You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you can get what you need. For many people, the only thing they need to have a decent sex life or an improved experience in the bedroom is a dildo that allows them to experience orgasms hands-free and without stupid chargers and special equipment. Enter: the strap-on dong – one of the sex toy world’s greatest inventions and one of my favorite things to play with. My only qualm has always been the discomfort and chaffing I experienced through wearing a harness for long periods of time. If only I could get the same great sensations without having to sustain a rash on my thighs and buttocks. According to the certain brands and manufacturers, I can and I will as long as I choose the right products.
One such product may or may not be the Tantus Feeldoe Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator. It came sauntering across my desk one afternoon when I was looking for a new plaything, so I ordered it knowing that my chances of getting a better orgasm were drastically improved simply by the lack of straps and buckles. My partner, on the other hand, was not happy about the fact that she’d have to start learning how to clench her ass during sex. Either way, it arrived at our house and we both lived to tell about it so the experience couldn’t have been that bad, right? Well, let me start out by making sure you all know what I’m talking about first.
What Is the Tantus Feeldoe?
Made by one of the best-known names in the sex toy industry, the Tantus Feeldoe is a strapless strap-on dildo that can be used by both men and women for vaginal and/or anal stimulation. It’s made to enhance sexual pleasure for both partners by being insertable for the wearer and the recipient at the same time. The innovative design was conceptualized as an alternative to the harnesses, straps, and buckles that often decrease the comfort levels and satisfaction of participants. Furthermore, its integrated form and functionality naturally increase both components while also making the device much safer and easier to use. Overall, it’s an ideal sex toy for couples missing certain anatomy or for individuals who like to engage in masturbation with manual/automatic stroking devices.
The Main Features
This bad boy does not play around, despite the fact that it’s not intimidating to look at or touch whatsoever. In fact, the Tantus Feeldoe features some of the softest silicone material on the market – a proprietary recipe made to mimic the sensations of skin to skin contact. It’s also dual ended which is part of its main strapless design, with one end insertable into the anus and the other end insertable into a partner’s ass or pussy. The longer end, which measures 6.75 inches in total length with a 1.75-inch diameter, features lifelike detailing on the corona and a conveniently tapered tip for easier insertion and removal. Sleek and ergonomic is the other end which fits snugly into the anal cavity of the wearer, with a total length of 2.5 inches and a cozy diameter of 1.5 inches at its widest point. The dimensions are such that both participants can enjoy internal and external stimulation at the same time without breaking the continuity of the exercise.
On top of that, the TF Strapless Strap-On features a well placed hole at the bottom of the device which houses a bullet vibrator with a single pleasure setting. The bullet is fully removeable and waterproof as well, making it easy to take care of and increasing the versatility of the toy tremendously. Everything on this thing is made strictly for maximum pleasure it seems. Even the natural angle of the shaft and anal bulb are similar to that of sex with a partner. Hell, you can use this toy during solo stimulation missions as well, holding the anal bulb as a handle like the boss you are. Either way, it’s got a set of clitoral stimulation ridges along the bottom of the shaft, so regardless of how it’s used you’re bound to have fun with it.
What Comes in the Box?
Many times, sex toys for couples will come with several accessories in the box. My belief is that some manufacturers want to sell an experience and not just a product. Either way, you generally get everything you need to start having sex immediately, but it’s still a good idea to check out what’s inside the package before getting your hopes up. Here’s what you get for the money when you buy the Tantus Feeldoe Strapless Strap-On:
- The one-piece, dual-ended masturbation device (of course)
- A removeable vibrating bullet
- 3 x LR44 batteries (installed)
I don’t recall getting any lube samples or sex toy cleaning solutions with my device, nor did I find any storage containers whatsoever. That really sucked for me because my space is very limited at home and I’m a huge germaphobe, which meant I became extremely self-conscious about the cleanliness of the toy once I used it a few times. Fortunately, the TF is super easy to take care of and clean, so the only real problem I had with ownership was finding a good place to hide it. After all, the box it came in was too flimsy to double as anything but a nice piece of trash.
The Experience
When it comes to sizing up a new sex toy, it’s important to consider the experience you had with it. What doesn’t matter is how the maker marketed it, and the way its packaged doesn’t ever determine its value. At the end of the day, a device isn’t only worth its weight in gold if it can perform its duties as intended. And I don’t care who you are or what your reputation in the industry is, I’ll still kick your ass and I’ll never apologize for it. Listen, if your sex toy acts like a dumbass when I bring it into my personal space, the whole world is going to hear about it. Here’s how it all went down in my bedroom with the Tantus Feeldoe Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator:
- The Dimensions
I hate to be a drag here, but my partner and I both agreed that the dimensions on this thing left quite a bit to be desired. I mean, it’s no bigger than the average man’s penis, and if either one of us wanted to fuck an average man we wouldn’t be using a strap-on in the first place. Also, the anal bulb could have been shaped better – maybe a smaller base diameter for improved positioning or something like that.
- The Materials
Excellent materials on this one, I’ve got to admit. The makers were going for skin to skin contact and that’s pretty much what it feels like, especially if you use plenty of water-based lube before you start.
- The Sensations
Between the slight curve, the awesome materials, and that little clit ridge section at the bottom of the base, this bad boy felt pretty great during rough thrusts and slow grooving. Again, I could have used more size (maybe an inflatable ball attachment or something similar to adjust the girth or length), but maybe I’m just having wet dreams again.
- The Functionality
It works as a substitute for a penis and it doesn’t make you break out in a rash afterwards. What more do you want?
The Ups and Downs
You do realize that there is no such thing as the perfect pleasure product, right? I mean, as a grown-up you should probably know how unique and special you are. With that said, it’s no surprise that a sex toy manufacturer can’t please every single consumer that comes their way. We are all too different for that to be possible, but a device that’s just right for you still exists. You just need to know how to find it, and the best way to do that is to carefully consider the innate pros and cons that you know damn well exist. As for the Tantus Feeldoe Strapless Strap-On, there are the things I think you should know before spending any money on it:
PROS
- Lifelike detailing on the shaft
- Bulbous anal plug for enhanced positioning
- Tapered end for easier insertion
- Clitoral stimulator ridges for maximized pleasure
- Flexible to help reach the sweet spot
- Made from skin-safe materials
- Completely waterproof (including the bullet)
CONS
- May not be the right size for all users
- Slightly disappointing power range on the bullet vibe
- Large anal bulb may be uncomfortable for newbies
The Takeaway
Overall, the Tantus Feeldoe Strapless Strap-On Dildo Vibrator is a cute little sex toy that’s perfect for kinky couples who need something a little more convenient in the bedroom. It’s obviously made to last and it’s super easy to take care of, so I can definitely understand why so many of them have been sold to people just like you and me. After all, it doesn’t take a genius to understand the value of a product like this, does it?
