Vibrating velvet harness - double strap by Sportsheets - review by bunky

I've had this harness for over a year now and it's about time that I gave it a review. At the time I was looking for something that would replace my beginner buy, Jill Kelly's jel-lee strap-on with harness. I didn't mind what it would cost so much, as long as it stayed firmly affixed, didn't rub against my clit (and therefore collect bacteria in the straps), and could handle different sized dildos. Upon seeing something extremely similar on some of the girls from Ultimate Surrender, I decided that the Double Strap Harness by Sportsheets was for me.

And it honestly does everything that I want it to! With that in mind, I recommend it for both beginning and advanced users.

The design is universal. I say this because the straps are adjustable from all angles, around both the thighs and the hips, so that you can make your own custom fit. We're pant size 10 and 12 in our household and there is a lot of spare strap hanging off the side, so I would venture to say that it would continue to fit woman who consider themselves up to size 18 or 20 (but that's just a rough guess).

Unlike other designs with only two or three snaps to hold the O-ring, this harness has snaps at the end of all four straps, making for a very secure hold on the O-ring, and therefore, your dildo. After all, the last thing you want if for your dildo to wobble or go off in one direction, while you go in another. Everything is secure and allows for (hands free) ultimate control.

Vibrator. Let's just get this part out of the way. The vibrator inside the velvet pouch is rather useless, but I also went into the purchase knowing that wasn't a selling point for me anyway. The vibrator rests against the pubic mound, nowhere near the clit, and therefore does nothing for me. However the vibrator by itself is nice and strong and I enjoyed using it separately.

With the velvet front pouch, the straps of the harness are fed through small slits within the velvet, keeping the entire thing from sliding or shifting. This is nice to leave on if you are unshaven, so that no hairs get caught or pinched during use. It also keeping the harness in its general shape, making it easier to step into (as thigh versus waist loops are more distinguishable).

Without the velvet front pouch, you are able to look down and essentially see a dildo sticking out from against your skin, feeling the pressure against your body directly, providing the illusion that you have your very own cock. Also without the velvet piece, I was able to use the double-ended Share in a standing position (which I wasn't able to do before, because it would slip out), using the O-rings and the harness to keep pressure on the Share so that it stayed in place.

The O-rings themselves are of course very useful; at least one of the different sizes that are provided fit our collection of dildos. So regardless of what we're in the mood for (thick, thin, long, or short), the rings all fit.

Though after a session of heavy oil, lube and wax play, the harness was in need of a good cleaning. This was simple enough, as all I had to do was throw it in the washing machine with my next load of dirty laundry and it came out clean again. The O-rings however get more regular cleaning to keep from accumulating any build up between O-ring and dildo. So it is, after every use, both dildo and O-ring get cleaned and then stored separately.

Overall, the double strap harness by Sportsheets is one of the most versatile, lasting, and economical sex toy/supply investments we've made. And have no desire or need to replace it!
