SpareParts joque harness review
This may well be the closest-to-perfect harness I've ever used. It's not the most attractive one out there, but for those who like to harness up regularly and get a real workout, I highly recommend the Joque.Published: May 23, 2008
Pros:
Comfort, superior design, versatility.
Cons:
Leg straps- too thin, might stretch out quickly. Wish they were wider. Label on front.
I’m a harness snob. I don’t know when that happened, but sometime after my first nylon harness and before my most recent acquisition- the Spareparts Joque- I became very demanding of my harnesses. Typical problems I encounter are comfort, fit on my body and with a cock I’m using, and adjustment range/hold- I had to punch my own holes in one harness that should have been the right size. The Joque addresses all of these demands.
The first thing I noticed about the Joque was the unique attachment of leg straps to waistband. This feature is not one of the things touted in the description or on the company’s website, but let me tell you, it’s fabulous. Anyone with hips and a solid harness history probably been frustrated with the way some leg straps slide around on the back of a waistband, or just don’t sit where they actually do their job (I know I have!). These leg straps are secured on the front half of the harness, so that they actually do wrap around my body and keep the harness more secure. When I had my cock in place, the weight of it didn’t shift the position of these straps as it has in other harnesses. As far as comfort- everyone is right. This is, by far, the most comfortable harness I’ve ever worn. I occasionally sacrifice comfort for style- my favorite rubber harness often leaves black marks and deep indentations on me- but I can imagine wearing the Joque for hours without being hurt by it. The material is fairly breathable, and was easy to wash in the sink with some hand soap when I was done with it.
I was concerned about the expandable o-ring, mainly because anything stretchy will tend to stretch too much. However, after squeezing my thick (2” diameter) cock through and fucking my boy from behind for a while, I have faith in this o-ring.
Last, but not least, the adjustment process. No buckles or d-rings here- this harness uses strong Velcro for the basic waist sizing, and buckles for leg straps and further adjustment of the waistband. These buckles hold better than d-rings- even while fucking in a standing position that puts a fair amount of tension on these parts, I didn't have to stop for adjustment.
Other possible uses that I have yet to try:
Adding penetration of the wearer. The pouch looks like it will indeed hold something inside me, if I so desire, or keep a vibrator in place.
Hard packing. I haven’t yet mastered the art of packing hard without being too indecent to go out in public, but I have some ideas for how this harness might help. More on that later. ;)

SpareParts Joque Harness

Perfect harness for Pack and Play. Works as an STP harness due to the open back, and holds well. Quick switch a dildo in for play! It works so well! I don't know any other harness that is as comfortable, versatile, and works as well.

Strap-on dildos this works with / 25% off
-
So, it says 2" in the description. However, what it doesn't say (since it's stretchable) is whether this is the minimum or maximum diameter? If it's the maximum, then what is the minimum (i.e. what is the diameter of the ring before it stretches at all)?
Also, I find it odd that for the harness/dildo kit 25% off deal, there are only 2" dildos recommended - what about the rest that would work with this stretchy ring? How could I get the kit 25% off with them? -
I'm not sure what the minimum diameter is. As for the sale, there isn't a way to get the 25% off the dildos not included in the kit. Since the kit is the choices between these featured items, you can't substitute them unfortunately.

I measured ours and the interior diameter of the ring unstretched is about 1.25" so that would be the minimum.

Durability
-
Just wondering how long this lasts on average? Being that it's on the expensive side for me, I wouldn't want it to start tearing/wearing after a few months' use.
Also, I'm assuming it can just be thrown in the laundry machine with the rest of my clothes, right? -
We've had ours for almost a year now and there are no signs of tearing. I'm sure it will last us several years. In terms of cleaning, this is from the SpareParts website:
PRODUCT CARE
Wash before use
Hand or machine washable (preferably in a wash bag)
Low temperature tumble dry or lay flat to dry
We hand wash and lay flat to dry.

That Ring, Is It Stretchy? (Related to Joque Harness)
-
My boyfriend and I are looking for a harness that will accommodate a dildo of 2.5 inches in diameter. I know it says the ring is 2 inches, but does it stretch enough to hold this? All the harnesses with replaceable rings that look good enough to use are out of stock right now. We're looking to order fairly soon, so any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

The Joque™ should fit the toy, but you'll need to do use our special bag trick to make it fit. You can see how to do the bag trick in this quick video - Using Toys with the Joque™ Harness. Since this is a larger toy than we recommend using with the harness, you should take extra precautions to remove the toy from the harness after you use them with so that they don't over stretch the elastic ring.
Have fun!

Hi Nikki Lee! Thanks so much for this information and linking me to the video! Unfortunately because my boyfriend's vacation is this week we went with a different harness: the Vegan Jaguar by Aslan Leather. Too bad because the Joque is waterproof and I'm pretty sure this one isn't, but oh well, ç'est la vie. Maybe another time we can get this one as well for some shower time fun! Thanks again! ^_^

Joque Harness dong attachment?
-
I just ordered this strap, I am still waiting to get it in the mail but I was wondering if anyone can suggest which double dong to use with it? I am confused on if I would use a dong that is double sided or two separate ones, any recommendations would be great!!!
-
It's really up to you!
Any of the strap-less strap-ons we have which are less than two inches in diameter (which, I think, is all of them) will fit into the Joque. I would recommend using a dildo that is two-sided as using two separate ones may cause issues when the bases are rubbing against each other (just awkwardness issues; no physical ones).
Some of the neat double-ended dildos we sell include the Feeldoe line and the Share line. We've used double-ended dildos with our Joque with no issue; it actually helps hold and support the dildo really nicely! -

Love the new waistbands on SpareParts Harnesses!
-
I know a lot of people had disliked the white/grey rectangle that adorned the front of the SpareParts harnesses in the past. The new waistband design looks so sleek and sexy!
I think this is a great update to the harnesses. What do you think? Do you like the new waistband design? -
You know? To be honest, I had planned to, if we got the Joque harness, just use my good ol' seam ripper and undo the stitching holding the label on. Provided that was how it was attached. But I like this better than it was before yeah! ^_^

Little Su Tulip vibe
-
strapONwifeI really want to get this harness, but I'm seeking something for me to have in me while I don my dong and play with my hubby's ass. Babeland recommends the Joya Little Su Tulip, but I'm worried that because of the open design of the Joque, it might fall out. Anyone have any experience or suggestions? Thank you! -
See other post. I wonder how Babeland recommends using the Little Su- the idea sounds nice, but with the power button positioned about where the dildo's base and harness pad is I think you'd have problems keeping the vibrator on.

Joque Harness - More colors?
-
I just saw a huge variety of colors for this product on Amazon. Are any of these color choices coming to EF? I already got one so I guess it doesn't matter, but...
-
Yeah, I second this one... I think that the WHITE one is really missing
-
I want the purple one!

Joque Harness Size?
-
From what I can tell from the description (and the lack of options) the only Joque harness size sold here is the size A. Am I correct in assuming that or am I just too stupid to find the size B? Will Eden Fantasys be carrying the B size?
-
We started ordering these early on - before there was an A and B - now we will be carrying the Size B, most likely also in Pink, Blue and Black!

I wanted to order it with my Holiday Contributor discount? I really wanted to order it through here instead of somewhere else. :)

Joque harness and the Feeldoe dildo
-
MattHi! I'm going to buy this harness to use with the Feeldoe dildo (although feeldoe is said to be harness free, my GF can not keep it stable without a harness).
So my first question is will the Joque match the Feeldoe and the second is how my GF is supposed to put it on? -
KernizanQuote: Hi! I'm going to buy this harness to use with the Feeldoe dildo (although feeldoe is said to be harness free, my GF can not keep it stable without a harness).The Joque matches the feeldoe perfectly!!! I used them together and had a looot of fun!

Your girl-friend should put the feeldoe in first, then step into the harness and thread the dong through the front opening. On the Joque, the front opens like men's shorts.
I hope this helps! :) -
Absolutely! These two items work well together.

Thank you for viewing SpareParts joque harness – sex toy review page!
How did you find the positioning? Something I've found with harnesses is that sometimes they hang a little low...the dong doesn't stand at attention, so to speak.
I have a different harness (The Bionic by Aslan Leather), but i know what you mean Pria, positioning can be a bitch, esp. during action! Is this harness really worth the price though?
I want to hear about how it works in the shower/bath/hot tub/in a wet (water, not lube/fluid) situation. I mean, there aren't that many two-strap harnesses that can be soaked...
Follow up review perhaps?
Positioning is good- I know exactly what you mean about the balance.
I will absolutely check out the water play possibilities... though any rubber harness (I have two) is shower-safe too.
Hmmm...do we sell rubber harnesses? Also, I'd *assume* (could be wrong) that this is slightly more comfy?
So, this was my first harness, purchased mainly because it came in a size large enough to fit my hips comfortably. Without anything yet to compare it to, I do really love it, especially after I experimented some and learned to wear it very low, with the base of the dildo right over my clit. Here's my question -- have you tried using it yet for hard packing? I have, with a smaller dildo, and only in my house, as the bulge was very obvious and I am very new to this. I was playing in a pool this weekend, very much wishing I had it with me. Next time I'll have it, and will definitely share...
Yes, I have used it for hard packing a couple times now. It's always a little obvious, but it's hard packing. What I do with this harness (and why I thought it would work better for this) is put the cock in, then slide the base back and down so it's kind of sitting inside all that fabric. The head of the cock is sticking out, but at an upward angle that's easier to conceal with underwear/pants. I was in public like this and it was fairly unnoticeable (I think).
Definitely more comfortable than rubber harnesses, in my experience. I did just put it through its first wash, and am wondering if the fabric is going to form those irritating little balls... will update soon.
I've washed mine a couple times recently (it was a hot summer where I live and play), and it's held up really well. I still want to know how it works in a pool.
Do you know if the label can come off? Is it sort of similar to underwear labels, or is it a sticker-type label? The label on the front is a bit bothersome to me, too. I wanted to buy this one, but I'm still contemplating it because of the price. It looks great, though.
Sir--it can come off! It was bothering me too, so I took a seam ripper to it and it's fine now. I was bothered by that too.
Cool, that's what I was planning on doing. I usually do that for my underwear as well, so I figured that I could do the same for this harness.
Thanks for the hard packing tip-- I'll try it out when I get mine to review
