This dildo offers an amazing texture and great harness compatibility and it's cute to look at as well! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is a fan of intense textures and firmer silicone toys.

Pros
intense texture, great for harness play, attractive design, body-safe materials
Cons
may be too stimulating for some, bullet does not work well inside of toy
Don't be intimidated by the size of this dildo! It packs a ton of sensation in those wonderful textured ridges at the base. Combined with the curved tip, this toy is perfect at hitting all the right spots for me. This is an excellent dildo for use in a strap-on harness - my partner and I love to use it doggy style. The slightly tapered shaft provides easy insertion and a little bit of water-based lubricant can help get things started. I have not yet tried using this toy anally but since it has a flared base and is made from silicone it would be safe to do so. Also included with this dildo is a bullet vibrator that is intended to be inserted into the base; however my partner and I found the sensations from this to be lacking so we opted to remove it. The bullet itself is a classic Tantus bullet that provides different patterns of strong vibrations and is excellent for external stimulation.
Silicone remains one of my favorite materials for sex toys - it is odorless, offers a wide variety of texture possibilities depending on the finish and most importantly of all it can be completely sterilized. The Tantus Tsunami offers a sleek, firm, pearlescent silicone dildo that is beautiful to look at and that glides smoothly while in use. I just love the cute pearly pink color of this toy, but what I love even more are those ridges. Again, my favorite way to use this toy with my partner is doggy style so I can feel the ridges bumping my g-spot while thrusting. The silicone is firm and pretty inflexible, but not so solid that it is uncomfortable and makes the sensations this toy offers that much more intense. Fans of softer toys or people that are more sensitive to texture may be better off going with a sex toy made of a material with more give to it.
Less experienced sex toy users may be a little put off my the size of this toy - at a length of around 7 inches (about 6.75 of which are insertable) and 5 inches in girth it is best suited for intermediate users. I personally love girthier toys and although the length was initially a problem for me, flipping it upside down and/or thrusting it doggie style enabled me to insert the entire length. I still cannot use this toy rightside up and lying on my back but I am honestly not a fan of the missionary position in the first place. As for the design, the sleek and girthy waves combined with the pearly silicone definitely make for an attractive offering from Tantus. My favorite part about the shape of this toy is definitely those ridges - the combination of the varied texture with the firm silicone produces a very intense sensation, one that was enough to give me a surprise orgasm the first time my partner used it on me! I would definitely love to explore more toys that offer such interesting textures.
This dildo absolutely floored me while in use with a strap-on harness. It should be compatible with most standard-sized rings although I had a variety to choose from since the harness my partner and I use offers the option of interchangeable rings. Using it doggy-style just can't be beat and I have to wonder if it was designed to be used this way because of how amazing it feels. However, those that prefer the missionary position may find it hard to insert the full length, and it really is important to try and get as many of the ridges inserted as possible to fully enjoy the texture of this toy. The firmness of the silicone combined with the intense texture of the waves makes for a great dildo to those who prefer lots of texture, but might not be so great for those who are more sensitive. For this reason I find that I personally cannot use this toy when I am feeling too tender, even though I love it otherwise.
Since the Tantus Tsunami is made of silicone it can be safely boiled to completely sterilize it and I have done so myself on several occasions. For everyday cleanup, toy cleaner or simple soap and water will suffice just fine. For an added sensation you can use this toy while it's still warm after it has been boiled since the silicone holds heat fairly well - let it cool off a little bit first though! I personally store this toy in a satin bag that I made myself since the manufacturer did not offer any bag with the toy, although you could also use a sealed plastic bag. Remember that sex toys, even those made from silicone, can sometimes have funny reactions if they are allowed to touch each other (especially while stowed away in a box or a drawer) so it is best to keep them separated from one another. Storing your toys in individual bags is also helpful for sanitary reasons.
The toy comes in a simple clear plastic box with the bullet included separate from it. It is definitely not discreet as you can see the toy straight through it but this really wasn't a big deal for me since it was delivered right to my apartment. I wish that Tantus could have included a simple drawstring bag alongside this toy, especially at this price tag, but it was simple enough to make my own and it does not detract from an otherwise beautiful toy that my partner and I enjoy very much. There were basic instructions included but really, how many instructions do you need for a dildo? Pretty straightforward, I think.
I admit that my partner and I are fairly inexperienced when it comes to harness play but this toy made it so easy, and it allowed me to discover some new personal preferences when it comes to sex. Like I mentioned before, I am definitely intrigued and would love to explore some more toys with interesting twisty or ribbed textures like this toy offers. I would not hesitate to purchase another Tantus toy if it struck my fantasy as this is definitely a high quality item that I enjoy and is both attractive and made from body-safe materials - what more can I ask for?
My partner absolutely loves to use this toy on me, and once we get going it's hard to stop! I never thought I could experience an orgasm solely from thrusting but the Tantus Tsunami proved me wrong. I now enjoy using this toy in tandem with the bullet that is included with it by holding the bullet against my clit and rocking back against my partner as they thrust it into me for an even more intense experience. For more comfortable positioning, prop your chest up with some pillows.

True 100% silicone toys, like Tantus, absolutely will not "melt" or degrade if stored together in a box/drawer. I interviewed Metis Black of Tantus about this myth. Also if someone doesn't like the firmness of this silicone, it doesn't mean they don't like all silicone. Especially with Tantus, they have many options in their O2 line, those have a plushy outer layer of silicone.
Dildo makers usually don't include storage pouches. Tantus tries to cut down on costs other than the sex toy so that they can give as much bang for the buck as possible. I prefer their approach to minimal packaging and extras rather than the inflated luxury companies, when I'm left wondering if my toy could have been $50 less without the fancy packaging and accessories. Have you looked at the Tantus Echo? You might really like that one, too.
