Tantus Silk Large Purple Silicone Dildo 6 Inch

I bought this as my first dildo along with a harness so I could use it like a strap-on.

The product is still in amazing condition and looks as good as when it was purchased. It is easy to maintain and does not require any special toy treatment. Due to the materials used you could literally put it in the dishwasher, but I've found hot soapy water works just as well.

The dildo is quite girthy and I would not recommend it for first-time use, it's definitely something to work up to in my experience. That being said, it is fantastic and the curve helps for added stimulation of the G-spot or prostate.

I am getting quite experienced with anal sex toys, and I would say the Tantus Silk dildos are the best that you can find for pleasurable and comfortable anal play.

The best features of this dildo are its shape and its material. In terms of material, the silicone of the Silk range is quite unique (even among other Tantus dildos) because it has a glossy and very smooth surface.

This makes the dildo much easier to insert and move in and out (with lube of course), and I can feel that there’s less drag compared to other silicone toys. Additionally, the smooth surface makes this dildo easier to clean.

I have seen a difference with other silicone toys: the Silk range dildos tend to remain cleaner and are much better if you want to absolutely remove any last trace of odour after use.

More specifically to the Silk Large, I absolutely love its shape and its size. The girth is perfect for me. It feels big and satisfying, but without being excessively large. It’s that perfect spot where I feel penetrated, but not stretched (that I would not enjoy). I would consider myself “intermediate” at anal play, and I can take this dildo easily.

However, it is not for anal beginners, so if you’re reading this and you don’t have much experience, I suggest you to try the Silk Small or Medium first. I still use the Medium one regularly, especially for pegging if I don’t feel too relaxed or I’d like my partner to go a bit more rough.

The Large one is great for solo play, and I love its size when I’m in the right mood. I also use it for pegging and it feels amazing; you have the feeling of being taken and it’s very arousing. This dildo is great to use in a harness, and it’s firm enough for this purpose.

You need to make sure you have good communication with your partner, though, because this dildo can be a lot to take. I love its length because it allows for more positions, but I always tend to actually insert only about half. During pegging I tell my partner to not go all the way in, so don’t feel that you have to take all of it.

This dildo is slightly bigger at the top, and I find this subtle detail to be very pleasurable. It contributes in giving a sensation of fullness and pressure against the prostate, without stretching the sphincter too much. I love that this dildo is smooth; it allows for a better in and out movement.

In my view, there’s a better prostate stimulation when the dildo is smooth and you can do a stronger/faster thrusting motion, as opposed to a dildo with ridges that would be more uncomfortable to move. I know here is a matter of opinion, but I definitely prefer the more comfortable stimulation of a smooth dildo.

There are a couple of things that could be improved. First, this dildo has a little bit of suction, but I found it’s not enough to stick it to the shower floor and have some hands-free fun. I understand this dildo is primarily designed for a harness, but I’ve seen other dildos with a clever suction that are suitable for both.

Second, I don’t like the Tantus logo carved at the base of the dildo. It is an overly elaborate logo that doesn’t come up well when moulded in silicone and just leaves some crevices that, considering the hygiene concerns of this type of product, you really wouldn’t want to have.

I wish they would either go for a simple logo like Lovehoney’s, or refrain from putting the logo on their products, like I’ve seen other expensive brands do.

These 2 flaws would normally knock a star down from the final rating, but I’m so pleased with the material and the perfect shape of this dildo that I’m happy to give 5 stars anyway. I definitely recommend this product.

As always, Tantus makes amazing quality toys.

I have the grab bag version of this from the Tantus website, so mine is a purple colour somewhere between the standard purple and the black. I haven't had a chance to use this for pegging yet, as the harness I purchased sadly doesn't fit me well.

Vaginally though, this toy is surprisingly good. Usually, I prefer more textured toys to use vaginally, so I was expecting this to be mediocre, but it's lovely.

The size is enough to be filling without making me sore, and the shiny silicone doesn't need much lube. It's well worth the price if you aren't a fan of textured dildos, or are looking for something unintimidating as an anal dildo.
