How To Buy A Strap-On and Dildo: Lesbian Sex Shopping Guide

If you’re looking for hot strap-on sex this holiday season, we are not surprised you have landed right here, on Autostraddle.com, where we have shared all kinds of information about strap-ons and how and where to buy them, for example this post about buying your first strap-on.

But if you’re looking for specific brand recommendations or considering giving a strap-on as a gift, congratulations, you’re in the exact correct post for that situation. There’s no day like today to slaughter two birds with one giant (cock) rockstone and give your special someone or occasional friend-with-benefits or your ex-girlfriend something sex-related. This way she thinks she’s getting a gift, but really YOU’RE getting a gift. And ideally it’ll be the gift that keeps on giving, as I believe they say in the ‘business.’

Or, perhaps you want to get yourself a little something or a big something to enjoy the winter season with a loved one.

Harness Strap-On Shopping Guide:

Generally people prefer to buy their own strap-ons. But sometimes the holidays are the only time anyone can get treated to a giant penis-shaped object and intricate strappage system which adheres said object to your vagina. You know? Ask your partner what they want if you think you can get away with it. Or replace the one you broke in May.

A good harness will be between $60 and $120 minimum. You don’t want to feel like you’re wearing something that could be purchased in a combination tanning salon/adult video store.

The basic factors you’ll be considering are materials, comfort, design, durability, size and functionality. Unlike dildos, which some lesbians prefer to trash between partners, you or your special friend might keep this harness literally until it breaks, so it’s an important investment.

Dildos Shopping Guide:

Silicone is the preferred material. There’s also Cyberskin, which is a lot like real skin and feels the bestest, but keeping it clean is a giant pain in the ass. There is upkeep and cornstarch involved but also is well worth it.
