Verdict
A cheap, large hollow strap-on with a one-size elastic harness. The size and price appeal, but it's made of PVC, which is porous and can smell, so it's harder to keep clean than silicone. Use it with condoms, or spend more on a silicone hollow strap-on.
Who it's for
Choose this if…
Couples who want to try a large hollow strap-on on a tight budget and will use condoms on it.
Skip this if…
You want a body-safe, non-porous material, a moderate size, or a harness that takes other dildos.
The Fetish Fantasy 8” Hollow Strap-On is a cheap way to try a large hollow strap-on, but its PVC material is the big compromise. The dildo is 8 in long (about 7.5 in insertable) and 2 in wide, with a hollow inside about 6 in long and 1.5 in across, so it can be worn over the penis or by any partner. It comes with a one-size elastic harness for waists of roughly 26–46 in. It’s made of phthalate-free PVC, which is porous and can carry a smell, so use a condom on it. If you can spend more, a silicone hollow strap-on is easier to keep clean.

What it does well
It’s cheap. It’s one of the least expensive ways to try a hollow strap-on.
It’s big. If you want an 8 in, 2 in wide dildo, it delivers that size.
It works for different couples. The hollow design lets someone with a penis wear it over a soft or partly erect penis. A partner of any gender can also wear it with the harness.
It has a built-in harness. There’s nothing extra to buy or fit, and the elastic harness covers a wide range of waist sizes.
Where it falls short
It’s made of PVC. PVC is porous, so it can hold bacteria and odours even after washing, and it degrades faster than silicone. Retailers note that some smell is usual. We’d use condoms on it and replace it when it shows wear.
It’s large for beginners. At 2 in wide, it’s a lot for a first strap-on, especially for anal play or pegging. Start smaller if you’re new to strap-on play.
The inner fit is fixed. A 1.5 in inner diameter and 6 in inner length won’t suit every wearer.
The harness is basic. Elastic straps are quick to put on but less stable than an adjustable O-ring harness, and the dildo can’t be swapped.
The marketing. Listings sell it with size and erectile-dysfunction claims. A toy doesn’t treat ED, and persistent erection problems are worth raising with a doctor.
How to use and care for it
- Wash it before first use. A new PVC toy may smell at first.
- Put a condom on the shaft and use plenty of water-based lube.
- Adjust the elastic harness until the base sits snug against your pelvis.
- After use, wash inside and out with warm water and mild soap, then dry the hollow completely.
- Store it on its own, away from silicone toys and heat. Don’t boil it or put it in the dishwasher.

The verdict
The Fetish Fantasy 8” hollow strap-on gives you a lot of size for very little money, but PVC is the trade-off. If budget is the priority, buy it and use it with condoms. Otherwise, a silicone hollow strap-on or a harness with a silicone dildo is the better long-term buy.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Fetish Fantasy hollow strap-on body-safe?
It's sold as phthalate-free, but it's made of PVC (vinyl), which is porous and harder to clean thoroughly than silicone. Use a condom over it, especially if it's shared or used anally, and replace it if it gets sticky, cloudy or smelly.
Will it fit over my penis?
Retailers list an inner length of about 6 in and an inner diameter of about 1.5 in. If you're wider or longer than that, it won't fit comfortably. It's designed to be worn over a soft or partly erect penis.
Can I use it if I have erectile dysfunction?
Hollow strap-ons are marketed to people with erection difficulties, and some couples use them that way. A toy isn't a treatment, though. Persistent erection problems can be a sign of an underlying condition, so the NHS recommends seeing a GP.
What harness does it come with?
A one-size elastic harness that retailers say fits waists of about 26 to 46 in. The dildo is attached to it, so the harness can't be used with other toys.
How do I clean it?
Wash inside and out with warm water and mild soap, then dry the inside of the hollow shaft completely. Don't boil it or put it in a dishwasher. Store it away from silicone toys and out of the sun.
