Oh Doggie!

What a difference this strap makes to doggie style! What made it work for me was the angle it created while wearing the strap. I did not have to tire out my arms by holding myself up the whole time but did not lose the great position the strap created by leaning forward onto my elbows. This does put all the work onto the person holding you up with the straps but they get the benefit of setting the pace they want. They have more control in this position, being able to thrust deeper and stronger.

This product is great for any level! We had never used any version of straps before and found it took a couple tries to get the straps adjusted correctly for the person holding them. However, once you get situated and find the right strap length it becomes very easy and simple to maneuver. I would say it is good for advanced users as well because they may be able to use it for more creative positions. I do think the straps could be versatile and not only used in one specific way.

This feels like a well made product that can handle multiple body types. It is sturdy when under you and I was confident that it was going to hold my weight and not break even though it is very light weight and soft to the touch.

The handles are made of thin nylon weaved together with a plastic adjuster on each side. It is actually one continuous strap that is sewn across the belt (the part that goes under you) for extra support. The entire product is thirty six inches long and can be adjusted to accommodate all wrist sizes. The belt that holds you up is made of soft nylon padding and is roughly fifteen inches long by four inches wide. This is the measurement of the actual padded part. It is designed to be placed around your abdomen and hips. The strap is very easy to adjust to where it is comfortable on your body. With some slack from the partner holding it around you just slide the padding to a spot that is comfortable. The soft nylon does not dig into your body or leave marks or leave marks on your skin.

This product smells new when taken out of the box and for me it has kept that factory smell after a couple uses. It did not come with a cover or any storage. I do not find it hard to store because of its flexibility and soft material.

The doggie style straps are easy to use for the most part. It is simple enough getting the strap under the person on bottom but the one holding the straps may have some problems with the handles. You begin with laying the strap under the bottom partner with the soft padding side up and then lifting up on the handles. The partner on bottom can then position the pad where they feel most comfortable before the top partner fully grasps the handles and pulls the belt up until it is touching the bottom partner.

Now is the tricky part, the top partner has to find out if they like their hands just grabbing the handles or putting their wrists all the way through. You have to find which gives you the most control over the situation. It seems rolling the handles around your hands to get closer to the actual belt gives the best control. Once you get situated, the strap can be used for doggie style as well as a few other positions. It gives the wearer support if they get tired during a strenuous position. The strap holder receives the power to go harder and deeper with consistent movement.

The packaging was a basic cardboard box the size of a hard cover book. It is not very discreet because of the couple on the front of the box using the doggie strap! You could store the strap in the box but it will be bigger than the actual strap and not discreet at all.

When I opened the box the strap is only covered with a plastic bag that can be thrown away. There were no instructions or any other information inside the package.

There is no tag with care instructions on the strap. I would treat washing this product like washing a bra, easy cycle on the washing machine and hang dry or do a hand wash with a mild soap. I don't think you will have to do that many times if at all. We have not had to do anything but spot clean the strap so far after a couple uses.

After a use I fold it in half long ways twice and wrap the straps around it. I put it away with all our other toys, though I do keep it away from lube just in case there are any leaky bottles. The only other thing I would be careful of is getting it snagged on sharp items since it could create a nasty run in the soft nylon material.

We had fun with the doggie style straps and trying it out in a few different positions. It was easy to move from hands and knees to standing on my knees and holding onto the bed. It took some of the work out of holding onto the straps for my husband. He did not have to hold up my body but could still control thrusting with the straps. I believe there are more opportunities to explore with positions.

On our first attempt it was a little frustrating having to stop and re-adjust the strap lengths. Once the straps were right where my husband could hold on like he wanted, it worked very well! On about the third try we had it down and could fully enjoy the straps.

The product is very discreet. We have left it out on the floor and when company has came over they did not even notice or have thought it was something different. The completely black color does not draw any extra attention and someone even told us they thought it was only a back brace!
