Review of the Get Naked Dice

Not your average pair of cheap plastic love dice, this elegant pair of Get Naked Dice is anything but a novelty. A velvety drawstring pouch lined with satin holds a pair of shiny aluminum dice stamped with naughty ideas. At least I think the writing is stamped. It could be laser inscribed… I’m not sure.

They have a nice heft to them and are cool to the touch; perfect for a little teasing when the weather is hot. Just pop them in the fridge for some sexy little ice cubes that won’t melt! I love the feel of cool metal… or stone… or anything for that matter. On warm nights, I used to snuggle up to the cool wall next to my bed or grip the cool metal of the rod iron bed frame.

The edges are rather pointy, so you can use those to tease with as well. Lightly drag them over your partner’s skin to create sensations similar to lightly dragging a fingernail over their soft flesh. Personally, I like the edge lightly drawn in multiple small circles over my tush. The skin is so sensitive there and it makes me wriggle like mad. It also feels good around my shoulder blades and neck.

The only bad thing is they make quite a clatter, if you roll them on a hard surface. It’s best to just roll them on the bed.

The first of the Get Naked Dice set has various body parts written on it:

The second of the Get Naked Dice set has the suggestions:

I’ve seen loads of lover’s dice and the Get Naked Dice set at Babeland has been the nicest I’ve seen so far. Plastic hokey dice are so disappointing and feel kiddish and awkward. Trust me, I have a plastic pair and I’ve never used them with hubby. They just seemed so cheesy. However, the velvety bag and beautiful metal dice of the Get Naked Dice set gave the experience a much more grown-up feeling. I didn’t feel embarrassed to try these out with hubby and I’m glad I did. We’ve had plenty of fun with them. Plus, I like to use them to cool myself down on hot days. We get plenty of those here.

Review of The Tantus Panacea Vibrator

The Panacea Vibrator, named for the Greek goddess of “universal remedy”, is a limited edition vibrator made by Tantus to help raise funds for the American Cancer Society. All this month, 100% off the proceeds from the sales of these vibrators will be donated through Tantus’ Relay for Life group.

Cancer, unfortunately, touches the lives of almost everyone in some way or another. I’ve had many friends and family who have gone to battle with this disease, some never to live to fight another day. And so, for helping with the fight against cancer, my adoration for Tantus has only grown further.

Packaging: My Panacea Vibrator came in a plastic bag that had a paper flap attached to it. The flap had some information about the company and silicone, but there were no cleaning instructions or anything of that nature. Instead, the paper directs you to the company website for care instructions.

Generally, Tantus toys come nestled in a plastic cradle inside a clear plastic box. Since this is a limited edition toy just for this month, I’m assuming that’s why it wasn’t in one.

Batteries do come with the bullet vibrator.

Size / Details
• Length: 7 1/2"
• Insertable Length: 6"
• Circumference: 4 1/2"
• Diameter: 1 1/2"
• Weight: 0.4 lb
• Harness Compatibility: O-ring compatible
• Batteries: 3 button cell LR44 batteries (inlcuded)

Material: All Tantus toys are hand-made in the U.S.A. from the highest quality 100% Premium Platinum Silicone (If cared for properly, they will last a lifetime). That means they’re hypoallergenic, hygienic, phthalate-free, latex-free, odorless, tasteless, boilable, bleachable, and completely nontoxic! They are also manufactured 100% green.

Firmness / Texture / Design: This toy is fairly solid, with a very slight amount of squish to it. It can be bent into a u-shape with some effort. Although it is fairly rigid, it does bend during use to make the experience more comfortable. Make no mistake, though, it’s not floppy by any means.

The surface is smooth and glossy, which provides some drag. Due to this, and the ridges, you’ll probably want to use a good amount of lube. Trailing down the side where the frenulum would be are what I would call four waves of ridges; there’s one at the head, one below it, one in the middle of the shaft, and one closer to the base. These flow around to the other side of the shaft, and feather downwards towards the base.

The Panacea Vibrator is actually a beautifully re-colored Goddess Vibrator, with pearlescent swirls of white and purple. This is best seen at the base, where the vibrator cavity is.

To insure that the bullet doesn't get stuck, the cavity has various ridges in it. This prevents a vacuum from forming and making removal impossible.

I discovered something about the base, while I was washing Panacea without the bullet vibrator; I don’t need the suction cup adapter to get this toy to stick. The adapter is available for toys that have the same bullet vibrator cavity as this toy does, and is designed to turn them into suction cup dildos. However, not having the bullet in, and having the toy wet, I can slap it down and have it stick fairly securely. Of course, the adapter is going to provide better suction, but I figured I would share my discovery. For light play, it might stay up, but you should get the adapter if you plan on normal to heavy play with it.

Vaginal Use: Although the texture did seem a bit intimidating, due to the firmness of the ridges, it’s quite comfortable during use. If you have a shallow g-spot, the ridges may work out pretty well for you. I’m fairly petite, and mine isn’t very deep within my body, so it works nicely for me. Of course, there’s no typical g-spot curve to the shaft. Angled just right, I can get the stimulation I want, but this may not work for everyone.

The ridge of the head does provide a pleasant sort of pop during insertion and removal. If not angled properly, though, the ridge below the head can be a little too much pressure upon insertion and removal. I generally use rather shallow thrusts with this toy, and keep it angled toward my g-spot.

Really, I didn’t get a whole lot of stimulation from the bullet vibe being in this toy, so I just removed it and used it for a clit vibe. The vibrations are buzzy, and it died after about half an hour. You can replace the bullet with another of the same diameter, if you so choose.

Anal Use: I really would not recommend this toy for anal use. The base doesn’t have much of a flair to it. This means that it could get sucked up entirely by hungry butts. And, even if it didn’t, that base isn’t much to hold onto. Once the toy would be fully inserted, it would probably be difficult to get a grip on it.

Vibration Intensity: The vibrations of the bullet vibrator in this toy are very buzzy, and seem to me like they’re cut about in half in intensity when they reach the head. What you get in intensity is your average one-speed vibe; decently powerful, but not the greatest thing in the world.

Expect this vibrator to last about half an hour, before it dies.

Vibration Noise: This depends on where you have the bullet vibe. If you’re using it separately, it’s pretty loud (3/5). If you have it inserted into the toy while it’s on, that helps muffle it a degree. If you have roommates, or someone you just don’t want to know about your toy time, I’d keep some soft background music on to cover up the sound.

Compatible Lubricants: Water-based lubricant is recommended. Silicone lube can be used, but Tantus advises a patch test beforehand. Place a small amount of lube on the base and wait. If things start feeling tacky or gummy, scrape and wash that stuff off and never use it on your toy.

Cleaning: If you have a big enough pot, you can boil the silicone part for 5-10 minutes, stick it in the top rack dishwasher on a regular cycle, wipe with a 10% bleach solution and rinse, or simply wash with a mild soap and water. Allow it to air-dry, or wipe it with a lint-free towel before storage. Toy cleaners and wipes are also fine. Take extra care to clean the imprinted name at the base, as it may gather fluids. For the bullet, you can wipe it down with a toy wipe or 10% bleach solution. Since the Tantus logo does tend to gather fluids, you’ll want to make sure that’s scrubbed out well.

Storage: Always remove the batteries from your vibrator before storage. This can extend the life of the batteries, and will prevent accidental leakage and corrosion if the batteries happen to go bad while they’re in your vibrator.

Keep the Panacea Vibrator somewhere where it won’t collect dust and hair, and where it won’t get squished or touch other toys. You can keep it in a bag, a toy storage unit, the packaging that it will come in, or wherever it will stay safe and clean.

Opinion: Yes, I picked on the bullet plenty. I hate bullets, for the most part, though. The only other issue I have is the ridge below the head. If this toy were a softer blend of silicone, like the O2 line, I doubt it would be much of a problem for me at all. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful toy made for a great cause. Keeping it at the perfect angle for my g-spot generally keeps the ridge below the head from becoming uncomfortable, so it’s not too much of an issue. It’s something to keep in mind, though, when purchasing this toy. And, if you’re thinking of using it for anal, do be careful, since the base isn’t flared much.

Review of the Sushikko

It looks good enough to eat, doesn’t it? Well, aside from the keychain, anyway… Yep, this little piece of nigiri sushi is actually a vibrator in disguise. Inside the maguro tuna nigiri sushi sleeve is a bullet vibrator. It’s marketed as a massager for tired muscles, but come on.. We all know what this will end up being used for.

Basic Info
• Size: Exactly the same as typical nigiri sushi – 2” x 1”
• Chain Length: 1.75”
• Powered By: 3 button cell batteries (LR753)
• Material: Metal chain, plastic vibrator case, questionable sushi sleeve
• Compatible Lubricants: Water-based only
• Speeds: 1-speed
• Water-Proof: No

Packaging: This vibrator came from Japan in a box with the typical customs form on it. You don’t have to worry. What was written on the form was just “toy (no lithium battery)” and “health item”. So, nobody has to know that you’ve ordered sex toys from Japan.

You’ll have to pardon my finger and the fact that this is already ripped. I got too excited and opened the box before taking pictures. Oops...

The packaging of the actual massager isn’t as discreet. The toy is fully visible, and I would assume most people would be able to figure out what this toy is for, even if they don’t read any Japanese. The fish looks like it’s having an orgasm, and there’s a diagram of how to remove the vibrator and replace the batteries. I’ve translated the entire package and, unfortunately, it mentions nothing about what the sushi sleeve is made from...

You can recycle the plastic clam shell packaging and the paper insert. It comes in four other designs, but I haven’t seen J-List stock them just yet. Below is a close-up of what the front of the paper insert looks like.

Material: I have no idea what material this thing is made of. I’ve tried to translate the packaging, and material information is nowhere to be found on it. The little recycle symbol says that the case is plastic, which I’m pretty sure is referring to the packaging. However, the battery compartment is plastic. I have no idea what the sushi part is made of. It’s too soft to be plastic, and it smells like rubber, but really funky rubber… I’m going to assume that this probably has phthalates in it. I’ve asked two companies, and they’ve been unable to tell me what material it is. I can’t contact the manufacturer, because they require being a retailer...

Since I can not determine the material, I am going to assume that it is porous. I would not recommend sharing this vibrator between partners.

Compatible Lubricants: Due to the fact that I can’t determine the exact makeup of the material, I would advise using water-based lubricants only.

Design: The packaging says, “ほんものそっくり!” In other words, it’s supposed to be lifelike. However, I feel it should say, “ほんものそっくりじゃないです。” It isn’t lifelike.

I’d say it’s close – maybe you could fool someone from a distance – but I was disappointed to see that it’s not as lifelike as the product picture would have me believe. Instead of being a bright, slightly wet-looking piece of tuna on rice, perfectly colored to match the real thing, it’s rather orange, and that’s only on top. The sides and underneath of the piece of tuna are more of a light peach color. The rice looks pretty good, though.

Also, the construction may make this a rather iffy toy to use as a zipper pull or phone strap. The vibrator easily pulls out of the sushi sleeve, and it’s easy to accidentally turn the vibrator on because the switch is moved by plastic loop that holds the chain. If you use it as a zipper pull and try to zip/unzip something, you may end up pulling the sushi sleeve off and/or accidentally make it start buzzing. Suspicious….

I think the battery door is supposed to be hinged, but I don’t think the one on my toy was formed/inserted properly. So, the battery door only stays on because the bullet vibe is in the sushi bit. Here, you can see how the batteries are inserted, and how to turn the vibrator on/off.

Vibrations: This little bullet-style vibe is one-speed only. I would rate it about 3/5. It’s strong, but pretty average. The vibrations are very buzzy, and carry through the sushi sleeve pretty well. The rice muffles it just slightly, but I can feel the vibrations just as intense through the tuna piece as they feel directly from the vibrator.

Noise Level: This is actually a pretty quite little vibrator. I can hear it under the covers, but not through a closed door. I’d say that the hum is somewhere between 1-2/5. If you take the vibrator out of the sushi sleeve, though, it’s going to sound like an enraged bumble bee, due to the fact that nothing is muffling it, and the battery door and chain buzz around more.

Cleaning: Because I’m not entirely sure of the material for this, I would suggest soap and water. It’s going to be tricky cleaning all those nooks and crannies. So, have an old toothbrush handy to get all the gunk cleaned out. For the vibrator, only wipe that down with a toy wipe, antibacterial wipe, or slightly damp cloth. Do not get that wet, as it is not waterproof.

Storage: Yes, you could use this as a zipper pull or a phone strap but, like I said earlier, the vibrator isn’t secured within the sushi sleeve and can come out easily. Plus, it’s easy to accidentally turn the thing on.

You could just stick it in your bag, or store it in a drawer. Do not let this touch other toys, lest you have to deal with the materials having a reaction to each other and causing the structure of the material to be compromised (In other words, your toys could melt together. I’ve had it happen.).

Opinion: Honestly, I’m disappointed. It doesn’t look as nice as I was expecting, the material stinks and could contain hazardous phthalates (although I have yet to get any confirmation on this), and it’s not going to make a good zipper pull because the vibrator isn’t secured and it could accidentally be turned on. The vibration and noise levels aren’t bad, but the material makes me wonder… Although I could secure the vibrator inside the sushi sleeve and just not put the batteries back in to use it as a zipper pull, I won’t be doing that. It just smells too bad, and I don’t want to have to worry about it. I won’t be keeping the Sushikko Massager.

Review of the Vibe Toys Kun

A while back, I had gotten something to review that was made by Toy’s Heart and I discovered their rather cute little mascot. At that time, all it was to me was a white outline of the bubble critter on a silver tube of lubricant. Little did I know that the company actually had a vibrator fashioned after it, and that it was Pepto-Bismol pink, just like a certain video game character. I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t resist this shot. Plus, you get to see how small it really is.

Basic Info
• Size: About the size of a ping pong ball – 2” x 3.5”
• Powered By: 2 button cell batteries (LR1130)
• Material: plastic vibrator / questionable mascot covering, rubber?
• Compatible Lubricants: Water-based only
• Speeds: 1-speed
• Water-Proof: Yes
• Anal-Safe: No

Packaging: This cute little vibe came from Japan in a box with the usual customs form/labels on it. There was nothing to indicate there was a sex toy inside. The label just said “toy (no lithium battery)” and “health item”.

Ignore my finger and the big rip in the form. I got a little too excited and cut open the package before taking pictures…

Despite being able to see the toy inside, I have to say that the product packaging is fairly discreet. The only things that would suggest that this is a sex toy is the fact that it says that it’s water-proof and for ages 20 & up. As long as whoever is looking at this package can’t read Japanese, you should be fine. There’s a phrase in Japanese on the back of the packaging that states this is a “cute mascot vibrator”.

There really isn’t a whole lot of information on the packaging. It states that the plastic box and inner card are recyclable. Also included is the manufacturer’s website, a safety warning, and that’s all.

There is no information on the material of this vibrator or how to operate it. If your vibrator seems dead on arrival, push it out of the mascot cover, unscrew the cap, and take out the circular paper insert. Replace the cap, shove it back in the mascot, and it should be good to go.

Material: As stated earlier in the review, the packaging says nothing about the material used to make the mascot or the vibrator within. However, by the smell of the mascot, my husband and I have agreed that our best guess is rubber. It’s firm yet flexible and has that certain smell to it. The mascot has a matte finish to it.

The vibrator inside is obviously made of plastic, and has a glossy finish to it.

I would not recommend that this toy be shared between partners. For one, I suspect that it’s rubber, which means that it is porous and will harbor bacteria and whatnot. And two, I’m not exactly sure what material it is, so it would be better to be safe than sorry. I would venture to say that it is phthalates-free, but I’m not sure if it’s latex-free.

Compatible Lubricants: I would only use water-based lubricants with this vibrator. Although the inner vibe is plastic, and silicone-based lubes won’t damage it, I’m not so sure about the rubbery cover. I’ve tried a couple silicone-based lubes on the base with no ill effects, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Do a patch test first on the underneath of this toy. If the spot where you dabbed lube becomes tacky or gummy, scrape that stuff off, wash the toy well, and choose another lubricant.

Design / Construction: There’s not much to say about the design, other than it’s a cute little hollow pink mascot with a mini bullet vibrator inside the cavity. The only visible seam is on the underneath of the mascot where the bullet is inserted. It’s pretty easy to push the bullet out, in case you need to replace the batteries or use it by itself.

If I didn’t already know that it’s the mascot of a sex toy manufacturer, I would just assume it’s a figure of a video game character or something. It’s pretty discreet, as long as you don’t turn it over. If you turn it over, you’ll see the button to turn it on.

The vibrator is a push-button style. Push it once to turn it on. Push it again to turn it off. There’s only one speed, and it actually is waterproof. Over time, though, I’m not sure how well that will work. The seal on it is rather thin. I haven’t seen any water leak into mine. I have to say, it’s a little louder underwater.

Vibrations
• Vibration Level Inside Mascot: 1/5
• Vibration Level of Vibrator By Itself: 2/5

The vibration transfer for the vibrator within the mascot is absolutely pathetic. I can barely feel the vibrations through the arms or legs, although it does transfer through the bulbous body a bit better.

I would say that the vibrations are very buzzy, and only offer surface vibrations. This little vibrator just isn’t enough to get me off.

Inside the mascot, the vibrations only transfer through the bulbous body, spanning out and not providing the direct clitoral stimulation that I need. Using the vibrator outside of the mascot isn’t much better. The vibrations are buzzy and weak. If you are rather sensitive to vibrations, and most regular bullet vibrators are too strong for you, then I might recommend this. To anyone else, though, it’s going to be a disappointment.

Noise Level
• Noise Level Inside Mascot: 1/5
• Noise Level of Vibrator By Itself: 1.5/5

Inside the mascot, I can barely hear this vibrator under the covers. Without the mascot cover, I can hear the vibrator a little more, but not much. I can’t hear this vibe through a closed door, which is not surprising given the weak vibrations it puts out.

Cleaning: Your best bet is just going to be soap and water. Don’t bleach this or try to boil it. Because I suspect it’s rubber, which is a porous material, you won’t be able to sanitize the mascot cover.

Storage: If you won’t be using this for a while, remove the batteries. It’s always better to be safe than find that the battery compartment has become corroded by old batteries. Don’t let it touch other sex toys, as reactions can occur and compromise the structure of the material. This can result in what looks like a melted toy. You can leave this little guy out in plain sight. I doubt very many people would ever recognize this as a sex toy, unless they had already seen it online or in a store.

Opinion: So… Vibe Toys Kun is pretty quiet, but it doesn’t put out strong vibrations that I need to actually get off. Really, it doesn’t even put off moderate vibrations.. Therefore, the batteries shall be removed and it shall sit at the corner of my laptop and assist me with reviews by um… doing nothing but looking cute and staring at me. I shall buy him a tiny derby and name him Dirby, and he shall be my Dirby. At least, since he’s flexible and hollow, he’ll make a good squeeze stress toy.

When I first saw this character drawn on a lube packet, I wanted a toy version of it. I have it now, and it is cute. It would have been nice if the vibrator would have been better, but I honestly just wanted it because it’s the mascot. So…yeah.. If you just want a cute decoration, go for it. If you’re serious about wanting a good vibrator, keep shopping.

Mikes Spikes CBT Device Review

I’d had my eye on the Mikes Spikes for quite some time as I’d been enjoying inflicting cock and ball torture as a punishment for Steve. To me one of the pinnacles of this type of torture is sharp spikes to the penis upon erection which this product seemed perfect for. Huge thank you to the wonderful Uberkinky for sending this product for our test and review.

When I first received the product (quickly and discreetly as always with Uberkinky) I was immediately impressed by the look of the product. Made of stainless steel that has a great shine it certainly looked the part. Upon close inspection I could see the product was designed and manufactured well and would certainly last probably longer than Steve if taken care of.

Being made of stainless steel you can imagine it does weigh quite a bit at 300 grams. This weight does give a slight issue with use if planning to wear it whilst walking. Due to the weight and the way the spikes don’t rest fully on Steve the device does tend to slip off or give unnecessary pain sometimes.

The above didn’t really bother me however as I never intended for Steve to walk around with the device on. My plans for this CBT device was much more sinister as I planned to use it with Steve being completely restrained.

Preperation work..

Cuffed his ankles and wrists to the bed tightly

Clamped the Mikes Spikes around his penis

Slowly tightened each of the 28 sharp spikes via an allen key

Set up a video camera to stream the feed to my phone and record the events

Set up a safe word

I then put his favourite porn movie on a tv and left the house with phone in hand looking forward to a great show. I was glued to the phone video and couldn’t concentrate on my friends conversation at the pub. They once about glanced at my phone to see what had grabbed my attention so much but luckily this dom has quick hands! I could see every time he got slightly aroused by the video he was punished much to my pleasure.

After a while of video punishment I just had to get in on the action. I came back to the house and turned the TV off much to Steve’s delight as he thought the punishment was over. Unfortunately for him he’d displeased me quite a lot the past week and the video I’d been watching just spurred me on. I teased him by a number of methods I knew that get him aroused, each of which worked and ended up in him being punished (evil I know).

Worry not he did get his reward for satisfying me especially with that video. As I unscrewed each of the 28 screws a happy sigh came from Steve, I think he could tell from my body language he knew sex was inevitable. After unclamping the Mikes Spikes I gave a thorough inspection of his penis which was undamaged but did have a few spike imprints on the skin which quickly vanished.

After quite a session with Steve I just had to ask him how it was for him. He told me he really enjoyed the experience and that the spikes were very sharp and was quite painful but not unbearable. He also said that even if he didn’t have the porn he most likely wouldn’t be able to contain himself. Knowing he couldn’t get an erection spurred him on.

I do have a slight issue with adjusting the spikes as some can be a bit stiff to turn and in an emergency some are impossible to turn unless using an allen key which is a shame. This issue is only slight and really doesn’t make me even slightly dislike the product however.

Even though this product has a lock please don’t think this item can be used as a chastity device. I’m not sure why some stores class this as such a device as the wearer can easily get out by unscrewing the spikes enough so he can pull out. This product is classed correctly on Uberkinky as a cock and ball torture device which it does extremely well.

You can use this product to be worn around the scrotum but I’ve mainly tended to use it for around Steve’s penis as it performs very well that way.

Steve’s Opinion

Never have I liked to be punished more so than with the Mikes Spikes. The spikes are sharp enough to cause pain but not enough to pierce skin (not yet anyway). It’s quite a ritual locking up and tightening and then loosening the spikes after punishment and it is definitely part of the fun.

Rox’s Opinion

I adore the Mikes Spikes as it allows me to punish Steve whenever he’s got an erection. As in the review I don’t even need to be in the house for him to be punished. The video I captured on him will be a treasured item of mine, which I’m sure I’ll extend next time his disappoints me. Highly Recommended!

Review of the Tantus Tsunami Vibrator

The Tantus Tsunami is a beautiful water-proof silicone vibrator with a series of choppy waves and a lovely rounded head. Each wave crest is intended to provide targeted pressure for G-spot stimulation like no other. Because of the flared base, it’s also anal-safe, and can be used in a harness for strap-on play. If you want to, you can also take the bullet vibrator out of the cavity to use the silicone dildo by itself and/or use the bullet vibrator as a clitoral vibe.

Packaging: The product packaging is very typical of Tantus toys. Inside a clear plastic box, you’ll find the silicone dildo and bullet vibrator cradled in form-fitting plastic. Printed on the outside of the box is information about Tantus, the silicone that they use, and brief cleaning instructions. No lubricant recommendations or cleaning/care instructions are printed on the box or included within it. For that information, you’re directed to their website. Because the packaging seems fairly durable, it would be suitable for toy storage.

Size / Details
• Length: 7 1/4”
• Insertable Length: 6 3/4”
• Circumference: 5 1/8"
• Diameter: 1 3/4"
• Weight: 0.4 lb
• Color: Strawberry, Midnight Purple, Purple Haze
• Bullet Length: 3”
• Bullet Circumference: 2 1/8”
• Powered By: N-1 Battery (Included)
• Harness Compatibility: O-ring compatible (1.5”)
• Waterproof: Yes
• Power: N-1 battery (included)


My wedding ring is a size 4, so most things I hold look rather larger.

Material / Firmness: All Tantus sex toys are made from 100% Premium Platinum silicone, one of the highest quality silicones out there. If this is properly cared for, it can last a lifetime. Plus, it’s phthalates-free, latex-free, has no taste or odor, and can be easily sterilized with a number of different methods.

The bullet is made from ABS plastic with a shiny silver coating. It also has a purple silicone washer to prevent fluids from entering the small vibrator, and a purple silicone control button.

If the silicone dildo is properly sterilized in-between partners, this toy can be shared. I would be very careful cleaning/sharing the bullet. Fluids could get trapped in tiny crevices, and you wouldn’t want to accidentally transmit anything. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem, but it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.

The firmness, while softer than what I was expecting, still isn’t that forgiving. If you’ve ever had one of those little super balls that bounce all over the place, that’s about how firm the silicone of this vibrator is. It has a little give, but it is overall very firm. It can be bent in half with a little effort, but it readily snaps back into shape. Because the cavity to accommodate the bullet vibrator is 2 1/2” long, taking the bullet vibrator out does soften up the lower half of the shaft a bit.

Compatible Lubricants: It’s best to use water-based lubricants only with this toy. Tantus toys can withstand a lot of silicone-based lubes, but silicone toys and silicone lube don’t always play together nicely. If you plan on using a silicone-based lubricant, test a small drop on the base first. If, after a while, the area feels sticky or gummy, wash/scrape the area clean and use a different lubricant.

I personally prefer to use water-based lubricants only, and am partial to the Sliquid line of lubes.

Texture / Design: The Tantus Tsunami is a beautifully well-made dildo with no seams and a very smooth, semi-matte finish. It has some drag to it, so a good water-based lubricant is recommended.

Below the rounded, curved head is a series of three waves, each a little shorter than the last as they reach the base. These waves wrap around the the shaft and produce a series of 3 ridges closer towards the base, as well as some long strokes down from the head. The top of the base is embossed with the Tantus logo, while the bottom is smooth and glossy.

The base of the dildo easily fits in my small hand, is o-ring compatible, and has a textured cavity to accommodate the bullet vibrator that is included. This texture prevents an airtight seal that could trap the bullet inside. Still, if you cram the bullet in too far, it can be difficult to get it back out. Lubing up the hole before inserting the bullet is a good idea. If you find you can’t get it out, wiggle the bullet back and forth, dripping lube into the crevices created when moving it. You should be able to jiggle it lose after a while. If not, then it’s time to get the pliers out… which I’ve had to do...

As for the bullet, it’s very smooth, aside from the embossed logo. It looks very much like a bullet, and has a slightly pointed tip for pinpoint stimulation. If you have to use the pliers to remove it from the dildo, it’s probably going to end up with some divots and/or scratches on it. Mine has some. I don’t particularly like bullet vibes, though. So, it’s not that big of a deal to me.

Noise Level: The amount of noise this little bullet vibe makes is about a 2/5, whether or not it’s in the vibrator cavity of the dildo. You’re probably going to hear it under the covers, but it can’t be heard through closed door.

Vibration Level: The bullet vibrator included with this silicone dildo is a one-speed, push-button vibe. It has fairly buzzy surface vibrations, which I would say are moderate in strength. My husband and I have agreed on 2.5/5 when used without the dildo. It’s okay for clitoral stimulation, but it’s been delegated to more of a last-resort sort of vibe for me, if all my other vibes lose their charge.

When inserted into the vibrator cavity of the dildo, we’re stuck between giving it a 1.5/5 or a 2/5. The vibrations carry decently well, but they certainly are dampened by the silicone and are strongest at the base. I can’t really feel much of the vibrations, once this is in me, and find the vibrator rather pointless. I’m used to stronger vibes, and this just doesn’t cut it.

Vaginal Use: The waves may look a little intimidating, but they’re actually very manageable for me. I can’t quite make it past the last wave, but the others are fairly easy to insert and less intense than I thought they would be.

With plenty of water-based lubricant to help, the head slides in with no issue, and I can get over the first wave. There’s not a whole lot of sensation from thrusting past the first wave. It’s rather tame, and this upper half of the shaft feels rather smooth to me. However, the head is great for firm pressure for G-spot stimulation.

I can generally only make it past the second wave. The last wave is just too far down for me to get to. Because the silicone used for this dildo is firmer than some other silicone toys that I have, it just doesn’t feel comfortable for me to try to get it inserted all the way to the base. I can feel the second wave more than the first, and it does provide a little more pressure. If I plan to take the toy to this length, I generally stick with moderate thrusts. Otherwise, it can feel like too much.

It’s not particularly filling, compared to some of my other toys and it feels really smooth to me, despite the waves. So, its main lure is the wondeful G-spot stimulation that it can provide.

Anal Use: Make sure you take plenty of time to warm up and use plenty of lube. The rounded head can slip right off a tight anus, and you don’t want to cause any damage just trying to jam it in.

I can’t say that the Tsunami is one of my favorite toys for anal. The shape makes it so that I can’t get past the first wave, and the firmness is harder than what I usually prefer. It takes me a decent amount of time to warm up to the size and get past the first wave. Really, this is bigger than I usually prefer for anal. Also, since the vibrations don’t reach the tip very well, there’s not much stimulation from the bullet vibrator. My husband can only make it past the first wave, too. The firm, rounded, curved tip is excellent for prostate stimulation but, like me, he can’t feel much from the vibrator either. Though he has been able to take larger toys, the last couple of waves are just something he doesn’t feel he can get past, or wants to get past.

Cleaning: The silicone dildo part of this vibrator is rather easy to clean. Warm water and a mild soap free of silicone derivatives will do the trick, along with toy wipes and toy cleaner. For a thorough sterilization, you may opt to boil it for 5-10 minutes, wipe it with a 10% bleach solution, or send it through the dishwasher on the top rack with no detergent. Be sure to remove the bullet beforehand! The bullet may also be cleaned with soap and water, toy wipes, or toy cleaner. I would suggest using a spare toothbrush, as fluids can get trapped in the logo, and possibly under the washer and button. Be careful cleaning around the washer and button, though.

Storage: Always remove batteries from vibrators before storage. Not only does it extend the life of the battery, but it may also extend the life of the vibrator, since you’re removing the threat of corrosion from a battery going bad.

If you wanted, you could just return this vibrator to its original packaging, which should hold up well over time. Otherwise, I would recommend some sort of storage pouch or something to keep it safe from dust, hair, and other particles. Don’t let the silicone touch other toys. Toys of varying materials can react and eventually cause reactions that look like melting or other issues.

Opinion: While the Tantus Tsunami Vibrator is really a lovely, well-made toy, I’m not sure how much use it’s going to get around here. I’m usually not patient enough to try to work up to a G-spot orgasm, and the same can be said for hubby for prostate stimulation. Really, though, I think the only thing I have to complain about is how weak the bullet is, and how it can get stuck, but I already knew what I was getting into with that.

Overall, if you’re looking for a great G-spot toy with mild-moderate vibrations, then this would be a good investment. It’s high-quality and made of a material that can be easily sterilized and used for years and years to come. Plus it’s anal-safe, making it great for prostate stimulation, and it works well for harness-play. If you want one for yourself, the green links or pics will take you right to it!

Review of the Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toy Case

As some of you may know, my husband and I recently had to move due to our old neighbor’s chain smoke leaking into our apartment. (Yuck! >.<) Moving was an absolute pain in the ass. It had to be done, though.

Thankfully, I had my Tunti Illuminating Boudoir Toy Case to store at least some of my toys.

Yes, I have loads of them. And that pic was taken before I realized I had more to unpack. About 5 or so more toys are missing from that pic. I was too worn out by that time of the day to redo the pic. Sorry, but you’ll just have to imagine.

It was pretty much just my Bad Dragon toys (cumming Anthro Dragon, Tailstretcher, Tentacle, and Dragoness) that were stored in the case along with another Tentacle from Whipspider. (FYI Currently waiting on another Tentacle dildo from Zeta Paws. I can’t wait!) All my BD toys are pretty big. The ones I couldn’t stuff into the case were wrapped in lingerie and stuffed into a drawer that was duct taped shut. What? My parents were helping us move. I couldn’t let them know about all the naughty stuff I have! I mean… geez! That would be embarrassing enough to turn me 10 shades of red!

I wish I had at least 3 more of them when we were packing things up. Not only is it a gorgeous and very spacious case, it also has locks! That made me feel loads better when I handed it off to my mom. No chance of it coming open without me unlocking it. *sigh of relief* –_-;

It pretty much looks like the big brother of a case we use for our digital camera.

Ok, let’s go through the basics of the inside:

1. Light Pink Plexiglass Removable Center Divider: No need to worry about your goodies getting all jumbled up when you pick the case up. The pinkish plexiglass divider is there to keep everything in the bottom section in place no matter what. Plus, there’s a little ring attached in the center to it to make it easier to pull up.

2. Four Moveable Dividers: Notches are in both the center divider and the sides of the case so that you can insert the moveable dividers any way you please. With the variety in size and shape of toys, this definitely comes in handy. Made of the same cushioned foam used to line the bottom section of the case.

3. Center Divider: This is not removable, but does have notches so that you can create specialized sections with the moveable dividers that are included. Made of the same cushioned foam used to line the bottom section of the case.

4. Mesh Pouch (Bottom Back): Very useful for storing condoms, lube sample packets, pasties, body jewelry, bondage rope, and those pesky little micro batteries that always seem to get lost.

5. Mesh Pouch (Top Section): Much bigger than the pouch in the bottom of the case. Store lube bottles (Or even syringes in my case. Anthro Dragon can’t cum w/o it.), bigger batteries, remotes, or even toys in this pouch. The top of the case is lined with crushed velvet.

6. Battery compartment: Requires 2 AA batteries to power the LEDs.

7. LEDs: 4 bright LED lights illuminate the toy case when opened, just like a refrigerator. No need to turn on the lights and ruin the mood when reaching for a toy. Or, if you wake up with the midnight hornies from a wet dream, you can pull out a toy for yourself without having to blind yourself by turning on the lights. (I’m a total mole. If I have to get up in the middle of the night, I hate turning on a light. It hurts my eyes >.<) LEDs are small, bright, and don’t take much energy to run. Your batteries should last quiet a long time.

Overall, I love this case to pieces. Not literally, of course. If I really did love it to pieces, I’d be crying and trying to super glue them back together. 5/5 Must have for toy lovers! ^-^
