Recycled harness (hot things to do with old bike tube)

Have you ever gotten sticker shock when you saw the price tag on that
harness that you saw in the store? Yup, I mean the kind of harnesses that us queer and kinky folk us when we want a little strap on action. Maybe it's time to learn how to make
your own. Btw, there's nothing explicit here, it's what you do with your toys that's a little on the rowdy side.

Step 1 Gather your tools

You will need:
One hammer
One pointy tool (knife or awl)
scissors
snap setter
snap setting anvil

i'm so glad i found this. i have a friend who used to make these at a skillshare but alas she moved before i could get a lesson. cheers.

[skotak]

Thank you! It feel super awesome and tight. really easy to do. It is little hard to adjust buckles, larger size buckles might fix that.

[nerdmom920]

Nice, I've been looking for a dildo harness, but nothing caught my fancy. Just make my own then.

[yar yorn]

very useful template. thanks for posting. the design also works (with minor adjustments) with cheap canvas strapping found in most hardware stores. when neither a sex shop or bike tube are available.

FYI, if you are using an awl or ice pick to punch the holes for your rivets, that could have something to do with the rubber tearing there. A better option would be to use a proper hole punch for the job.

You can get a cheap set of hole punches from most tool stores, or make your own out of a piece of old brake line.

A hole punch will cut a clean hole, where a solid object, no matter how sharp, tears its way through, creating areas of weakness around the hole. Once you start a tear in rubber, it just wants to keep tearing.

Also, "rubber cement" from the crafts store, as advertised, works quite well on rubber- it can reinforce your riveted areas, or be used to add a lining if the hardware becomes uncomfortable.

Finally, if you want to experiment with larger pieces of rubber for other... toys... some motorcycles (usually dirt bikes and cruisers with wire-spoke wheels) also use inner tubes... and these can be quite large and sturdy.

[mrtfor2008]

Buy a cheap tire repair kit and use the cement from that. It will work much better. I've used rubber cement and a patch to repair a bike tube in a pinch, and while it worked, the patch didn't last.

Some one needs to make one of them machines that people can attach their toys to and it gives the thrusting actions. I can't seem to find anything of the sort anywhere online, without paying high prices anyways. But thats what instructables is all about, gettin by, without the prices

[Sponzyparadox]

It is really easy man, the mechanism is like on the old steam train engines. Build a frame round that and you are good to go.

Try a jigsaw but reduce the ac voltage with a transformer down to about 40-50 volts to slow it down some or use a 120v light dimmer switch. take take the guide plate off the bottom, grind the teeth off an old blade. Drill a blade size hole down the center of a dildo, fill it with glue,(liquid nail) and insert the blade. When it is FULLY dry insert the other end of the blade in the jigsaw(or saws all) like normal. TEST IT FIRST, If its slow enough and sturdy then put it to use, AFTER WASHING IT...

[ljacts]

I can't imagine that such a machine would be very difficult to make. It couldn't take more than an electric motor. I've always thought that they looked kind of painful though, I mean it seems like there wouldn't be enough feedback. Maybe if you could figure out a way to vary the thrust depth and speed via remote. I don't know though. Anyway interesting thought let me know if you make one.

[jefletch]

I would love to try making one, but i am a computer geek, not a mechanic. I dont know crap about motors, gears and the like. If anyone needs a computerized one programmed, i could probably help, but im not gonna be able to make one, with out blueprints from some one else

I was reading this when my roomate read over the title over my shoulder and said "this guy is an idiot, you can't rappel with tha... nevermind." Now he's looking at me funny.

[Sponzyparadox]

I thought that for a minute to haha lol though that is what I was looking for though this is interesting haha.

[im_tux]

does that mean that people going rappeling go to the sex shop first?

[TheMadScientist]

im_tux, I suppose if your fetish is exploiting fear of heights, then yes!

[t3atr33]

it's for dildos babe

[t3atr33]

Do you think it can be used for a double ender or with two dildos put together using a coupler?

[julieruin]

WOW. This is amazing. My friend and I really want to start making this. You know you're the only tutorial we've found on inner tube strap-ons? Are there any other sources of info on it? Thanks!!!

[carpespasm]

"You know you're the only tutorial we've found on inner tube strap-ons?"

Somehow I don't find this too surprising.

[mindspread]

Thanks for this Instructable. I made one for my wife, she loves it. I did a few things different. I didn't have any snaps or rivets, so I glues and sewed. It's a lot sturdier than I thought it would be. I have a few modification ideas I may try later.

[ljacts]

I'm glad that the my instructions helped you out. It makes me happy to see people using these instructions and modifying them. If you have improvements or pictures we can collaborate and put them into the instructable. enjoy

[masterochicken]

This site needs more sexual content.

[ljacts]

You'll have to get that on your own. I'm just here to teach you to make the toys.

[masterochicken]

I'm starting a group.

[masterochicken]

Here it is!

[ljacts]

Hey, thanks for the praise, I unfortunately don't know of any other tutorials about it. Enjoy.

[medusaorange]

I'd love to try this. I only need to find a chick to play with. D=

[CASEmethod]

Nice! It's hard to find a good vegan harness. Is there any reason you can't use snaps around the O-ring so you can swap it out for different girths?

[ljacts]

I think that you may not have looked close enough. The harness I built does us snaps to hold the ring so that you can interchange it. Happy making.

[naught101]

what kind of rivets are you using? some kind of clothing rivets?

[ljacts]

Tandy leather no. 1273-12 rivets. Since I made this though, I have been thinking that it would be best to sew the points where I previously used rivets. That part never has to come apart, and the rivets tend to pull through after heavy use. They don't have a big enough flange to really hold well. I would now suggest a needle and thread.

[godbacon]

good job on the instructable.. I would think the back of the rivits and snaps would be a little cold on the skin ? or might grab a little hair. Have you thought of a way to cover them? great recycling .. Do you armor-all the rubber or anything to seal it?

[ljacts]

Hey, I hadn't ever thought about covering the snaps or rivets because they always warm up quickly for me, and because I don't have any hair to speak of where they ride, but that's a good point. I wonder if a little bit of shoe goo around the backs of the snaps would do the trick. Do you have any ideas? I could add a note about it if we come up with something good. I haven't used armorall or anything to seal the rubber, but that might be a good idea too might even make the harness a little more shiny. I worry about something like that being reactive with skin, latex or silicon though. Thanks for the comment.

[Fuzz2050]

Put an inner tube patch over them

[Robyntheslug]

Excellent idea! and good to see on instructables!

[meddler]

Tyra Banks would look good in this, me...not even close, besides i like things in working order, neat idea though.

[crapflinger]

innertubes are stinky too...hehe

[Robotrix]

Hey! that is a snazzy harness, and an excellent use of inner tube. Just the other day i was telling a friend that the uses for recycled tubes are ENDLESS. I'll pass this on : P.

[Crash2108]

Not a man's harness I don't think.

[CementTruck]

For a mere $19.95, plus shipping and handling, you too can reach those high notes with "The Soprano". Just pull the buckle back, and release. So easy it almost works itself. Dishwasher safe, no unsightly panty lines. Call now. Operators are standing by.
