Silk medium - dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by mistressg

This toy is on the smaller side, so it is good for those who are totally new to vaginal penetration or anal. It would also be great for those looking into pegging, as it smaller and harness compatible. This would be good for anal newbies because it is small, and it has more length than many plugs, which could help you work your way up to the length of a penis or a larger toy. Not to mention, it has a base, which makes it ideal for anal play. If you are a more advanced user, and you aren't a "size queen", you might still enjoy this toy for penetration. However, it seems that most advanced users prefer something that gives them more of a feeling of "fullness". Unless you are a total beginner who is pretty tight, do not expect this toy to make you feel "stretched" or "full" at all.

It is waterproof, so it is great for use in water. However, it does not have a suction cup base, so that may make some users lose interest. If you have a safe and discreet storage spot, this would be okay for roommate living. As it does not have any battery or motor, there is not a noise issue.

This toy is silicone, making it totally non-porous and body safe. However, because it is silicone, you should not use silicone lubricant with this toy, only water based. I did not really notice an odor from this toy when I took it out of the package. It is smooth all over, no texture, no bumps or ridges anywhere. It does not even have a defines head, which could make insertion a lot easier for some.

The material is a more sticky silicone, rather than a velvety silicone, as so many silicone dildos seem to be. This makes it a total dust collector. Really, I had just taken it out of the packaging and set on my bed to take a picture of it for the review, as soon as I picked it up it had collected some dust already. Because of this, I would personally keep it in a pouch.

This toy has a nice amount of flexibility. It is not super rigid or hard, which makes it easier to thrust with, and gives it less of a danger of being painful or hitting a cervix too hard. It is not "flaccid" or totally soft and bendy, but it can move with you and bend to your body, which adds a certain comfort level to it.

Again, it is o-ring compatible, it can be used with a harness.

This is not entirely realistic, as it does not have a defined head of any kind, but it is clearly phallic. In that way, it is not discreet, it is pretty obviously a sex toy.

This toy is rather small, as I said. Here it is compared to a Vibrating Champlette:

This toy has a full length of 4 3/4", and 4 1/4" is insertable, the rest of it is the base. So this isn't lengthy, it is probably one of the smaller dildos you will find. It has a circumference of 2 1/4", and a diameter of 3/4". This is slightly bigger than my Silicone Beginners Plugs, in both length and and thicker. Because of that, these are nice toy to work up from plugs. I liked that about these because that will help me comfortably work my way up towards anal sex, once I am comfortable with using it. I am just not quite ready yet, have not been in the mood. This does not have a tapered head, which could make insertion a bit more difficult. However, the lack of a head, and consistency in size the entire length of the toy, could make this toy more comfortable for some. If you want a toy with a suction cup though, this is lacking in that department; the bottom is completely flat.

This toy doesn't really have any heft to it, so if you are looking for somethings weighty, this isn't for you; it is pretty lightweight. It is small, but I'm not sure how travel-friendly it really is. Again, it is clearly a sex toy, and pretty phallic. It all depends on what you're comfortable carrying, I suppose. I know that I could easily fit this in a purse or backpack if I felt the need.

I got this for anal use, but I am still a bit intimidated to use it for that, as I just got used to my set of silicone beginners plugs. So, I actually ended up using it vaginally, and still have not used it anally. Though, I will likely being doing that soon enough, and will put my experience into the follow-up review.

Anyway, I was using my High Intensity Bullet and decided I wanted to insert a toy vaginally as well. Well, I decided to give this a shot, as I'd had it for about a week and still hadn't used it yet. To my surprise, it was actually enjoyable. I thought it wouldn't be that much fun vaginally, as I am not a beginner. Mind you, this thing is probably an inch longer than one of my partner's fingers, though to be fair he is a big guy. Still, it was fun! I actually enjoyed it more than I enjoy my Vibrating Champlette, which is the only other straight up silicone dildo that I own or have used. I am used to my partner for penetration, I'm not interested in vaginally penetrating toys so much anymore it seems, this includes dildos and rabbits. I've just mostly lost interest, and now focus on external stimulation whenever I use toys. So, I am now used to my partner for penetration, and he is SIGNIFICANTLY larger than this toy, in both width AND length. Even still, I had fun using this toy for penetration. I even put one of the Eden Fantasys Vibrating rings on it, and even though the vibrations are weak on those rings, I enjoyed it. I tried it with a Mio ring, and that ring seemed to be a little bit loose on it, but I had even more fun with that. This just might get me back into using penetrative toys again. All around, it is nice, and not necessarily just for beginners. It is easy to use, and comfortable to use.

This toy isn't as big as a lot of toys, so it is easy to store. It's silicone, so you will want to mind that when storing it. Silicone can affect and be affect by other materials if it is stored with them, so it is best to keep it with toys that you are SURE are 100% silicone. As I previously mentioned, this one is a bit of a dust collector, so keeping it wrapped in a cloth, or in a pouch, would probably be the best way to store it. As the back of the box mentioned, there are many ways to clean this. It can be boiled, put in the top rack of the dishwasher, cleaned with a bleach solution, or cleaned with regular soap and water. Also, if you have toy cleaner or toy wipes, you could use those too. I have heard that certain brands of silicone toys, Tantus being one of them, can dent up if not stored properly, so you may want to keep that in mind.

The packaging, as you can see, is not at all discreet. It is also too bulky for me to even consider using it for storage. It includes some info on the quality of the material and how to care for it, which is a nice touch for anyone getting this that is new to silicone.

I love the color of this toy, I just thought I would add that. It is just the prettiest, iridescent purple color! It is possibly the prettiest thing in my toy box.

It is available in pink and black, as well. It is nice that it has multiple color options, for those who are partial to pink, or prefer something dark. Though, of the color choices, this would have to be my favorite. I think the color of the toy really makes this that much better. It is kind of iridescent, and a slightly shimmery pastel purple....and I pretty much hate pastels! This is an exception. The way the silicone looks swirled adds another element of visual pleasure to this toy.
