Review: Tantus Alumina Motion
Jul 18th
First things first – why the hell did I pass the Alumina line up for so long? I’ll tell you why: I’m an idiot. I, for some reason, heard the word aluminum and immediately thought “soda can.” I then assumed it would be easily dented, light and hollow like it’s cheap soda counterpart. Well, I was really wrong.
The Motion is heavy, streamlined and, for lack of a better phrase – plain fucking awesome. While it’s not Pure Wand heavy, it does have a weight that can be felt. Its finish is a cross between completely shiny and matte – which may make little to no sense, but I swear it’s true. It has to do with the way the aluminum is polished.
The Motion isn’t just any normal dildo, because it’s also interchangeable with the Alumina Flow and the Alumina Revolve. Which, of course, made me think it was awesome even more so than I did before.
I thought I would be irritated by o-ring in the middle that keeps the two sides of the Motion together nice a snug, but it actually added a lot of stimulation. I realize everyone’s vagina is totally different, but with my anatomy the o-ring barely brushes the opening of my vagina and adds a tickling sensation like you would get with a rabbit vibration that has rotating pearls inside.
If you asked me to state a downfall it would only be that after washing, you’ll want to keep it separated to let the two parts dry before screwing them back together. I don’t see this as being hard, but if you’re a person who can’t leave your sex toys out for a few minutes after use to dry it is something to think about before purchasing. It’s really not a big deal and if you didn’t have time, you could easily grab a hair dryer and dry it on cool for 1-2 minutes before putting it back together.
I really can’t tell you how much I love the Motion. It provides everything I want in a good dildo:
- G-spot stimulation (light)
- Stimulation of the first couple inches of the vagina
- Can be used with silicone or water-based lubes
- Has a weight that can be felt
- Is made out of high quality aeronautical grade aluminum
- Made in the USA from Tantus, who is a great company
If you want one of these (and really, why wouldn’t you?), head over to PinkCherry.com and snag one. Just click on the banner below to be taken to the site.
Thanks so much to Pink Cherry for sending me the Motion for review! I love it!
Review: Tantus G-Force
Mar 14th
If you ask anyone I talk to regularly, they’ll tell you that I have an unhealthy obsession with Tantus. I also got a crazy obsession with the Tantus G-Force in particular and would not stop until I had it. Well, Eden Fantasys decided to be awesome and give me one for video review.
So what is the G-Force? It’s an 11″ long silicone dildo with a slight curve towards the g-spot (or p-spot) and a handle. Yes, it has a handle. For people like me with short-ish arms who like to jack off laying on their backs, this is a life saver. It’s long, it’s flexible and it has a handle to maintain your grip. For those of you unacquainted with Tantus silicone, you should know it’s firmer than most, so even though the G-Force is long and not overly thick – 1 1/4″ – it’s firm enough to provide a decent amount of g-spot stimulation.
Now, I can’t squirt with this toy since it isn’t a hard material like glass or metal, but you may not have the same experience. However, I wouldn’t get the G-Force looking for your first g-spot orgasm or unleashing your hidden ability to squirt – it’s probably not going to happen with this one.
You’ll want to sterilize your G-Force by boiling, spritzing with bleach solution or putting it through a soap-free dishwasher if you’re going to share it, or if you’re going to use it anally and then vaginally. You don’t want to end up with a nasty bacterial infection.
The G-Force is smooth without any texture, so if you’re a texture queen, this isn’t your toy. However, since it’s thin and smooth, it would make the perfect introduction to anal stimulation for both sexes. If you head over to the product page on Eden Fantasys, you can see some reviews of it by men who have used it for prostate stimulation.
Overall I would recommend this to anyone of any gender. I think it’s fabulous!
Want to see more about the G-Force? Head over to the Eden Fantasys product page and take a look at my video review. I compare it to other toys and talk a little more about why I like it.

Review: Tantus Ripple Small
Dec 31st
When I saw the small Tantus Ripple was a free product of the week on Naughty and Discreet, I knew I had to have it. I’m more advanced in anal play and also don’t like thrusting, but my boyfriend has quite the reluctant ass, so I needed the smallest thing I could get that wasn’t the same size as my finger. The Ripple was obviously the perfect choice.
I got the Ripple in the mail in a very timely manner, for which I truly applaud Naughty and Discreet – my mail usually doesn’t come that fast, ever. I showed the Ripple to the boyfriend and his first response was, “Oh god, bumps.” He was really scared that they were going to hurt, but I insisted that it was small enough that it would be just fine.
The Ripple itself only goes up to 1” diameter at its widest point while the starting point of the Ripple is about the size of my pinky finger (I wear a ring size 5, if that helps you visualize). The Ripple is made of 100% silicone and is from Tantus, so you know it will be a quality product. Tantus silicone is usually towards the firm end of the silicone spectrum, which is why many people (myself included) love it. However, because the Ripple is so small in diameter, the silicone is rather squishy. You will have to grip it in a couple of places to get it to glide into your ass at first, since just pushing from the base will only cause it to double over.
<obviously necessary “Hi, Tantus. I love you” rave>
For those of you not acquainted with the awesomeness that is Tantus, I’ll provide you with the most biased introduction ever. Yes, biased. I love them and I can’t hide it, so why bother trying?
Tantus is a small company based in California that makes 100% silicone toys and also has a small line of aluminum toys called Alumina, which I would love to get my hands on. I have only 3 Tantus toys so far and I couldn’t me more impressed. Their silicone has an awesome firm quality that I have grown to love, but it also has enough give to be comfortable. Even though other companies are said to have more “life-like” silicone, to me Tantus has the same firmness as a hard cock. I know this can be argued, so I’ll leave it to you to find out by buying something awesome from them.
Tantus also has an awesome woman president who is easily contacted on Facebook and Twitter to answer questions. She’s incredibly friendly and wonderful.
</obviously necessary “Hi, Tantus. I love you” rave>
Overall, my partner really liked the Ripple as an ass toy. While he said it’s definitely not as stimulating to his prostate as other toys we’ve tried, it does have a more manageable size for him so he can relax knowing that it’s not going to hurt. We only got it inserted up to the last bump, but hey, where’s the fun if you can instantly shove anything in your ass that you desire? Okay, yeah, that would be fun. I lied. But it’s not like that for everyone and that’s okay.
As far as cleaning the Ripple, I’m sure you know the drill, but if you don’t I’ll lay it out for you again. I really recommend sanitizing ass toys between uses every time. You can do this by boiling it for a few minutes, putting it in the top rack of your dishwasher with no soap for a cycle or you can wipe it down with a 1 part bleach, 9 parts water solution.
Overall, if you have a scared ass, or someone you know does, do yourself a favor and buy the Tantus Ripple – it’s unintimidating and is a great introduction to anal play. You can get your own over at Naughty and Discreet.
Review: Tantus Goddess
Dec 20th
Picking a toy for my first review for Vibrator.com was a hard choice. There are so many good things out there. But, I decided to stay to something tried and true – Tantus silicone. I ended up getting the Tantus Goddess for review and I will say I’m not disappointed.
For those of you that haven’t heard of Tantus, then you’re missing out. Tantus makes only 100% premium silicone toys and they manufacture right here in the United States. They hand-pour every single toy and lovingly etch the name “Tantus” by hand on the base. Each toy is unique because no toy will have the exact same marble pattern from when the silicone was poured or the exact same etching on the base. To top that off, Tantus silicone is some of the best out there. It’s not matte and velvety like some, but it’s slick and firm which is how a nice silicone should be. It has just enough give to be comfortable while it’s firm enough to hold its shape.
The Tantus Goddess is one of the many amazing vibrators that Tantus offers. Tantus vibrators are made up of a 100% silicone dildo which has an opening in the base to insert a bullet vibrator. Tantus sends a moderately strong silver bullet for this purpose, but if you happen to have a favorite bullet vibrator that you’d rather use in the base (RO-80MM, anyone?) then it should fit as long as it’s not thicker than a standard silver bullet.
The Goddess is also harness-compatible because of the flared base. However, the flare is small, so you will need to find an appropriate sized o-ring in order to use the Goddess securely in the harness of your choice. Also because of the flare the Goddess can be used anally. If you plan to use it anally make sure you’re comfortable with texture in your anal toys since the Goddess is completely full of it. This is definitely not a toy to be used anally by someone who is new to anal play.
Since I’m not too advanced in anal play and don’t want texture anally, I only used this toy vaginally. Vaginally the Goddess shines. The texture can be felt on every inch of the toy. And I. love. texture. If you’re a fellow texture lover, or even texture whore like some – this toy is going to become one of your best friends. However, if you’re not sure if you like texture this would be a great halfway point. It’s not the Tantus Silk, but it’s also not as textured as something like the Tantus Echo.
When you want to clean the Goddess just wipe down the bullet with a toy wipe or a little soap and warm water on a cloth. To clean the dildo itself, you can either wash it with mild soap and water, boil it on the stove or run it through the dishwasher without soap in the top rack.
I usually prefer to remove the bullet and use it on my clit while using the Goddess as a dildo, but this is because internal vibrations I’ve found don’t really do much for me. I much prefer a nice, steady thrusting motion and pressure applied to my g-spot. What I’m getting at is no matter if you like vibration internally or not, need clit stimulation or not, whatever you may need – the Tantus Goddess can probably provide it.
