I would say the best use for this harness is with a dildo; and it is fine for beginners, as long as they don't mind the extra 5 minutes it takes to put on. Since they are "boxer brief" style, they would work fairly well for gender bending play.

Made of cheap material, it started tearing at the seams after only a few uses. But, it is a water-resistant, soft and smooth, thin fabric. The elastic stretches out after a few uses, but the fabric shrinks in the wash.

It uses an O-ring held in place by snaps. The straps are durable and adjustable, but seem to keep sliding out of place gradually. The straps started to tear - as well as the fabric - after a few uses, and I had to sew it by hand due to the delicate nature of the fabric.

The legs were tight, but the waist wouldn't stay up and kept rolling or sliding down. The large was made for overall chubby women, as opposed to women with a waist and hips (which I have). The medium wouldn't fit me in the legs though.

Putting it on is like putting together IKEA furniture: confusing. Once it's on, it's comfortable, but the waist band wouldn't stay up. The snaps holding the O-ring in place kept coming loose, and the dildo and/or O-ring would be difficult to re-angle.

It is extremely easy to hand wash. I don't remember what the machine washing directions were because I cut out the tag for comfort... We store ours just in a toy bag, along with the dildos and such. The harness can be crumpled and stuffed into a space or folded up neatly.

There were no instructions provided and the packaging didn't tell you how to fix the straps. The only picture of it was on the cover of the box, and you had to guess where the straps went and how they fastened.

I would not buy this product again. It looked easy and comfortable, but was very complicated and shifted around easily. My biggest pet peeve is the snaps coming undone while the harness is being used.
