A double sided (or double ended) strapon — sometimes called a double dick dildo, double headed dildo, or double dong — is a specific type of dildo with an insertable end at both sides instead of just one — and it can be used two different ways. Held freehand, both ends can be used simultaneously between two partners without any harness at all, a style sometimes described as double dildo riding. With one end secured into a harness, it functions as a standard strap-on for the wearer while the other end remains available for penetration, which is why you'll see the same product described as both a “double dildo” and a “double-ended strap-on” depending on how it's being used.

How to Choose the Right Double Sided Strapon

1. Harness-compatible or freehand only? If you plan to wear one end in a harness, confirm the shaft on that side has a flat or harness-appropriate base — not every double-ended design is built for this.
2. Straight or curved. A straight design works well for mutual, side-by-side use; a curved design is often preferred for pegging or angled penetration on one end.
3. Length and total size. Double-ended designs are longer overall than a standard single dildo — check total length against how it will actually be used, since this differs from sizing a standard dildo.
4. Anal-specific or standard. Some double-ended designs are built specifically for anal use on one or both ends and require the same flared-base consideration as any other anal toy.

Types of Double Sided Strapons

• Standard double-ended dildos — straight, symmetrical designs for mutual, freehand use between two partners, often marketed for the dual or mutual pleasure they offer
• Double-ended strap-on compatible designs — include a harness-appropriate base on one end for wearer use, with the other end available for a partner
• Curved double-ended designs — angled for pegging or more targeted internal stimulation on one end
• Realistic double-headed designs — a lifelike penis shape at each end rather than a simplified or non-phallic form
• Anal-specific double-ended designs — built with proper flared-base consideration for anal use on one or both ends

Materials & Safety

Look for 100% body-safe silicone, which matters especially here since a double-ended design often sees more varied use than a standard dildo. If either end will be used for anal play, it needs the same flared-base safety requirement as any other anal toy — this doesn't relax just because the piece is shared or dual-purpose. If the same toy will be used by both partners, either clean thoroughly between switching ends and users, or use a fresh condom on each end to avoid cross-contact.

Comparing Your Options

Common Mistakes First-Time Buyers Make

• Assuming any double-ended dildo works with a harness. Confirm the specific base design before assuming harness compatibility.
• Not cleaning between ends and users. This matters more than with a single-use toy, precisely because it's designed for shared, dual use.
• Overlooking total length. Double-ended designs are longer overall — factor this into sizing decisions rather than judging by single-end length alone.
• Skipping the flared base check for anal-oriented ends. This safety requirement doesn't change just because the toy serves multiple purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a double sided dildo be used without a harness?
Yes — this is the standard freehand use case, with both ends used simultaneously between two partners without any harness involved.

What's the difference between a double dildo and a double-ended strap-on?
They're often the same physical product — “strap-on” describes the use case where one end is secured in a harness, while “double dildo” typically describes freehand, mutual use.

Can a double-ended dildo be used for pegging?
Yes, particularly curved designs built with pegging in mind. See our Pegging Dildo collection for more options built specifically for this.

Is a double-ended dildo safe for anal use?
Only if the specific end being used has a proper flared base — this requirement applies regardless of the toy's dual-purpose design.
