The Three Strap-On Types Explained
Harness strap-on: A wearable harness β typically adjustable straps around the hips β with an O-ring mount that holds a compatible dildo at the pelvis. The wearer penetrates a partner using the secured dildo. Most harnesses accept interchangeable dildos of different sizes. The wearer receives no direct stimulation from the dildo itself. Best for: lesbian and queer couples, pegging, trans and non-binary individuals, anyone who wants precise dildo positioning with maximum thrust control.
Strapless strap-on: A double-ended toy with a bulbous internal end the wearer inserts vaginally for grip and stimulation, and a shaft that protrudes for penetrating a partner. No harness or straps β held in place by the wearer's internal muscles. Both partners receive stimulation simultaneously. Requires more practice than harness strap-ons. Best for: female-female couples wanting simultaneous internal stimulation, couples who find harnesses uncomfortable.
Hollow strap-on: A wearable hollow shell shaped like a penis that fits over an existing penis or directly against the body without an erection. Used primarily for erectile dysfunction β when a partner cannot achieve or maintain an erection, the hollow strap-on allows penetrative sex to continue. Also used for size enhancement. Best for: couples managing ED, couples wanting significant size increase.
Who Uses Strap-Ons in Australia and Why
- Lesbian and female-female couples β the primary harness strap-on buyer. A harness strap-on allows one partner to penetrate the other with a dildo in any position.
- Couples exploring pegging β female-to-male anal penetration using a strap-on. One of the fastest growing categories in couples' adult retail globally. Any harness strap-on with a body-safe dildo works for pegging.
- Trans and non-binary individuals β strap-ons provide gender-affirming penetrative capability. The range below supports all body types and identities without gendered assumptions.
- Couples managing erectile dysfunction β hollow strap-ons allow couples to maintain penetrative intimacy when ED makes natural erection unreliable. Many couples don't know hollow strap-ons exist as a solution.
- Couples wanting size enhancement β hollow strap-ons and vibrating harness sets add length and girth during partnered sex.
Harness Strap-Ons β Complete Sets
A harness strap-on is the most versatile format β it works for any couple configuration, accepts different dildo sizes via the O-ring mount, and gives the most precise thrust control of any strap-on type. The harness secures the dildo at the pelvis regardless of body type or anatomy.
Harnesses Without Dildos β For Existing Dildo Owners
If you already own a compatible dildo with a flared base, buying a harness alone is the most cost-effective way to start harness strap-on play. All harnesses below are universal O-ring compatible. Sportsheets is one of Australia's most recommended harness brands for comfort, adjustability, and durability.
Strapless Strap-Ons β Hands-Free Couples Play
Strapless strap-ons are the most intimate strap-on format β no harness, no straps. The internal bulb end is inserted by the penetrating partner for grip and stimulation, while the external shaft penetrates the receiving partner. Both partners receive stimulation simultaneously, which no harness strap-on provides.
Key skill required: Strapless strap-ons need more practice than harness strap-ons. The internal grip relies on PC (pelvic floor) muscle strength β Kegel exercises help significantly. First-time users should expect occasional repositioning until the technique is established. This is normal and improves quickly with practice.
Hollow Strap-Ons β For Erectile Dysfunction & Size Enhancement
Hollow strap-ons are the most underutilised category in strap-on play β and the one that makes the most meaningful difference to couples managing erectile dysfunction. A hollow strap-on fits over an existing penis or directly against the body without an erection, allowing penetrative sex to continue regardless of erectile function.
The critical distinction: Extension sleeves fit over an existing erection to add length and girth. Hollow strap-ons fit without requiring an erection β the harness holds the hollow shell in position. This is what makes hollow strap-ons effective for ED use specifically. Apply water-based lubricant to both the interior hollow (for the wearer) and the exterior (for the receiving partner) β the interior application is often forgotten.
Pegging β Strap-Ons for Anal Play
Pegging is female-to-male anal penetration using a strap-on β one of the fastest growing couples' practices in Australia. The prostate gland is most effectively stimulated through anal penetration at 5β8 cm depth. Pegging allows a partner to stimulate the prostate directly in ways that no other couples' practice achieves.
The key distinction for pegging strap-ons: start significantly smaller than you think necessary. The anal canal requires more preparation, more lubricant, and more time than vaginal penetration. Use thick water-based lubricant generously, go slowly, and read the prostate and anal play guide for full preparation guidance.

Lubricant Guide for Strap-On Play
Harness and strapless with silicone dildos: Water-based lubricant only. Silicone lubricant degrades silicone dildo material over time. Apply generously to the dildo before every use and reapply during longer sessions.
Hollow strap-ons: Apply water-based lubricant to both the interior hollow (for the wearer) and the exterior (for the receiving partner). The interior application is often forgotten and significantly affects comfort.
Pegging and anal strap-on play: Use significantly more lubricant than you think necessary β the anal canal produces no natural lubrication. Thick water-based formulas last longer during anal play than thinner formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a harness, strapless, and hollow strap-on?
A harness strap-on uses adjustable straps to hold a dildo at the pelvis β most versatile, works for any couple, accepts different sizes. A strapless strap-on has no harness β the wearer holds it internally using muscle grip, and both partners receive stimulation simultaneously. A hollow strap-on is a wearable shell that fits without an erection, used primarily for erectile dysfunction or size enhancement.
What is the best first strap-on for lesbian couples in Australia?
The Adam & Eve Strap-On Playset at $84.95 β three interchangeable dildo sizes in one purchase allows size progression across sessions without additional purchases. Alternatively, the Sex & Mischief Adjustable Kit at $71.95 for a silicone dildo at a lower entry price.
What is pegging and what strap-on should I use?
Pegging is female-to-male anal penetration using a strap-on. The Sex & Mischief Adjustable Kit at $71.95 is a solid entry point β silicone dildo included, fully adjustable, appropriate size. Use generous thick water-based lubricant and read the anal guide for preparation guidance.
Can a hollow strap-on help with erectile dysfunction?
Yes β hollow strap-ons allow penetrative sex to continue without requiring an erection. The hollow shell fits over the penis or directly against the body and is held by the harness, allowing full penetration regardless of erectile function. The Erection Assistant 2 Vibrating Hollow at $86.95 is a strong first choice β vibration stimulates both partners simultaneously.
Do strapless strap-ons work without practice?
They require practice to maintain positioning. The internal bulb relies on PC muscle grip β Kegel exercises help significantly. First-time users should expect some repositioning during initial sessions; this improves quickly. The Fun Factory SHARE LITE at $62.95 is a great entry strapless. For remote control functionality, the Passion Play strapless at $98.95 or VibraTwin at $120.95 add hands-free partner control.
