a complete dildo beginner.

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

You can read our review of the Lovehoney Curved dildo here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Circumference: 4″
• Insertable Length: 6″

Pros:

• The cheapest strap-on dildo.
• It’s made from soft silicone material.
• A decent suction cup base for hands-free riding.
• The pink dildo is ideal for G-spot and prostate stimulation.
• A curved, semi-realistic shaft enhances precise stimulation.

Cons:

• Adding a bullet vibrator messes with the suction.

3. Lovehoney Desire Luxury: Best Strapless Model!

Why we love Lovehoney Desire Luxury:

We recommend Lovehoney Desire if you’re an experienced sex toy user looking for a premium strapless pegging dildo. The well-made Lovehoney Desire features a contoured pony for the wearer and a penetrative shaft for the receiver. We also noted that the shaft is contoured to enhance the quality of sensations.

The testers especially loved the flexible pony (circled in blue below). We thought the designers did a great job, ensuring Desire Luxury fits different people regardless of their body shape or size. You can easily regulate the shaft’s position and angle to your preferred one.

Something else we noted during the review was the easy-to-use remote control (image below). My colleagues thought it was a welcome addition, especially for couples, because it allows your partner to regulate the rumbles from across the room, leaving you to focus on other pleasure zones, ultimately promoting explosive orgasms.

The double strap-on dildo has a powerful motor with impressive eight vibration patterns and twelve intensity levels. We thought the vibration combinations provided a broad table of possibilities to explore.

Minor issues we found during testing:

One improvement would be the possibility of controlling the vibrations independently. People like different simulation types, and we hope Lovehoney will include this function in a future upgrade.

Strapless strap-on dildos are reserved for experienced sex toy users, and newbies will need time and a great deal of Kegel training to use the Desire Luxury.

Pro Tip: Our tester Angela shared this valuable tip to better keep it inside: “After trying it, I realized there’s a little trick to getting it to stay in place. The penetrating person should close their thighs tightly so the toy doesn’t slip out. If you don’t close your legs tightly, you must do an extreme Kegel to keep it inside the whole time.”

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

You can read our review of Lovehoney Desire Luxury here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone, ABS Plastic
• Circumference: 4.25″ (shaft), 4.75″ (pony)
• Insertable Length: 5″ (shaft), 4.5″ (pony)

Pros:

• A well-made luxury strapless strap-on.
• Multiple vibration combinations – 8 vibration modes and 12 speeds.
• The contoured design enhances the wearer’s comfort while amplifying the sensations.
• A posable pony means the Desire Luxury fits many vagina shapes and sizes.
• It has an intuitive remote control.

Cons:

• Unfortunately, the remote control is battery-powered.

4. Big Shot: Best Squirting Function!

Why we love the Big Shot:

We rated Evolved Novelties’ Big Shot as the perfect choice for squirting dildo fans because of the built-in reservoir that shoots semen on demand. Unlike models with a separate syringe, it’s more practical and attractive to the eye.

On top of that, Big Shot has a realistic design with bulging veins, a rounded head, and wrinkled balls, simulating the look of a real penis. While it might be firmer than a human penis, the team thought the designers did a great job overall.

The testers also loved that the robust motor was relatively powerful with multiple vibration patterns. They thought the 10 vibration modes make it ideal for different users, with the highest setting striking a worthy punch even for the most experienced guys. You can feel the tremor heat your vaginal walls as you cycle through the patterns.

We also appreciated the easy twist cap that simplifies semen refilling (image below). With two easy-to-use buttons at the bottom to regulate the vibration modes and ejaculation function, Big Shot is very beginner-friendly.

The USB-rechargeable strap-on has a strong suction cup base that helps free your hands so you can focus on other pleasure zones, leading to thrilling solo and coupled fun. It’s also compatible with O-ring harnesses for pegging fans.

Minor issues we found during testing:

The main flaw is the stiff shaft, which may be an issue for people with a sensitive clitoris. We also wished it came with a cleaning manual since it’s not very straightforward how you are supposed to clean it.

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

You can read our review of the Big Shot dildo here.

Features:

• Material: Silicone
• Width: 1.625″
• Insertable Length: 6″

Pros:

• Impressive 10 vibration speeds and functions.
• An ultra-realistic design, complete with a set of squishy balls.
• It has a harness-compatible suction cup base.
• Intuitive 2-button control interface.
• Big Shot is USB-rechargeable.

Cons:

• Unfortunately, the Big Shot is a firm dildo – people with sensitive G-spots will not like it.

5. King Cock Ultra Realistic: Best For Size!

Why we love King Cock Ultra Realistic:

King Cock Ultra Realistic has a flexible, realistic shaft, an impressive 9″ length, and a harness-compatible base, all of which were rated highly by the test team. Although the test reports highlighted the bad PVC smell, the reviewers praised its impressive size. “It’s a giant for you to domesticate,” noted one tester.

In addition, King Cock has a strong suction cup base for hands-free stroking action. The flexible base attaches to hard, flat surfaces like shower walls and floors, freeing your hands and allowing you to explore other pleasure zones during play.

We also appreciated the realistic detailing, including the lifelike shaft, rounded head, and pronounced coronal ridge (image above). The natural design and enormous size make the King Cock Ultra ideal for depth and girth play.

Minor issues we found during testing:

Our main concern with King Cock was the PVC material. Like other PVC models, the King Cock has a characteristic plasticky smell that goes away with a few washes.

If you want to see what King Cock Ultra Realistic looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can find more thick dildos in this article. And you can read our full review of King Cock Ultra Realistic Girthy here.

Features:

• Material: PVC

Pros:

• Huge pegging dildo – 9″ long.
• Realistic detailing – veined shaft, rounded head, and soft balls.
• A slight curve promotes precise stimulation.
• An ideal choice for experienced users.
• It has a harness-compatible suction cup base.

Cons:

• PVC has an unpleasant plastic smell.

6. Blush Avant D16: Best Non-Phallic Strap-On Dildo!

Why We Love the Avant D16:

We tested more than a dozen strap-on friendly dildos, and Avant D16 Purple Haze came out on top for anyone who wants a non-phallic design. The swirl of lavender, blue, and plum stands out right away, but it’s the way it performs that made it our pick.

During harness sessions, the gently curved shaft reached the right spots for both vaginal and anal play while staying slim enough for long use. The defined head adds a light pop of pressure without feeling sharp.

Our testers were impressed with the platinum-cured silicone. It’s soft, flexible, and easy to guide, while the smooth surface glides well with water-based lube. After repeated cleaning and travel, the D16 kept its shape and color with no signs of wear.

The suction base (image above) worked well on smooth tile and glass, making hands-free play simple. Sandra Larson summed it up after a round of harness testing: “It’s the kind of toy you can grab without a long warm-up and still get a satisfying ride.” Beginners liked the forgiving size, and experienced testers still found plenty of stimulation to keep things interesting.

Minor Issues We Found During Testing:

The soft shaft that makes it comfortable also limits firm pressure. If you like deep G-spot or prostate stimulation, it can feel a bit too gentle. The suction cup is strong on glass or polished tile but loses grip on textured walls or grout.

If you want to see what Blush Avant D16 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:

You can read our complete review of the Avant D16 Purple Haze here.

Features:

• 7 in. total length with 5 in. insertable shaft
• Purio platinum-cured silicone with Ultrasilk finish
• Flared suction base for harness or hands-free play
• Slim, gently curved design

Pros:

• Soft silicone that stays comfortable and cleans easily
• Gentle curve and defined head for targeted stimulation
• Works well solo, in a harness, or with suction on smooth surfaces
• Lightweight and easy to pack for travel

Cons:

• Too flexible for those who want strong, deep pressure
• Suction cup loses grip on textured surfaces
• No formal manufacturer warranty

7. Blush Temptasia Twist Kit: Best Strap-On Dildo Set!

Why We Love the Temptasia Twist Kit:

We tested a long list of strap-on sets and scored each on build quality, comfort, and ease of use. The Temptasia Twist Kit came out on top for overall beginner friendliness and steady performance. It includes three soft, spiraled dildos that step up in size, making it easy to progress from a gentle warm-up to a fuller experience. The design is simple and clean with no distracting textures, which makes it a good pick for anyone starting with pegging or anal play.

During our harness testing, the Twist Kit earned above-average marks for comfort. The gentle curve on each piece gave consistent, targeted pressure while the spiral surface added just enough sensation to keep things interesting without overpowering. Our testers appreciated how natural the size progression felt. The small is perfect for first-timers, the medium adds a satisfying stretch, and the large finishes with a fuller feel that still stays approachable.

Material quality was another high scorer. The Puria silicone is smooth, flexible, and body safe. After many wash cycles and plenty of lube, each dildo kept its shape and color with no issues. Rachel Sommer summed it up: “This kit received the highest rating for comfort and control. Each piece feels inviting and dependable from start to finish.”

The heart-shaped bases (image above) worked well in different harnesses and held steady during longer sessions. The suction cups performed best on smooth tile or glass, letting us test hands-free use with no fuss. For couples or solo users who want a high-rated kit that makes size progression easy, this set proved itself in every major category.

Minor Issues We Found During Testing:

The suction cups are fine for light play, but lose grip if you thrust hard or attach to textured surfaces. A storage pouch would have been helpful for keeping the three dildos together, and a few testers wished the largest piece was slightly firmer for stronger pressure.

If you want to see what the Temptasia Twist Kit looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below (It’s the fourth product in the YouTube video):

You can read our full Temptasia Twist Kit review here.

Features:

• Three dildos: 4, 5, and 6 inches insertable
• Puria platinum-cured silicone with Ultrasilk finish
• Subtle spiral texture with a gentle curve
• Heart-shaped suction bases, harness compatible

Pros:

• Highest-rated size progression for beginners and pegging practice
• Soft, body-safe silicone that earned top marks for durability
• Works well in most harnesses and stays steady during play
• Spiral texture adds gentle stimulation without overwhelming intensity

Cons:

• Suction cups lose grip during heavy wall-mounted use
• No storage pouch included
• The largest dildo could use slightly more firmness for deep pressure

8. Accommodator Silicone Dong: Best Chin Strap-On!

Why We Like the Accommodator Silicone Dong:

We tested a small group of chin strap-ons to see if any were worth keeping in a toy drawer. The Accommodator came out with the highest score, but only because the competition was thin. It is a five-inch silicone dildo that straps under the chin with two elastic bands. The idea is simple: combine oral stimulation with light penetration. It actually works if you keep expectations low.

Fitting it takes a few tries. The straps stretch around the head and neck and need adjusting to find the right angle. A higher position gives the tongue more freedom. A lower fit provides a slightly deeper angle but limits oral movement. Our team found the sweet spot eventually, though it is not something you just throw on and use.

In use, the silicone shaft is soft and flexible. It bends if the receiver pushes back too hard, which keeps it gentle but means it is only good for slow, steady grinding. Fast thrusts make the straps shift or loosen. Our lead product tester, Sandra Larson, wrote this statement in her test report: “It worked well once we slowed everything down, but anything beyond a relaxed rhythm and the bands started to slide.”

Build quality is basic. The silicone had a strong factory smell that took two washes to fade. As you can see in the image below, the straps are thin and will likely stretch out with regular use. There is no storage pouch or instructions. Cleaning is straightforward with warm water and mild soap. We did not find any rough edges or seams, so at least it is safe and easy to wash.

Minor Issues We Found During Testing:

The straps slip during active play and can pull hair. Neck strain starts after about ten minutes. The shaft is too flexible for firm pressure. Anyone wanting deep penetration or strong thrusting will be disappointed.

If you want to see what the Accommodator looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below (It’s the third product in the YouTube video):

You can read our full review of the Accommodator Silicone Dong here.

Features:

• Chin-mounted, hands-free design
• Five-inch silicone shaft, 1.25-inch width
• Two adjustable elastic straps
• Lightweight and fully washable

Pros:

• A good option for domination play
• Soft silicone is comfortable for the receiver
• Simple to clean and store

Cons:

• Straps loosen or stretch quickly
• Noticeable silicone smell out of the box
• Limited to slow, shallow motion
• No storage pouch or instructions included

Other Good Alternatives

Spareparts Joque is the best strap-on harness that we found. What we like most is its versatility, thanks to the stretchable O-ring that accommodates all 1.25 – 2″ diameter dildos. Besides the impressive compatibility, it also has two functional pouches, from which you can add bullet vibes for extra stimulation. While the vibrations aren’t as assertive, both partners can feel the rumbles around the crotch.

Lifelike Lover Classic is the highest-rated vibrating pegging dildo on this list. It features a realistic design with a veined shaft, a penis-like head, and squeezable balls. Besides the textured details, we loved the powerful motor, with 7 patterns and 3 vibration speeds on show. It even has a remote control for thrilling couples or solo play. The versatile toy also has a suction cup base that offers hands-free pleasure. The harness-compatible bottom also means you can pair it with any harness as long as it has a 1.5″ diameter O-ring for intense pegging play.

Lovehoney Perfect Partner is the most effective hollow pegging dildo on this list. The 6″ hollow dildo adds a chunk of ‘meat’ over your penis during sex, leading to more intense sensations, and may help with ED and PE issues. The soft and flexible PVC dildo has a realistic texture with pumped veins on the shaft, a natural penis head, and a mild coronal ridge. It also has a slight upward curve, making it a good option for G-spot and prostate stimulation.

But Why Should I Buy One?

One main reason to buy a strap-on dildo is to enjoy the thrill of hands-free penetrative sex. The harness and dildo combo frees your hands, so you can focus on other pleasure zones, leading to a more thrilling experience and intense orgasms.

They allow kinky heterosexual couples to explore power play, with the woman assuming the dominant role while the man submits. And with numerous models available, anal pegging play fans can make the most of these unique dildos, including exploring prostate stimulation.

Lesbian couples can also use strap-on dildos to explore the pleasures of realistic penis-into-vagina penetrative sex. It allows the wearer to take the driver’s seat while the receiver enjoys intercourse. With the introduced dynamic in the relationship, lesbian couples can use these strap-on toys to spice things up in the bedroom.

How To Use a Strap-On Dildo?

I recommend you try wearing the harness in the house with or without the dildo to get used to the experience. During this time, you can use the dildo to figure out the most comfortable positions and dildo placement on your crotch as you build up your confidence [2].

Pro Tip: Strapless strap-ons require much time and Kegel exercises to master. So, practice and give yourself time.

Once ready, pour a water-based lube on the dildo and your partner’s orifice to simplify insertion and make the experience more natural. Also, reapply the lube regularly, especially if you’re pegging your partner, because, unlike the vagina, the ass doesn’t self-lubricate.

Lastly, try different penetration angles and positions. Variety is the spice of life, and juggling makes the experience more thrilling.

You can read more on how to do pegging safely in this guide. We also have a guide on how to use a strap-on dildo.

How To Clean a Strap-On Dildo?

Once you’re done using the strap-on:

• Use a sex toy cleaner, antibacterial soap, and warm water to wash the dildo.
• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to clean the harness.
• Air dry or use a lint-free cloth to dry the dildo after cleaning.
• You can sterilize silicone dildos with hot water.
• Never submerge motorized vibrators and leather straps in water – wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

Here’s a detailed guide on how to clean a strap-on, depending on the material.

Happy vibing!
