How to Use a Hollow Strap-On

What is a Hollow Strap-On?

The hollow strap-on was long regarded as a medical device for people with erectile dysfunction who want to partake in intercourse. While it is no natural treatment for the condition, it allows the men to engage in penetrative sex and please their partner without an erection. However, today, the hollow strap-on is much more than that.

Hollow dildos are recommended as a fun sex toy just as much as they're relied upon as a medical aid. Even if you can achieve an erection, you can use the hollow strap-on dildo to change the size of your penis and experiment with different textures.

As the name suggests, the hollow strap-on is a dildo-shaped sex toy that is hollow inside and worn over the penis with a harness connecting it to the man's body. The harness ensures the dildo stays on no matter the intensity of the penetration. The sex toy is designed to fit an erect or flaccid penis, and you can wear it even after your erection goes down, as long as your partner needs it. It is especially suited for men who face premature ejaculation issues and want to last longer in bed.

Overall, hollow strap-on dildos are firm, so they are less flexible and not overly realistic. However, you can find aesthetically pleasing hollow dildos made of rugged silicone, which have a good feel and are easy to upkeep.

Types of Hollow Strap-Ons

Unlike other sex toys, there are not too many types of hollow strap-ons. However, the extra features and size, texture, and purpose modifications allow for much diversity. In addition, we've singled out the general classifications of hollow strap-ons.

• Realistic Hollow Strap-Ons

When we say realistic, we mean a hollow strap-on offering different sizes or girth (or both), realistically shaped and able to accommodate different-sized penises. The sizes vary greatly, but they usually stretch up to 12 inches or more for those desiring extreme adventures. They also have bulging veins but don't feature testicles such as ordinary dildos.

• Vibrating Hollow Strap-on Dildo

The vibrating hollow strap-on is the most popular pick in the bunch. This sex toy comes with a built-in bullet vibrator, usually at the tip of the dildo, and both partners can enjoy the vibrations. The best thing about the vibrating dildo is that both men and women can use it. Lesbian couples can enjoy this sex toy by inserting a regular vibrator in the hollow part for more intensive vibrations.

• Double Penetration Hollow Strap-on

This hollow strap-on is designed to turn your DP phantasies into reality. They are intended for the penetration of a female partner and can be worn by both men and women. Apart from the regular hollow dildo, they feature an extra penis appendage below the hollow dildo attachment..

Tips for Choosing Hollow Dildo Strap-ons for Beginners

Although hollow dildos are similar to regular strap-on dildos, your purchasing choices must also depend on other factors. Size and length are critical, but there are other factors related to your choice of a hollow strap-on:

Quality

Since hollow strap-ons are both a medical aid and a sex toy, the security features are everything. Don't be fooled by cheap models that look somewhat suitable; usually, they're not worth the price, as it means you won't be able to use the sex toy for long, and you’ll be exposing yourself and your partner to potential harm. Instead, opt for a reputable brand that stands by its products. It will ensure the sex toy is made from suitable quality materials and offer additional benefits, such as vibrating hollow strap-ons being waterproof.

Size

Once you choose the brand, you can think about the size of the hollow strap-on you want to purchase. However, remember to check the external and internal measurements. If you have erectile dysfunction, you will more easily find a hollow strap-on that fits you, so you can only choose the exterior. However, if you want to enlarge your penis and wear the hollow strap-on fully erected, you'll need to take measurements beforehand. Each manufacturer usually displays the volume of the inner channel on the box, making it easy to find something that fits your penis.

Material

The actual materials you have for a hollow dildo strap-on are silicone and Cyberskin. The latter is better if you prefer your hollow dildo to feel more realistic and desire more flexibility (essential for full erections). On the other hand, silicone dildos are stiffer in comparison, but they are also more durable. The Cyberskin hollow strap-on would easily tear during rough penetration, while the silicone one allows you to be as kinky as possible.

Your Partner's Preference

Since the hollow strap-on is meant to be enjoyed by both partners during penetration, it's essential to consider their wants and feelings. Not everyone likes bigger-sized penises, so finding the right length and girth can be tricky. Additionally, the approach by sex toy companies is different for vaginal and anal hollow strap-ons. The lather is usually thinner, while the options for vaginal penetration offer a broader size variety.

Harness

Since the harness will be on you the whole time while using the hollow dildo, you need to find a comfortable material to keep the strap-on tight without bruising or cutting into your skin. The most common materials are woven nylon and fabric. Both are machine washable, but you can also choose leather harnesses, which look sexier but are more challenging to clean and maintain. Additionally, you'll want to buy a harness with adjustable straps to ensure it fits your hips, no matter your weight.

O-Ring

Last, you must think ahead and make your harness more adaptable. Many hollow dildos come fixed to the harness. If possible, we recommend opting for a harness with an O-ring. Even better, if the O-ring is changeable, you can use multiple hollow dildos with just one harness.

Benefits of Hollow Strap-On Dildos

Although a simple sex toy, the hollow dildo strap-on is capable of delivering multiple benefits for both men and women, such as:

• Impotence - This is a general problem that more and more men face. Whether because of age or hormones, impotence can take a significant toll on your mental stability. The purpose of hollow strap-ons is to restore the sexual connection in the relationship when one partner can't get an erection. The sex toy allows them to penetrate their partners without worrying about getting it up and prolonging their sex sessions.
• Premature ejaculation - Regarding stamina, women need longer to climax, and they generally can last longer during sex. Men, on the other hand, have much shorter intervals for cumming. In such cases, the hollow strap-on can be used in two crucial ways. First, the partner can start alone, climax, and then put the hollow strap-on on to help his woman finish. Another option is to use the hollow strap-on until both partners feel like they're about to climax. When you are close to an orgasm, you can take 'the helmet' off and enjoy an orgasm together.
• Penis enlargement - Hollow strap-ons can also be used as novelty sex toys for enlarging your penis. Instead of leaving your partner wanting more, you can purchase multiple hollow strap-ons of different sizes and enjoy a fun experiment.
• G-spot stimulation - Some hollow strap-ons feature tilted tops designed to hit the G-spot during penetration. They can hit the spot more quickly than a regular penis and provide a simple massage, depending on the intensity of the penetrations.
• Anal sex - There are separate models of regular and vibrating hollow strap-ons made thinner. It allows the wearer to experience more intensive sensations while the receiver doesn't need to adjust to a bigger size. The nerve endings in the anus are easily stimulated, and a hollow strap is just the thing to spice anal play.
• Prostate massage - Apart from the reduced thickness, you can also find hollow strap-ons with P-spot focus. These sex toys allow you to hit the prostate while penetrating your partner anally and provide a pleasurable prostate massage. You can also initiate a prostate orgasm and allow your partner to experience a new level of pleasure.
• Lighter fit - Contrary to dildos, hollow strap-ons are much lighter. It puts less pressure on the wearer and allows them to move and penetrate more freely.

How to Use a Hollow Strap-On Dildo

Using a hollow strap-on doesn't differ too much from using a regular harness dildo. You first must ensure your sex toy is clean, you have lube handy, and you and your partner are primed. Here's how you can use a hollow dildo strap-on:

Get Comfortable with the Harness

It's best to try the harness beforehand and adjust it, ensuring you're not making it too tight or too loose. Overly tightened harness can restrict blood flow to the area, making it harder to get an erection. You'll also want your penis to get used to the feel, so make sure you wear it for a while to get used to it.

Charged & Loaded Hollow Strap-On

If you decide to use a vibrating hollow strap-on, make sure it is fully charged. Many models operate on batteries. However, most modern hollow strap-ons can be USB-charged and can last for hours. If you are using an ejaculating hollow strap-on, load it with your preferred fluid.

Get in the Mood

Getting a penis enlargement is all good, but never skip the foreplay. You can experiment with hot and cold play, add restraints to the mix or use other sex toys, such as a bullet vibrator for the clit or nipple clamps.

Apply Lube

Lube is your best friend anytime you introduce a new sex toy to your sexy games and never skip lube with your hollow dildo strap-on. The penetration can be challenging for the wearer and may cause the penis to chafe inside. To avoid this, add a generous amount of lube to the inner channel. Also, use a good amount of lube on the outside of the hollow strap-on. Since the options are Cyberskin and silicon materials for the most part, it's best to choose a water-based lubricant as this lube is compatible with all sex toy materials.

Openly Communicate with your Partner

Having sex with a harness demands time to adjust yourself, so it is vital to keep open communication before, through, and after the penetration. Because your penis has diminished sensations, make sure you check with your partner and ask if something is not working for them.

Cleaning a Hollow Dildo Strap-On

We recommend silicone hollow dildo strap-ons for their flexibility, durability, and lifelike feel. Also, these are the easiest to clean. Before washing your hollow dildo, if possible, remove it from the harness.

In terms of hygiene, if it is rated as waterproof, you can usually submerge the hollow strap-on fully into water, and you can use an antibacterial sex toy cleaner to cleanse it. Additionally, you can use a soft bristle brush to reach the deepest parts of the hollow strap-on.

The harness (presumably made of nylon) can be placed into an underwear bag and put into the washing machine. Remember that this type of harness is susceptible to heat, so you should never put it in a drier. Once washed, leave the hollow strap-on to air dry long enough.

Once the harness and the hollow dildo strap-on are dry, you can store the hollow dildo in a lint-free bag; preferably one made from silk or satin.

Final thoughts

Men with medical reasons are bound to use a hollow strap-on if they want to have an active sex life. However, that doesn't restrict all guys with fully functioning penises from exploring the available options. If that's the case, measure your penis fully erect to ensure the hollow strap-on you wear fits properly.

The hollow strap-on guarantees longevity and will allow you to please your partner without stopping for a break. If you opt for a model with a vibrating mechanism, both you and your partner can expect deeper stimulation!
