I first eyed up the Faerie, literally years ago. However, EF stopped carrying it, or perhaps it was discontinued, before I could add it to my arsenal. Now that I have had a chance to try the Faerie, it has become my favorite Tantus toy.

True to its name, the Faerie is a smaller toy. It measures in at just 5 3/4" overall and the majority of that is insertable. This dildo maintains a constant diameter of 1 1/4" through the length of the shaft. This smaller size makes it not only adorable in swirled purple and opalescent white but it's ideal for those who prefer their toys a little smaller are who are just getting used to the idea of penetration. Many people would consider the Faerie small to medium but I consider it just right these days.

Although the Faerie is shorter, it has a definitive curve--almost a hook--that is ideal for stimulation the G-spot. I never have a difficult time finding mine these days but the curve on the shaft will make it that much easier for the rest of you.

The silicone of the Faerie quickly warms to body temperature; however, it's not as compatible for temperature play as metal or glass. Tantus has used a middle-of-the-road softness with the Faerie. It's not as floppy as the Delta but it's not rock hard either--like the Goliath. Faerie will stand up all by itself and you can definitely get some pressure out of it. However, there is some flexibility. I can bend the shaft all the way down to touch itself with some force and you can easily increase the angle of the shaft, if you desire.

Another entry in the "pro" category is its flared base. It's flat enough to use in a harness (although I don't have one) and makes the Faerie safe for anal exploration. Because it's made of non-porous silicone, you can easily boil or bleach this dildo to make it pristine and safe for use in other orifices (or with other partners) again. Note that silicone is not generally compatible with silicone-based lubes so you should stick to water-based lubes. I would recommend using lube because the super shiny silicone texture does like to drag.

It will also collect a bit of lint and Tantus offers no storage option. The plastic box that houses the Faerie is good for seeing what's inside but not so good for storage because it is bulky. Thus, after you wash your Faerie -- warm water and soap are good enough for your typical situation -- I'd let it air dry and store it in a lint-free or plastic zipper bag.
