Strap on harness accessories

What size O-ring do I need for my dildos?

O-ring size should match the base diameter of the dildo you want to use, not its widest point. Measure across the base of your toy in inches or centimetres and choose an O-ring that is the same size or very slightly smaller. A snug fit keeps the toy stable during use. Many harness accessories come in sets with multiple ring sizes so you can switch between different toys without buying separate rings each time.

Are these accessories suitable for beginners to strap-on play?

Yes. Accessories like padded liners and correctly sized O-rings are actually particularly helpful for beginners because they improve comfort and reduce the fidgeting that comes with an ill-fitting setup. Start with the basics: a secure O-ring sized to your chosen toy and a soft padded liner if your harness rubs. Once you are comfortable with the fundamentals, you can explore modular attachments or hardware upgrades.

What materials should I look for to keep things body-safe?

For any part of an accessory that sits against skin, prioritise smooth, non-porous materials. Good options include:

• Medical-grade or body-safe silicone for padded inserts and liners
• Finished vegan leather that has no rough edges or exposed staples
• Stainless steel for O-rings and buckle hardware, as it is non-reactive and easy to sanitise

Avoid accessories with uncoated rough metal near the body, heavily synthetic fabrics that cannot be cleaned thoroughly, or any component that shows signs of flaking or peeling coating.

How do I clean and care for harness accessories?

Cleaning method depends on material. Stainless steel O-rings and hardware can be wiped with a toy cleaner or a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol, then dried thoroughly to prevent any surface oxidation. Padded liners and fabric components are generally spot-clean only using mild soap and warm water; avoid submerging them or machine washing unless the product instructions specifically say it is safe. Allow everything to air dry completely before storing. Keep accessories away from direct sunlight and extreme heat to preserve the integrity of the materials over time.
