A butt plug harness is a style of strap on harness that allows you to use a butt plug without having to hold it, essentially wearing the butt plug.

The basic design of most butt plug harnesses features one strap that goes around the waist and then a second strap that runs between the legs. Some butt plug harnesses have cuffs that the butt plug fits into, others will have a metal ring, or simply a strap that holds the butt plug in place by virtue of where it is. Harnesses differ based on how the straps are adjusted, what they are made of (leather, rubber, nylon), and whether or not the harness offers other uses. For example some strap ons allow the wearer to have a butt plug in place and also have a dildo that sticks out the front to allow for penetration of a partner. Some butt plug harnesses made for bodies with penises come with a penis ring attachment.

Choosing a Butt Plug Harness

Butt plug harnesses are designed to get right up in your business, so generally the best way to choose a harness is based on your body. Harnesses that are made for men's bodies take into account a penis that can either get in the way or be featured (depending on your perspective). Harnesses made for bodies with vulvas may be designed so the straps don't get in the way of vaginal intercourse.

The other major consideration is what else you might want to do while wearing your butt plug harness. If you want something that is for extended butt plug wearing, you may want to get something that is going to be comfortable under your clothes and you might want something that won't be visible (on the other hand you might want it to be visible). If you want a harness you can wear while having sex with partners think about what will let you move in the ways you want to move, and of course you may have aesthetic considerations. Lastly, you may want a harness that doubles as both a dildo and a butt plug harness. Some harnesses are designed for this, but keep in mind that most g-string style harnesses will keep a butt plug in just fine.

For whatever reason, butt plug harnesses tend to be quite expensive. If you're handy you may want to try to make your own homemade sex toy harness.
