Lovehoney products, which are always well-built and high-quality, will forever hold a special place in my heart. Both butt plug harnesses stood out thanks to their quality genuine leather construction, sturdy design, and comfortable fit. The fact that both the Bondage Boutique and DOMINIX Deluxe double as chastity belts and offer versatile options for use helped them solidify their #1 spots.

How We Picked The Products
Tracking down the best butt plug harnesses the world of adult products has to offer took more time than it would to find good heart-shaped butt plugs, which are beloved and abundant. But we still managed to track down a dozen, which were then distributed among our team of sex experts, who had the difficult job of deciding on their favorites.
Since we want to ensure that each toy has a fair chance at clenching the number one spot, we use quantifiable metrics to give each product a rating out of 100. Below, you’ll find the test criteria that helped all of us rate each product and decide which deserved the top title:
- Design. Most importantly, we were looking for harnesses that have just the right amount of strap length so it’s easy to find a comfortable fit. After that, the option to securely attach your harness to most toys is the second-most sought-after feature.
- Versatility. Being useable for anal play is obviously the foremost purpose of a high-quality product. But having the option to equip a harness with extra toys, flip it around for a round of pegging, or wear it under your favorite outfit are fun bonuses.
- Size. We tried to look for harnesses that fit the most common dress sizes, with a little extra wiggle room for since we know everybody is different! If equipped with a plug, we looked for something that could be used by most beginners and folks with medium experience.
- Ease of Use. Nothing says mood-killer like messing with your harness straps for 20 minutes mid-play. If you can’t slide it on and get back to business, it didn’t make it into this review.
- Quality. You’re only as strong as your weakest link! Loops that looked like they were hanging on by a thread and harnesses with obviously poor stitching will never be recommended to my readers.
- Materials. For me, the material will always matter. I prioritized finding either leather or high-quality faux leather harnesses, and review samples that were made from allergen-free and body-safe materials like high-quality silicone and the like.
- Special features. As if a butt plug-endowed harness wasn’t enough, I also tried to find picks with wow-factor features, such as inflatable plugs, cock rings, or dildos.
- Price. I’m not necessarily on the lookout for the cheapest products I can find, but I always opt for products that deliver high value relative to their price.
During testing, we rated each of the toys based on the criteria listed above, starting from 0% (Worst) to 100% (Best). Each score was calculated using different weighted metrics depending on what we deemed most important. Half the total rating comes from Design (25%) and Versatility (25%). After that comes Size (10%), Ease of use (10%), Quality (10%), Materials (5%), Size (5%), Special features (5%), and Price (5%).

1. Bondage Boutique Deluxe: Female Butt Plug Harness
Why we love Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather:
After our first round of testing, the Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather was the fan-favorite of all our female testers. In addition to providing a comfortable fit with the provided butt plug, folks using the Bondage Boutique also have the option to partake in double penetration and chastity play, two features that set this baby well apart from the competition.
First and foremost, it’s worth mentioning that, as always, the discreet butt plug harness showed up in nondescript packaging. I’ll be honest, one of my favorite parts of ordering new sex toys from Lovehoney is imagining my postman delivering my package, completely unaware of its naughty contents. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened the box, as gauging material quality from a photo is nearly impossible. But the quality of the leather was made apparent immediately after unboxing. It felt sturdy and well-secured at all the most important parts, and I didn’t see any loose threads.
The texture of the leather itself was a point of debate among our testers, as it’s definitely stiff to start. Personally, I enjoyed the solidity as it helps feel snug and secure in its fit, but if you’re a fan of softer finishes then not to worry, it starts to loosen up after a few wears. In terms of size, I felt that the Bondage Boutique fit perfectly and I ended up having a short length of strap left over, both around the waist and between the legs, I am a size 6. Since the largest of our panel members is a size 14 and she still found the belt super comfortable to wear, I feel confident recommending it to anyone in this size range.
Being well-versed in both anal and vaginal play, I was worried that I would find the size of the provided plugs to be a little on the small side. But I think Lovehoney hit the nail on the head, as anything larger would probably get uncomfortable, especially during the longer sessions that this style of accessory is intended for. The size was also perfect for keeping me on the edge. If, however, you decide that you’re in the market for a size-up, then you can use the provided O-rings for a wide range of toys, including a vibrating dildo, which I opted for to get some additional sensation.
You also have the option to place the O-rings on the outside of the belt, allowing you to transform your butt plug harness into a strap-on! Very fun for same-sex partners like myself and ladies looking for a sex toy to surprise their husbands with.
Minor issues we found during testing:
The most common complaint related to the Bondage Boutique was regarding the locks, which are undeniably on the small and thin side. Although they’re completely functional, if you want a more secure fit it’s worth investing in a beefier option, which you can get for cheap.
I also felt like the provided toys, though well-sized, were very basic and magnets for lint. For regular users, I would recommend swapping them out for something equipped with vibrations or some other wow factor.
Why Bondage Boutique Deluxe Leather is the best butt plug harness:
- Versatility: The versatility of this toy was one of the key factors in it clenching the #1 spot and an overall rating of 93%. In addition to being a harness with a butt plug, it functions as a chastity belt, can be used with a dildo, and even functions as a strap-on! The possibilities are endless.
- Quality: For me, using harnesses made from faux leather and other low-quality materials is a turn-off. I love the feeling of being strapped into something that is completely solid and free of unfinished edges or loose threads.
Features:
- Harness Material: Leather
- Waist Strap: 25 – 35” circumference
- Front to Back: 20 – 31”
- Toy Material: Latex-free
- Total Length: 4.5”
- Circumference: 4”
Pros:
- Fits most sizes
- Made from high-quality leather
- Equipped with two O-rings for double penetration
- Can be used for chastity play
- Great value for the price ($55.99)
- Is reversible and can be used for pegging
Cons:
- Locks aren’t the highest quality
- Provided toys are very basic
2. DOMINIX Deluxe Leather: Male Butt Plug Harness
Why we love DOMINIX Deluxe Leather:
Though relatively simple in design, the DOMINIX Deluxe has the potential to be modded in several different ways, which helped our testers not only find their perfect fit but also allowed them to incorporate unique toys into their chastity play. This customizability was well-appreciated by our test team and undoubtedly helped it clench the title. I did have the opportunity to test the DOMINIX Deluxe myself, but since I am not endowed with a penis, I obviously was not able to experience this bae in its full glory. Instead, I will start by sharing my limited experience with it and pass along the rest of my team’s first-hand experience.
Starting with the packaging, which, as with all Lovehoney products, was completely non-descript in its classic brown box. One of our panel members even had to pick their box up from an unsuspecting neighbor, who was completely clueless as to the contents of the box—thanks Lovehoney! If you’re a woman who’s fallen in love with the design of the DOMINIX Deluxe, don’t worry! You’re still more than able to purchase and use it. I found the fit to be quite comfortable, and though I’m a size 6, had no problems with it staying up around my hips.
The leather is slightly stiff to start, but regardless, I found it remarkably comfortable to wear and sit in, and none of the metal rings or rivets chafed the skin. Over time, you can also expect the leather to soften up, as is the case with all leather products. The bottom strap was a little loose (it’s designed to accommodate a little more junk in the trunk) but not so loose that I had issues with my butt plug slipping out. You also have the option to add an additional snap for an extra-tight fit or a dildo into the cock ring for same-sex play.
As for women thinking about purchasing this for their male partner, I was told that the rings and rivets rub in all the right places when you’re on top, and you can count on your S/O having the orgasm of his dreams—do with that what you will! Now onto the experience of my male testers. They all agreed this is one of the more comfortable harnesses they’ve ever worn, and considering the price felt it’s well-built to stand the test of time.
Unanimously, their favorite aspect of the DOMINIX Deluxe is just how adjustable it is. Made with such a simple design, it’s easy to cut an extra hole or attach an additional snap wherever it’s needed to create a tighter fit, perfect for any of my small-waisted kings/queens. The design of the butt plug holder is compatible with essentially any wide-based toy, though I was told that it fits especially well with toys endowed with Doc Johnson’s Vac-U-Lock base. You also have the option of adjusting it to simply act as a strap, making it compatible with many harness-specific butt plugs.
Many of our male testers also fitted the cock ring with a cage which greatly elevated the chastity aspect of the belt. They also recommend supergluing the snaps once you’ve found your perfect fit, as otherwise, you can escape from the belt by unsnapping the connector between the cock ring and the plug holder.
Minor issues we found during testing:
Finding a harness that perfectly fits your unique anatomy can be difficult, especially when a cock ring is thrown into the mix. Most of our male testers found them adjusting one aspect of the belt or another, though most of them found it easy to do so thanks to the numerous snaps and studs.
But if the cock ring is really making everything else harder than it should, there’s no harm in trying a cock ring butt plug as an alternative. Here are some recommendations for the cock ring butt plugs that we like.
Why DOMINIX Deluxe Leather is the best male butt plug harness:
- Design: Personally, I love the aesthetic of the DOMINIX Deluxe with all of its metal rings and rivets. But looks aside, the overall functionality of his toy, with its easy adjustability, included cock ring, and option to be used for chastity play were important components of its 91% overall rating, which was much higher than the other products we tested.
- Versatility: Thanks to the placement of the metal loops and cock ring, users have the option to equip the DOMINIX Deluxe with leashes, collars, cages, and a variety of anal-specific toys, which means that it’s built to tickle just about every fancy.
Features:
- Harness Material: Leather
- Waist Strap: 23”-36” circumference
- Cock ring: 2.1”
Pros:
- An affordable harness for only $49.99.
- Very customizable
- Compatible with different add-ons like cages
- Leather is high-quality and comfortable
- Functions as a chastity belt
Cons:
- Generally requires some adjusting
- Doesn’t come with a butt plug
Other Good Alternatives
Stockroom’s Harness Butt Plug is our favorite leather butt plug harness. In addition to having an extra-wide base adorned with 10 super-secure rivets, it also comes with two slits, through which you can slide the straps of your favorite harness—allowing for an extra-secure fit. However, it’s worth mentioning that it won’t comfortably align with harness straps wider than 1.75″. You have two size options to choose from, Small or Medium, and despite not sounding significantly different size-wise the jump between them is considerable, with a whopping 0.75” difference between the two. Each product is hand-made in-house by the Stockroom team in Los Angeles so you can be sure that they’re well-built and made to last.
Rainbow Depot’s Inflatable Butt Plug Harness Instead of your regular, run-of-the-mill anal plug, this harness comes endowed with an inflatable plug that, using the attachable pump, can be blown up to a very filling 2.5” wide and 4.5” long. All three straps on the high-quality, black Latigo leather harness are fully adjustable and have the best range of any of the harnesses included in this review. Since the plug can be removed for easy cleaning, users also have the option of fitting this harness with their favorite butt plug, so long as it has slits of the appropriate size. The front of this inflatable butt plug harness is also adorned with a cock ring, which can be used to maintain a rock-hard erection or endowed with a cage for dom/sub play.
Dungeonware’s Large Butt Plug Harness Not only is it made with enough length to comfortably fit someone who typically wears a size XL to 3XL—with a maximum circumference length of 47”—but it’s also constructed with a few special features that help make it extra secure. Starting with the leather, which is a super sturdy 7/8 oz and completely genuine, this Dungeonware harness is also made with triple-riveted connections at the buckles and rings, and made with locking roller buckles, which won’t bend or break under even the most extreme stress. All three straps are completely adjustable, and the butt plug holder, which is removable, is compatible with all your favorite wide-based toys. The cherry on top of Dungeonware’s high-quality harness design and USA assembly is its lifetime warranty—enjoy all the heavy play your heart desires with no worries.
What Is A Butt Plug Harness?
A butt plug harness is a versatile bedroom accessory that is usually made from strong materials such as leather, vegan-friendly or otherwise. Using a durable material is important since the job of a harness is securing an anal plug-in position, though they also sometimes come equipped with cock rings, dildos, or serve the purpose of a chastity belt.
How To Use A Butt Plug Harness?
With so many adjustable features, getting started with a butt plug harness can feel intimidating. But don’t let your doubts get the best of you, this simple step-by-step will guide you through how to set up and use your butt plug harness.
- Before using your butt plug harness, even if it’s fresh out of the box, make sure to thoroughly wash the attached toys and wipe down the straps.
- If you plan on using your harness with a partner, it’s a good idea to take it to the bathroom before getting started, since fiddling with the straps and adjusting the position of the plugs mid-play can be a mood killer.
- Most harnesses offer the option for you to move the butt plug to the ideal position for your unique anatomy, so start by moving them on the strap until you find your perfect fit.
- Then, while standing, adjust the straps to be just tight enough without digging into the skin before taking some other positions, such as bending over or squatting, and adjusting the straps as needed if they feel looser when you move.
- When the fun is done, follow the steps outlined below to clean your toy and pack it away until you’re ready for round 2.
Although using a butt plug harness will look different than most other anal toys, our extensive guide is full of need-to-know information on safe anal play practices.
How To Clean A Butt Plug Harness?
Maintaining the quality of your leather harness can be challenging as there is a laundry list of unsuitable products being marketed as natural leather cleaners that, if used, will permanently damage your accessory. [1]
The following tutorial outlines the best practices for keeping your harness and its appendages in usable condition for years to come.
- Start by removing the anal plugs and washing them according to their unique wash instructions, using a mild soap, and being sure not to fully submerge sex toys that aren’t completely waterproof.
- Once clean and rinsed free of soap and other residue, pat them with a clean towel and leave them to finish air drying.
- Don’t forget to wash your harness after every use. Doing so will not only improve its longevity but is also important since bacteria may be lingering on its surface.
- Dilute a leather-specific cleaner such as saddle soap—or simply a mild soap if you don’t have leather cleaner—into the water and wipe your harness down with a microfiber cloth (you don’t want it to be dripping wet).
- Finish it off by wiping it down with a wet cloth to remove any soapy residue and then hang it to dry before storing everything somewhere clean and cool.
- Although this step is not essential to safe harness use, it’s not a bad idea to apply protective creams or moisturizers periodically, depending on how much use your toy gets.
