What could make sporting a strapped on cock even better?  How about the added benefit of vibration?  Yes please!

The Vibrating Corsette Harness from Sportsheets fits up to a 60 inch waist and comes with o-rings with widths of 1 ½, 1 ¾ and 2 inches.  The non-strappy part is made from a swirly velvet material that is machine washable.

The VCH, as I’ll call it for short, fits as snug and you want it to and doesn’t get loose during use.  It sits low on the hips, has a sexy femme look and looks great on.

I tested this thing with 2 Tantus cocks – The Curve and the O2 Revolution.  The Curve, being that it is much lighter than the latter, was perfect.  It stayed nice and erect with no sagging.  It did shift a bit, but I didn’t look like I was losing my wang when I wasn’t banging.  The O2 is a bit bigger and denser.  I definitely experienced a little bit of sagging and it wasn’t the best match for the VCH, but I gave it a go for a few minutes.  One day I shall find the perfect match for my weighty pink dildo!

The removable vibrating bullet buzzes at medium speed.  The placement is roughly a couple of inches above your pussy.  There certainly wasn’t any pinpointed stimulation on your clit, but overall the added vibration was awesome.  It wasn’t super intense.  However, the pressure of the front part of the harness already feels awesome when it presses against clit and labia so the added rumble upped the fun quite a bit on that end.  Is it something I need every time?  No, but I’ll definitely take advantage of it more than a few times!

I definitely enjoyed using the Vibrating Corsette Harness with the smaller dildo.  I will say that anyone that prefers using larger dicks or that is a harness wearing veteran probably wouldn’t love this particular dildo holster.  Those looking for something pretty to wear when sporting a small to medium size schlong would absolutely get good use out of it.

Who loves strap-on sex?  Who hates annoying straps that come loose while you enjoy strap-on sex?  Who loves comfy underpants?  Meeeeee!

Wow, I’m in love with my RodeoH Harness.  I was lucky enough to review this brand new item thanks to Babeland!  While this awesome bit of cloth serves the same purpose as your traditional harness – it holds your dildo in place while you bang, but there are no straps involved!  The RodeoH Harness is underwear with a built in o-ring for your cock.  It is a sexy pair of briefs made from 95% cotton and 5% spandex.  I got the red and black which I love and prefer, but they also come in black and grey.

I float between 2 sizes and I went with the smaller of the two thinking the tighter the better and the more secure the dildo would be.  They fit me in terms of comfort, but my tummy does spill over a bit at the waist.  They feel fine on, but if I could go back I’d order the bigger size.  Of course this is in no way a reflection of the product!  In fact, I’d say this speaks well for it.  Even when they are snug they are comfy to wear, like your favorite pair of drawers.

The RodeoH is comfy and cute, but how does is stand up as far as practical use?  Pretty damn good.  I first used it with my beloved Tantus O2 Revolution (7.25 inches long, 1.25 inches wide) which is pretty dense and has some weight to it.  I did have a little floppage with this one.  It held up just fine during use, but it wasn’t quite up at attention when I was just hanging out.  I slipped my Tantus Curve – just like in the picture (6 inches long, 1 3/8 inches wide) in and it was nice and erect.  Moral of the story: light weight dildos fare better, but heavier ones work just fine.  RodeoH does suggest using 5-6 inch long dildos with 1 ½ to 2 inches in width.  I had to give my favorite dildo a whirl, whether or not it fit into the recommended specs.  I don’t see this as a problem unless you’re into slinging huge cock all of the time.

Between body fluid and lube, the RodeoH harness gets messy.  This isn’t the kind of thing you just thrown back in the toy box.  Per the directions, you hand wash or machine wash cold and hang to dry.  Drying will shrink it!  I hand washed.  I just felt better about not putting it into a machine.  I really love my RodeoH harness and would be sad if something happened to it!

Here is the size chart, which I would say is pretty on par:

XS: 23″-26″ hip
Small: 25″-29″ hip
Medium: 30″-34″ hip
Large: 34″-37″ hip
XL: 37″-40″ hip
XXL: 39″-41″
XXXL: 41″-43″

O-ring: 1-1/4″-2″ diameter (stretch)

Dildo not included!

The price is totally reasonable!

I am a big fan of this new product.  The RodeoH harness is comfortable and looks great on.  You can even wear it under your pants and slip your dildo in when the time arises.  So sexy and so very convenient.

I’ve got more dildos than any one person really needs and some times a great older dong gets lost in the mix. Because of that, I always keep my eye out for a way to make an old toy new again and that’s why I was really excited to check out this Leather Thigh Dildo Strap from JT’s Stockroom.

It’s pretty simple, but kind of genius. It’s basically a belt that holds up your cock instead of your pants, which you probably won’t be wearing anyways. Two pieces of leather, connected by a removable O ring that fastens to anything you can wrap it around. I haven’t found a better use than a thigh yet, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or I’m not trying!

According to The Stockroom, my Leather Thigh Strap fits anything between nine and eighteen inches, although I’ve got mine wrapped around my trusty metal water bottle right now and I think that’s smaller than nine inches around. The good news is that as long as you keep an open mind, you won’t run out of ways to us this versatile harness too quickly.

You should know that it does come in three sizes, so you can get one that’s bigger depending on your needs. The medium fits anything between 11” & 20” and the large runs from 12” to 25”.

If you’re a fan of leather, you’ll be pleased with the quality of this. The black leather is soft & supple, and totally comfortable in my opinion. One thing I appreciate is the fact that the O-ring can be removed and replaced with any size you prefer. That means I can use any harness compatible dildo with this as long as I have a corresponding O-ring (which I totally do!)

I’ve tried this harness out with a few different dildos, including the Tantus Echo. If you like a dick with plenty of twists, you’ll love this 6½” by 1½” silicone toy. It even comes with a bullet vibe that can be inserted into the base for a little extra buzz too!

Overall, I think this is a really nice harness and much hotter looking than my old knee brace style one. I haven’t had any problems with chafing and we’ve already had a lot of fun thinking of new ways to use it!

SpareParts knows how to make a harness. There are some toys you just lust after. Ones that you’ve seen in action in porn movies, or read about on your favorite sex toy website – ones that you dream about playing with. Every sex toy connoisseur has them. The SpareParts’ Joque harness was mine. I coveted this crème de la crème of jock strap style harnesses for quite some time and actually squealed with excitement when I heard that one was on its way for review.

So, what’s so great about the Joque harness, you ask? The real question should be what’s not. It’s obvious that Joque was designed by someone that actually uses harnesses and knows what works. The structure is unlike any harness I’ve seen before. Instead of the standard thin straps and plastic fasteners, Joque is actually one piece of good quality thick nylon that uses Velcro to help the wearer achieve the perfect fit with no bunching or pulling. As well, the harness features spandex-y leg straps that fit like a dream and stay in one place. I’ve seen a lot of harnesses in my day, but none that even compare to the quality and attention to detail when it comes to making sure it fits and feels comfortable.

I especially love that SpareParts took the time to make a product that caters to women of different sizes. It’s a little more difficult to find a harness if you rock a zaftig body, but Joque has two sizing options and is designed to fit well on bigger bodies. That extra thought on their part really makes me respect the company and makes we want to shout their praises from the rooftops.

Aside from the fit, which is a big part, the coolest feature of Joque is the pouch/”O” ring in the front. An act of what I can only figure as extreme genius, someone over at SpareParts thought to make the “O” ring that you slide your dildo through out of elastic. That’s right; the “O” ring stretches and completely accommodates even the biggest of cocks. No taking precious sex time to switch “O” rings when you want to use a different sized dick. Just pull out and push the new one in. Seriously easy. Another awesome feature of Joque is the pouch that the “O” ring leads into. The pouch holds the base of the dildo and allows for the option to have the base against your skin or inside the pouch with the soft backing rubbing against your delicate bits. The pouch is also designed to take toys with balls, which was the biggest downfall I found with a few other harnesses.

While using the harness is pretty much a dream come true, the cleanup is far from a nightmare. The harness is 100% waterproof and can be thrown in the washing machine or cleaned by hand. And yes, being waterproof means is totally shower and bathtub friendly as well. To keep Joque clean between uses, he comes with a matching travel bag as well. How smart is that!

I know it’s obvious that I have a soft spot in my heart (and pants) for this harness, but to be honest, there are a few downsides to it as well. First, I hate having to read instructions for a sex toy. I want my toy to be intuitive enough that I can pull it out of the box and get going. But with Joque, you really need to read the instructions, and wash him first, and take the time to properly fit him. There is no just goin’ to town here. While I know that this negative is far from a real issue, it’s worth noting. I mean really, how much does it suck to be in the middle of getting busy and have to stop to read up on how to fit your harness? No thanks. Luckily you only have to do this once and just grab and go for all the times after.

With two size choices and a bevy of colors to pick (mine is lavender!), SpareParts really does know how to make a harness.

Contrary to what TV and movies tell you, fat chicks actually do have sex, and plenty of it. And we aren’t hiding in the dark, ashamed of our stretch mark-laden breasts and thick thighs. We are too busy making sure our partners are getting off and showing them exactly how to hit our g-spot juuuuust right.

One of the industries I would expect to know that is the sex toy industry. Sure, most sex toys are pretty much one size fits most when it comes to getting off. The majority of people can touch that vibe to their clit, or play with one of the million size dildos that each company offers, but the toy that I’m interested in talking about here in the strap-on harness. While harness come in a variety of different styles – from the double straps around the leg jock strap model to the g-string-esque, through the legs sort, they don’t always come in sizes that work for bigger bodies. The average maximum waist size of the harness I’ve checked out is between 40” and 50”. Those sizes may fit a bunch of people, but they aren’t getting me fucked, so really, I’m not interested in those harnesses, or companies that only serve smaller bedfellows.

To be perfectly fair, I have noticed that many companies are beginning to make harnesses that fit larger waist sizes – some even going so far as to offer two sizing options of the same harness, so that the buyer can choose which sizing option will best fit their body and go with that. Brilliant idea. The only down side to making the same harness for bigger and smaller people are that the groups have very different needs and the same harness doesn’t always accommodate those differences.

So, all that said, I was thoroughly and pleasantly surprised when I saw the Sedeux Divine Diva Plus Size Harness from Sportsheets on EdenFantasys.com. Finally, a harness that was built for MY needs and MY pleasure. Halle-freaking-luiah ! Offering up to a fabulous 82” waist size, the Divine Diva harness has a thick nylon waist strap and a super comfortable back support piece that I assume is there to help keep the straps from slipping around. Very thoughtful, Sportsheets, very thoughtful indeed. As well, the strap fasteners are attached to the back piece, which definitely gives the whole harness a little bit of extra support and keeps the straps extra secure!

Another positive of the Sedeux Divine Diva is that it comes with three interchangeable O-rings, so you fit almost any dildo you’d like! That is a definitely bonus when you are like me and have an arsenal of cocks that you enjoy equally and like to rotate them regularly. What can I say, I don’t want any of them to get jealous.

There are a lot of great things about the Divine Diva harness, but unfortunately there are a few issues as well. First, the biggest issue for me is that the way the harness is designed – with the leg straps attaching in the middle of the bottom of the crotch pad, below the O-ring, and with the bottom snap of the O-ring fasteners being super short, it is near impossible to use a dildo with balls. They just don’t fit. I did remedy the situation by putting the largest O-right in and figuring out a way to rig the harness to bend a little and allow the whole dildo in and secure. Not perfect, but sometimes you need to improvise.

I also had to fix these two super scratchy bits where the leg straps meet the waistband in the back. I guess someone (or some machine) must have burned the little bits of nylon on the end and just left them as hard, prickly little pokers that left scratches. I ended up just sewing small pieces of fleece over the scratchy bit, which worked well, but still, people shouldn’t have to do repairs on their new toys. And lastly, the structure of the harness is pretty sturdy, but the actual nylon is a little on the cheap side and feels a little rough when it’s in contact with sensitive skin, like thighs.

All in all, the Sedeux Divine is a pretty decent harness that comes from a company that is actually interested in knowing what their customers need and filling those gaps in the market. Sex toys are expensive and I know I, for one, want to give my hard earned bread to a company that cares whether or not I (or some other zaftig gal) can get off just how she wants to… with no weight limit requirements.

Ok, we all know Valentine’s Day is coming at the end of this week.  Sure, it exciting for some of us - but to others it’s totally annoying and a bit of a bother.  And while I’m of the giddy, squeally variety when it comes to Feb. 14th, I’ve decided to consciously not inundate this week’s Link Love with all the sweetness and hearts that every other blog on the web is sporting.  None of those ‘what to get your man on v-day’ posts or what have you.  The only thing Valentine-y you are getting is the heart picture above… I couldn’t help myself to give at least a little cheer.  But, doing this also means that Link Love is a little shorter this week. Seriously all the sex news on the web is pointing to Valentine’s Day, and even I’m a little sick of it.  So, on that note, let’s get to it!

- Just like anything else with a motor, sex toys don’t last forever. Sad, I know, but when your trusty vibe finally konks out do the right thing and send it to Florida.  Old folks love used sex toys! No, no, ew gross, just kidding.  FL company Dreamscapes recycles sex toys – all you have to do is wash it and mail it!  Easy peasy AND you get a $10 to vibratorshopping.com so you can mourn your favorite toy by having lots of orgasms with a new one!  (via Jamye Waxman)

- Coolest gamer invention ever.  Maybe even better than this.  Now they just need to figure out how to combine the two…  (via Tiny Nibbles)

- Speaking of sex toys, this sextoys.com post tell you exactly why it’s ok for your BF to like it up the butt.  And if you need any help picking out a good harness…

- Ok, one more thing about sex toys, then I’ll move on.  Babeland recently posted some awesome pictures of the inner working of the Vixen Creations dildo factory.  How cool is that!  Silicone dildos everywhere! Yay!  Now I get to see where my favorite dick was born.  Love it!  Thanks Babeland!

- Are AIDS protection gels on the horizon?  Seems like maybe they are.  (via TheFrisky)

- I love personal essays, and I think this one about a vasectomy and a sex life rejuvenation is pretty neat.

- Congrats to all the this year’s GAVYN nominees! WooHoo!

- Not quite about sex, but it’s Sarah Haskins, so really, I had to post it.  Oh man, thanks Sarah, now I desperately want chocolate.

- And lastly, I love this video from the Courage Campaign.  It makes me sad that it has be done, but it also makes me smile.

Hope that gets you through to the weekend!

Back when I was a mere dyke of 20, I went online and bought myself a vixen creations dildo, the Woody to be exact. Without even a glimmer of my sex writing/sex toy connoisseur future, I actually got myself one of the best dicks on the market. Guess my love of quality silicone toys has always been in my blood. This gold sparkly 6 3/16” x 1 ½ “ 100% silicone cock turned out to be the first of many amazing dildos in my possession, but the only vixen creation to ever get below my belt. And since purchasing that first toy, I’ve been dreaming of bringing more vixen cocks into my bedroom.

Fast forward six years. I still have my glittery gold dick, but I actually have just begun to realize something that I hadn’t noticed before I started really testing out other dildos to review – I prefer girth over length. And while I still love my Woody sometimes, it is usually a little too long and a little too thin to really hit all my right spots. In my older age, I finally realized that I don’t really need to settle for sometimes painful sex and can get a toy that really works for me. I decided to check out a thicker, shorter Vixen cock. I clicked on over to EdenFantasy.com, and lo and behold, what do I find? Champlette!

Measuring in at 6” x 1 5/8”, Champlette is basically a shorter, fatter version of Woody (although it doesn’t have the same super pronounced head as Woody, but I’ll live). PLUS, it came in glittery silver! Squealing as I typed, I ordered my Champlette up and eagerly awaited the package to arrive at my office. Tearing the box open once it arrive, I prominent displayed Champlette in all her sliver sparkle glory (I work in porn – that’s how we roll) and let my eyes wander to it all day long as my mind raced with anticipation and thought of the evening to come… literally.

Once home, I grabbed my Make Me Blush harness and tried to push Champlette through the rubber “O” ring to strap her in. No go. The ring was too small to accommodate the pure girth of my soon to be favorite cock. Shit. Oh wait a second… one of the best parts of the Make Me Blush harness and dildo set was that it came with three interchangeable rubber “O” rings, just in case you wanted to fuck with a thicker toy. I rummaged through the toy box, found the biggest ring the harness came with and switched out the ring with little effort (thank god for metal snaps!). Perfect fit! Nearly passing out with giddiness and excitement, I watched the girl slip into the harness and adjust her cock. Dripped on a little water-based lube (silicone lube + silicone toy = melty silicone mess. Don’t do it!) and we’re ready to go. HOLY CRAP! This is THE dick that was made for my body. Seriously, I’m pretty sure Vixen had the dimensions of my vag posted next to their workbench as they designed this particular dick.

While some people might find that they need to work up to Champlette’s diameter, the girth is perfect for me be able to enjoy without a lot of foreplay. This is awesome for times when I just want to get straight to fucking without a ton of getting my vag good and ready with fingers.

Not only do I love this cock for its measurements, I love that I feel totally comfortable and safe using it because it is 100% silicone, which is phthalate free and hypo-allergenic. I’m pretty happy with my pussy, and I’d like to keep yucky chemicals out of it, thank you. Silicone is also super easy to clean – you can wash it with antibacterial soap and warm water, or if you want to sterilize it or share it with others, just boil it for 3 minutes or toss it into the dishwasher (top shelf, no soap) and voila, shiny clean toy to go get dirty with!

While Champlette may seem a little pricy at first, when it comes to the happiness of your bits, it is usually cheaper to pay. And with good silicone toys, you buy one, treat it right and it will basically last you forever. Or at least $60 bucks worth of orgasms… if you can really put a price on pleasure like that.

Champlette’s awesome size, perfect slight curve and top of the line material make it my #1 go to toy!

I have to admit I was a little more than excited when I found out I was going to be reviewing the Jaguar Harness + Purple Leo Combo for Babeland. Every review I’ve ever read of the Jaguar has been insanely positive, and I was thrilled to finally experience what everyone has been raving about.

This leather contraption is absolutely the most comfortable harness I’ve ever strapped on! The materials are all top of the line and it is designed with the user in mind. Nothing kills the mood like chafing from an inferior harness and, despite heavy use, I haven’t experienced any trouble with my new favorite.

One thing that’s a bit different about the Jaguar is that your cock sits a bit lower than with other harnesses I’ve used. That may not seem worth mentioning, but after a few minutes of thrusting, you’ll notice the base of your cock banging against your clit and understand why this is a very good thing.

Because I’m an honest reviewer, I’ll try to highlight the less than amazing facts about this gift from the goddesses. First, it’s made of leather. I have no problem with this, because it’s super soft and awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend you buy it for the new vegan chick you’re banging. Secondly, it only comes with one O ring, so you’re limited in what size cock you can use. Of course, the ring does snap out, so if you have other O rings you can change it out.

Honestly, I’ve never really heard anyone say anything bad about the Jaguar Harness and I now understand why! This supple leather harness is in a class by itself.

In my opinion, this is the way to go if you’re looking for a really nice harness. At first I was a little concerned that it was only designed to fit women with 26″- 42″ hips, but once I discovered that they do make a larger harness that is available at the Aslan Leather, I was quite pleased. I would hate to think that my more zaftig friends were unable to know the joy that is the Jaguar Harness.

While the harness is what really stands out, I have to talk a bit about the Leo also. This silicone cock is a really great match for my new favorite harness. It’s a little bit bigger than your standard dildo, but not intimidating at all. Looks count too, and this one is unique because while it has realistic attributes, it’s abstract enough for those of you who aren’t looking for a life-like experience. Besides looking good, this is also a quality cock. Silicone is my favorite material for a strap-on because it’s safe, easy to sterilize and will last forever if you take care of it.

Overall, I’d say that the Jaguar Harness + Purple Leo Combo is pretty much the best deal of 2008. I can’t say enough good about the harness itself and the Leo is a quality dick that looks great and performs even better!

Some harnesses are all about the bells and whistles. Some have fancy backs that lace up, some are made of shiny, colored vinyl and some even have little pouches for mini bullet vibes. While those harnesses may be great in their own right, I prefer something a little less decked out. For me, a harness is more a means to an end than an accessory to decorate and have stand out. I know many people would disagree with that sentiment, and I might as well at times, but for the most part, I like a bare bones harness that works hard and keeps both my girlfriend and I knee deep in hot strap-on action.

I really like the Wild Angel harness because it is just that, a basic jockstrap style harness with nylon straps and a padded bit that protects your pelvis from the back of the dildo and keeps your pubic hair from getting caught. Ouch! The straps are nice and sturdy and the fasteners hold strong during the hardest of thrusting. I don’t think we had to adjust them more than once in all the testing we did. Plus the waist strap fits up to 64”, which definitely raises my opinion of the Wild Angel. As a zaftig girl myself, I respect any company that makes toys accessible for bigger girls to get it on just as easily.

While I like the idea of a harness coming pre-packed with a dildo, I wasn’t super impressed with this dildo on first sight. It’s a little cheaper looking then I would like and had some rough edges to it, which I was surprised by, as it is silicone. And while I wasn’t impressed with it the first few times around – the g-spot curve was uncomfortable for me and I didn’t really enjoy the ridges – I actually started to like the dildo after a while. In honesty, I doubt it will make it out of the toy box super often, but it’s a pretty decent alternative when all my other dicks are dirty or not at arm’s reach. But really, that’s the nice thing about most harnesses – you can switch out to your cock of choice as often as you like! Try that with an attached penis!

To sum the Wild Angel Harness and Dildo up best: Love the harness, like the dildo. If you’re looking for something good quality, yet less expensive and good for both beginners and strap-on savvy alike, the Wild Angel is a great option.

Welcome to the first post-election humpday!  I’m sure plenty of people got their hump on in victory last night as Obama won the US presidency in a landslide.  Woohoo!  I won’t get too partisan on you guys, but really, I am so excited for the future of our country and to see where we go next.  But I think I’m even more excited that we don’t have to deal with four more years of Sarah Palin’s head photoshopped onto naked bodies.  It may have been funny the first time, but pages and pages of them were a little overboard.  Anyway, let’s celebrate the President-Elect with some good old fashion humday link lovin’!!

-  I’ve seen some crazy shit on public transit (a few weeks back, I saw a woman talking to a coconut – seriously), but a woman watching porn and giving blow by blow commentary totally tops anything I’ve ever experienced. Gotta love the NYC subway system!

-  John McCain is probably pretty bummed about his total electoral annihilation and could probably use a little pick me up.  Here you go Maverick:  100 Sex and Dating Tips for Seniors.

- Prop 8 is not written in ink yet.  I refuse to give up hope until the end.

- Sigh. I thought it was over, but it’s probably just beginning.

- Super girlie harnesses - the perfect holiday gift for the femme in your life (ahem, ahem).

Okie dokie – hope this gets you through to the weekend, when you can officially celebrate this election!
