I have long ago come up with the formula for an ideal strapless strap-on: it should not be large and heavy, should be very flexible and thin in the place where the vaginal part passes into the main one.

Filled with this knowledge and experience of using such toys, I received fr om the Sexshopers portal two strapless strapons from Glavseksmag for a review.

Toys are packed in a box made of thick cardboard, which in turn is inserted into a cardboard sleeve with an illustration. Already here I winced at the quality of the picture. The manufacturer has an arguable style. I would not call it attractive, but there tastes differ.

The first case: a beige strapless strapon without vibration. This is a rather massive toy for both the receiver and the giver. It's as if it was made specifically to fall out all the time.

The vaginal part has a very uncomfortable shape: not only is it too large in itself, but also the thinning is insignificant towards the base. On top of that, I put this strapon on the scale and was horrified: 430 g. Am I supposed to hold a half-kilogram toy with vaginal muscles?

Of course, there are a lot of questions to the manufacturer. Why is the strap-on so heavy? There are no motors, no vibration or extra features. It's just molded silicone, but it weighs like a brick.

The heaviest part is the stopper. It's too big and tough. When moving during sex, the last thing you want is to get a painful collision of the clitoris with this part.

Medium working part: suitable for those who like rather large toys or are not new to using them for a long time. The head has a cool shape, it is pronounced, with a small depression at the very tip. It's functionally unclear why it is needed, but it looks good.

The material is declared as soft-touch, but this is not that soft and velvety soft-touch that comes to mind when you read the title. The silicone from which this toy is made looks more like ordinary rubber. Dust constantly sticks to it, it is hard to believe that it is really made of material that is safe for the body.

The second case: a pink strapless strapon with vibration and a remote control.

Outwardly, a much more viable individual than his friend from the next box. The strap is much smaller – and this is a huge plus.

The vaginal part is small, it has a ribbed surface and stays inside quite well. The toy goes into a medium-sized rigid stopper, and has a very small and not very wide working part.

The size is ideal for those new to strapon play. This toy could be very good if not for the complete lack of flexibility. It is solid in all places. Wherever it would be useful for the strap to bend (base and working part), it does not bend.

Due to the lack of flexibility, the working part fits snugly against the pubis, and it is difficult to find a position wh ere interaction with a partner will be comfortable because of this. Nevertheless, apart from all inconveniences, this toy can be used.

The remote control, as everywhere, gives its advantages – you can switch vibration modes remotely if you like additional vibration stimulation. Usually I do not use it myself at all, but fans of powerful vibration will be satisfied with this - the motor’s work is A-rated.

Psst, here is a lifehack: this strap-on easily turns into a pretty good bunny if you turn it over in solo games.

The control buttons on the vibrator itself are in an inconvenient place. If your strapon starts to fall out and you want to hold it with your hand, there is a big chance you will accidentally turn on vibration for and this may not be what you would like.

The toy is IPx7 waterproof. This means that it is conditionally waterproof. That is, you can immerse it in water, but no more for half an hour.

To summarize: unfortunately, both toys are far from being ideal.

The beige strap-on is a clinical case of a bad toy. For your own money, you can ruin the experience of playing with such devices for yourself and your partner.

A pink strapon with a remote control – with the proper skill, it will be quite suitable for experiments, but still it is not very good. Throughout the review, I could not get rid of the thought that it would suit webcam models: it would look great in the frame. Still, the lack of flexibility brings some discomfort, but this is the drawback of many such toys.

And most importantly: it seems that strapons and other toys should be created by people who regularly use them themselves.

The strapons were provided for testing by the wholesale company Picanto with the assistance of sexshopers.ru.
