Doc Johnson Vac-U-Lock Female Harness Kit
For a long time itâs been my wish (ok, my fantasy) to have my lovely other half give me a good pounding with a strap-on - and guess what? Lovehoney and this harness granted me my wish!
Right - onto the review proper: This is our second harness - the first was a fairly standard âstarter harnessâ, with a regular âO ringâ fitting. It only got one attempted use - the OH found it just wasnât a secure enough fit to allow any proper thrusting - basically it just didnât work for us. We also have a âFeeldoeâ style âstrapless straponâ, and that never quite did it for us either. Some time passed and I decided it was time to do what I shouldâve done in the first place and get something a bit more âprofessionalâ. Having done some research Vac-u-Lock seemed the obvious choice.
It was very important to me to get something that stimulated the girl as well as the guy - I know Ms SWW would happily do it just because I like it, but having her really getting off on it makes it so much hotter. So, I decided to go with the Doc Johnson Female Harness and its two plugs for the wearer. Now, something that I just couldnât find a firm answer to anywhere in my research, so Iâm happy to be able to mention here, is that the 2 wearer plugs ARE on their own little Vac-u-Lock plugs. This is brilliant, as it means you have such flexibility - theoretically if the wearer likes it big she could have a 7 inch dong in her pussy and a 5 inch probe up her ass - or any other combo of Vac-u-Lock attachments. Or the wearer plugs can be removed completely if you want to go without.
Now to the problem we had with our older harness - the secure-ness of the fit â the Doc J Female Harness (aka the Ultra 2000) excels here, with sturdy (but pleasantly soft â they donât cut in at all) leather straps and buckles & plenty of room for adjustment to fit all sizes. Ms SWW is a bigger girl (size 18), and was a little nervous that it wasnât going to fit her, but fit it did. Of course you have the added advantage that the plug (or plugs) inside her are an anchor to hold the harness firmly in place. The plugs themselves are a fairly firm, black, shiny rubber, and a little bigger than I expected, which is no bad thing!
The dildo that comes with this set is just right for me. Size wise I guess it falls into the medium-big category - size is subjective so best just to look at the dimensions but itâs just the sort of size Iâm happy with. Of course since this is a Vac-u-Lock harness you have a whole range of compatible dildos to choose from if you prefer bigger or smaller. I guess some guys (or gals) might prefer a less realistic option - to be honest before we got it I felt the same way, but now it doesnât bother me - itâs just Miss SWWâs âcockâ, and thatâs that. Itâs reasonably soft to touch, a little softer than an actual erect cock (well mine anyway, I havenât done any other comparisons!). The âultra realâ skin doesnât really feel that much like skin, but it is a pleasant texture, and works well with lube (we use Maximus). Out of the box it had a faintly fruity smell, certainly not unpleasant. The Vac-u-lock mechanism to attach dildo to harness is excellent - totally solid connection once itâs on - beats an âo-ringâ by far in my opinion.
Overall the construction of the harness, plugs and attachments is very high-end - it may be a little more pricey than some other options, but this is a strap on thatâs going to last. Iâve tried to think of negatives just to be thorough â all I can think of are a) itâs a thong style harness, for obvious reasons â if your wearer would prefer something that doesnât âride upâ one of the other vac-u-lock harnesses may be better. Ms SWW just cut a hole in a pair of knickers (for the pussy plug â she hasnât quite graduated to having the butt plug too) to wear under the harness & stop it riding up too much â of course for some the riding up might be part of the fun! âŚb) Again, itâs self apparent really, but worth mentioning â if the wearer wants to switch to receiving, the harness needs to be removed completely to gain access to the wearerâs⌠bits â itâs a trade off â wearer plugs or easy access â you canât have both! âŚand c) As I said the dildo is towards the soft size (which I like) but sometimes this results in it popping out when changing angles or positions. Not the end of the world though, you can always get a different Vac-u-lock dong. The only other thing is that the Vac-u-lock range is perhaps a little limited. Theyâre mainly ârealistic dildosâ â it would be nice if there were a few novelty not-so-realistic ones, but I guess you canât have everything!
Most importantly; use. What can I say - I love it. First time out, it wasnât long before she was pounding me every which way - bent over a chair, legs in the air, riding her âcowgirlâ- it was all amazing, all the more so as it was clear as day she was loving it too - to quote Miss SWW: âevery time I pushed into you I could feel it pushing deeper into me!â. The dildo stayed firmly on itâs Vac-u-lock plug and the harness stayed firmly on (and in) Ms SWW. By the end we were both panting and sweating and my occasional anal cravings were satisfied like never before. Since then weâve gone at it again with more positions and spectacular success (one of my most intense orgasms of recent memory) and weâre eagerly looking forward to more of the same in the future.
If youâre thinking of investing in a strap on, and you think youâre gonna be a serious user, look no further than this. It may be 3 times the price of some other options, but itâs 300 times better!
What more can I say, except thank you Lovehoney & Doc Johnson!
Overall Rating: 10 out of 10 stars
Pros: High quality, wearer plugs for her, nice cock for me, Vac-u-Lock system rock solid!
Cons: Ummm⌠Vac-u-Lock dildo range somewhat limited.
Bottom Line: The King of strap ons. Worth every penny.
