The first thing I noticed about the Tiger was that it was named exceedingly well. The raised stripes are offset in a particularly tiger-like fashion, which made me smile. The second thing I noticed, with some surprise, was the base. I can tend to be a bit of a skeptic, and the idea that a slightly concave base could act as a suction cup was a little outlandish to me. Oh, how I was mistaken. This base doesn’t LOOK all that strong, but after testing it on several household surfaces, I realized that I could realistically fuck anything with a flat surface using this toy. That alone ranked the Tiger very high on my nifty scale.

Once I got past my initial infatuation with the Tiger’s base and stopped looking for things to stick it on, I settled in for a long evening. I know from conversations with representatives from Wet and Fun Factory that Wet Platinum is a perfectly safe lube, though silicone based, for high quality silicone toys, so I grabbed the nearest bottle of Platinum, a towel or three, and got to work.

I first tried the Tiger alone and quickly discovered an ingenious design: the first stripe on the Tiger also serves to provide a ridge very like the head of a penis. That first ridge is always my favorite on any toy, human or inanimate. Some other things to note about the ridges; they are large but feel surprisingly smooth with thrusting. They’re also offset, so instead of creating a popping sensation with every thrust, it’s more of a smooth back-and-forth-ooh-that’s-nice feeling.

The Tiger, like most silicone toys, is firm but yielding; it was great fun to insert it and utilize the flexible quality to run the stripes across my clit as I pulled it out. The curved tip was firm enough (finally, a toy that is!) to reliably hit my G-spot, and when my partner came in and decided to give me a hand, my body’s response was amazing.

Used anally, the Tiger was a little difficult to insert for me. The ridges felt much more pronounced, and the toy wasn’t quite flexible enough to move along my inner curves the way I would have liked. Once it was in, I felt pleasantly filled, but couldn’t thrust or work it too vigorously. Instead, my partner held it in place and fucked me silly. As long as we didn’t jostle the Tiger too much, we both enjoyed that experience, enough to have to cover my mouth with the pillow lest we wake the kids.

I don’t think the Tiger is ideal for every application, but it was a lot of fun for me and now lives in the “short list” toy box. I’ve pulled it out a few times since that first trial and it’s never let me down. Go get ‘em, Tiger!
