Minx - double strap harness by ASLAN Leather - review by M121212

The Minx is a gorgeously manufactured strap-on harness from Aslan Leather. It is meant to be used with strap-on compatible dildos for erotic play. The Minx comes with a 2" diameter harness ring that can hold dildos smaller than 2" diameter. If you want to strap on dildos of other sizes, I recommend getting some differnt O-ring sizes that will suit your needs. Pegging, lesbian play and erotic gender bending can all be happily accommodated by this harness.

Full disclosure: I bought this item based on its sex appeal more than its functionality (see more in my "Experience" section. That said, if you look into the quality of products that Aslan Leather produces you'll find that they perform as well as they are pretty.)

The leather is a lovely deep red colour. It isn't a bright red, but lighter than a wine red. It is quite true to the hue pictured on the product page. It feels soft and supple with confident black stitching securing one part to another. The straps themselves are comprised of leather that is folded over itself and adhered to make a perfect band. The "cock plate" and corset side are made of two pieces of leather sewn back to back. The craftsmanship is quite lovely, and all Aslan products come with a lifetime warranty. In case of mishap, this harness can be mailed back to the manufacturer for repairs.

As with any harness, a little adjustment is required before it can be worn comfortably. In the case of the Minx there are several places where adjustment can happen. There are two buckle fixtures where the harness rests on the side of the hips. There you will find a buckle fixture with 15 different holes on each side for the proper adjustment. There is also a functional corset lacing at the back that can be loosened and tightened as you see fit. Both of these together make Minx one of the most versatile harnesses you will find. Everyone from the slight of figure to the large and voluptuous will find a home in this harness. The fact that part of the adjustment is built into the aesthetic of the piece just adds another element of charm. After you've fitted the waist, there is the butt straps to contend with. They secure with the aid of two double D-rings. I wear this harness high above my buttocks and still find several inches of excess material on my butt straps. Straps on the derriere can also be adjusted to the left and right by about 5" on each side. That means you can wear the straps on either side of the buttocks or have them running down the width of your buns.

I'd recommend patience when it comes to fitting your Minx for the first time. It will take a bit of finessing to find the fit that work for you. Once you've found this fit, however, you just need to detach one of the belt buckles at the side to remove and replace this harness. After that the butt straps just need to be adjusted a little bit for the perfect fit to be attained.

Strap-on compatible dicks can be affixed to the Minx by way of the three snaps that hold the 0-ring in place. For my Lonestar I also found threading a cock in from the skin side of the harness to be successful. I have heard tell that double dongs can be accommodated by this harness, though I do not own one myself. When in place, the cock lines up nicely with the more sensitive areas of a woman's body to bring the most possible pleasure. (i.e. your synthetic cock is going to line up with your clit.) The Minx also comes with a detachable leather accessory that can aid in keeping a butt plug or dildo in place for the wearer while donning this harness. That was a sweet and unexpected bonus to this fabulous harness.

To care for the Minx, just remember to store it without any water in the vicinity. You can wipe the leather down with a damp soapy cloth, but be sure it is completely dried afterward. Other than that, feel free to wear this strap-on as a second skin and enjoy!

I bought the Minx primarily as a fetish object. I don't currently have a partner in my life who I actively penetrate, but the androgynous and gender bent has always turned me on. This purchase was a long time coming as it is one of the pricier strap-ons out there. But since this toy is for my own edification I figured it was worth indulging. The smell of the leather, the craftsmanship, the colour of the leather and the beautiful corset back all make me happy that I went the extra mile.

To be frank, one of the reasons I coveted the Minx was because I am a larger lady. My waist is 36" and my hips around are 44". Though I am by no means obese, my measurements do seem to fall out of the spectrum of what a Jaguar will accommodate. Upon wearing the Minx I now know that people many dimensions larger than myself will be able to comfortably wear the Minx. On the sides I am seven holes down from the largest buckle size while lacing the back tight so a sparse inch separates the two sides of the leather.
