That time again, thinking about getting a new harness before summer kicks in but with no shops within cooee I will have to order over the internet.

I have been using a mystic maui magic hana for a few years. Any girls have an opinion on the best ladies one available at the mo? I am an average girl-shape, not skinny, with lady lumps in the usual places.

Can't give a personal reco (being a geezer) but last years ions were really popular with the ladies, and this years gears looks awesome too! But go try all the harness's at all the local shops, and buy based on fit not price!

The lumps in usual places sounds attractive BUT thats hardly an adequate fit to get you pointed towards a harness that suits.
As Todd says you really have to try before you buy. Well worth a trip - however far - to get it right. The wrong harness (which may raved about by 10 others) will totally spoil your every session.
If you absolutely cant get in to try 1/2 a dozen different brands & styles then order one identical to you old one but even then the newer model of your old harness may not be a perfect fit.

I've been using a Flying Objects Minx the last season which was good, The Ion harnees do seem quite popular as well :)

Hi Ezza,

We designed the Flying Objects Minx with an outline specific to the female form.

Special attention has been paid to the side profile where the harness fits in the area between the hips and ribs. The Minx has a narrow outline with soft neoprene edges that allow maximum comfort while maintaining freedom of movement.

Also the back has a lower outline to ensure that the harness sits firmly against the small of the back, this is one region where women tend to feel discomfort after long sessions.

Other features like the bar pad, bar screws and pad lock down buckles ensure that the spreader bar and pad do not ride up.

Hope some of this helps, below is a little more information




Cheers,
Marco
