Tantus makes great quality toys. I just wish they would go above and beyond everyone else with their designs. Just add something that sets themselves apart from the rest of the pack. I feel quality alone does not do it. This is a good dildo, just not a great one.

Pros
Tantus quality, comes with a bullet, just the right size for me.
Cons
Too small for the wife, kind of boring, weak vibrations.
This dildo can be used for just about anything you could think of using it for in the bedroom. Self pleasure, couple play, pegging, ect.. It has a flared base for use with a harness, and the base makes it safe for hands on anal play. It is water proof and can be used just about anywhere. This is a beautiful high quality dildo that can work with your wildest imagination.
With that being said, this doe snot work for g-spot or p-spot pleasure. Yes, it is slightly curved; but it does not provide any pleasure to those spots. But don't let that keep you from purchasing this dildo. Tantus makes some of the highest quality silicone dildos sold on this site.
This is made from 100% silicone. It is smooth and semi-firm. Silicone does not have a smell or taste to it. And because silicone is non porous, it will never pick up a scent or taste regardless of where you put it. It has a flared base, and is safe to use anally or with a harness.
Silicone toys should never be used with silicone lube. The lube might react with the silicone and damage your toy. So only use water based lube. Or you could put a condom over your dildo and then use silicone lube. But beware, some condoms use silicone lube. So stick with a un-lubercated condom.
This dildo is pretty firm. It can be bent in half with some effort. It is no were close to the flexibility of a vixskin dildo. It is firm and dense.
This is a typical design for a dildo. It is 7 inches long and about 6 1/2 inches of that is insertable. It has a slight curve at the end. I am guessing they curved this to hit the g-spot during use. It does not work like designed though. This has never hit my wife's g-spot or my p-spot in all the times we have used it. The diameter is about 1 1/4 inches. This is the perfect diameter for me, too small for the wife. She likes something in the 1 1/2 to 1 5/8 inch range. Like stated above, it has a flared base for o-ring use. So if you have a favorite harness, this will work with it.
I feel this is more for beginners, as the size and shape are pretty boring and non threatening. Don't get me wrong, as we are no beginners. And I use this all the time. I just feel this would be a good toy for a beginner to start with when dipping their toes into the sex toy world, either for their selves or for their partners. If you have never tried pegging before and are looking at maybe giving it a try; this would be a good dildo to start with. This one or the small silk, which would be a good warm up toy to this.
This preforms well. It is stiff enough to make insertion a breeze. It is flexible enough to not cause any pain during use. The bullet vibrator is a little on the weak side, but can be changed out for any other bullet vibrator of the same size. The flared base worked well in our harness. It stayed put and never came loose.
The smaller size of this dildo make it more of a anally toy for us. It is too small for the wife to enjoy. She loves her goodfella, and this is no goodfella. But it works great for pegging. Just the right size. Not to thick or long. The silicone has some drag to it, but add enough lube and just about anything can be slippery.
The only feature that this dildo has going for it is the insertable vibrator. And they are not the only dildo on the market with this feature. Yes, Tantus toys are high quality. But they need features to set them apart from the crowd. And quality alone wont do it. A nicer more powerful vibrator then everyone else might do it, but the one that comes with the dildo is just a cheap bullet that is not very powerful. A dual layer silicone would make it heads over heels above everyone else. I don't know, maybe my hopes are just set too high.
Because this is made from silicone, taking care of it is pretty easy. You have many different options for cleaning it before and after use. My favorite is to just wash it in warm water with some soap. But you could also wash it in the dishwasher on the top shelf. You could boil it in water for a few minutes. You could use a bleach solution to sanitize it. You could use toy cleaner. The options are endless. For us, the sink with some soap works best. Since we have a master bath in our bedroom, we never have to leave the bedroom to clean up our toys after play time has ended. Just use some caution with the bullet. It is pretty cheap and can easily be ruined with some water. The bullet does have a rubber ring on the cap to keep water out, but it is not high quality so I would not submerge it in water and expect it to work again.
For storage you can reuse the packaging. It will work fine for this, though it takes up a lot of room. And if free space is at a premium in your house, then find another solution. We just toss ours in the drawer or in the closet on a shelf out of sight and reach from the little ones. We have never had a problem with storing our toys this way. Only once did this cause a problem, but that was with a jelly toy. We have not had jelly toys in our house for years. And the silicone ones do not have problems with mass storage like this.
This comes in a clear plastic box, about 3 inches by 3 inches by 6 1/2 inches tall. The dildo is clearly visible inside with the bullet sitting right next to it. The packaging is not discreet at all. Not something you would want to pull out of the mailing box with people around you, you will need to wait until you are alone to open up the package. The plastic box is littered with writing, also not discreet.
There really isn't a reason to keep this packaging. You could keep it for storage, but it is kind of a pain in the butt to open it op every time you want to use the toy, and a bigger pain in the butt to put it all back together. Plus it takes up a lot of space, much more then the dildo alone would take up. I did not keep the packaging, as I was not worried about the storage of my dildo.
On the packaging, you will find a web address to go and find cleaning instructions for all tantus toys.
I enjoy it when the wife uses this toy on me. It is almost as good as the spur. The vibrations add a special touch to it that the spur does not have. I switch between the spur and leisure each time my wife and I partake in her taking charge. It is nice to have a selection of toys to choose from.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it3 months after original review
This is still a toy that gets used quite a bit. Tantus makes great quality toys, and this has not let us down. It has held up nicely to wear and tear. It still looks brand new. The vib is still holding up, though I think we have have to change out the batteries soon. This is a must have for everyone's toy box.
