Sportsheets Plus Size Doggie Style Strap Review by Jessie
Sometimes in sex, you need help with some positions. It could be that you are not an acrobat or been in gymnastics class since grade school. Or it could be that your body is just not as flexible as it used to be.
In my case, it’s the fact that a disability and a fat body get in the way of easily getting into certain positions. I have cerebral palsy and an incomplete spinal cord injury (L 3-4). Having cerebral palsy can make it to where some positions are very easy to get into and others can be extremely difficult due to stiff muscles and joints that don’t bend as well. A spinal cord injury can make it even harder because of similar issues due to spasticity and the fact that you can’t feel your legs, torso, and/or arms, throwing off your balance. Trust me, the last thing you need is to topple over with a dildo in your vagina because you can’t plant yourself easily on the bed. Well, the sex fairies at Betty’s Toy Box sent me a solution to all of these issues: The Sportsheets Curvy Collection plus sized doggie-style strap!
This wonder strap may look basic when you first take it out of the box, but once you use it, you won’t know how you lived without it. This strap consist of 2 strong straps that are 11 inches at the smallest adjustment (it expanded up to 16 inches to comfortably fit my wrists) and a soft foam cushion in the middle that is made to provide cushioning for your partner. To use it for doggie style play, you basically adjust the straps to fit your wrists comfortably, and the foam cushion goes against your partners abdomen for comfort during doggie style play. The straps and cushion work together to help you enter through the backdoor easier, especially if you have issues with balance and muscle strength. For your partner, it helps you stay in a doggie style position comfortably and allows you to feel even more sensation internally. If you like anal play, this strap can make anal sex easier by controlling the depth of penetration.
One great thing about this strap is that it can be used 2 ways: as a standard
doggie style strap and a leg spreader strap. Just put the foam cushion behind your neck and adjust the straps to go around your ankle or arches of your feet. This helps keep your legs open for oral sex or if your partner uses a strap-on harness. It can also be attached to a sex collar and leash for submissive play. Talk about a product that can multitask!
I tried this product out with the help of my girlfriend and we both agree that it lives up to its name. Since we are both plus sized, this strap in the standard position made it a lot easier for us to use a strap-on harness for internal play. My girlfriend could easily adjust the straps to fit her wrists comfortably and make it easy to hold onto, rather than trying to reach my shoulders to help with depth control like she was doing before. I found that the foam cushion was comfortable on my belly and didn’t interfere with my two ostomy bags or feeding tube. We also tried using it to keep my legs open for oral sex. Again, it was a winner! Because of cerebral palsy, it is very hard for me to keep my legs open for very long, due to spasticity and fatigue. Using the straps on my ankles and having the cushion behind my neck (we adjusted it as much as we could for more comfort) helped keep my legs open wide enough for my girl to go down on me without my legs cramping up or becoming sore. I used it on my girlfriend with her in doggie style position and it made it a whole lot easier for me to use a strap on without losing my balance due to limited feeling in my legs and hips. I could pull on the wrist straps to thrust easily with her pushing back into me. My girlfriend said that the strap made hitting her g-spot a piece of cake.
Would I recommend the Sportsheets Curvy Collection Plus-Size Doggie Style Strap for couples wanting to enhance their lovemaking? YES! Its reasonably priced (one of the cheapest doggie style straps on the market), made of strong material, and is great for anyone with a disability. Now, get out there and have fun doing gymnastics in the bedroom, the easy way.
