A great harness for this beginner
This was a very well-made strap-on. It's both practical and well-designed for it's intended function, but at the same time, it's also beautiful to look at and sexy. A rare combination.Published: March 14, 2009
Pros:
Well-made, solid fit, very sexy.
Cons:
Plastic O-ring instead of metal.
I'm not very experienced (read: experienced at all) with strap-on harnesses, but I knew that finding a good fit is pretty critical for enjoying them. So I went to a physical store and tried on some harnesses to get a feel for which would work best for my body type and preference. Some of them felt unstable or cheap, and others just placed the dildo location a bit lower than I wanted it. I like the dildo to rest against my pubic bone, so I can feel like I have somewhere for it to rest on. Most harnesses were adjustable enough that I could place the dildo where I liked it. This Aslan Jaguar harness was definitely the best fit of them all for me. It felt very stable, like it would move with me, as if it was a part of me. I liked the sturdiness and sexiness of leather, and it had locking buckles instead of the more common D-rings - a thoughtful touch.
When I finally received my harness, I got to try it on against my bare skin. The leather felt really good, and much classier than velvet or nylon ones. It fit snugly, and the locking buckles definitely helped in keeping it from getting loose while I was using it. The around-the-butt two-strap design added stability so the whole thing moved with my hips, and left enough exposed skin that my partner could still touch me around the harness - definitely a big plus and not something I thought of when I was trying on harnesses. The harness came with a plastic ring to hold the dildo in place, instead of a metal ring, which was a surprise given the high quality of the materials otherwise. I was worried that the plastic would bend and let my dildo slip out, but it actually worked quite well. I loved the color - a pleasant wine red - and how it's just a little unique.
As I said earlier, I'm not that experienced with harnesses. It's easy to be intimidated by all the straps and buckles, but the Cherry Jaguar harness fit well and definitely was easy to get comfortable with using. I still have questions about how to clean this thing though. The leather is really nice so I would hate to damage it. I tried a wet soapy washcloth and patting it dry then leaving it flat to finish drying and that seems okay, but a bit time consuming. On the other hand, good toys always require gentle care. Great harness overall!

Cherry Jaguar Double Strap Harness

Is there a reason the Cherry Jaguar is listed as a separate item and not just a color choice for the Jaguar? (The other Jaguar product page shows it comes in black and silver.)

I can't see any reason for it. It may just be an oversight. Or perhaps someone else knows.

Thank you for viewing Cherry jaguar – dildo harness review page!



Do plastic O rings often break?
Good review! Check one of mine out if you can!
I don't think plastic O rings often break, but they are less durable than metal. I doubt it makes a big difference in the end, but I just prefer metal in general.
Thanks!
I also own the Jaguar, great harness. The ring is Neoprene which will not brake. Once the leg straps are adjusted once, that's it. Only have to loosen one side of the waist straps and I'm ready to get the harness on or off.
Cleaning is simple, damp cloth with a little soap.
How did the harness hold up to fucking? Did the dildo move around a lot or was it held in place?
The harness held up great to fucking, at least for me. Once I got the sizing right it felt very natural. It was a really good fit around my hips.
How much the dildo moves around is partially a function of the fit of the ring around the dildo as well as the rest of the harness, so I think some of that would be due to your choice of dildo. For me, the dildo was pretty stable, but I think if the ring was firmer it would be even better. I had a dildo which fit the ring pretty well. If your dildo is moving around too much, you might want to try a smaller ring or a wider dildo.
Thanks so much for getting back to me, ironrose. I'm new to the strap-on world and am still learning about different dildos, harnesses and ring types. =)
Good review!
awesome review
