What Is a Hollow Strap On and How Does This Product Work?

The hollow strap on from Pipedream's Fetish Fantasy Series is a thoughtfully designed intimate device that opens up penetrative possibilities for a wide range of couples. Whether you're navigating erectile difficulties, exploring pegging, or simply looking to add a new dimension to your sex life, this 7-inch device offers a practical and body-positive solution. At £39.99, it sits at an accessible price point without compromising on build quality or functionality. If you're also exploring other aspects of sexual wellness, our condoms and sexual health collection has a broad range of products to complement your needs.

The device features a realistic shaft measuring 7 inches in length, complete with a sculpted ball base for a lifelike appearance. It comes in a light/black colourway — the shaft in a skin-toned light shade and the harness in black — making it visually intuitive and easy to fit. The hollow interior accommodates the wearer's penis, while the adjustable harness straps ensure a secure, comfortable fit across a variety of body types.

How Does the Fetish Fantasy Hollow Strap On Function During Use?

Understanding how this device works helps you use it safely and confidently. Here's a straightforward breakdown of the mechanism:

The wearer inserts their penis into the hollow shaft, which then acts as an extension or support structure during penetrative sex.
For individuals with erectile dysfunction, the rigid hollow shaft maintains shape independently, removing reliance on a natural erection.
The adjustable harness straps wrap around the hips and thighs, holding the device securely in position throughout use.
For pegging — where a partner without a penis wears the device — the harness functions as a standalone strap-on, with the hollow shaft used as the penetrative element.
Water-based lubricant applied to the shaft reduces friction and enhances comfort for the receiving partner.

Who Is This Hollow Strap On Suitable For?

This product is designed with inclusivity in mind. It's suitable for a genuinely broad range of users and relationship dynamics. That said, it's worth thinking about whether it's the right fit for your specific situation before purchasing.

Individuals experiencing erectile dysfunction who wish to maintain penetrative intimacy with a partner.
Couples exploring pegging, where one partner wears the harness to penetrate the other.
Those in same-sex or gender-diverse relationships seeking a realistic penetrative device.
Anyone curious about strap-on play for the first time, thanks to the adjustable, beginner-friendly harness design.

It is not suitable for individuals with known allergies to PVC or the materials used in the harness straps. If you have sensitive skin or a history of contact dermatitis, consider patch-testing the material against your inner wrist before full use.

Adjustable harness included	Yes — fits a range of body types	Varies by product

Is This Product Suitable for People With Skin Sensitivities?

If you have sensitive skin, it's worth checking the material composition before use. The shaft of this hollow strap on is made from PVC, which is body-safe when used correctly but is porous — meaning thorough cleaning after every use is essential. The harness straps are made from a synthetic material that may cause chafing if worn too tightly or for extended periods. Applying a thin layer of skin-safe barrier cream around the harness contact points can help reduce irritation. If you experience persistent skin reactions, our skin care collection includes products that may help soothe minor irritation.

This product is a non-medicated intimate device, not a medicine. However, if you are using it to manage erectile dysfunction alongside other treatments, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before combining approaches.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

Specifications of Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Series 7" Hollow Strap-On with Balls

What Is the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Hollow Strap On and What Is It Used For?

The Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Series 7" Hollow Strap-On with Balls is a non-medicated intimate device designed to support penetrative sexual activity. It is used by individuals and couples for a variety of purposes, including managing the impact of erectile dysfunction on intimacy, exploring pegging, or simply expanding the range of sexual experiences available to them. The NHS acknowledges that erectile dysfunction can significantly affect relationships and emotional wellbeing, and devices like this one offer a non-pharmacological option for maintaining intimacy.

The device is not a medicine and does not treat any underlying medical condition. It is a physical aid — one that works mechanically rather than biologically. If erectile dysfunction is a concern for you, it is always worth speaking to your GP, as there may be underlying cardiovascular or hormonal causes that warrant investigation.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using This Hollow Strap On?

Before using this product, please read the following carefully. While it is a general-sale intimate device, there are important considerations to keep in mind.

Do not use this product if:

You have a known allergy or sensitivity to PVC or synthetic harness materials.
You or your partner have open wounds, sores, or active skin infections in the areas of contact.
You experience significant pain during penetrative activity — consult a healthcare professional first.
You are under 18 years of age.

Warnings and precautions:

Always use a water-based lubricant — oil-based or silicone-based lubricants can degrade PVC materials over time.
Inspect the device before every use. Discard if cracks, tears, or surface degradation are visible.
Do not share this device between partners without thorough cleaning, or use a condom over the shaft as a barrier.
Ensure harness straps are adjusted to a comfortable, secure fit — straps that are too tight may restrict circulation.

Known interactions:

No drug interactions — this is a non-medicated device.
If using alongside topical medications (e.g. creams for skin conditions), ensure the treated area is not in direct contact with the device material.

How Should You Use the Fetish Fantasy Hollow Strap On Correctly?

Using this device correctly is important for both comfort and safety. Take your time, especially if this is your first experience with a strap-on harness. Communication with your partner throughout is key.

Remove the device from its packaging and clean the shaft thoroughly with warm water and mild soap before first use.
Apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the inside and outside of the hollow shaft.
If using as a hollow extension, insert the penis into the shaft carefully before securing the harness.
Adjust the harness straps around the hips and thighs until the device feels secure but not uncomfortably tight.
Apply additional lubricant to the exterior of the shaft before penetrative use.
After use, remove the harness and clean all components thoroughly. Allow to dry fully before storing.

Use Case	User Type	Recommended Approach	Lubricant Required
ED support	Adults with erectile difficulties	Insert penis into hollow shaft, secure harness	Yes — water-based
Pegging	Partner without a penis	Wear harness, use hollow shaft as penetrative element	Yes — water-based
General strap-on play	Any adult	Adjust harness to fit, use with lubricant	Yes — water-based

If you're looking for compatible lubricants, our personal lubricants collection includes a range of water-based options suitable for use with this device.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Using This Strap On?

As with any intimate device, there are potential side effects to be aware of. Most are mild and preventable with correct use.

Common side effects:

Skin chafing or redness at harness contact points.
Mild irritation or soreness for the receiving partner, particularly with insufficient lubrication.
Temporary discomfort if the harness is worn too tightly.

Less common side effects:

Allergic contact dermatitis in individuals sensitive to PVC or synthetic strap materials.
Bruising or soreness if used too vigorously without adequate preparation.
Urinary tract discomfort in the receiving partner — if this persists, visit our cystitis and bladder infection section for relevant support products.

If you experience a severe allergic reaction — including significant swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing — seek emergency medical attention immediately.

How Should You Store This Product Safely?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Keep in a clean, sealed bag or storage pouch to prevent dust accumulation.
Do not store in contact with other PVC or rubber toys, as materials can react and degrade over time.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not store in a damp environment such as a bathroom cabinet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy hollow strap on in the UK?

You can buy the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Series 7" Hollow Strap-On with Balls directly from Cured Pharmacy for £39.99. It is available online with discreet packaging and fast UK delivery. Cured Pharmacy is a GPhC-registered online pharmacy, so you can shop with confidence.

How does a hollow strap on work differently from a regular strap on?

Unlike a solid strap-on dildo, a hollow strap on has an open interior that accommodates the wearer's penis inside the shaft. This means the wearer can experience sensation during use while the shaft provides structural support for penetration. It is particularly useful for individuals with erectile dysfunction who want to maintain penetrative intimacy.

Is the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy strap on suitable for beginners?

Yes, this product is suitable for beginners. The adjustable harness straps make it easy to achieve a comfortable fit, and the 7-inch shaft is a manageable size for those new to strap-on play. Starting slowly, using plenty of water-based lubricant, and communicating openly with your partner will make the experience more comfortable.

What lubricant should I use with this hollow strap on?

Always use a water-based lubricant with this product. Oil-based and silicone-based lubricants can degrade PVC materials over time, potentially causing the shaft to become sticky or crack. You can find a range of compatible options in our personal lubricants collection.

How do I clean and maintain the Fetish Fantasy hollow strap on?

Clean the hollow shaft with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a dedicated sex toy cleaner after every single use. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue, then allow the device to air-dry completely before storing. The harness straps should be wiped down with a damp cloth and dried fully before storage.

Can this strap on help with erectile dysfunction?

Yes, hollow strap ons are specifically designed to assist individuals experiencing erectile dysfunction by providing a rigid external structure that enables penetrative sex without relying on a natural erection. This can be a meaningful way to maintain intimacy in a relationship. The NHS recommends speaking to your GP about erectile dysfunction, as it can sometimes indicate an underlying health condition.

What are the possible side effects of using a strap on harness?

The most common side effects include skin chafing or redness at the harness contact points, mild irritation from insufficient lubrication, and temporary soreness if the harness is worn too tightly. Less commonly, individuals with PVC or synthetic material sensitivities may experience contact dermatitis. Stop use and consult a pharmacist or GP if irritation persists.

How do I adjust the harness for a comfortable fit?

The harness features adjustable straps that wrap around the hips and thighs. Loosen all straps fully before putting the harness on, then tighten gradually until the device feels secure without restricting movement or circulation. You should be able to fit two fingers beneath the straps comfortably — if you cannot, loosen them slightly.

Is it safe to use a condom over the hollow strap on shaft?

Yes, using a condom over the shaft is a sensible precaution, particularly if sharing the device between partners or if either partner has a sexually transmitted infection. It also makes cleaning easier after use. Choose a condom that fits the shaft diameter comfortably to avoid it slipping during use. You can find suitable options in our condoms and sexual health collection.

What is pegging and can this product be used for it?

Pegging refers to a sexual practice where a partner without a penis wears a strap-on harness to penetrate their partner anally or vaginally. Yes, this product is suitable for pegging — the harness secures the hollow shaft in place, and the hollow interior simply remains unused in this context. Ample lubrication and gradual progression are especially important for anal pegging.

How long can you use a hollow strap on for in a single session?

There is no fixed time limit, but you should stop immediately if either partner experiences pain, significant discomfort, or numbness. Harness straps worn for extended periods can restrict circulation, so take breaks and readjust as needed. Always prioritise comfort and open communication with your partner throughout.

How long will the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy strap on last before needing replacement?

With proper cleaning, drying, and storage, this product can last for a considerable period. However, PVC is a porous material that degrades over time, particularly if exposed to heat, sunlight, or incompatible lubricants. Inspect the shaft before every use and replace the product if you notice any cracking, stickiness, or surface deterioration.

What are the alternatives to the Pipedream hollow strap on?

Alternatives include solid strap-on dildos (which do not accommodate the wearer's penis), vibrating strap-on devices, and strapless strap-ons that are held in place by the wearer's body rather than a harness. The Pipedream Fetish Fantasy hollow design is unique in offering dual functionality — supporting both ED-related use and standard pegging play in one product.

What are the latest insights on using intimate devices for erectile dysfunction support?

The NHS recognises that erectile dysfunction can have a significant psychological and relational impact, and non-pharmacological aids — including external devices — are considered a valid part of managing intimacy for affected couples. Research published in sexual medicine literature supports the use of mechanical aids as part of a broader approach to sexual rehabilitation. Always discuss options with your GP or a sexual health specialist for personalised guidance.

Who is eligible to buy this hollow strap on from Cured Pharmacy?

This product is available for purchase by any adult aged 18 or over in the UK. No prescription is required. It is not suitable for individuals under 18, and it should not be used by anyone with a known allergy to PVC or the synthetic materials used in the harness. If you have any health concerns related to its use, speak to your pharmacist before purchasing.

How Should You Use the Pipedream Fetish Fantasy Hollow Strap On?

Using this device correctly ensures both comfort and safety for you and your partner. Before your first use, clean the hollow shaft thoroughly with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap, then allow it to dry completely.

What Is the Correct Way to Size and Fit This Product?

This is not a medicated product, so there is no clinical dose in the traditional sense. However, correct sizing and fit are essential for safe, comfortable use. The table below outlines recommended use by context.

When Is the Best Time to Use This Hollow Strap On?

There is no medically prescribed time of day for using this product. Use it whenever it feels right for you and your partner, ensuring you are both relaxed, comfortable, and have communicated your expectations beforehand. Taking time to apply lubricant generously before use — rather than rushing — significantly improves comfort for both partners.

If you are using this device as part of managing erectile dysfunction, you may find it helpful to use it during times when you feel least anxious or pressured, as psychological factors can influence the experience. The NHS notes that stress and anxiety are common contributors to erectile difficulties.

How Long Can You Use This Product For?

There is no set limit on how long you can continue using this product, provided it remains in good condition and causes no discomfort. Inspect the shaft and harness before every use — if you notice any cracking, stickiness, discolouration, or material degradation, replace the product immediately. PVC devices typically have a lifespan of one to two years with proper care, though this varies depending on frequency of use and storage conditions.

If either partner experiences persistent soreness, irritation, or discomfort after use, take a break and allow the skin to recover before using the device again. Speak to a pharmacist or GP if symptoms do not resolve within a few days.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. If in doubt, speak to your pharmacist.

What Are the Most Common Side Effects of Using This Hollow Strap On?

Most people use this product without experiencing significant side effects, particularly when it is used correctly with adequate lubrication and a well-fitted harness. That said, some mild effects can occur, especially during initial use.

Skin redness or chafing at the harness strap contact points on the hips and thighs.
Mild soreness or friction-related irritation for the receiving partner, usually due to insufficient lubrication.
Temporary discomfort or pressure if the harness straps are fastened too tightly.
Minor bruising if the device is used too vigorously without adequate preparation.

These effects are generally short-lived and resolve on their own. Using a generous amount of water-based lubricant and ensuring the harness is correctly adjusted before use will significantly reduce the likelihood of these issues occurring.

What Are the Less Common Side Effects of This Product?

Less commonly, some individuals may experience reactions related to the materials used in the device. These are more likely in people with pre-existing skin sensitivities or allergies.

Allergic contact dermatitis — presenting as a red, itchy, or blistered rash at the point of skin contact with the PVC shaft or synthetic harness straps.
Urinary discomfort in the receiving partner following use, particularly after anal or vaginal penetration without sufficient lubrication.
Numbness or tingling in the thighs if the harness straps are worn too tightly for an extended period, potentially restricting circulation.

If you develop a rash or skin reaction, stop using the product immediately and allow the skin to recover. A mild, fragrance-free moisturiser may help soothe minor irritation.

What Are the Serious Side Effects to Watch Out For?

Serious side effects are rare with this type of product when used as directed. However, you should seek medical attention promptly if you experience any of the following:

Significant swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing — these may indicate a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) and require emergency medical care.
Persistent or worsening pain during or after use that does not resolve with rest.
Signs of infection at any skin contact site, including increased warmth, swelling, pus, or fever.

These reactions are uncommon but should never be ignored. If in doubt, contact NHS 111 or visit your nearest urgent treatment centre.

What Should You Do If You Experience Side Effects?

For mild side effects such as chafing or minor irritation, stop use temporarily and allow the affected area to heal. Applying a fragrance-free barrier cream to harness contact points before future use can help prevent recurrence. If urinary discomfort develops after use, staying well hydrated and urinating promptly after sexual activity may help reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection.

For any side effect that is severe, persistent, or worsening, contact your GP or pharmacist. Do not continue using the product until you have sought advice.

Can This Product Interact With Other Products or Medicines?

This is a non-medicated device and has no known drug interactions. However, if you are using any topical medications — such as creams for skin conditions or antifungal treatments — on areas that will come into contact with the device, allow the medication to absorb fully before use. Some topical products may degrade PVC materials or cause unexpected skin reactions when combined with device contact. If you are unsure, speak to your pharmacist before use.

If you are concerned about any side effects, contact your pharmacist or GP immediately.
