Prince - double strap by ASLAN Leather - review by Sam (aka Jul!a)

This harness is a great way for a woman to strap up and give herself a penis. It can be used by a woman on another woman, or even to peg a man. Its fun sparkly design makes it a delight to look at and its easy to use design makes it a delight to use.

While this harness may be made by Aslan Leather, it's actually made of vinyl, along with some metal. All of the straps and the "plate" that sits in the front like a thong might are made of a purple metallic looking vinyl, and there's a strip across the top of the crotch plate that's a piece of black vinyl with silver glitter. The purple sparkles and the black and silver sparkles all look like they're part of the material and not something that's going to flake off anywhere. Truth be told they remind me a lot of seats on carnival rides, specifically Tilt-A-Whirls. At 1/8" thick, it's thick enough that you'll be able to feel it but not so thick that it becomes cumbersome. Nothing really had a scent or taste either.

This is a two strap harness which means that instead of having one strap run between your legs and up your butt, two straps run between your legs and up the sides of your butt cheeks. You can adjust the fit of the harness both on each side as well as on each strap in the back. Two large metal O rings attach to the silvery portion of the top of the crotch plate and attached to those are the straps. These are the ones with the holes that get fed through the buckles attached to the strap that runs across the back. Attached to the bottom of the crotch plate with two rivets are the two straps that come up and buckle into the straps that attach to the back. On the front of the crotch plate is a removable o-ring controlled by snaps. The one that you get is rubber and is just slightly bigger than the hole in the crotch plate at 1 3/4" across. You can't use a dildo any bigger than that, and if you try to use an o-ring any smaller than that you'll end up with it forming an oval shape.

For the most part the craftsmanship is really good. The vinyl is always shiny, the metal hasn't shown any signs of rusting after being cleaned a few times, and there aren't really any loose threads anywhere. The edges of the crotch plate and the ends of the straps are all open, and lengthwise down the middle of every strap is a seam that opens easily if you fold the strap over. This shouldn't end up affecting the back at all, but the straps that have edges could start to come apart and work their way on down until the whole strap with the holes in it won't lay flat at all. If you're good with superglue you can get the edges secured, but otherwise be careful with them.

I was impressed with the size and fit. Around where this would normally sit on me is about 34" around, and I have the waistband tightened comfortably on the 3rd hole on each side. Around my butt normally measures about 37" around and I have each of the back straps set on the second hold. It should fit around a hip size of anywhere between 29" to 43" while sitting at about the top of the hip bone. On me it sits pretty low, but that's also because I have the butt straps adjusted so tightly. If you were to loosen them, you could get the harness to sit a little bit higher up.

I was impressed with the performance of this harness. It was really easy for me to adjust on my own, and anything that placement made a little tricky to get to was really easy for my husband to adjust for me as well. It's held up great to both thrusting and him rocking away on top of me. I've found that if you want to also wear a smaller dildo or something, it's a little tricky with the double straps but can be done. You just have to make sure that the straps actually sit over the base of the dildo rather than slipping off to the side. Wearing something like the Feeldoe Slim with it was actually pretty easy. There was a little bit of bulk, but it held it in place nicely all the same.

It's ok to get both water based and silicone based lube on the harness while you're playing, and to clean it off you can wash in the sink with warm soapy water, spray it down with toy cleaner, or wipe it with a wet wipe. Make sure that everything is completely dry before you put it away as the metal might rust if you're not careful. Otherwise, you can fold this in itself and tuck it away in a drawer when you're all done with it.

The packaging was really minimal, it seriously came in a plastic bag. It's worked well for storage, but there's not much more I could say about it.

This wasn't my first harness, but it was the first harness I really liked wearing. It doesn't get tangled, it's easy to adjust, and doesn't leave nylon webbing hanging all over the place while I'm using it. Literally the only thing I'm not so hot on was discovering the slit down the middle of all the straps. It isn't going to take much to peel them apart and I have a super bad habit of not being able to keep from picking at things that I know are loose. But I think that if I focus on just using this to pound my husband and don't pick at it, it should be fine.
