I Dare You

Bare as you dare is a minimalist but high quality strap-on harness, with a price you really cannot beat. It consists of little more that a few nylon straps, two O-rings, and some studs, but it is sturdy and easy-to-use. First, you line up the straps so that two adjusters are forward and one is pointing down. Step into it, and tighten to your liking. There is one O-ring in front and in back, so that won't tell you which side is the front. In fact, I don't think it particularly matters, except for it is easier to adjust when the adjusters are forward, and more comfortable when the bottom adjuster is towards the back.

The side straps sit right above my hip bones, coming up in a V from my pubic bone. The middle strap is worn between the lips of my vulva, where it rubs my clit. Unfortunately, this means that my entire vulva is pretty inaccessible to my partner. Now, this would be great for serious gender-play or the stones among you, but to me this is an annoyance. However, I can easily pull the strap to one side, but it is slightly uncomfortable. Maybe I'm really a two-strap gal.

The harness is very compact and discreet when scrunched up, and I think anyone seeing it without a cock in it wouldn't quite know what it is. It can fit in your bag or purse quite easily, and can be carried around since its weight is negligible.

This is my first harness, and I am very, very pleased with it. I can wear it all day under my clothes if I want to, because it is very discreet, and slip a cock in when I'm ready to play. I have used it with my (male) partner, and we are both thrilled. I would recommend this harness to those with and without experience in strap-n play, because this harness is both high-quality and intuitive.

Bare As You Dare is made of nylon (the straps) and the O-rings are made of metal. Nylon is non-sterilizable, so don't share with others. Not that you'd want to! To wash, use soap and warm water, and hang to dry.

I was wary of nylon as a strap-on material. Now, I don't like using leather when there are other options, but leather harnesses are so sexy! But when I took this baby out of the box, I was pleased to find it glossy and elegant, and silky to the touch. This harness is no less sexy than a leather harness, and it's cruelty free at a fraction of the price.

Just a word of warning: the metal gets cold! You may want to warm it up between your hands, or I like to place is on the radiator for a couple seconds before use.

I'm pretty sure this harness is relatively water-proof. It would work fine in the shower, but I might not bring it in a pool or hot tub (if you're lucky enough to have one all to yourself). If it gets wet, make sure to dry it out afterwards, but I don't think it'll be damaged.

This harness is quite well made, especially for the tiny price tag. It feels sturdy when it's on, and the O-ring, attached by loops onto three straps, definitely does not want to budge. The adjustment devices (not really D-rings, more like the kind on bike helmets) grip the nylon very well, and have not slipped at all in my experience.

I used this with the Leo cock, which just fits in very snugly. Leo is 1 5/8" in diameter, and I don't think you could go bigger than that with this harness. However, the O ring is really 1.5 inches, so I think it would accommodate cocks at least half an inch less in diameter.

Another feature of this harness which I just adore is that it is one of the only harnesses that can adjust to accommodate big beautiful women. The maximum hip size that the straps will reach is 54", which is much more than your average harness will do. I am sure this will fit almost any person, for the straps have a huge range of adjustment. I think it's impossible to be too small for this harness, and as I said before, it accommodates up to a pretty large person.

I find this harness as comfortable as thong underwear (you guys know individually how you feel about that), and I'm quite pleased with its performance. It comes on easily, adjusts easily, and comes off easily. I did have to struggle a bit to fit my cock in there, but that is because its diameter is larger than the O-ring. That shows you how versatile it really is!

When well-adjusted, this harness holds my cock very close to my pubic mound, which I find very stimulating. It holds the cock in place and presses the base to me so there is no flopping. I find it excellent for blowjobs and anal sex, no matter how rough it gets.

This harness actually came in pretty trashy packaging, with no instructions and a skinny, wind-blown, bikini-clad babe. I don't think one can store it in the plastic casing it came in. But the plastic and cardboard is recyclable, and the harness is so small it can be stored anywhere. The harness is pretty intuitive so the instructions were not particularly missed. If you really need them, you can refer to the top of my review.
