Heavy leather harnesses with D-rings are geared more toward advanced users. When engaging in BDSM, always agree on a safeword with your partner.

How do I fit a harness correctly?

Adjust the straps one by one to the desired tension—tight enough to stay in place but not so tight that it pinches. Start with the torso straps and then move on to the shoulder straps and any leg straps. After adjusting, check that all buckles are securely fastened. Check periodically to ensure circulation is not restricted.

How do I clean a leather harness?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Then treat with leather conditioner for maintenance. Never wash or put in the dryer. Store hanging or rolled up—never folded over the metal buckles, as they leave indentations in the leather. Allow to dry completely before storing.
