Harness and G-spot dildo set discontinued

A match made in heaven - just bring the lube

The Curve Kit is a one-stop kit of a good harness and dildo for almost any use, whether you're a novice or more experienced. The Tantus Curve is an excellent dildo, easy to insert and providing strong (but not too strong) G/P spot stimulation, and the Latigo Leather harness provides a solid, easy-to-adjust foundation for strap-on fun.

Use

Tantus harness kits combine an excellent dildo with a good harness, and the Curve Kit is no exception. It combines two winners: the Tantus Curve dildo and the Sportsheets Latigo Leather harness.

This is a good kit for anyone who is interested in strap-on play, has a bit of experience with dildos (especially if you're using it for anal sex), and wants to buy a single kit that combines a good harness and an excellent dildo that works well with it.

The Latigo Leather harness is a good value harness that will fit most people securely, and the Tantus Curve is an excellent mid-range dildo good for vaginal or anal use. Whether you're interested in a harness setup for vaginal sex, or a harness setup for anal sex/pegging, or one that will work for both (the Curve is easy-clean and sterilizable!) the Curve Kit deserves a look.

Performance

The harness slid on and tightened up easily with a pull of the straps, providing a firm foundation for the Curve dildo. Removing the harness was almost as easy, requiring only that the tabs on the ladder locks be raised. We were able to discover this function rapidly as we forgot to install the dildo first, and it can be difficult to insert the dildo while wearing the Latigo Leather harness. Once the Curve was in the O-ring and the straps were cinched down again the security of the harness/dildo combination was proved. The tip of the Curve didn't flop at all walking around the house, a testament to the design of both the Curve and the harness. When the harness was cinched down tight the O-ring was pulled a bit wider than its nominal 1-1/2" diameter, but the base of the Curve was beefy enough to stay solidly mounted. If you're using a dildo with a smaller base you might want to try a metal ring, though.

The nylon webbing was comfortable, but as with all nylon webbing the edge can be a bit irritating if you're not used to it. It conformed well to the body, making the harness unobtrusive and wearable under clothes. Another advantage of the nylon is breathability - you can wear this harness for many hours without getting sticky underneath. The ladder locks worked well for adjustments, didn't cause any pinches during testing and held the harness well during use.

Since harnesses can be worn by either women or men I tried on the harness as well. On a man the penis will likely interfere with the leather pad, but without the leather pad the harness worked well on me as well as my wife, holding the Curve a bit above my penis.

The Curve dildo worked wonderfully - insertion was easy thanks to the tapered head, and the texturing added a bit of interest to the dildo without being too much anally. For hand-held vaginal use, the Curve comes with a small ridge that bumps up against your clit at full insertion for a bit of added interest. The top feature of the Curve dildo was undoubtedly the curve - it was just right for prostate or G-spot stimulation with every thrust

Care and Maintenance

One of the excellent features of this set is that it's easy to take care of. The silicone dildo can be used with any water or oil based lube, and possibly even some silicone lubes (although this is generally not recommended, Tantus has information https://tantusinc.com/content/got-lube%E2%84%A2-part-1 ).
After you're done playing, cleanup is easy as well. Silicone can be cleaned with soap and water easily and if you want to sterilize it you can use a 10% bleach solution or boil it for a few minutes.

The harness is almost as easy to take care of. The straps and O-ring can be washed by hand or by machine, using whatever soap you want. The leather pad is a bit harder, but it can be washed with saddle soap and have some leather conditioner put on it if it starts to dry out. Personally, we remove the leather pad if things are likely to get messy, thus leaving a very easy to clean setup.

When removing the pad or O-ring it's best to do it one snap at a time, since it's easy to get things crossed. Having gotten into this jam barely 5 minutes after opening the package I am also able to share a tip about getting things back together: snap on one strap to the O-ring, get the harness as "on" as you can, and then reattach the rest of the straps, "building" the harness around your body. Much easier than trying to puzzle it out on the bed or table.

Packaging

The Curve Kit comes in Tantus' minimum-waste packaging of a staple sealed plastic bag with cardboard top identifying what it was. While not very showy, it does make effective use of natural resources, and the quality of Tantus' products speak for themselves even without showy packaging.

Experience

Having heard about the Curve dildo, I was excited to try it out - and in a strap-on kit no less!

When my Curve Kit arrived I rushed to check out the contents - a nylon harness and the Curve Dildo, with its pronounced curve, nicely tapered head, and gentle ripple texturing up one side of the shaft.

While the harness didn't immediately look like anything special, it certainly performed well during use. The straps were easy to adjust and it hugged J's features very well, and since I'm a bit of a butt man I appreciated the way the black straps framed her cheeks. As an experiment I also tried on the harness, and found that without the pad it worked quite well on a man as well.

Once the two pieces of the kit (harness and dildo) were put together the fun really began. The Curve does everything it claims to and ought to based on its family history, apparently combining the best features of the Acute and the best features of the "car" family (Compact/Sport/Luxury) to provide a winning dildo. The midrange size is very good, and it's long enough to enable mostly-unrestrained pegging without either player having to worry about the head popping out. In all the positions tried the Curve made perfect contact with my prostate, giving this dildo the stimulating power of a substantially larger model.

The ripple texture along one side provided a pleasant extra burst of feeling as it ran in and out of the anus or vagina, and was gentle enough that we never had to worry about irritation from rapid thrusting, even when I clenched down my anus in response to a mid-peg handjob.

Short answer - I highly recommend this for anyone interested in harness play who either doesn't have a harness yet or has an unsatisfactory harness. It works well and will stay with you for a long time.

    Great review!

    I noticed that the o-ring can pull on that harness as well. Is this unusual for harnesses?
  • Contributor: ScottA
    There are two basic approaches to the O-ring in harnesses: some harnesses (such as the Latigo Leather included in this kit) have the ring serve as an integral part of the harness, whereas others (such as the Aslan Jaguar) have the straps attached to a piece of material and the O-Ring attached to that. There are some (such as the Aslan Commando) that are a "hybrid" where one strap (usually the waist/hip strap) is "solid" and the other straps attach through the O-ring.

    Neither is inherently better. The harnesses with a non-integral O-ring allow easy change of dildos and tight straps without pulling on the ring, but depending on your body style the dildo might be "floppier". While tightening the straps on the Latigo Leather harness can distort the O-ring, I (as a man) find it a bit more comfortable to wear than the Aslan Wonder Woman since there's less material to bump and chafe against my penis. The Latigo's design also ensures that a tight harness always tightens up the O-ring against the body - but you might want to go with a metal O-ring for stability.

    Does this help?

    Fantastic, thorough review. I do love the curve, but the harness looks a bit too feminine and stiff for me. I can see Curve with Commando selling better as a combo.....

    Was the leather pad bothersome at all to your wife? It does look a bit stiff. Did it stimulate her while using the harness?

    Thanks for the review!
  • Contributor: ScottA
    This harness really isn't very stiff - our Aslan vinyl harness is noticeably stiffer than this one. The leather pad is quite supple, not exactly suede, but definitely not shoe or saddle leather. It's a bit thicker than the leather used in the coats I've seen, but almost as soft.

    That said, we probably will use the harness without the pad. I think it was meant to keep pubic hair from being trapped and pulled (and it does a good job at that), but we didn't notice much of a problem with the Curve, probably because of its large base. The harness is easier to clean without the leather pad, it's easier to get at sensitive bits with fingers without the leather pad, and from time to time the leather pad leaves bits behind (which is not ideal for a bit of after-pegging cunnilingus) - all these little bits added up to us keeping the pad off for most stuff. It's nice that they have it, though, as we can easily put it back in if a dildo starts grabbing hair down there.

    This kit seems as stimulating as any other dildo harness/kit, with or without the pad. Personally, we're fans of doubles, though Winking They give that little extra bit.
