So far, I've been happy with the Fantasy Elite. It is made of soft, comfortable fabric that doesn't rub or chafe uncomfortably against my skin; it's very adjustable, so that I can get a snug fit and proper positioning; and it works basically the way I expect it to. The side straps are wide, and almost the entire length is velcro—so this harness will accommodate almost every woman, from the most petite to a much fuller figure. The strap that goes between the legs is also adjustable (with snaps—smart, because imagine the way that velcro might rub you the wrong way down there!), and is much thinner.
The front of the harness, which holds a dildo or other insert, works great. There's a sort of "fly" or folded cloth behind it that will let you insert a dildo from the back, then cover it over so that it is not pressing directly against your skin. This is nice, and an improvement (for us) over other harnesses that allow bare contact—at least once using the Menage a Trois, for example, I found a saint, hickey-like mark on my belly from the suction cup of a dildo! At the same time, the Fantasy Elite holds a dildo firmly against the body (when the straps are properly adjusted), and gives good control for thrusting. The cloth is smooth and satiny, but I'm almost certain it is a synthetic material. It seems strong and durable.
Which brings me to a bit of an aside: one thing that ladies who are new to strap-ons will find is that it takes a bit of getting used to the motions of it all. At least for me, I wasn't used to swiveling my hips in the way that men do, and in the way that I must if I want to peg my hubby the way he expects me to do. I found that I was moving my whole body, instead of just my hips, and it was tiring me out. On the other hand, a friend who dances a lot told me that she finds the pelvic thrusting action very natural, because of her dancing experience—and thus finds wearing and using a strap-on to be something like a dance. So your mileage may vary, as they say, but it's something to keep in mind.
In use, this harness has been a great improvement for me, over the Menage a Trois: it is more comfortable, and it fits more closely and snugly against my body without digging into my skin as the Menage a Trois straps sometimes do when I've cinched them down. I like how solidly a dildo is held against my pelvis; I feel like I have a good bit of control both in thrusting forward and pulling back.
We use water-based lubes mainly, so clean-up has been simple—even though any lube can leave some residue on cloth like this. I've just tossed it in the washer and hung it to dry; I don't know if you could put it in the dryer, but I treat it like my other "delicates." Coming out of the wash, it looks as good as new no matter how much lube (and other juices) have gotten on it! It seems like it is solidly made and built to last, but it's almost hard to believe that something for this price will take the punishment that we will give it for very long. I'm especially concerned about the durability of the synthetic cloth on the front.
I really like the Pipedream Products Fetish Fantasy Series Elite Universal Breathable Harness and, in rating it, give it four out of five "Os"—I reserve judgment on the fifth "O" until I see how it holds up over the long haul. (And if you like this review, check out all of My Reviews.)
