Purple Rain, Purple Rain

What can I say, I just love the look of this! I'd never used a harness before, but I was curious about them, since I've used so many other kinds of toys and gear. The look of this one definitely caught my eye, and it's just and cute in person. If you're looking for a harness, for pegging, strap-on sex, or just to check one out and you have the money for it, this one has some serious visual appeal!

Use

This harness is meant for use with a dildo, or toy, with a flared base. It is ideal for pegging or strap-on sex. If you are looking to get into strap-on play, this harness is a fun, bright, sparkly way to get into it. If you want something for gender play, you might enjoy this. Personally, I had never used a harness, or even really seen one in real life. I was curious, so I got one just to check it out and have on hand. I have every other kind of toy and gear, so why not add a harness to the collection? So, I am a totally newbie to these things! I would say that it works for beginners, it's pretty easy to use and does not require any instruction really. I'm not sure what an "advanced" harness user (if there is even such a thing) might want in a harness, but regardless, I think that this one would be great for anyone. Another thing about this is that is claims to be waterproof, so you could use it in the shower or anywhere else you might want to.

Material

The material is vinyl, and it is very smooth all over. It's vegan, since it's vinyl (not leather), but it is made by Aslan Leather.

It came with a tag attached to the o-ring, but the tag had info on caring for Aslan Leather, specifically for leather, not vinyl. Though, I DO like that it says on this tag that it's guaranteed for life, if it breaks they will send you a replacement or repair it. That definitely makes it seems more worth it, especially since it's so pricey.


The harness had a faint vinyl smell when first taken out of the package, but that faded within a week and it was nothing bothersome. The material is fairly flexible, not stiff or difficult. It has metal parts (aluminum?), on the buckles and certain other spots. There is no info on what the metal parts are made of, so I can't be sure that they are nickel-free, or if they might bother a metal allergy. If you have a metal allergy, you may want to consider that.

Design / Craftsmanship

This is a double strap harness, or a "jock style harness", meaning that it has two straps in the back, instead of one up the middle in the back. To me, a g-string harness (one strap up the back) looks kind of awkward and a bit uncomfortable, so I am glad that this has two straps. Though, if you prefer g-string harnesses, this is only available in this style. This is not uncomfortable on my bum, or anywhere else. One fun thing about the double straps is the opening in between them. It leaves room for you to use a toy, or be stimulated, while stimulating your partner.


The straps and vinyl parts are thick, but not heavy. It is lightweight, kind of like wearing a belt or something, but bear in mind that a toy will add weight to it.

It comes with an o-ring, though I'm not sure what material the o-ring is. It's black, and rubbery, and it doesn't not seem to impact silicone toys.




The o-ring is interchangeable, it's locked in there with a snap though. You pop open the snap that keep it in place, and you can put in a different one. O-rings of other sizes and materials are available on EF, so if you need others, you'll have to order them. It only comes with that one ring. That ring will accommodate toys with a 1 3/4" diameter. However, the hole in the harness itself won't fit toys bigger than that.

There are some seams along the inside of some of the straps, but I don't really see how those would get in the way of anything. Again, if it does, it said on the tag that Aslan Leather would repair or replace any damages.

    • Stylish
    • Well made / sturdy

Size / Fit

All of the straps are very adjustable, given that they all have buckles.



It will fit hips up to 42", and at it's tightest, it could fit hips smaller than 28". I think that is a pretty fair size range. It sits low on me, because of how tight I have the thigh straps. For me, they are comfortable like that, but if I had them looser I could wear it higher on my hips. I have 38" hips and this fits comfortably, with plenty of room for adjusting. The adjustability is great, and if you have sudden weight loss or weight gain for any reason, you don't really need to worry about not being able to use your harness anymore. This is really easy to put on and adjust on your own, you don't need a partners help.

    • Will fit most body sizes and types

Performance

This harness is easy to use, and easy to wear. I had no difficulty putting it on, or taking it off. I did not notice it chafing when I wore it, and it is adjustable so it was very comfortable. It was too tight on my thigh or waist, it did not cut off circulation anywhere. This could be worn with nothing underneath, or with underwear, or over clothing even. Since it is vinyl, not fabric, it might stick to your skin a bit if things got really sweaty during use; I don't see it getting too uncomfortable though.



    • Comfortable during use
    • Easy to put on
    • Holds toys very well

Care and Maintenance

The vinyl, and the metal parts, all seem fairly easy to clean. And, since it's waterproof, that makes things even easier! It can be cleaned off with soap and water. This isn't terribly bulky, it can be folded up and stored away easily. If you want to keep things organized, you could store it with your flared-base toys, ready for use. It is fine if you get lube on this, water based or silicone (I'm not sure about oil based), it will clean off easily and won't effect the materials. I'm not sure about the metal parts, but you might want to take care to make sure they don't rust.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Packaging

This had no packaging, other than the plastic bag it came in.

It doesn't really need any, but there were no instructions or info included. Some info for first timers might be nice. Like, maybe how to put toys into the harness. Behind the o-ring? Or just through the hole in the harness, with the base against your body? Or, is that a matter of preference? Would one be better for maintaining the quality of the harness than the other? Also, info how to best care for vinyl, not leather, would be nice.

I think that they assume that since you're buying a harness, you must know everything about them already. Not everyone who buys a harness has previous used or experienced one! Granted, it seems pretty straight-forward, but a paper including some tips and material info would be nice.

Personal comments

I think the visual appeal of this harness is possibly the best part. I also love that Aslan Leather makes other harnesses similar to it. If you don't like purple, there is the Bionic harness, which is a deep blue glitter vinyl, and Wonder Woman, which is a red glitter vinyl harness. I am quite partial to glitter, and vinyl. I love the shiny look of vinyl. And, there's their Black Cat harness, which is just plain black vinyl, no glitter. Honestly, I think all of the above look amazing. I was tempted to get the Black Cat, since it's shiny, black, and pretty sexy looking. I am happy with this harness though, and I love the color of it. And I must say...the name! Very fun! I am a fan of Prince (or, the artist formerly known as) and that only adds to it for me. This is a harness that I think the wearer could feel pretty, sexy, and fun while wearing.
