In the military there are star ratings for Generals ranging from 1 to 5.... This Tantus dildo is to be considered a bad ass, over the top, 5 star leader. Think Patton without the corncob pipe but with all the burly attitude. New recruits will probably require some training to take this dong vaginally and cringe at the thought of him exploring the back country but battle hardened toy veterans who have earned their stripes will love the fullness that the General provides. The slight upward curvature and bulging on the shaft can provide G-Spot stimulation but it's very mild because pronounced ridges on a large toy don't make sense when the stretched feeling is really what the sensations are all about. The General is able to be sterilized which means that orifice switching or partner swapping is possible and it's also harness compatible.

Despite his tough looks the General really is a softie if you're lucky enough to touch him. Basic training might be tough on you but you'll come to enjoy the sleek smoothness of this premium silicone. The toy is silky to the touch with a matte black finish and no seams lines can be found as remnants from the molding process. A hard squeeze causes slight deformation and the shaft can be bent a good couple of inches with firm pressure but by no means is the General floppy. Firm yet supple is the best description I can think of and that's required for a large toy like this to comfortably burrow it's way into your nether regions.
This dildo has absolutely zero odor even straight from the packaging before a wash and it's also completely tasteless. The only drawback of the material is that it's a lint magnet so give the dong a quick rinse before using and dry with a lint free towel (dish cloths work well).

Tantus makes some of the finest insertable products on the market which comes down to the quality of silicone that they use and their great designs with the General being no exception. The shaft of this dildo has no pronounced ridges but only a small upward curvature (just like a real cock) and three discreet bulges along the shaft length including the pronounced head. I wouldn't describe the toy as being realistic but it's pretty close without having molded veins and a more distinct glans. The shape of the toy provided me with very light G-Spot stimulation but it wasn't stellar nor what I believe the dong to be made for.
The General is a pussy stuffer and I personally loved lubing him up and slowly easing this massive thing inside me! At 7 inches of insertable length and shaft diameter ranging from 1 3/4 to 2 1/4 inches you will definitely appreciate the fact that you are filled with over a pound of silicone rubber. It takes a little while to become comfortable with this much cock but when you do the harness compatible base makes for a decent handle for slow and steady thrusting. Because the length isn't ridiculous you can also pound yourself silly without smacking your cervix uncomfortably and wrecking the moment.
While I haven't yet went backdoor with the General my husband has and he found it took lube, time, and relaxation to insert about 1/2 the length of the dildo so far. That's down just past the second bulge and is pretty impressive for just one try in my opinion. I'd rate him an experienced player so any rookies be warned that it's not going to be easy. While I would love to strap this sucker on and fuck him silly we unfortunately don't own a harness with a big enough o-ring to accommodate the wide base of this dildo. Something for the XMAS list.....
While the General isn't realistic it certainly isn't discreet and I wouldn't want to leave this out where kids, guests, in-laws, or your book club may accidentally find it nor would I consider the General travel friendly. He won't be in my carry on bag going through the X-ray scanners to be pulled out in front of gasping tourists!

The General performs well if you keep in mind what he's designed for. He's not meant to be representational and some people may think he looks like a big blob of silicone. He's meant to be just big really, with a sprinkling of cock attitude. He's meant to fill up your insides to the brim and stretch you out in ways a real cock can't (unless you've managed to find the one-in-a-million guys with this kind of equipment) while still having a comfortable feel. I love him in this regard because with a little lube, relaxing, and a gentle hand I can take all his length and girth and be stuffed deliciously whether alone, with a helping hand from my partner, or putting on a show for him. It's definitely fun to watch the General glide inside as hubby can attest or grab a mirror to see for yourself ladies.
If you want bumps and ridges then this dildo isn't for you. If you want to use this in a harness then make sure you have a 2 1/2 inch o-ring to accept the wide shaft thickness at the base and of course an experienced, willing partner. If you're looking to use use anally you must either be quite experienced or at least willing to take the effort and time to become so.

Because this toy is made from 100% high grade silicone it's a breeze to clean and maintain. It can be boiled and bleached allowing for swapping between partners and also switching from anal to vaginal use. It is top rack dishwasher safe but be sure to empty before the family sees it. Absolutely avoid silicone based lubricants because they will dissolve this material. Water based lube is the slickness of choice and the smooth finish of the toy makes a little go a long way. When storing this big friend make sure that no contact is made with other toy materials (especially jelly products) because dissolving or color transfer may occur. Our standard recommendation is a zip-lock type plastic bag but remember you'll need the large size! Also remember that the General loves to attract lint so dry with lint free towels after washing and he may need a quick rinse before using depending on how you stored him.

The General arrives in his best pressed uniform which Tantus has made fairly classy. This dildo appears to float in a molded clear clam-shell housed inside a 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 X 9 inch clear plastic box. The presentation really makes the toy pop despite being minimal. No instructions are included but they aren't necessary in my opinion and the packaging states all that is needed to be known such as the fact that Tantus products are hypoallergenic, phthalate free, boilable, bleachable, pleasurable, and can last a lifetime. The box is too big to use for storage and is about as discreet as a floating massive dildo can be.

It took me about 5 minutes from the time the General arrived to be naked like a good little soldier, on my bed with him nestled deep inside me. He just looked too good in the box to resist and I'd wanted to take orders since being assigned the task of reviewing him. This dildo felt delicious in my pussy and with a bullet vibe on my clit it didn't take long to reach a toe curling orgasm. It's only been 2 weeks since I received the General but I've used him solo 3 times with the same results and have also put on a ticket worthy show for my husband, taking the dildo missionary, doggy style, and giving him a good tease by sucking it slowly. Anal use for me is yet to happen but will in the near future and be worth a follow up review. Hubby, like I've already mentioned, managed half the length anally but he's determined to take the whole thing and I can't wait to see him make me proud! He enjoyed the smoothness of the General, the fact that it doesn't look like he's taking a real cock, and the slightly tapered head slipped inside without too much resistance. He did have some trouble holding it inside with his sphincter muscles only but my helping hand kept pressure on it during a blowjob at the same time. I'd love to get a harness with a bigger o-ring for this to peg him and he is up for it! I'd also love to take this anally, with my partner double penetrating me in the pussy, with my nipple clamps on tight, restrained to the bed posts, with a ball gag in, wearing my collar....... sounds like I have quite a bit of work to do before the followup review!
