This is the first strap on/harness combination that I've purchased. Tantus has never failed me before; I absolutely love their dildos and I have yet to be disappointed. They offer fair prices and a great selection of sizes, textures and colors. The Curve is no exception. Smooth in texture, it, like all Tantus dildos, is made from high quality, food-grade silicone; it is hypo-allergenic and latex free. It is non-porous, making it mainly anti-bacterial, and it is phthalates-free. It is great for g-spot and p-spot stimulation. The Curve is my partner's favorite anal toy - he says that it is the perfect length and girth. I can attest that it delivers the most explosive orgasms of any toy of his. I love to use it myself as well. I have an extremely shallow g-spot and the Curve hits me just right. It has excellent bumps and ridges, and, like most of our Tantus toys, it is a lovely and fun color. The purple is really pretty, but not too girly for my man (not that he complains much about the color as long as it fits correctly). I recommend the Curve as a fun addition to anyone's collection.

The harness, however, in a word, sucks. I can blame myself for this, as I confess to not having thoroughly read the other reviews, but I was expecting the straps to be leather (because the "shield" is described as such). I was sad to discover that they are made of woven nylon instead, and that the buckles that adjust the harness are plastic. The edges of the nylon straps cut into my skin, specifically my groin, and the plastic buckles were just as uncomfortable. I am working on modifying it for comfort because it's not in our budget to invest in something leather (after borrowing a friend's, we found leather to be what we need for comfort).

As for the 'shield,' the part that the snapped straps thread through to hold the o-ring in place, I was not impressed. It's labeled as leather, but it's as stiff as cardboard and the weight of the dildo kept pulling the snaps open. God forbid one of those things comes completely through because rethreading them is torture due to the stiffness of the leather, not to mention stopping the play for maintenance!

My solution was to remove the shield entirely and use a smaller o-ring to support the weight of the dildo. The straps, themselves, combined with the buckles, are stable and don't slip much, so we have managed to eliminate the amount of disruption to nearly nothing. However, what is otherwise a time for multiple orgasms leaves me chafed and cranky at the end.
