The Elements Delta is really a nice looking toy. The silicone has such a soft, silky texture that's totally unlike any of the other sleek and smooth dildos I have from Tantus. The color is a beautiful soft pearlescent pink. It looked so pretty sitting on my nightstand, next to its little bullet. I was initially impressed with the looks, I couldn't wait to play with it.

First, I had a hard time with the on/off button on the bullet. Yeah, only one speed. And sometimes the button just wouldn't work. It would buzz while I was holding it down, but it just wouldn't click into place and stay on. Once I got the bullet to stay on, I took Tantus Delta for a solo ride.

Despite its brilliant good looks, I just wasn't impressed with the function. The whole toy is fairly small. Standing on its base, it's only 5 1/4 inches tall. The larger shaft is only slightly larger than my finger. For vaginal use, this just didn't cut it for me. The small size of the shaft might be ideal for someone new to penetrating toys.

The small size does have an advantage, however, in that the tremendous vibration of the bullet is easily and effectively translated all the way to the tip of the shaft. For partner play, this was the most enjoyable part. The vibrations were not as strong in the smaller "thumb" meant for additional clitoral or anal stimulation, but the larger shaft was great for teasing because of the strong buzz. The extreme flexibility of the main shaft means that the Delta can be comfortably turned around either way, so that the "thumb" really can be easily used for clitoral or anal tickling. On the downside, the flexibility means the main shaft isn't really well suited for anal penetration, at least not for me. Insertion was a bit awkward and was difficult because the shaft kept bending, even when using plenty of lube. However, the wide base works well with a harness, and the short size lends excellent control once penetration was achieved.

I'd recommend this toy to vibrator novices mainly. It would be a gentle (and pretty) introduction for anyone looking to try out a vibrator for the first time. The main shaft is slightly tapered and makes for very easy insertion. Because of the velvet texture of the silicone, it seemed to work so well with my own juices and I didn't need any lube at all.
