Tulip plug - butt plug discontinued by Tantus - review by Incendiaire

Packaging for Tantus products is very tasteful and minimal; the toy comes inside a clear plastic box with some information printed on the outside allowing you to clearly see the item within. My first impression upon removing it from the box and inspecting it was that it had this wonderful metallic violet color, which they call "purple haze".

The Tulip is made from ultra premium silicone, a material that is very similar to that used in the "Premium Silicone" range by Doc Johnson, but which I'd be inclined to say is slightly superior. The plug is 100% silicone all the way through and molded in one solid piece with no seams, leaving a completely smooth surface. The flexibility of the material eliminates any discomfort which you might expect when trying to insert it, but it's also firm enough to push through any resistance in the muscle with ease and without losing its shape. Like other products made from this material, it does have a slight sweet artificial-fruity smell to it which isn't unpleasant at all.

The toy is 1 5/8" at the widest point on the bulb and its unique tulip-shape seems to neither aid nor hinder insertion, but it does feel incredibly comfortable when inside. Other butt plugs I've tried tend to become progressively more uncomfortable over time but I could wear this one happily for hours. The tulip has a good length neck on it, measuring around 1 1/4" or 3cm from the bulb to the base. The base itself features an hourglass-shape, which comfortably nestles between the buttocks, making it even more suitable if you're planning to spend some time walking around while wearing it. The taper on the reverse is somewhat blunt, so one wouldn't want to attempt to remove it too sharply, but with some gentle coaxing it's not a problem to take out.

I'd recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for either their first butt plug or just another one to add to their collection.

The Tulip is still by far my absolute favourite butt plug, and the toy I use more than any other.

In the nine months I've had it, I've used it on almost every play session; sometimes by itself, sometimes as a warm up before moving onto something bigger, and on other occasions I like to put it in before masturbating.

The shape and material of it make it incredibly comfortable to wear for extended periods, so much so that I've even slept with it in.

I've found that when you squeeze down hard on it while it's inside you, the tip hits you right in the prostate, leading to pleasurable sensations.

If I ever find a butt plug to surpass this one in my estimations, then I'll be quite surprised.
