These handmade leather harnesses are a swoon-worthy fusion of style and craft. The swirling vines and other illustration details are screen printed by hand, and give each of these pieces its own unique character. The generously curving back piece is both soft and sturdy, providing extra stability where you need it. The slender leg straps are finely stitched with finished ends, and include plenty of holes to help you adjust to your ideal fit. Whether you identify as an art nouveau cowboy, a mermaid queen or just a sexy aesthete with a penchant for pegging, you've got a good chance of finding true love with one of these beautiful harnesses.

Materials: nickel-plated steel, brass, top grain American Cowhide, water based dye

Manufacturer: Project TransAction

Country of Origin: US - Made in Boston, Massachusetts

Manufacturer Warranty: If your harness breaks during typical wear, you can send it back for repair or replacement at Project TransAction's discretion. 

Care/Cleaning

Leather products are porous, meaning they cannot be completely sterilized and they will absorb water, so when cleaning it is best to use as little water as possible. Only use soaps specifically made for cleaning leather, like saddle soap or specialty leather wipes. Follow cleaning instructions of whichever leather cleaner you choose, then using a dry towel pat dry until all excess moisture has been absorbed.

Standard hand soaps or dish soaps can damage dyed leather and/or dry out leather leading to cracks or fraying. Oils in lubricants or soaps can stain leathers and should be avoided.

Over time leather conditioners may be necessary to keep leathers from cracking or wearing out, especially around buckles or other metal hardware.

The colorful, matte-finish shine of the Electra's hard plastic exterior may be beautifully showy, but that's not all it has going for it. Powered by two AAA batteries, this toy's feisty motor packs a considerable amount of power into its compact frame. Simply press the button on its base to cycle through three speeds of steady vibration, ranging from gentle to strong, and two deliciously varied patterns of vibration. The Electra's completely smooth and very slim profile also make it an excellent vaginal dilator or therapeutic aid for anyone working to build comfort with penetration.

Care/Cleaning

This product is made of ABS plastic and has electronic components.

ABS Plastic is simple to care for and easy to clean. It’s a hypoallergenic, non-porous material that won’t break down or leach chemicals into the body over time. ABS Plastic toys that vibrate can easily be cleaned with hot water and a body-friendly soap before and after each use, just be careful to avoid getting water in the battery chamber or charging opening. Using a washcloth may be easier than running water directly from a faucet onto a toy. If you want to sterilize your ABS hard plastic toy mix a solution of 1 part bleach 9 parts water and spray, wipe, or dip the toy into the solution and let stand for 5 minutes then rinse thoroughly.

ABS Plastic is compatible with any kind of lubricant.

If you want to share your hard plastic toy, we recommend cleaning between bodies or orifices, or using condoms as needed.

If your toy is battery operated, rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Customer feedback suggests that they are more likely to corrode, leak, explode, and ruin perfectly happy sex toys. We recommend removing the batteries from a toy during cleaning and between uses.

PLEASURE WORKS

Pleasure Works, nominated as the 2013 New Pleasure Company of the Year by Xbiz, is dedicated to making smart, simple, well packaged and affordable sex toys. Operated by the folks over at Good Vibrations, this start-up operation has benefited greatly from the expertise gained through decades of conversations with real customers about real sex toys. These toys are practical and purposeful. We haven’t found any gimmicks or silly designs in their entire catalog- only solid and useful stuff.

Check out the newest design from BS Atelier, a small European toy studio known for their handcrafted products and cool, colorfully striped designs. With a subtly tapered shaft, a classic beveled head for G-Spot stimulation, and three sizes to choose form, the G-Spot Ella is the perfect addition to your colorful toy collection. For a wilder look, try the G-Spot Classic with its bold, high contrast stripes!

Since each BS Atelier toy is hand-poured, not all colors and designs are identical. Keep in mind when receiving your BS Atelier toy that there may be slight variations in color between pieces (or in comparison to the product photos), but never in the quality of the product.

Care/Cleaning

This product is made of solid silicone.

Silicone is non-porous and non-toxic. Medical grade silicone is totally safe for your body. It can be easily cleaned and sterilized by following the guidelines below.

To clean silicone, wash it with hot water and a body-friendly soap before and after each use. Make sure your toy is dry before storing it.

To sterilize silicone, wash it and then boil it in plain water for 3-5 minutes. As an alternative, you can also use a solution of 1 part bleach and 9 parts water. Soak your silicone toy in this solution for 5 minutes, then allow to air dry. Sterilize your silicone sex toys between partners, between holes, or if you would just feel better about using your toy if you did.

Solid silicone can sometimes be incompatible with silicone lubricant. Before applying silicone lube to a silicone toy, we recommend conducting a “patch test.” After 10 minutes of contact with silicone lube, rinse your toy and inspect for signs of bonding, peeling, or a foggy or damaged surface finish. If there are no visible signs of damage, your toy is safe to use with silicone lube.

This book is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered "why does my body behave this way?" or "why doesn't my arousal work the way I want it to?" We don't often declare favorites at Smitten Kitten, but Come As You Are is undeniably one of the best books available today about the science of arousal and pleasure. The tone of the book is wonderfully approachable and conversational, and makes it easy for even the least scientifically minded of us to understand the intricacies of the human nervous system. And although the book focuses on cisgender women's sexuality, there are acknowledgments and careful word choices throughout the text that make it accessible for queer and trans readers. With a firm grounding in scientific study and a friendly, truly down to earth voice, this book stands out in the genre of arousal and orgasm guides.

This sturdy harness is perfect for a ruffian with a tough exterior and a tender heart. The high quality leather is strong enough to withstand plenty of action while still providing stability and comfort, and the slender, finely stitched straps make a provocative contrast with that no-nonsense handle in the back. This harness would be perfect for folks who enjoy some affectionate pushing and pulling, or who like being topped from the bottom.

As clever as its namesake, the Simon Peg dildo is perfectly designed for pegging. (Pegging is a term used to describe strap-on sex wherein one partner uses a harness and dildo to penetrate another partner anally.) This slim, firm dildo is particularly suited to anal penetration because it maintains a uniform diameter from tip to base, is rigid enough to easily control in a harness, and has enough length to leave ample room for strap-on play. Two subtle ridges—one near the top and one mid-shaft—add just a touch of titillating texture to Simon's otherwise ultra-smooth surface. This toy's design has recently been revamped, and it is now manufactured with a smooth, seamless surface. This toy is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted piece of pleasure producing art. Any variations in surface texture, color or shape are a sign of its unique craftsmanship, and will not interfere with its function.

HOLE PUNCH

Simple, aesthetically pleasing and carefully designed for therapeutic use, these silicone dilators are an invaluable tool for people who are dealing with pelvic pain issues. Physical therapists and gynecologists often recommend dilators for patients experiencing pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, vestibulodynia, and other conditions that are sometimes called "vaginismus." Dilators can also help regain vaginal flexibility, resilience and openness after radiation therapy, surgery, or hormonal changes.

Using dilators can help a person practice the experience of comfortable, controlled vaginal penetration, and encourage their vaginal muscles to relax and elongate in healthy ways.

Soul Source dilators were created by a sex therapist and a gynecologist, and are designed for easy use and simple care and cleaning.
