With an insertable shaft length of 6.5 inches, youโre assured of deep penetration, with the 4.5-inch girth giving you a feeling of fullness the entire time.

Itโs easy to get addicted to strapless strap-ons, especially if the ones youโre using are the right size for you and your partner(s). And, yes, you can own as many of them as you like. But first, letโs ensure that you choose right when buying one. There are a number of things you need to think about when buying the strapless strap-on dildo variety, which we address below.
How strapless strap-ons can improve your sexual life
Adding a strapless strap-on to your play can make your sex life more exciting.
Incorporating a strap-on to your sex life can increase intimacy between you and your partner and enable you to talk more openly about your sexual needs and fantasies.
Strapless strap-ons offer endless erotic possibilities, which can save your sex life if youโre teetering on the ordinary, same-old sex routine. They are a practical way to introduce new sex moves and play, and will quickly reset your sex life back to what it was when you first got together with your partner.
Transgender individuals also find joyful to use an artificial penis in strapless strap-ons to please their lovers and keep some of the fun to themselves.
Adding a strapless strap-on makes it possible for your partner to have two penises (one natural, one artificial), making it possible to enjoy double penetration from your man if you want.
With a strapless strap-on, you can enjoy pegging your man, an experience that can be very fulfilling for you both.
A strapless strap-on frees your hands, allowing you to use hands to caress and stimulate yourself and your partner in different places even as you play with the strap-on.
How to use strapless dildo
Strapless strap-ons are designed to be worn in vaginal openings and are used to penetrate other women and peg men. To use the strapless strap-on dildo, insert the bulbous end into your vagina, and then penetrate partner using the penis-like shaft.
These types of dildos are designed to be held in place by the wearerโs body, and therefore donโt have to be strapped on to the body. However, they can be used with a harness (they are designed to work with a harness), so you can always add one if you find it hard to use them. This happens a lot when youโre just starting to use strapless dildos and when using them to penetrate a partner anally.
Before using the strapless strap-on for anal penetration, ensure that it flares at the base so thereโs no risk of the dildo getting yanked up your partnerโs butt and hurting your insides. That can happen because the sphincter muscles in the ass are powerful enough to pull the toy inward, and can easily pull it out of your vagina. When this happens and the base is flared, the dildo cannot make its way past the anus, and so itโs safe. Youโll only be disappointed that your partnerโs muscles pulled the strap-on out of your body just when the pleasure was building up.
Features to consider while buying the best strapless dildo
Below are the features you need to consider when buying a strapless strap-on.
Length
The insertable shaft length refers to the portion of the shaft that goes inside the vagina or anal passage. A longer shaft allows you to enjoy deep penetration, while a short one limits your enjoyment to shallow and mid-depth penetration. The insertable length of the bulbous end of the strap-on (the pony length) determines how deep you can insert this second, shorter end. The deeper it penetrates the wearer, the more stimulation theyโll enjoy even as they penetrate their partner.
Insert type
For easy insertion, strapless strap-ons are smooth on both heads. The shorter end is bulbous, a shape that allows the vagina to hold it so it doesnโt slip out during use. The shaft head may be pronounced or not, or it may taper slightly, as in the Happy Rabbit Rechargeable Vibrating Strapless Strap-On, and this makes insertion smooth.
Circumference
The circumference indicated for the strap-on refers to the widest part of the shaft. The girth of strapless strap-on dildos can be as small as 3 inches or as wide as 4.5 inches. Knowing how wide the dildo is helps you decide whether it will be too narrow or too big for you. If you are new to strap-ons, choose one that has a smaller circumference so youโre comfortable using it. Then you can move to wider strap-ons as you become more accustomed to them.
Material
Strapless strap-ons are generally made from materials like silicone, glass, stainless steel, and ABS plastic. The materials used to make these dildos are chosen for their non-porous surface, durability, ease of cleaning, and comfort. Increasingly, however, more and more are being made from silicone, a material preferred for its hypoallergenic quality and ease of maintenance. In fact, all the dildos on our list are made from silicone, and some, like Fun Factory Share, are specifically made from medical-grade silicone.
Design
Strapless strap-on dildos are made in an L-shaped design to allow for double penetration. The shorter part of the strap-on goes inside the wearer, while the longer part goes inside the receiver. Some are curved in a realistic design that makes them life-like models of the phallus. These have a realistic head which is pronounced like the head of a real penis. They may also have a textured shaft, complete with veins and ridge-like bumps that mimic the look of a penis. Others have an appendage (commonly referred to as rabbit ears) that stimulates the clitoris for added excitement.
Allergen-free
Itโs important to choose a strap-on that is allergen-free, especially if you plan to use it with partners, some of who may be allergic to latex. To ensure safety, choose ones made from silicone or glass or stainless steel, which are free of chemicals. With these, you never have to worry that you or anyone else you share them with could react to them.
Prices
Strapless strap-ons, like other dildos, are not exactly cheap. They can cost as much as $150, even higher. On average, though, they range in price between $50 and $110. The price is determined by the quality of materials used to make them, and whether the strap-on has additional features like a built-in vibrator or rabbit ears.
Vibration option
Some strapless strap-ons come with a vibration option that allows both the wearer and the receiver to experience increased stimulation. Happy Rabbit Rechargeable Vibrating Strapless Strap-On and Tracey Cox Supersex are good examples of such strap-ons. Usually, they will have vibration settings on both ends of the dildo. But even where the vibration is built-into the shorter end, the sensations often travel down the shaft and can be felt by the receiver. Choose one that is remote controlled so either of you can adjust the settings without stopping what youโre doing first.
You should clean your strapless strap-on after every use. Use mild hand-soap and water to do this. Any soap that is gentle enough for your hands is gentle enough or your dildo โ doesnโt matter the brand. You can also use a toy cleaner as this is specifically formulated for sex toys and will be gentle on your strapless strap-on. If youโre sharing the dildo or using it from the vagina to the anus, it is important to disinfect it by boiling it (for a few minutes). This will get rid of any bacteria that could be transferred from person to person or hole to hole. You should also boil your dildos occasionally, even if youโre not sharing them, just to make sure there are no lingering pathogens on its surface.
Choose a strap-on in a comfortable size to begin with. A shorter shaft length and pony length and smaller circumference will be more comfortable for a beginner than a huge strap-on. If you end up with a large double strap-on, insert it slowly bit by bit as you gauge how comfortable the increasing length is. Stop if it begins to feel uncomfortable. This applies both for solo play and when with a partner. As you get used to the strap-on, youโll be able to take in more length and even switch to a bigger dildo. Additionally, choose a flexible model so you can adjust the angles accordingly for greater comfort and stimulation. Some strap-ons are firm, but they are adjustable, so check that.
The best strapless dildos for anal use have a balance between size and functionality. Most importantly, the dildo should be comfortable for both the giver and the receiver. Itโs especially important to ensure that it is big enough to settle inside the wearerโs vagina or anus without slipping out. If the bulbous end is too narrow, the strap-on may keep slipping out, inevitably spoiling the experience for both of you. Secondly, check that it will stimulate the prostate if youโll be using it on a male partner. This depends entirely on the design, so pick a strapless designed for pegging and which exerts pressure on the prostate of the partner being pegged.
Our Verdict
The Happy Rabbit Rechargeable Vibrating Strapless Strap-On is our Editorโs Choice, taking first position for its ability to offer both internal and external stimulation. We like the rabbit ears, the long pony, and the wide range of vibration settings. We also like that it has a travel lock and you can recharge it via USB.
In second position is Fun Factory Share, which we like because of its long shaft and realistic head. Some of the other features that stood out for us were its smooth and firm mold; the shape, including a raised base that tickles the outside of the vagina and the perineum; and its waterproof design.
Third on our best strapless strap-on list is Lifelike Lover Luxe, which stands out for its long, veiny shaft and protruding, glans-like head. We like how easy it is to adjust the angle of the dildo and how it stays put and doesnโt slide out when you insert it.
