Sportsheets Red Lace Corsette Harness

If the idea of a strap-on harness feels more like gym equipment than something you'd want to wear, the Sportsheets Red Lace Corsette Harness changes the picture. It's cut like a piece of lingerie, with red chantilly lace over a satin-look front panel, yet underneath sits a proper four-way strap system and a choice of three O-rings. It holds a flared-base dildo securely and looks good doing it.

How this strap-on harness is built

The front is a corset-style panel trimmed with lacing and grommets, with the O-ring set into the centre. Two straps run around the waist and two around the thighs, and all four adjust independently. That jockstrap-style layout pulls the dildo base back against the pubic bone, which gives the wearer far more control than a single-strap belt. Sportsheets lists the regular size as fitting hips up to 60 inches. Because the lace covers the hardware, it looks finished from the front even when no toy is attached, so some people wear it as part of an outfit before the dildo goes in.

Choosing the right O-ring

Three interchangeable rings come with it: 1.5 in, 1.75 in and 2 in. Measure the shaft of your dildo just above the base. The ring should be a little narrower than the flared base, so the base can't pull through, but wide enough that the shaft passes without squeezing. If your toy is slim, use the 1.5 in ring; average shafts suit the 1.75 in; girthy toys need the 2 in. Swapping rings takes seconds, so you can try more than one dildo in an evening.

The hidden bullet channel

Behind the front panel there's an enclosed channel that takes a standard bullet vibrator, sold separately. With a bullet inside, the wearer feels vibration through the panel while their hands stay free. Switch the bullet on before you strap in, or choose a remote-controlled one so either partner can change the setting. Our bullet vibrators include plenty of slim options that fit a channel like this.

Getting a good fit

Put the dildo through the ring before you step into the harness; it's fiddly afterwards. Loosen all four straps, pull the harness up like underwear, then tighten the waist straps first and the thigh straps second. It should feel snug enough that the toy doesn't droop when you thrust, without the straps digging into your skin. A small amount of lube on the receiving partner, not on the harness, keeps things comfortable. Expect to readjust once or twice the first time; straps settle as the fabric warms up, and a quick tug on each buckle after a few minutes fixes most slipping.

Caring for lace and hardware

Take out the dildo, the O-ring and any bullet first. Hand-wash the harness in cool water with a gentle detergent, press the water out in a towel and lay it flat to dry so the lace keeps its shape. Wash the dildo separately according to its material.
