A strap-on harness is used to artificially attach a dildo to the front of another person's body. Both male-bodied people and female-bodied people can wear harnesses for various reasons. Usually, it's to penetrate another person with the dildo that's attached to their body. On rarer occasions, it's used for long-term wear to help mitigate the effects of body dysmorphia and help the wearer feel more like they have the body they belong in.

This harness was particularly designed to be worn by female-bodied people purely for sexual purposes. It doesn't have the openings required to be comfortable for the penis of a male-bodied wearer. The material isn't breathable enough for day-long wear for non-sexual purposes.

As a between-the-legs style harness, this harness may make it difficult to wear while receiving penetration or pleasure of any sort. The faux leather strap that runs between the legs is slim, however, so it's possible to readjust and move things to do the side to enjoy penetration or play. However, a jock-strap-style harness (the straps that run underneath the butt cheeks on both sides) would lend itself better to receiving penetration while wearing a harness.

With the faux leather material, this harness is not breathable enough to be worn for more than a single session at about an hour in length. It was not designed for packing purposes - but instead, for sexual purposes. It will likely become irritating with bodily oils and sweat if worn for hours at a time.

The faux leather and metal are not water-safe. Play with your new harness outside of the water.

The Wide Back Vegan Harness is made from non-animal materials which include PU faux leather alongside the iron pieces throughout the design. The faux leather is nice, softened, and shiny, and it doesn't scratch up against the skin. In fact, none of the parts of the harness are particularly scratchy - even the strap that runs between the legs is softened on the edges for a more comfortable wearing experience.

The lace-up corset design on the back of the harness is laced up with a thick, softened nylon string strand. This string can be felt on the interior side of the harness and along the back during wear, but it doesn't cause any discomfort or annoyance. The ends of the nylon string are burned for unraveling purposes, so the nylon string is unlikely to unravel.

The harness' material is entirely smooth as well. There is no texture to be found. Along with some edges, the manufacturers sewed another layer of the faux leather material to the original layer for purposes of loops or reinforcement, but outside of those spots, there are no edges or non-smooth layering to be found.

The harness has no scent to it - even straight out of the packaging.

Designed as a panty-style harness, this strap-on harness has a single strap that runs between the legs as well as the two straps that hug the hips. The harness uses a dual D-ring system to adjust the length and tightness of the harness on both of the hips and the back of the harness for the between-the-legs strap.

The harness is mostly reinforced with stitching. There are very few rivets or other metal pieces to hold the harness together. Instead, the manufacturer has used multiple lines of stitching along the reinforced areas to keep the harness together.

Over time, the harness threading will likely start to break apart - especially with heavy use or above-average-sized bodies or anything else that stretches the harness to its limit. However, it will stay together quite well for a decent amount of use. Just don't expect it to be a lifelong partner.

While the harness comes with two metal O-rings, any-sized O-ring can be used in this harness as they are fully interchangeable. If you require a smaller or larger O-ring, feel free to substitute that in.

The Wide Back Vegan Harness will likely require you to make many of your fitting modifications before you wear the harness. As most of the adjustment areas are in more difficult-to-reach areas (including on the back-most point of the harness as well as on the towards-the-back sides of the harness), this may be harder to adjust while wearing the harness depending upon your flexibility. You may need to slip off the harness, tighten or loosen, and then put the harness back on. Because of the faux leather design of this harness and it's porous design, however, this harness is likely a one-person harness anyway, so once you've set up the harness for your body type, you shouldn't have to make many more modifications.

As mentioned previously, the harness's adjustment areas are in hard-to-reach places on the not-front sides of the harness. However, the adjustment buckles themselves are easy to operate. With the dual D-ring system, just a small tug on the straps will help the harness tighten up. As mentioned before, though, it may be difficult to make minor adjustments or get to the right angle to make these adjustments.

Made from the faux leather material, this strap-on harness was not designed for long-term wear. It can be worn comfortably for a play session, but it may become irritating if attempting to wear it for an entire day.

Designed for holding strap-on toys, the Wide Back Vegan Harness performs quite well. It's simple to step into the harness and get it on and adjusted. Once on, the harness stays about where it was put. It holds the dildo against the harness and assuming you have the between-the-thighs strap tightened as far as it will tight, it does a good job of keeping the toy pressed up against the body - even during thrusting.

This harness hits particularly high on the abdomen, but of course, this will depend on your personal anatomy and how you choose to wear the harness. For those that want their strap-on toy to be lower to the ground, it may require a bit of adjustment to the harness' standard design by adjusting the length of the various straps on the harness.

The harness does include the two metal O-rings as shown on the product photos. The strap-in design is also large enough to allow you to strap-in both metal rings as shown as well. This will likely be unnecessary, and you should just remove the O-ring that doesn't best fit your dildo.

Removing the O-rings is particularly simple. Each one of the three attachment points just uses a simple button-snap system. Slide the O-ring onto the faux leather strap and snap the button in place. This will hold the O-ring against the harness.

Be aware that this harness was not designed to hold particularly heavy or substantial toys. It will likely work great for most average strap-on toys, but if you're looking to strap-on the 14" dildo that weighs three pounds, the faux leather material tends to stretch and pull away from the body too much to make this a plausible harness.

Like many other types of leather and faux leathers, you want to take good care of your material by avoiding harsh soaps and ensuring this doesn't get completely submerged in liquids. If any messes end up on the harness, a gentle wiping down with a wet washcloth will get rid of the mess. For more intense messes, adding a bit of soap and using the wet washcloth and then thoroughly cleaning away the soap will be the best course of action.

Because of the porous material and the fact that this runs between the legs, this harness should be considered "fluid-bonded," and only shared with people whom you are comfortable with their STI status. This could be slightly mitigated if this harness was only worn above clothing, but be aware that the material was never designed to be entirely and easily sterilized.

To store the harness, just fold it up and place it in a discreet, dry area away from direct sunlight. Judging by the material, I would guess that this material's color would begin to fade if kept in direct sunlight for a long time.

The Wide Back Vegan Harness comes packaged in a thin cardboard box. This box could be suitable for storage, but with the thin material, ensure that you don't rest heavy objects on the top of the box.

The front of the box pictures two women each wearing only the harness and a bra while embracing one another. The box shows multiple diagrams of the harness itself, but nowhere on the package does it give any indication of the body sizes the harness would fit. EdenFantasys also does not have this information, and the harness is presented as "one size fits most."

I personally hate the idea of "one size fits most" - particularly with a strap-on harness. Why?

Well:

A) To make things fit "most," that requires a lot of excess material and straps and a larger design all-around. While this might work well for the larger-bodied people, it means that smaller-bodied people are left with a harness that has excess material in random spots including extra straps. In a harness design like this, it might also mean that the corset back design is either too long or too short depending on the body type.

B) If you fall outside the standard designations of "most," you're left wondering whether this harness will fit. What is "most"? Some manufacturers consider it to be a hip size of up to 42". The hip measurement for a lot of plus-size clothing companies starts at 42". That means that every plus-size body is outside the realm of "most." Aside from being insulting, it's just hard to shop for.

The manufacturer designed the harness to be a specific measurement. There's no reason that those measurements couldn't have been included. It's not like fabric is going to materialize out of nowhere, so every harness should have the exact same measurements.
