Sherbet - dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by Jimbo Jones

How should I describe the Sherbet by Tantus? This thing is a bright colored harness-compatible silicone dildo that has a bulge with swirl contours at the end of a curved shaft. It also conveniently is hollowed out on the base end to allow for insertion of the included bullet vibrator. There you have it, all the pieces of what I would consider a perfect dildo. It really does it all for me, so I really love the Sherbet.

Let’s see, how many ways have I found to use this thing? I have used it vaginally on my partner both with and without a harness. I have had my partner use it on me anally as well both with and without the harness. I have used it by myself in the shower both with and without a cool suction cup insert that I bought from Tantus. That suction cup is well worth the small investment, but it deserves its own review if Eden ever starts selling it. Send me an e-mail or leave a comment if you want information on how to acquire a suction cup. Getting back to the Sherbet, in every application it was up to the task and produced extremely satisfying orgasms for both of us. I find that I enjoy the decrease in size after the bulb is in and I like the smooth shaft which eases anal thrusting. The curve is great for prostate and g-spot stimulation. It wasn’t rigid enough to milk the prostate for me, but I could definitely feel the head as it moved past the prostate. The bullet vibrator didn’t add too much to the experience for me or my partner. Although the vibrations due tend to carry down the shaft pretty well, they just aren’t strong enough to make a big impact. I give Tantus credit for including the vibe though and providing a way for it to be applied. I have since purchased a micro bullet vibe with wired controller that is quite a bit stronger than the original bullet, and have to say that it does add some impact to the vibrations of the Sherbet. Don’t get me wrong silicone will never carry vibration like a metal or glass toy, but it makes it better and allows it to be felt.

Now, since the Sherbet is a silicone dildo, it is easy to clean and you can even sterilize it. The inertness of silicone also means that with a little care the toy will last a lifetime. This is good because it seems as though Tantus has decided to stop making the Sherbet. I have to think this is due to poor sales. It must be difficult to market such a distinctive looking toy, but for me, the Sherbet really hits the spot.

My partner and I have used several different dildos in our harness. Luckily we have a harness with a removable o-ring so that it can be adapted to whatever size dildo we want to use. In many instances the ring that came with the harness works great, but occasionally we have to switch the o-ring out to accommodate a smaller toy. Many Tantus toys have flanged bases for use in a harness, and the Sherbet is no exception. The base isn’t as big as those provided by other manufacturers, but as long as the o-ring is sized properly for the shaft of the toy and doesn’t stretch too much, it should be fine. Morale of the story is: make sure you have the right size o-ring for the toy you want to use. We didn’t personally have a problem, but we would hate for some one else to run into trouble.
