For adults comparing strap-on dildos, the useful starting points are material, dimensions, harness fit and cleaning requirements. A product marketed “for men” does not establish the right size or a compatible harness. Choose from the actual specifications and the wearer’s measurements.
These three options cover two different purchases: a standalone silicone attachment for an existing compatible harness, or a kit supplied with its own harness. The Tantus Silk Small has the narrowest listed diameter here; the Silk Medium is wider and longer; the Sportsheets Saffron Silicone Pegging Kit includes an adjustable harness and one silicone attachment.
Three options at a glance
| Option | Exact selection | Manufacturer specifications | Main buying check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tantus Silk Small | One Lavender attachment, SKU 0121-95-TB | 100% silicone; 0.8-inch diameter; listed length 4.25 inches | Harness sold separately; confirm ring and base fit |
| Tantus Silk Medium | One Lavender attachment, SKU 0121-93-TC | 100% silicone; 1.1-inch diameter; listed length 5.25 inches | A different size from Small; confirm your harness accepts it |
| Sportsheets Saffron Silicone Pegging Kit | One kit, SKU SS48014 | Four-way adjustable harness for hips up to 60 inches; Please 5-inch silicone attachment | Check the full size and care information before purchase |
Lengths above use the wording on the current manufacturer product pages. Do not treat an unspecified “length” as an exact usable length, and do not confuse diameter with circumference.
1. Tantus Silk Small: a narrow standalone silicone option
Consider it if: you specifically want the smaller dimensions and already have, or plan to select, a compatible harness.
The selected version is Lavender, one item. Tantus lists 100% silicone, a 0.8-inch diameter and a 4.25-inch length. Its smooth, curved form and flared base are visible in the manufacturer’s product images. The Small is also included in Tantus’s own harness-kit range, but that does not establish compatibility with every third-party harness.
Tradeoff: this purchase does not include a harness. Confirm the required ring opening and base retention with the harness maker before ordering; the headline diameter alone is not a complete fit specification. A smaller product also does not guarantee comfort for every person.

2. Tantus Silk Medium: larger dimensions in the same simple form
Consider it if: its stated dimensions match what you want and you can verify the harness fit.
The selected version is Lavender, one item. Tantus explicitly labels the Medium harness compatible and lists 100% silicone, a 1.1-inch diameter and a 5.25-inch length. Compared with Small, it is 0.3 inch wider in listed diameter and one inch longer in listed length.
Tradeoff: “Medium” is a model name, not a universal size standard or a recommended next step. Its larger dimensions may require a different harness ring. Buy it because the measurements suit your requirements, rather than assuming a larger option is better.

3. Sportsheets Saffron Silicone Pegging Kit: harness and attachment together
Consider it if: you want the included harness and attachment in one package.
For SKU SS48014, Sportsheets specifies a four-way adjustable harness fitting hips up to 60 inches and its Please 5-inch silicone attachment. This avoids having to select a separate harness for the included attachment. The red-and-black harness shown on the maker’s page is part of this kit.
Tradeoff: “up to 60 inches” is an upper limit, not a complete fit chart. The product page does not provide a minimum hip measurement, a full attachment diameter specification or a universal replacement-ring compatibility range. Check those details if they affect your purchase. The two Tantus products above should not be assumed to fit this harness.
The attachment and harness also have different care needs. Follow each component’s instructions; the word “silicone” describes the attachment, not the whole kit.

How to check harness compatibility
- Measure the wearer: use the location specified by the harness maker, and check the complete adjustment range rather than relying on a clothing size.
- Match the attachment: ask the harness maker for the accepted ring size and base requirements for the exact model. “Harness compatible” does not mean compatible with every harness.
- Check what is included: a standalone attachment, a harness-only listing and a complete kit are different purchases.
- Check condition: inspect the attachment and harness for damage before use. Replace damaged components rather than relying on a tighter adjustment to compensate.
Lubricant and condom compatibility
A water-based lubricant is the practical starting point for these silicone options, subject to the exact product instructions. Tantus’s care guidance warns that silicone lubricant, including lubricant already on some condoms, can damage its toys. It suggests unlubricated condoms with a compatible water-based lubricant.
Check the condom and lubricant labels together. The NHS advises against oil-based lubricant with latex condoms. Although silicone lubricant can be compatible with latex condoms, that does not establish compatibility with a silicone toy. “Condom compatible” and “toy compatible” are separate checks.
Cleaning and storage
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact item. For the Silk products, Tantus describes washing with mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly and drying before storage. Keep them in a clean, lint-free container. Tantus also permits additional cleaning methods for suitable silicone products; check its instructions before using heat or any cleaning chemical.
Do not transfer a silicone attachment’s cleaning method to fabric straps, buckles or other components. For the Sportsheets kit, obtain the component-specific care instructions if they are missing from the package. A cleaner should be suitable for the material, and residue should be removed as its directions require.
NHS inform’s hygiene guidance recommends cleaning shared toys after use and using a new condom each time. Clean the item and change the barrier between users. Cleaning and barriers reduce risk; neither is a guarantee against infection.
Which option makes the most sense?
Choose Silk Small when its narrow measurements are your priority, or Silk Medium when its specific dimensions suit your requirements. Choose the Saffron kit when you want its included harness and attachment together and have checked the fit range. Allow for any separately needed harness, compatible lubricant and storage when comparing the total cost.
These products should not be treated as a solution for pain or a pelvic-health condition. Stop using an item that causes pain or irritation, and seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
