Learn how to use a hollow silicone strap-on with a partner, including setup, positioning, and tips for comfort and pleasure. Perfect for couples exploring size play.

Quick answer

Using a hollow silicone strap-on with a partner is about communication, proper harness fit, and taking it slow. Start with plenty of lube, adjust the harness snugly, and let the receiving partner control depth and pace.

Why a hollow design changes the experience

Unlike solid strap-ons, a hollow silicone strap-on has a soft, dual-density core that can accommodate a penis or another toy inside. This design allows the wearer to feel more connected to the action, and the extra length can be a thrill for size enthusiasts. The trade-off is that the hollow channel adds some flexibility, so the wearer may need to focus on steady movements rather than relying on rigid thrusting.

Choosing the right size for your play style

A 9 inch hollow silicone strap-on like the one from Pipedream Products offers significant length for those who want an intense experience. However, that extra length requires more control and may not suit beginners or partners who prefer shallow penetration. If you are new to strap-on play, consider starting with a shorter hollow model to build confidence before moving up to a larger size.

Step-by-step guide for using a hollow strap-on with a partner

Step 1: Prepare the harness and toy: Choose a sturdy, adjustable harness that fits the wearer comfortably. Insert the hollow strap-on into the O-ring, making sure the flared base is secure. If the wearer plans to use the hollow channel, apply a small amount of lube inside the toy first. Common mistake: using a harness with a loose O-ring can cause the toy to slip during use. Check the fit before you start.
Step 2: Communicate and set the scene: Talk with your partner about desired depth, speed, and any sensations they want to avoid. Agree on a safe word or signal. Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to the outside of the strap-on and to the receiving partner's genitals. Common mistake: skipping lube or using too little can cause discomfort, especially with longer toys.
Step 3: Position for comfort and control: Start with a position that gives the receiving partner control, such as lying on their back with legs open (missionary) or on top (cowgirl). The wearer should enter slowly, pausing to let the receiving partner adjust. Let them set the pace and depth. Common mistake: the wearer thrusting too hard or deep too soon can overwhelm the receiving partner. Slow and steady wins.
Step 4: Adjust and explore: Once comfortable, experiment with different angles and speeds. The hollow design may allow the wearer to feel some sensation through the toy, so pay attention to how it feels for both of you. Reapply lube as needed. Common mistake: forgetting to reapply lube mid-session. Keep it within arm's reach.
Step 5: Clean up properly: After use, remove the strap-on from the harness. Wash the toy with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. If the toy has a hollow channel, ensure it is fully cleaned and dried inside to prevent bacteria growth. Common mistake: not drying the hollow channel thoroughly can lead to mold. Let it air dry completely before storing.
