The SpareParts Joque harness has been ranted and raved about since it debuted, and most of the queers I know who fuck regularly with harnesses *love* it. I've tried it ... I was not quite as impressed. Mostly because I prefer the g-string one-strap style, but also because it was bulky and a bit unwieldy.

But lo and behold, SpareParts has come out with a new harness, just like the Joque but this time, a g-string one-strap style. So obviously I had to try it.

The material is the same as the original Joque, which is one of the best-designed and most versatile harnesses available. It's completely waterproof and can be used in the pool or in the shower, which also makes cleaning it completely simple: just toss it in the washing machine. Amazing.

It also fits hips from 20" to 50" wide, so it really will fit just about any body. The wide waist strap has elaborate folding velcro pieces that mean that it will be tight and snug on a wide range of hips. Or at least, that's what the documentation says. And while I did find that to be true, all the extra fabric, options, and pieces made it hard to get it to fit just right.

The g-string style is more comfortable than the jock strap style for me, but the excessive amount of fabric that makes this harness able to fit so many different sizes makes this harness really bulky between the legs. It didn't fit as tight and comfortable, as a second skin, as some of the other harnesses I've tried, and ultimately just wasn't quite the one for me.

Still, it's got some great features and I love that it's so easily washable. Once the straps and snaps are all in place, it can be very comfortable, but takes a lot of work to get it to fit just right. And after it's on, all the fabric is pretty bulky.
