🔗 The Xavier & Kitty Romper Room Guide to Strap-On Play

What It Is, How to Use It, Talking About It, and Staying Safe

At Xavier & Kitty Romper Room, we believe that strap-on play is more than a toy—it’s a gateway to connection, confidence, and creative intimacy. Whether you’re exploring pegging, gender affirmation, roleplay, or simply switching things up, strap-Ons offer a versatile and empowering way to experience pleasure.


💡 What Is a Strap-On?

A strap-on typically consists of two parts: 

  • A harness worn around the hips or pelvis
  • A dildo or penetrative toy secured to the harness

When worn, the strap-on allows for hands-free penetration—vaginal, anal, or otherwise. Strap-Ons can be used by people of any gender or anatomy, and they’re popular for:

  • Pegging (anal penetration of someone with a penis)
  • Vaginal penetration for couples of all genders
  • Gender affirmation for trans and non-binary partners
  • Power exchange, role reversal, or simply switching roles

🗣️ How to Talk About Strap-On Play with Your Partner

Open, honest communication is the foundation of satisfying strap-on play. Here’s how to start the conversation:

  • Lead with curiosity: “I’ve been thinking about trying strap-on play—would you be open to exploring it together?”
  • Affirm safety and consent: “We’ll go slow, and you can stop anytime.”
  • Share fantasies: “What part of the idea excites you?”
  • Normalize the interest: Strap-Ons aren’t taboo—they’re tools for pleasure, connection, and self-expression.
  • Set boundaries and safe words: Even playful scenes benefit from clear limits and check-ins.

Remember: the goal isn’t to convince—it’s to co-create a space where both partners feel heard, respected, and excited.


🛠️ How to Use a Strap-On

1. Choose the Right Gear

  • A comfortable harness with adjustable straps
  • A flared-base dildo made of body-safe silicone
  • Water-based or silicone-based lube (depending on toy material)
  • Optional: gloves, condoms, or toy cleaner

2. Practice Solo First

Wear the harness alone to get used to how it feels. Adjust the straps for a snug fit and practice thrusting against a pillow to build confidence.

3. Prepare the Receiving Partner

  • Take a warm shower or bath to relax
  • Use fingers or small plugs to warm up the body
  • Apply generous lube to both the toy and the area of penetration
  • Communicate throughout—ask how it feels, adjust speed and angle

4. Explore Positions

  • Missionary: Great for eye contact and intimacy
  • Doggy Style: Allows deeper penetration and dominant energy
  • Cowgirl (receiver on top): Receiver controls depth and rhythm
  • Spooning: Comfortable and sensual for slower play

🛡️ Safety Tips from Xavier & Kitty

  • Use lube generously—especially for anal play
  • Start slow—shallow thrusts help the body adjust
  • Avoid switching orifices without cleaning or changing condoms
  • Clean toys thoroughly with mild soap and warm water
  • Practice aftercare—offer cuddles, water, or quiet time to reconnect emotionally
  • Check in often—watch body language and ask for feedback

Strap-on play is about rhythm, connection, and mutual pleasure—not force or performance.
