11 best vibrating strap-ons for clitoral stimulation, pegging and power play
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.”
