Universal love rider - adjustable double strap harness discontinued by Cal Exotics - review by Neotigress

This versatile and creature friendly harness, can be used for pegging, vaginal or anal penetration in a female relationship and if your creative and your anatomy allows it, if you're male you might be able to wear it for double penetration with your female partner, and lastly it can be used in gender play.

With the versatility of the design, you can wear it as intended with all the straps, or you can remove one and wear it as a g-string style harness and with the snaps at the o-ring you can change rings to your size or needs.

This toy is made from Phthalate Free PVC per the product description. The packaging doesn't actually specify the materials used.

This harness has a "Material safety rating" of 8.

From the safety description:

This feels on the outer surface, like a quality "pleather", the inside is lined with what feels like a black felt.

The box says that the ring is aluminum, but it looks and feels like stainless steel. The buckles also feel like a stainless steel and the snaps and rivets look like they are either stainless steal or aluminum.

This very well made simple harness is a great starting point for those who want to try out harness play without a huge investment.

This is the basic design, with a belt, and two short straps with snaps that hold the top of the o-ring in place and 2 long straps that attach at one end to the o-ring and then come through the back of the thighs around the bottom of the butt cheeks and connect with adjustable d-rings at the back of the waist belt.

On the tightest belt notches the waist is 28 inches around and at the loosest notches it will fit a 49 inch waist. I am 6 feet tall, and wear between a 16 and 18 tall women's pant. This fit me comfortably with extra room in all dimensions.

All of the sewn details are well assembled. The design is adjustable in all the places where sizing matters including allowing for different sized o-rings.

The nice thing about this harness is that you can take one of the leg straps off and wear it as a g-string harness if that is your preference.

The o-ring that comes with the harness has a 2.0 inch diameter, but the straps that hold the o-ring in place have snaps, so you can easily purchase different sized rings and swap them out for the size or material you want to use.

I have the Vamp and the Love Rider and both were loose in the o-ring provided with the toy. When I do my follow-up, review I hope to have tried it with smaller o-rings that are more secure to the sized dildos that I have.




The harness is lined with what feels like felt. It makes the surface touching your skin softer and less abrasive. But this is the one place that the material feels like it is less quality than the other materials, and while it hasn't pilled yet, from experience this does feel like with use it will pill. Additionally this material is a lint and pet hair magnet.

As mentioned in the design section, on the tightest belt notches the waist is 28 inches around and at the loosest notches it will fit a 49 inch waist. I am 6 feet tall, and wear between a 16 and 18 tall women's pant. This fit me comfortably with extra room in all dimensions.

This fit very well and except for minor pinching in that delicate spot betwixt my thigh and lady bits, this was very comfortable to wear during vigorous play.

I'm on the large side of things and this fit with lots of room to spare in both directions, both smaller and larger.

Due to the design and the ability to adjust all the straps this harness will fit a multitude of sizes and shapes.

Because of all the strap adjustments in the waist and legs, I was able to secure the actual harness, however, the o-ring was too large for either the Vamp or the Love Rider than I own. For this to be utterly secure in vigorous use, I need to purchase a smaller sized o-ring.

With gentle play this performed great and everything stayed in place. The minute it got wild or fast however, the base of the dildo flopped and slipped around in the o-ring.

The harness itself fit well and was comfortable everywhere except it did cut into my skin at the crease of my thigh and vulvar area in general. The strap was a little thick and didn't bend, so the edge was a bit unforgiving. I do believe, like a pair of shoes, that with more wear this will soften and shape to my curves and be more comfortable.

Because the o-ring was loose, I did not try the harness in g-string mode, as we needed the additional stability for our play.

This is a great first time harness and a great investment. If you are in the market for this type of play, then this is certainly worth trying out.

The outer/pleather side, is quite easy to care for with water and a damp cloth it wipes down nicely.

The inner soft, felt-like layer attracts hair and lint quite a bit, and can not be wiped down, which makes this something to be aware of when in use. If any fluids got on the inner surface it would probably wipe down with some effort, but it would leave the felt pilled and looking worse for wear.

When I used this, I was very careful about not getting any liquids on it, so I didn't have to deal with washing or ruining the inside surface.

As to storage, you can store it like any of your belts, tossed in a drawer, hung up by the strap, tucked into luggage. As for me, I do use the cardboard box it came in as it is a great size and easy to stack with other boxed toys.

This well-made harness comes in decidedly indiscreet packaging. A white card board box that proudly displays on the front, the harness with glossy ink on a clear plastic female-esque torso, and verbiage that follows:

"Universal Love Rider

The complete strap-on system accessory

Premium Ring Harness"

Then one side of the box repeats the above. The other side of the box repeats the following information in 5 languages:

-Premium, fully adjustable universal harness
-Aluminum ring fits most dongs
-Heavy duty hardware
-Comfortable soft lining
-Removable snaps
-Harness fits up to 49.5"

The back of the box repeats the front but uses arrows to point out the bullet pointed features listed on the side of the box.

Inside the box, the toy was wrapped in a heat sealed clear plastic bag.

The packaging is constructed so it folds flat and would recycle nicely.

The box is 8.5 inches tall (not including the built in hang tag)
4.0 inches wide
3.0 inches deep

Straight forward packaging that describes accurately what it inside .

Generally I don't save this type of packaging, however the harness and preferred dildo fit perfectly inside just right, so I do use this for my packaging of choice with this toy.

With the versatile design, great price point and sizing, this is a great start in your harness adventures. It's a good basic, just like the LBD (little black dress) in your closet.

The only thing that would make this a 5 star for me, rather than a 4 star is if it came with multiple o-rings with the harness. But this is an easy and inexpensive fix.

For me, honestly I'm not a fan of receiving anal. But my guy always asks to have access. So it is great fun to have the option to say, "sure hon, right after I take my turn with you". I love having the playing field leveled and the look on his face when I sport my vamp is utterly priceless.

Who knew he'd end up liking it so much?
