The 13 Best BDSM Harnesses for Stylish Sexiness
How Did I Choose and Test These BDSM Harnesses?
Having written 500+ reviews as a company, the experts at Bedbible (including myself) know what makes a good quality BDSM harness, from the materials, to the fastenings and how it’s used. I’ve spent over 30 hours researching and writing about the harnesses in this post to make sure I’m bringing you only the best!
I also know that everyone needs something slightly different from their kinky harness, which is why I’ve included a range of different options and always tell you who it’s best suited and what activities you can enjoy in your harness.
Things to Consider when Shopping for a BDSM Harness
- Harness Materials: Leather is a popular option for BDSM harnesses both for its strength and its style. Its a great investment if you want a harness that will last for a long time but it does take a little more upkeep. Stretchy fabric harnesses are often machine washable and tend to be cheaper and easier to move in making them great for beginners but not great for restraint play.
- Restraint Compatibility: If you are shopping for harness that will let you lock your lover up tightly while you toy with them, make sure to look for a harness that comes with restraints or has plenty of D or O-rings to attach your own.
- Size: Most harnesses have some level of adjustability but you should always measure yourself to check you are getting the right size before you order.
- Style: While black leather is the standard look for a BDSM harness, that doesn’t have to be the case! I have a few in this review that stray from that in favor of a more playful design!
The test winner dominated this review with its super sexy design and play potential!
FAQ
What is a BDSM Harness?
A BDSM harness is a strappy harness, usually worn by a Sub during a BDSM scene. They often have O-rings or D-rings on the collar and body so you can attach different restraints to limit your subs movement or add a leash for leading them around on. Some have built in restraints, like handcuffs or added extras, like nipple or labia clamps. Leather and vegan leather are popular materials as they are strong and fit well with the BDSM aesthetic but there are also other fabric harnesses, which are more beginner friendly. As well as using BDSM harnesses in the bedroom, they have also become a statement piece to wear over your clothes.

Beginner-friendly Seductive deep red colorUnisex designOpen crotch & open cup designStretchy design not suitable for strong restraintOnly available in redOnly fits up to 12 US dress size This harness looks incredibly sexy without being too hardcore bondage. The open cup and crotch design means you can leave the harness on while you play without sacrificing any stimulation. The straps are also slightly stretchy so you won’t feel as confined as you would in a leather harness and it’s a little easier to move around. This does mean it won’t stand up to more intense restraint play but if you are looking for a first bdsm body harness, this one ticks all the boxes! My only complaint is that it’s only available up to a US dress size 12, so won’t be suitable for those in larger bodies. I do however have some other great options with better sizing options in this review, and I’ve got a stunning plus size option coming up!

Strong vegan leather4 D-rings for other restraintsSuitable for a Domme or SubAdjustableWon't fit larger bodiesFairly priceyWhether you are a Domme or a Sub, this boob harness delivers a serious look! The thick, vegan leather straps are powerful and perfect for a restraint play that get’s a little rougher. The under boob harness design really makes your boobs the stars of the show — perfect for pairing with some nipple clamps or suckers or just letting your partner play! It’s a shame there’s only one size available, and although the straps are adjustable, this harness won’t fit larger bodies. Given the more expensive price, I would recommend this harness to anyone who has some experience with bondage harnesses but is looking to level up to a more serious, higher quality harness.
Oh and if the black doesn’t suit your style, it also comes in a gorgeous baby pink version!
