XtoysLoving Joy Universal Black Harness Review: A Flexible Starter
Editor's opinion
The Loving Joy Universal Black Harness is a straightforward, adjustable harness that lets you supply and swap your own dildo, making it a sensible first step into strap-on play. The main caveat is that the dildo and bullet are not included, so budget for those as well.
A harness is one of those purchases where the appeal is precisely that it does not commit you to anything. Rather than buying a fixed dildo-and-strap set, a universal harness lets you choose the toy, change it whenever you like, and build up a small collection that works with a single piece of kit.
The Loving Joy Universal Black Harness sits firmly in that camp. It offers adjustable straps, two interchangeable O-rings and a front pocket for a bullet vibrator. What a buyer needs to weigh is what arrives in the box, what does not, and whether the flexibility is worth the extra shopping.
The good and the bad

What to be aware of

Buy it if
Couples of any gender who want a flexible, affordable way into strap-on play and prefer to choose their own dildo. It also suits anyone who already owns a compatible dildo and wants a harness to pair with it.
Skip it if
Anyone wanting an all-in-one set that works straight from the box, or someone after a rigid, heavy-duty harness for a very large toy. If you want zero extra shopping, look for a matched harness-and-dildo kit instead.
Design And Materials
This is a wearable hip harness secured by adjustable straps, with an O-ring at the front that holds your chosen dildo in place. The universal design is the key point: it is a mounting system rather than a complete toy, which is why the dildo is supplied by you.
The adjustable straps are intended to suit a range of body shapes, which is what makes a single harness workable for different wearers. Because harnesses like this are typically fabric-and-strap constructions, they rely on the straps being cinched firmly to stay stable during use, so it is worth taking a moment to get the fit snug before you begin.
O-Rings And The Bullet Pocket
Two interchangeable O-rings are included, and this matters more than it might first appear. The ring diameter determines which dildos will actually sit securely, so having two sizes gives you room to switch between a slimmer and a fuller toy. Before buying a dildo to go with it, check the base diameter against the rings you have.
The front pocket is designed to hold a bullet vibrator so the wearer gets clitoral stimulation while leading. That bullet is not included, so if you want that feature you will need a compatible bullet of your own. It is a thoughtful addition, but treat it as an optional extra rather than something the harness does on its own.
Fit, Care And What Else You'll Need
No power is required for the harness, so there is nothing to charge or replace on that front, though any bullet you add will have its own battery or charging needs. The listing quotes packaging dimensions of 310mm by 210mm rather than fitted measurements, so plan on adjusting the straps to your body rather than expecting a fixed size.
Cleaning is a wipe-clean-and-dry job following the manufacturer's guidance, and full drying before storage is important with any fabric harness to keep it fresh. Store it somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. One practical note on lubricant: if you pair this with a silicone dildo, use a water-based lubricant, as silicone lube can degrade silicone toys.
How It Compares
The obvious alternative is a complete strap-on set where a dildo is fixed or matched to the harness. Those are simpler to buy and use immediately, but they lock you into one shape and size. A universal harness like this trades that convenience for long-term flexibility.
Compared with premium leather or heavy-buckled harnesses, this is pitched as an accessible, uncomplicated option. If you are new to strap-on play and unsure what you will enjoy, that lower-commitment approach is a reasonable place to start, provided you are happy to buy a dildo and bullet alongside it.
The bottom line
As a flexible, beginner-friendly harness, the Loving Joy Universal Black Harness does the essentials well: two O-rings, adjustable straps and a handy bullet pocket. Just go in knowing you are buying a mounting system, not a complete kit, and factor a compatible dildo and bullet into your plans before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
Does the harness come with a dildo?
No. The dildo and bullet vibrator are not included. The harness supplies the straps and two interchangeable O-rings, and you choose your own dildo to fit one of those rings.
How do I know which dildos will fit?
Two O-rings of different diameters are included, and the ring size sets the limit. Before buying a dildo, check its base diameter against the O-rings so it sits securely without slipping through or being too tight to fit.
Will it fit different body shapes?
The straps are adjustable and designed to suit a range of body shapes. As with any strap harness, getting the straps cinched snugly before play is what keeps it stable, so take a moment to adjust the fit each time.
What lubricant should I use?
That depends on the dildo you pair it with. If you choose a silicone dildo, stick to a water-based lubricant, as silicone lubricant can damage silicone toys. Check the material of your chosen dildo and follow its guidance.
How do I clean and store it?
Wipe the harness clean after use following the manufacturer's guidance, allow it to dry fully, and store it somewhere cool and dry away from direct sunlight. Any bullet or dildo you use with it should be cleaned separately according to their own instructions.
