The fix thigh harness - leg harness discontinued by Outlaw Leather - review by Antipova

USE
If you can dream it up, the Fix can do it.

CONSTRUCTION
Outlaw Leathers of Seattle created the Fix Thigh Harness from very fine leather and nickel-plated steel. One T-shaped piece of leather is designed to fit under a dildo. Two leather straps are securely riveted to the T-piece and allow you to tighten the harness up around a thigh (or any cylinder your heart desires) using D-rings. D-rings allow for a snug fit for every size of thigh from 12 in to 28in---there will be no slipping because your leg falls between holes in a buckle. Because the back of the leather is unfinished, it sheds a bit, but the straps do hold securely in their D-rings, and the back of the T-piece doesn't slip around on your skin or pants.

The T-piece is 8.5 in long. The "top" is looped over the upper strap and riveted, while the "bottom" is broader, and the strap is riveted at one side while D-rings are riveted to the other, and the straps continue to the center where they snap together to hold a 1.75 in diameter O-ring. Because of the snaps, it's easy to install any dildo you please, or even swap out the factory O-ring with one that suits your purpose. There are also two slits "above" the O-ring that let you slip a bullet vibe in for the rider's grinding pleasure.

USE REVISITED
I'm sure your head's already filled with visions of all the brilliant ways to use the Fix! For starters, there's thigh fucking---I'm a big fan of grinding on my partner's thigh if we're laying around on the couch in the evening. Grinding can only be improved by the addition of one of our favorite dildos! This can be done 'riding' your partner's thigh if you're feeling rambunctious, or in a slightly-modified spoon position if you're feeling like cuddling. It's also perfect for holding a cock between my thighs after sex, when my partner's spent and I still feel like some gentle-but-firm aftercare.

In a female-female coupling, imagine both partners wearing a thigh harness, each penetrating and being penetrated at the same time.

The Fix can also be used as a surrogate Bonbon---simply strap the harness to a bolster pillow or a folded-over bed pillow, and you've got a shape to ride. The Fix in pillow-mode is great for solo play---but it's also great for partner play, if you'd like to give your G-spot some attention while you're loving your partner with your mouth.

I was initially attracted to the Fix for anal play. When you're stepping up a size, it's important that you have complete control of the pace and pressure of the insertion---but that can leave your partner feeling left out. If you've got a Fix, though, you can place your plug on your supine partner's thigh, and maintain your own pace while letting your partner be close to the action.

EXPERIENCE
The Fix performs really well at every use I've been able to come up with. Its unfinished back lets it stay put during penetration and exertion. The D-rings don't stay in place perfectly but they do stay in place quite well, and an occasional adjustment is preferable to having the harness fit a little too loose or a little too tight due to bucklehole placement. I was pleased to see how appreciative my partner was at being included in the usually a slow, quiet, solitary task of warming up to a new plug. And after succeeding at the use I was most interested in, I was thrilled to come up with new idea after new idea and enjoy the fact that the Fix has mastered them all!

CLEANING AND CARE
Here's the Fix's sole drawback---a dildo harness in this position is going to get wet. To keep the leather in top condition, wash it in a light circular motion with a glycerine saddle soap, and condition it with a leather conditioner of your choice (Huberd's Shoe Grease is an excellent choice). If it needs to be dried, hang it with all snaps undone and aim a hairdryer on a cool, low setting at the harness for several hours.

Caring for leather involves a bit of time and a few materials, but the time you invest will be well-rewarded with hours of creative play with your Fix. It's almost something you'll grow to enjoy, as well---caring for your tools can become a treasured element of the entire experience.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I am beyond pleased with the versatility of the Fix. A review of another thigh harness on Eden was titled "Attach Appendages Anywhere!"---and this tagline rings true of the Fix, too. My original goal for the Fix, of fixing a new plug in place so my partner could be present as I worked up a size anally, worked like a dream. And now that I've got it, I'm floored by the amount of potential it has. From soft gentle grinding to vigorous thigh (or pillow!) riding, and appendages affixed to any ol' place that suits you, if you can dream it up, the Fix can follow through. I'm looking forward to letting you all know what other uses I've come up with in the follow-up review.

And, finally, the Fix can be part of a set, if you really want to attach appendages anywhere and everywhere---the Palm Harness comes in matching colors, and Outlaw's Annie-O lets you strap on a dildo in the traditional manner, all in the same ensemble.
