Many couples are curious about “pegging,” or anal penetration of the man by a woman with a strap-on. There seems to have been a trend for a few years now, where the traditional division of roles in the bedroom is changing a bit and couples are willing to experiment. If you are also curious about pegging, you may be wondering what is a suitable strap-on set that is affordable and yet of sufficient quality. So is the Strap U Navigator something for you?

Why pegging?

Men have a prostate. This is a walnut-sized gland, at the “root” of the penis, just below the bladder. Massaging the prostate can build up sensation, making his orgasm much more intense than usual. The only way to massage the prostate is through the man’s anus. This is why some men like to insert a finger, or a toy during sex or masturbation.

In pegging, the woman wears a harness to which a dildo is attached. With that, she can fuck her partner in the ass. For many couples, that thought alone is very exciting.

What is the Strap U Navigator?

Strap U is a brand of XR Brands, which focuses exclusively on strap-on dildos. Strap U’s assortment consists of various strap-on dildos and harnesses. The Navigator is a set consisting of an adjustable nylon harness and a curved silicone dildo for anal use.

The set is specifically designed for couples who want to start pegging and are looking for a high quality set that is still affordable.

The pink dildo in the set has a maximum insertion depth of 14 centimeters. At the tip, the dildo is 2.7 centimeters and at the base 3.8 centimeters. So the dildo gets a little bit thicker the deeper it goes inside you. The head of the dildo is shaped like a glans. The dildo is made of silicone and has a suction cup at the base.

The harness is adjustable and therefore suitable for almost everyone. The maximum hip circumference is 120 centimeters and the upper leg strap is 74 centimeters. You can easily adjust the straps with a kind of sliding buckle, as you also have on backpacks for example.

You can put the dildo through a ring of the harness. The suction cup keeps it even better in place. The harness can also be used (later) with other strap-on dildo’s.

Unboxing the Strap U Navigator

The Strap U Navigator comes in a typical “retail box. The box has no particular look but is mostly functional. It has information on it about the contents and contains some pictures that give you an idea of the contents. I call that a ‘retail box’ because it is designed to be hung up in a store by eyelets in the cardboard and because the information is important when you are orienting yourself in a physical store. When buying online, you don’t need those hanging eyes and the information. Then you would prefer a packaging that feels a bit more like a gift. I think a lot of manufacturers could do a better job of thinking about that.

In the box, the harness and the dildo are packaged separately in a plastic bag. Again, that’s a bit cheap and I wish manufacturers would use a little less plastic. But it is hygienic.

Furthermore, there is no manual or something, but you do not really need it. It is self-explanatory.

Taking the Strap U Navigator for a test drive

If – like us – you’re going to use a strap-on dildo for anal sex for the first time, it’s pretty exciting. Both for me (man) and for my partner (woman). Until now she used her fingers or a vibrator, but this is something else. With your fingers you have a perfect feeling for what you are doing. And with a strap on you have to think a bit about which position is easiest.

Putting on the harness is very easy. Nylon harnesses are affordable and can even go in the washing machine. Maybe they are a little less comfortable than leather, but you can put them on in the shower or bath. The harness is very lightweight and easy to adjust.

On the front is a ring where the dildo slides in. Do this before you put on the harness, as it will give you just a little more room to move.

The dildo feels very nice and is a bit flexible. It is made of silicone, so we used (a lot of) water-based lube for anal sex. Not only did we put enough on the dildo, but she also smeared some on (and a little in) my anus.

It is important in pegging that the receiving party (i.e. me) is relaxed and excited. That makes penetration easier. The very act of rubbing in lubricant and massaging contributes to this.

It is indeed a matter of finding the best position. The advantage of the missionary position (man on his back) is that you can massage the penis. But doggy style also works well, especially if you like harder penetration. The dildo is not too thick, which is nice when you are pegging for the first time.

This set does not provide stimulation for her. Although she does ride the harness a bit while moving, this harness has no additional stimulation for her. That’s a shame. Perhaps we should purchase a “Banana Pants Bumpher” with it after all? Another option is to combine the strap-on set with a vibrating egg, like the Lovense Lush, or a vibrator for in your panties like the We Vibe Moxie.

Cleaning

Cleaning the harness is very easy. Take the dildo out and rinse it under the tap. Use some mild soap or toy cleaner if necessary. You can also rinse the harness under the tap, or wash it in the washing machine.

Easy-peasy.

Conclusion

All in all it was a very nice first introduction to pegging. We will have a lot of fun with this set. The quality is good enough to last a long time and who knows, we might buy another dildo in the future. Especially in combination with a toy for her, it is an exciting extension of our sex life.
