Dual strap harness set - harness and dildo set discontinued by Spartacus - review by JennWinter

First let me start off with the pros. The straps are very durable and will stay in place during all levels of play. This is a huge plus if you are very thin or if you are plus size since harnesses like this tend to be created for an "average" size with any adjustments causing either a fit that is too loose or too tight. The jelly dong that comes with the set is also durable and is not cheap by any standards. In fact, I have paid a lot more for various styles of dildos that "flaked" or just did not hold up once they were placed in a harness. This harness also does not have the air pocket issue at the base of the dildo like some other beginner and dual strap harnesses tend to have. For the price it is a decent starter but it does have its fair share of problems.

Now for the cons of the dual harness set. The width of the leather straps is not fitting for someone who is plus size or very small framed. If the person plans on wearing the harness for longer than 20 minutes and come on lets face it, sometimes 20 minutes is just getting started and nowhere near the big bang. That being said, the straps tend to cut into your flesh. This might be slightly irritating at first but after a few minutes it goes from a slight irritating feeling to a feeling of being cut and quartered. If you are a smaller frame and you have to tighten the straps too far you may have the same issue. This harness is really meant for a body frame around a size 9 to a size 12. If you are below that or above that then you are going to feel the wrath of the straps. They do not conform after time either. The leather is real leather but it is also made of some of the toughest stuff available. Though that may be good for durability it is bad for comfort levels over time.

The dildo is another problem with the harness. In certain play sessions, particularly with two people who are built differently (i.e. one larger than the other) the dildo sits a bit off from where it should be. For anal it is not only difficult to place properly but the angle is off to the point that you have to practically lay down to keep the dildo in place. Not comfortable and definitely not a turn on when you or your partner feels smothered. The rigidness of the dildo becomes an issue as well. It is not the jelly style of dildo that allows for much flexibility which leaves your partner on the receiving end feeling pain and in some cases so much pain that the harness can not even be used. For the best example just imagine the dildo stiff as a board and angling like it is trying to come out by ripping its way up. Not comfortable at all.

For couples who are roughly the same size and fall into the "average size" category then this toy works out well. After a recent private party we found that if you are an average body size this toy is amazing but if you are just below or above the average body size then it's best to move on to a better harness with thicker straps and a more flexible dildo attachment.
