Harness Review: Spare Parts Joque

July 21st, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

It’s no secret that I adore Spare Parts Hardwear and their line of quality dildo harnesses, one of their most popular products, the Joque Harness, has been on my wishlist for awhile now. One of my favorite sex toy shops, Kama Sutra Closet, just so happened to have a limited edition leopard print version of the Joque and I knew that now was finally the time to try it. I love all things leopard print, so I was looking forward to seeing this strapon harness in person. The Spare Parts Joque is already a pretty harness, but leopard print? Um, yes please! This harness is made of a nylon/spandex blend that feels super comfy on the skin, it almost feels like a part of comfy panties or bikini bottoms. The front of the harness features a O ring opening to insert any dildo of your choosing, while the straps of the harness go around the hips and grabs around the thighs, exposing the ass and allowing for a woman to comfortably wear a dildo. The crotch of the harness features a mesh design that makes for breath-ability, this helps to pull wetness and bodily fluids away from the skin. I really love the design and quality of the harness, you can tell that it is stitched tightly and even the waistband feels comfortable. This harness is adjustable, and the closures around the legs and waist will accommodate a 20-50 inch waist.

This harness is vegan, tagless, and lightweight. It stores nicely even in a dresser drawer, but it also comes with a reusable matching  drawstring bag. It’s okay to get lubricant and other sex moisture on the harness, and this harness is washable and can be hand washed or throw into a washing machine (use a wash bag). It can be tumble dried on low or hung to dry.  Each harness is handcrafted, you can actually feel the quality of the strapon harness in your hands or while you’re wearing it. It’s made of quality materials and is ethically made. The stretchable O ring on the front will stretch to accommodate just about any shape and size dildo, as long as the dildo has a base that the O ring will hold. You can even use a double dildo in it! This harness also holds strapless strapon dildos if you want added support when using strapless toys. When inserting a dildo into the harness, I found it easy to insert and remove, and  it also held my dildo up nicely, which makes it great for pegging and strapon sex. It’s very easy to adjust the straps on the legs, and the waist to give you a customized fit.

This harness fits like a glove, and I feel super sexy while wearing it. It feels nice against the skin, and it’s so comfy you could probably fall asleep in this harness. The O ring holds the dildo firmly in place so it stands up proud and ready for action! This is an awesome harness for newbies because it’s such a great product, once you go Joque you probably won’t go back. It’s also a great harness for pros because of the comfort, fit, and usability. This harness can be used by a woman to engage in giving a man anal sex, or for two women to engage in vaginal and anal sex. It can also be used for a woman to strap on with your favorite dildo and let your lover simulate fellatio on the dildo. Also, since the harness is washable, it can be used in the pool or shower! There are a lot of fun possibilities you can have with the Joque thats why this harness has become my favorite.

Not only is it cute and functional, it’s also a Kama Sutra Closet exclusive! Normally the Joque harness comes in a variety of colors, but for the limited edition leopard print Joque harness you can find it at KamaSutraCloset.com for $98! That included free shipping, and if you use the coupon code SCARLET15 you’ll get 15% off of your purchase!

SpareParts La Palma review

June 24th, 2011 @ Amber St. Clare

I love how innovative SpareParts HardWear is with their sex products. I’m already a fan of their dildo harnesses, so when I heard that they came out with a palm harness I knew I had to check it out. SpareParts La Palma is a handheld harness that attaches directly to your palm so that you can secure a dildo to your hand without having to hold the dildo itself – genius much? I loved the idea behind La Palma, and when SpareParts so nicely decided to send me my very own La Palma harness to try out I was super excited. The harness comes in three different sizes and is meant to fit both males and females, so you can choose from XS/X, M/L, or XL. You can also choose which hand you want the harness to fit on, so for example you can order a M/L Right, or a XL Left, etc. The harness is made of nylon and neoprene and it has a brass snap closure. The harness is adjustable and can be fitted and tightened to fit your own palm. The harness is very lightweight and it feels very much like a quality product, you can see that it was manufactured well with quality materials, it’s slightly stretchy and sturdy. It features a snap closure at the wrist, finger holes, and a dildo opening where you can insert and secure your favorite dildo. The stretchable O ring will fit just about any dildo, big or small. it also features a pocket that is perfect for inserting a vibrating bullet, in fact you get two waterproof bullet vibes with the harness as well as foam pads and grips to make sure your dildo stays firmly in place while in use. Here are photos of the La Palma below. It comes in a zip up black case, which unzips and opens up, one side of the flap holds the vibrating bullets and foam grips, the other side holds the harness.

The harness has the SpareParts logo on one side, and the O ring part of the harness fits on top face-up on your palm. Inserting a dildo is really easy, and all it takes is inserting the dildo into the O ring, and then closing the snaps to secure the harness. I tried quite a few dildos in the La Palma and the harness fit each of the toys very nicely. You can use this harness with just about any toy, as long as it has a bit of a flared base to fit snugly and securely with the O ring. It works great with silicone dildos and it can be used with ceramic and glass dildos also. The nylon material is easy to clean and wipe down with a wet rag if you get bodily fluids or lube on it. You can also wash it by hand with a mild soap and water and allow it to air dry. Once the dildo is secured to the harness and your palm, it makes it easy to masturbate by just moving your hand without having to hold onto the dildo. It also great for partner use! You could let your lover strap it onto their hand and fuck you with a dildo while they give you oral sex, or you could fuck yourself with a dildo attached to the SpareParts La Palma Harness, while you give your partner oral sex. It can even be used for double penetration of a toy and your partner/partner’s toy. There are definitely a lot of fun ways to use this toy. You can use it to fuck your pussy with a dildo, while your partner’s penis/toy enters your ass. Men can use this product and love it too! You could use this on your man and stimulate his ass with a dildo while you give him oral sex or manual sex. Two men can use the harness also to stimulate the ass with a dildo, while having his mouth and other hand free for other stimulation. This is a really fun solo toy, but it also is so great and ideal for partner sex. When using this harness to masturbate with, my fingers didn’t cramp on while holding onto my dildo and thrusting, because with the La Palma…I didn’t have to hold the toy. It was much easier to just relax and masturbate by just having to move my wrist, and when the dildo was wet I didn’t have to worry about it getting slippery and slipping out of my hand. This harness is awesome!

Shiri Zinn Ceramic Dildo and Strap On Harness

October 28th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

O M G. That was the first thing I thought when I first laid eyes on Shiri Zinn’s gorgeous ceramic dildo and strapon harness. I’d been a longtime admirer of Zinn’s designs, so when she released this gorgeous strapon, and one of my very favorite sex toy shops Kama Sutra Closet got it in stock, I knew I had to have it! Not to mention, the ceramic dildos and their matching lambskin harnesses come in three gorgeous colors, pink, red, and my favorite color…turquoise! I was thrilled, since I’ve yet to see many turquoise colored toys on the market. The dildo and the harness are sold separately, but they can be used together as a sexy pair, or they can be used alone to indulge in your dirty little escapades. In the above photo you can see how the dildo and harness look together, and below you can see how the harness looks from behind.

From behind you can see how pretty the design is! The harness is made of high quality lambskin, and feels ultra smooth to the touch. Obviously this isn’t a harness for vegan toy lovers, but it is quite a luxurious feeling strapon. The back has a fringe detail that lays over your butt, and it features a pretty detailed design of pink and gold. The strapon harness come with an adjustable strap so that it can fit any size hip, you can adjust the trap to your own liking, and I found the harness to be quite comfortable to wear! I could make the harness snug, or semi-loose, and the harness didn’t droop. I liked the slight peek-a-boo feeling of the fringe laying over my ass, and I liked how pretty the harness looked while wearing it. It truly is a luxury harness! As for the dildo, it’s made of body safe ceramic, and can be cooled down in a bowl or cold water or warmed up in a bowl of warm water. The dildo is features a tapered tip for easy insertion, and a smooth body. The dildo measures 6 inches and it feels wonderful in my hand, and inside of me. The base of the dildo is flared for use vaginally, anally, and the dildo will fit in any O ring capable harness. I love the pretty bright turquoise glazed color of the ceramic, and best of all, the dildo features a 9 karat Gold flow design along the shaft! Yes, Gold! Awesome huh? It’s like a little blind for your pussy. After fitting the dildo into the harness, I found that it fit very nicely. I did a few practice thrusts to see how securely the harness held the dildo, and it was great! Held the dildo up nicely and didn’t droop like some strapons can have the tendency to do. I also thought the size of the dildo made it perfect for vaginal sex or pegging, even for beginners. I  just feel super sexy while wearing this strapon! Here are a few photos of the strap on before it was assembled with the strap and dildo, along with a photo of the back of the harness, and a closeup of the gold motif on the dildo.

Gorgeous, right? This strapon dildo and harness is one of the prettiest items in my sex toy collection. Unique, beautiful, and super hot! I highly recommend this strapon for anyone who has been looking for a harness that is both pretty *and* functional. This harness would be great for newbies or pros alike. As for the dildo, it has gold on it, come on! If that doesn’t make you want it, I don’t know what else could ;) I like the feel of the dildo, and think both sex toy novices and sex toy lovers alike would both really enjoy it.

Want to get your own Shiri Zinn Strap On Harness and Shiri Zinn Ceramic Dildo? Head on over to KamaSutraCloset.com where both are in stock! If you’re not a big turquoise fan (gasp!) you can also check out these dildos and harnesses in Red or Pink.

Babes n Horny!

March 15th, 2010 @ Amber St. Clare

Feast your eyes on the ultra unique and colorful silicone beauties from Babes n Horny. This brand offers quality hand made silicone dildos, butt plugs, and gorgeous dildo harnesses made of leather and denim (yes, denim!). Babes n Horny is a UK company that believes is subtly sexy products that ooze fun and creativity. As you can see from the dildos pictured above, they’re quite good at what they do. From left to right: a beautiful HUGE prototype dildo with a rippled body and large base, a super color Redon dildo, the Tula buttplug, and the slim black dildo. The quality feels so soft and supple, and while the toys are firm enough for me to enjoy with some thrusting, they’re also bendable and have enough give to them for easy use and versatility.

Close up of the Redon dildo

I love the Babes n Horny product sticker!

The adorable sticker on the bottom of the two toys above (still unopened, to show you how they are packaged) has the Babes n Horny panda logo and says “Made by hand in London, 100% silicone, Sweatshop free dildo. Making love better.” I love supporting companies with priorities, and Babes and Horny has a great head on it’s shoulders. I had a talk with Ande, creator of Babes n Horny, and found out a great deal about the vibe and reputation behind Babes and Horny. I respect this company so much and truly hope that some sex toy companies in the US take a few tips and tricks from the awesome people at Babes n Horny. Their dildos are beautiful and they truly believe in healthy toys that you can enjoy, rather than using cheap materials to mass produce. They even make gorgeous and unique harnesses. For example, the Paris harness is made of soft leather and you can use the Me2 accessory with it…which is insanely cool. It’s basically an attachment that lets the harness wearer enjoy their own dildo while they thrust into their partner. Great design! Awesome idea! Check out the photo below for a drawing of how it works.

Here are product photos of the actual product. The soft Paris harness that is both beautiful and sexy, it’s very high quality, which you can see *and* feel. The photos of the harness have the Me2 attachment on the harness to show you how it fits. Plus a photo of a dildo in the Me2 ready for use!

I love the design of the Me2. A lot of sex toy manufacturers and harness brands have been trying to find a way for the wearer to enjoy stimulation, hence the internally worn “strap-less” dildos. However, many people have problems with the size of the internal part of the toy, or have problems keeping the internal anchor in place. With the Me2, YOU choose which toy fits inside of you, and YOU adjust the fit with the straps. As you thrust your hips, the dildo nestled inside of the Me2 will stimulate the wearer hands-free, as he/she in turns thrusts into their partner. I adore this harness! It’s cute and the idea is one that actually seems to work. Babes n Horny, you just got yourself a huge fan in the US. I want more Babes n Horny!
