Types of Strap Ons

Before we dig into any details, let’s first define a DIY strap-on harness and the different types.

This is a customized harness tied around the waist and thighs to support a dildo during sex. DIY strap-on harnesses make sex more enjoyable, especially for lesbians, and help in pegging male partners as well. You may choose between many different types of strap-on harnesses, like three-strap, two-strap, corset, rope, and many more. If you’d like to make your own homemade version though, you basically have only two options as explained below. 

  • The Rope-Based DIY Strap-on Harness works exactly like a jockstrap, the difference being that it can accommodate a sex toy.
  • Underwear-Based DIY Strap-on Harness comes in the form of underwear that allows for attaching a sex toy, such as a dildo. 

Although DIY strap-ons may have some advantages over the standard strap-on harnesses, they both serve the same purpose; to improve your sex life.

Generally speaking, DIY strap-on harnesses are usually adjustable to any size and can use any dildo. You may also choose strapless dildos to save you some money. Unlike the ready-made versions, DIY strap-on harnesses do not require you to test a couple of O-rings to fit your dildo. You can make a strap-on harness using the same dildo you use every day without worrying about finding a proper O-ring for the one you already have. 

Benefits Of A DIY Strap-On Harness

Easy To Make

You can easily make these sex toys within a short period, even minutes before having sex with your partner. All you need is the right materials and a little bit of creativity. 

Readily Available

Homemade strap-ons usually comprise materials that are easy to find and assemble. Scarves, for example, could be used to make this kind of harness, except you may need more scarves depending on the size of your waist. 

Affordable

DIY is all about utilizing readily available materials at home. Materials such as ropes, pair of scissors, and needles don’t cost a lot of money and are easily available in almost all households. The availability of resources makes it easy for you to create your DIY strap-on harness cheaply and at your own convenience.

Adjustable

DIY strap-on harnesses give you the freedom to change the waist and thigh measurements according to your size without spending extra money. It’s essential to include an allowance on the rope for strap-on harnesses to use when needed.

You may use the excess rope to have more fun by exploring new sexual adventures, such as restraining your partner. It should go without saying but practice this with safety. Tightening the self-made strap-on harness too hard might bruise your butt cheeks. The only tight thing you want at this point is your partner’s honey pot!

No Restrictions

DIY strap-on harnesses allow you to use any dildo regardless of the size. Fitting in a dildo into a DIY strap-on harness is relatively easy because you do not need to keep testing different O-rings on it.

You should tighten up the dildo on the customized strap-on harness to prevent it from sliding around due to the back and forth movements during sex. This firmness makes it even easier for you to penetrate your partner with different styles, such as the missionary, doggy, or wheelbarrow.

No Need For O-rings

O-rings might not be helpful in rope-based strap-on harnesses. Besides, replacing O-rings can be difficult, especially when you are trying to find a ring that fits your dildo perfectly. When you make your own strap-on harness, losing your O-ring shouldn’t be much of a concern.

However, it’s worth noting that an underwear Do-It-Yourself strap-on harness might still need an O-ring. With this type of sex toy, you need the ring to hold the dildo firmly without falling off. The O-ring gives the dildo an excellent grip to prevent it from sliding during sex and maximize your pleasure without any mishaps.

How To Make A Strapon Sex Toy

Be sure to use the correct type of fabric when making your strap-on harness. For instance, a DIY strap-on harness made from underwear should be from a strong material to hold the dildo in place even during intense sexual activity.

Tight under-wears are great for making strap-on harnesses because of their firmness. When using an underwear DIY strap-on harness, you need to remove the tight underwear right after orgasm to give your sexual organs some breathing space.

Rope-Based Strap On

A rope DIY strap-on harness is typically made from a sisal rope. To make this type of harness, you need a rope, a pair of scissors, and a dildo. When making a DIY harness, you should consider the amount of rope you need.

To do this, you will need to measure the wearer’s hip size. Measuring the widest part of the hip will help you find out the correct amount of rope to make the DIY strap-on harness.

If you buy extra rope, you could get creative in your sexual adventures. For instance, you may tie up your partner’s hands or ankles when pegging to spice up the moment for a better banging experience. This depends on how far you and your partner are willing to go off course.

The one advantage the rope-based DIY strap-on harness has over the underwear version is its flexibility.

Directions

  1. Find the center of the rope.
  2. Bend the rope at the center.
  3. Make a  finger duck using your thumb and pointing finger.
  4. Through the center point of the bent-over rope, insert the finger duck and pull the whole rope to form a penis lasso.
  5. Insert the dildo through the penis lasso and leave the rope loose.
  6. Place the tied dildo along the beltline around the hips. Be sure to adjust it until when you are comfortable.
  7. Tie the rope loosely around your waist and run it through the base of the dick lasso. Pull the rope slowly from the body outwards to form a complete belt part.
  8. Take the surplus rope and run it behind you under the butt cheek, between your legs, and to the base of the penis lasso.
  9. Rerun it through the penis lasso to get an excellent grip
  10. Repeat step number 8 on the other leg, but do not go through the Penis lasso this time. Instead, make a loop and run it under the newly formed leg line and the beltline.
  11. Make a finger duck, pull the surplus rope through the arch, and cinch the rope to finish making your strap-on harness.  

Underwear DIY strap-on harness

An underwear DIY strap-on harness comprises lingerie or underwear, an O-ring, pair of scissors, a marker pen, a sewing string, and a needle.

Directions

  1. Take your underwear and lay it on a flat surface. The underwear should be tight enough to hold the dildo with an excellent grip.
  2. Place the O-ring on the underwear.
  3. Locate the best place to create a mark on your underwear.
  4. Use your marker pen to mark an X on the area you locate in step 3 above
  5. Use a pair of scissors and cut the marked area without extending beyond the marked area.
  6. Flip the lingerie inside out while on the surface, with the cut area facing you.
  7. Place the O-ring on the cut area, and fold in the cut area to mask the ring
  8. Sew the overlapping areas to form a dildo hole (you may use a sewing machine if it is within your reach)

Bottom Line

A DIY strap-on harness is one of the best sex toys for gays, lesbians, and playful couples to satisfy themselves sexually. In fact, some male partners love when their female partners peg them using a harness. At the same time, lesbians use DIY strap-on harnesses to penetrate one another. Regardless of how you want to use it, the ultimate pleasure of both partners is the end goal. So, if you were looking for a DIY project that’s extra enjoyable, save your money and make your own harness!
