Love Rider Hot Pink Strap-On Knickers with Vibrator Pocket

I hate wearing the strap-on strap and thought this would be easier and more attractive. It's true. They're well-made and easy to use.

I'm just not cut out for strap-on action. I would say that this held my dildo as well as the strap/ belt thing I used to have. And looks much nicer. I have a hot-pink dildo that happens to fit just perfectly. Be aware that the O-ring isn't huge - you will need a realistic-to-modest size dildo to fit through the ring.

If you're a fan of performing strap-on then you may love this. I'm not a fan so this is languishing in my drawers.

I got sent this item to review by Lovehoney. I was very excited about receiving it, but also very nervous, as my OH and I have been interested in trying pegging, but I've never found the courage to do so. Being sent this strap on felt kind of like fate!

The first, and most obvious, positive about this product is how much better it looks than most harnesses. It's made of a nice material that is comfy while wearing it and you could just use them as sexy knickers if you wanted! I thought it might be less intimidating having my OH wearing these instead of a fully fledge harness.

However, we hit problems almost immediately. My favourite dildo is a realistic one, complete with testicles and a fair bit of girth. It lists its O-ring size at 1.75", the same as the max this strap-on claims to take. The problem was, it took an extraordinary amount of effort to get the dildo in. I definitely see why most harnesses have interchangeable O-rings rather than a single stretchy one and think that's something this item could have used.

We also found that because, as mentioned, this particular dildo is quite girthy. It started pulling down the front of the knickers and eventually they started sliding off my OH. The problem was that the elastic wasn't strong enough to hold it in place. The knickers fit her perfectly but the material just had too much give to it and, in the end, we had to abandon the use of my favourite dildo. :(

So we swapped to a little slimline one. This one worked a lot better and the knickers stayed on my OH where they should be. There was still a bit of give in the front while she was thrusting, but for the most part everything went smoothly. My OH greatly enjoyed the little pocket for a vibrator to slip into (not included) and, although it got off to a rocky start, the experience was pleasurable.

Honestly, though, I was disappointed with the product. Like so many other people, I was hoping for a sexy alternative to strap on harnesses, but, for me, this isn't it purely because of the design of the dildos I like. This item will be great if you wanted to use small, slimline dildos with no testicles. If you want to use anything with any kind of girth, with testicles, or above about 1.5" O-ring, you're better off looking elsewhere.

For a long time I wanted to try a knickers-style strap-on. Even though I like the look of strap on harnesses, they all seemed too expensive. When I saw the Love Rider, the price seemed reasonable, so I thought I'd try it.

It is really pretty and the material is soft. It was a bit smaller on the back than I'd like, but for someone who likes this type of underwear it's fine. It looked really good on, but it's not very practical.

The O-ring is really small, so I could only put on my smallest dildos. Also, after a while it cannot support the dildo while moving and it tends to slip. It would be nice if it had a better hold on the waist. It really is only for light use and with very small dildos, so I would suggest it only for people who want it for light play.

Overall, I think it's better to spend some more money for a knickers strap-on that can hold on for harder play, or use classic harnesses.
