Spareparts Hardwear Black Sasha Strap-On Harness Briefs

We reluctantly purchased this after not great sessions with the Vack-U-Lock strapped harness. The product itself is made amazingly well and much sturdier than I expected with less wobble than the strapped harness.

My wife is a size 14 and according to Spareparts Hardware website she was an XL, which was perfect. But according to the Lovehoney sizing, the XL suited dress size 20-22! This is a premium product and we're very happy. Also purchased a small bullet vibrator to wear with it, which my wife says felt great.

As a queer woman, strap-on play has become an integral part of my sex life and identity. I have a number of harnesses in my collection, but was the Spareparts Sasha a hit in my bedroom?

The Sasha harness brief is exactly what it looks like - essentially a pair of knickers with an O-ring to support your dildo/cock.

The packaging is a minimal yet classy black cardboard presentation box. Inside you get the harness, a lingerie bag to pop it in the washing machine safely and a little zip up pouch which can fit the harness and a few other little bits, maybe a bullet vibe and condoms for a weekend away.

The fabric is really soft and clingy in a good way. The waistband is wide for comfort but quite tight to give the necessary support. The ribbons at the sides adjust to whatever level of ruching you feel like and there are four little elastic loops to attach the little suspender clips that are included. (I don't use the suspenders as they hold stockings lower down my thigh than I like to wear them, but that is just personal preference). There is more ruching down the back "butt crack" area, which I love and am sure will flatter any bottom.

Size-wise, I would say the sizing on the Lovehoney product page is accurate. I chose a Medium as I usually wear a size 14-16 (usually closer to 16) in regular knickers. When I compare the Sasha to a pair of 14-16 Primark's finest, the waistbands are pretty much identical.

However, the fit is on the tight side owing to the chunky tight waistband. While perfectly comfortable, I personally get a bit of "muffin top", which some people might be not so confident about. I simply wear the Sasha pulled a little higher up my hips and tuck any "excess" in! I guess a Large might be a little more flattering on me, but from previous experience of this style of harness I would prefer to keep the tightness and subsequent better support and control of the dildo.

In use, Sasha performs pretty well, definitely better than the other brief style harnesses I have tried and swiftly discarded. That waistband really is important. I think there is some non-stretch fabric in the front that gives even more support and holds my dildo the same way as my favourite two strap harnesses.

Nestled in the crotch area are two little pockets that can house two standard bullet vibes. While a nice idea in theory, I don't like this as there's just too much going on down there that puts too much pressure on my clit, so I just spend most of the time trying to readjust rather than focus on fucking. I haven't successfully using the Sasha to play with a double ended/strapless strap-on for this same reason - just too much pressure down there for me.

A final thing that I DO really like is that the Sasha is very easy to keep clean and hygienic as you can just chuck it in the laundry. I put mine in a regular wash (in its provided lingerie net bag) with a normal load at 30 degrees and it came out as perfect as if it was fresh out of the box.

Overall, I like the Sasha. It is definitely top of the range when it comes to brief style harnesses. They are easily the most accessible style, not everyone likes buckles and straps and with the Sasha you can just "plug in and play" as it were without having to adjust anything. Spareparts also cater to larger bodies which is brilliant.

However, the price is... a bit much for what it is. If you know this is the only style that suits you, only use modest size dildos (as the O-ring can't be changed out for a larger one) and you're going to get a lot of use out of it, then it really is the cream of the crop.
