Strap in for a wild ride

After some BDE but don’t have a spare penis at hand? If you’re ready to experiment with pegging or you’re in a lesbian or queer relationship and fancy a bit of penetration tonight, a strap-on sex toy might just be the solution.

A dildo can work wonders in any number of sexual scenarios, including power play, double penetration, or switching up traditional gender roles for kicks. Add a strap-on harness into the mix and you can thrust away to your heart’s content without a real penis in sight.

However, while penetrative sex with a shaft-shaped sex toy has its perks, it doesn’t always hit the spot. If (like most vagina-owners) you need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, sometimes strap-ons need a little extra vavavoom to get things going in the bedroom.

Allow us to introduce you to the vibrating strap-on, a powerful sex toy designed with pulsating orgasmic pleasure in mind. We spoke to Gigi Engle, sexologist and sex expert for sex toy retailer Sextoys.co.uk about how to wear a vibrating strap-on, why they’re great and the best vibrating strap-ons to buy now.

What is a vibrating strap-on?

A strap-on sex toy is a makeshift phallus designed to be worn during penetrative sex. But while anything penis-shaped is fun to play with, both strap-ons (and real-life penises) can struggle to achieve direct clitoral stimulation in the heat of the moment. But throw in the addition of a well-placed motor to make your strap-on vibrate, and you’ve got yourself a party.

“A vibrating strap-on is a strap-on dildo that also vibrates,” says Engle. “A strap-on is essentially a dildo that’s compatible with a harness, and a vibrator is a vibrating sex toy. This type of toy combines the two so that the dildo itself vibrates.”

And if you’re not into dicks, don’t be dismayed. “Strap-ons aren’t always phallic and don’t have to look like a penis with veins,” explains Engle. “They might be phallic-shaped, but there are a lot of gender-neutral options in different colours that aren’t anatomically realistic.”

How do vibrating strap-ons work?

The best thing about strap-on sex toys is that anything goes. “Vibrating strap-ons are often used for vaginal or anal penetrative sex between partners who do not have penises. They're often used with two vulva-owning partners,” says Engle.

However, anyone can join in the fun. “A person with a penis can also use a strap-on,” adds Engle. “This is a great choice for those dealing with erectile dysfunction.”

What are the benefits of using a vibrating strap-on?

If you’re a fan of penetrative sex but your bog standard dildo isn't hitting the spot, vibrating strap-ons come with a number of sensual benefits for all parties involved. “They're for people who enjoy being penetrated,” explains Engle. “So the person doing the penetrating may enjoy the sensation of penetrating their partner as well as having a penis (or penis-like) body part.”

Strap-ons are also a great way to explore power dynamics. “The person wearing the strap-on may enjoy channelling dom energy with a more submissive partner,” says Engle. “For the person being penetrated, they may prefer being submissive or just really enjoy penetration as a form of pleasure and stimulation.”

How to use a strap-on vibrator

Not sure how to use your vibrating strap-on? These days strap-ons come in every imaginable shape, size and colour, including vibrating, double-ended and strapless, so it’s worth reading the small-print on your strap-on of choice before you proceed.

The following pointers can also help you make the most of your pulsating member:

  • Lube up: First things first, always use plenty of lubricant. “A water-based one is the best choice, since most vibrating strap-ons are made of silicone, and silicone lubes can degrade toys,” explains Engle. “An aloe-based lube is also a good choice, and even oil-based lubes are compatible as long as you thoroughly wash them with soap and water after use.”
  • Communication is key: Make sure everyone is comfortable with the dildo being used before you get started. “Sometimes you get this idea in your head that a dildo automatically looks like a penis and is super phallic, but there are a lot of great non-phallic strap-ons,” says Engle. “So, just be sure to discuss what kind of strap-on you want to use, because some people might be intimidated or have some trauma around penetration and penises.”
  • Size matters: Never assume anything when it comes to ideal dildo size, as everyone is unique. And for anal dildo play, small is always better. “Start with a smaller butt plug and then move up to strap-ons,” says Engle. “For vaginal play, vaginas do stretch, but you don’t want to choose the biggest dildo right away. That said, if the person is a size queen, they might prefer something larger. The key here is communication and figuring out what you and your partner desire and are comfortable with.”

Can you turn a normal strap-on into a vibrating version?

Want to know how to turn your vibrator into a strap-on? While you could treat yourself to a great new sex toy, it’s also perfectly possible to turn your existing sex toys into pulsating love machines.

“You can turn a vibrator into a strap-on or vice versa by combining the two,” explains Engle. “There are many ways you can do this, but the most straightforward way is to use a vibrating cock ring. Just place the ring onto the strap-on dildo, and then the raised base of a compatible cock ring can be used for clitoral stimulation when the strap-on is inserted. Some dildos also have a space for a bullet vibrator to be inserted at the base. However, getting a vibrating dildo is the easiest route!”
