Reviewing the Rodeoh harness from Babeland

Roxy and I met Rachel Venning (Babeland co-owner) on Friday at Butch Voices and didn’t see her again for the rest of the weekend.  If we had, we would have thanked her, on behalf of her company, for sending me the Rodeoh harness to review.  It made a special appearance during one of our ‘breaks’ during the conference:

Fun for both of us

This harness is simple, comfortable, easy and sexy.  When I first mounted up, I was a bit concerned about the placement of the cock base.  My regular harness is a Jaguar, which places the cock base on my clit, and I’ve become accustomed to how easily I can get off with that placement.  My next concern was that the O-Ring was not interchangeable, and wondered how well it would secure cocks of various diameters.  And finally, I was concerned about how the cock would ‘handle’ in that harness.  Control and accurate placement are a must when one is getting hot and heavy.

None of those concerns turned out to be of any merit.  The fit was great, snug and comfy as a pair of briefs.  That great fit held the cock in place and I had no sensation that it was pulling away from my body on the out-stroke.  We started with a cock diameter smaller than the O-Ring, but again, that was no issue.  The cock stayed right where it started.  The difference in position relative to my mound was also not a problem. Even though the base was an inch or so above my clit, it felt really good and I got off easily while making love to Roxy.

Both Roxy and I noticed that the change in cock position did alter our approach and stroke a bit.  It’s not a huge downside, just something to be aware of if you’ve gotten accustomed to positioning offered by other harnesses.

A huge plus, and a feature touted by Babeland, is ease-of-use.  Putting the Rodeoh harness on is as easy as slipping on your underwear.  Frustrated that having to take time to adjust and tighten your harness straps breaks the mood?  Try the Rodeoh.  Share a harness with your partner but have to readjust for each of you? With the Rodeoh, it’ll take just a moment to switch off and be back in action again.

Feeling guilty that you don’t give your leather harness the love and care it deserves between uses (*raises hand*), the Rodeoh goes into the wash with the rest of your clothes.  And though there is a warning about shrinkage if you run it through the dryer, you could just buy slightly large and not worry about it.  Mine has been through a full wash and dry cycle and is none the worse for it.

Specifications:

• XS: 23″-26″ hip
• Small: 25″-29″ hip
• Medium: 30″-34″ hip
• Large: 34″-37″ hip
• XL: 37″-40″ hip
• O-ring: 1-1/4″-2″ diameter (stretch)
• Material: Cotton, Spandex
• Machine- or hand-wash cold (hang to dry; dryer will shrink harness up to one size)

I really like Rodeoh, though it’s hard to think of it as a harness.  It’s a cock-brief, or perhaps a cock-holder 😉 .  The Rodeoh is comfortable, easy to pull on, holds a strap-on cock securely in place and looks damned sexy.  The only downsides are that the O-Ring might be too small or large to accommodate some of your cocks.  Though the specs say it will stretch to 2″, my Mr. Bendy – shown in the picture – is 1 1/2″ thick and took some work to pull into that ring.  Another potential issue is placement.  I was able to adjust my stroke and focus my pleasure to that different position, but others may find that transition difficult.

At $45, it’s about half as expensive as a black Jaguar, but it remains to be seen how long the elastic and structure of the brief will hold out.  I think it’s still worth the price, especially if you are frustrated with the time it takes to get in and out of traditional harnesses, and it’s definitely a great purchase for couples who like to share in the strap-on fun.

For comfort, utility, ease-of-use, good looks and price, the Rodeoh harness gets 5 boots from me.
