How to Use a Hollow Strap-on Dildo with Your Partner

Hollow dildos or hollow strap-ons are not only fun to use for people with ANY body shape and type, but they can be a really useful tool for anybody with erectile dysfunction, a smaller penis, or who wants to add length and girth. And, of course, it’s a great way to role play and experiment with your partner, acting out fantasies and testing their limits. 

Let’s start with the basics of hollow dildos and hollow strap-ons before we get to the fun part.


WHAT IS A HOLLOW DILDO OR HOLLOW STRAP-ON

Hollow dildos differ from penis sheaths or penis extensions because they are generally firmer and are either attached to, or come with, a strap-on harness. This means you can use the hollow dildo whether you are actually wearing it or not and that opens up some delightful possibilities for play. 


WHY USE A HOLLOW DILDO OR STRAP-ON

Hollow dildos are designed to have a penis inserted in them but because they are firm, the wearer doesn’t have to have an erection - or even a penis! This means you can use a hollow dildo or strap-on if you have erectile dysfunction or if you want to increase your length and girth. 

Wearing a hollow dildo or hollow strap-on gives you the ability to have sex with your partner in a way that is familiar to both of you without the worry of losing your erection or leaving your partner dissatisfied. They also open up a world of experimentation and role play for both of you that can be incredibly sexy.

WHAT KIND OF MATERIAL IS A HOLLOW DILDO MADE FROM

The most common materials for hollow dildos are PVC and Silicone. Both hold their shape and are easy to clean. Warm, soapy water will take care of any lubricant, semen or other bodily fluids. They are materials that are silky to the touch, but firm. There is no ‘squish’ to PVC or Silicone hollow dildos. 


HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT HOLLOW DILDO FOR BOTH OF YOU

There are a few things you need to look for when purchasing a hollow strap-on dildo

  • Size of the dildo. Will it be a comfortable width/girth/insertable length for my partner
  • Size of the harness. Measurements may refer to ‘waist size’ but harnesses generally sit on the hips. Make sure it will adjust to the size you need
  • Does the dildo detach? This is a feature you may or may not care about. 
  • Does the dildo have other features ie. vibration, squirting.
  • Does the entrance have a cushion to protect the dildo from bumping your groin/hips

 

HOW TO USE A HOLLOW DILDO OR STRAP-ON

    • Adjust the harness to a comfortable snug but not tight fit on your hips
    • Use some water based lubricant on your penis or drip some in the dildo.
    • Use lubricant on the exterior of the dildo as well. Even if your partner produces lots of natural lubrication, remember the dildo is a firmer material.
    • Use caution entering your partner for the first time. These dildos don’t have the give of a penis so make sure they are comfortable
    • Keep up a dialogue with your partner to determine their comfort level
    • If you don’t have a penis or you have a smaller penis, you can try putting some tissues inside the hollow part of the chamber so that the dildo keeps its structure.
    • Experiment with putting a bullet vibrator in the chamber so you both get some great vibrating action.
    • Don’t switch between vaginal and anal in the same session with the hollow dildo.
    • After you ejaculate, wash the dildo out with warm water and soap.
