Where's The Glitter?

I love Vamp. This realistic dildo is a great size for intermediate and advanced users. It's also very safe to use and easy to care for. It worked like a charm on my partner during strap on play. My only con with it is the amount of glitter in the silicone. I was expecting it to be a bit more glittery. I won't hold that against Vamp, though, since it worked so well for us.

Use

Vamp is a realistic silicone dildo. It can be used either anally or vaginally. The flared base makes it safe to use for anal play. The O-ring compatible base also makes it great for strap on play. If desired, Vamp can be taken into the shower, as it is waterproof. The base works as a suction cup, so you can stick it to the walls of your shower for hands-free play. You'll have to make sure either the base of Vamp or the wall of the shower are wet for it to get the best suction.

Vamp is not for beginners, so you may need to take care when using it. It's not intimidating in size or appearance. It's just a bit bigger than a few dildos. I suggest that you warm up with a smaller toy if you are a beginner to dildo play.

For play with a partner, you can use a harness or simply thrust it with your hands. I use Vamp exclusively for anal strap on play with my partner.

Material / Texture

Vamp is made of 100% silicone. It is hypoallergenic and phthalate free. Silicone is a completely body safe material to use. You won't have any issues with the material causing burning sensations like you may with jelly. Silicone is ranked 10/10 on Eden's material safety scale. It's nonporous and safe to share with a partner after it's been washed. It's also safe to switch between using Vamp vaginally and anally as long as you wash it before switching orifices.

The silicone feels really smooth. It does have some drag to it but some lube helps get rid of that. There are some veins and ridges on Vamp that make it look a bit more realistic, but there aren't any textures other than that.

Vamp is pretty firm feeling. It can be bent and it does have a bit of squishiness to it, but it's still really firm.

It's designed to be a realistic dildo. Vamp has a larger head and slimmer shaft. It's covered in realistic ridges and veins all over it. These do not make it difficult to insert and don't really add to stimulation. It doesn't have any shading to the silicone, though, it's all one color.

Vamp does have a small amount of silver glitter in it. I ordered it for that reason. I was actually expecting a lot more glitter than what it actually has. I have to hold it very close to my eyes to see any glitter. Any further away, it just looks like a regular dildo of one color.

The texture of Vamp is suitable for users of any level.

Right out of the packaging, Vamp had no scent or taste. If yours happens to have either, simply wash it off with some soap and warm water and leave it out to air out.

Design / Shape / Size

Vamp is realistic, however it is a bit larger than the average penis size. It measures 7 1/2 inches long, with 7 inches of that being insertable. The shaft measures 5 inches in circumference and the head measures 5 1/4 inches around at its widest point. The bulbous head can be a bit difficult to insert, however once that part is inserted, the shaft is much easier.

We use Vamp exclusively as an anal toy. It is used with a harness since it is O-ring compatible. This is the largest toy we've used so far. My fiance had a bit of difficulty with insertion at first, however once he was warmed up enough it fit him just fine. He felt the size of Vamp added a lot to the stimulation. I think the size of Vamp makes it more suitable to those who have at least some experience in dildo play. It's a bit too large for a beginner to take, either vaginally or anally. If you have difficulty inserting it, try to warm up with a smaller toy first.

I would not consider Vamp to be discreet. It's far too realistic in shape for that.

Performance

Vamp is a great dildo to keep around. The somewhat flexible body will conform to your anatomy to provide you the most pleasure. The length and girth work well to provide stimulation. The head may even provide some G-spot stimulation, depending on your anatomy.

I first used Vamp with my new harness. The harness did not have interchangeable O-rings, so getting Vamp in it was a bit of a hassle. I don't blame Vamp, however. Once Vamp was in the harness and attached to my body, I did notice it is a bit heavier than other dildos I have tried. The extra weight does take a little bit of getting used to, however it did not affect our strap on play.



Once we got Vamp lubed up, it was a bit of a challenge to get it inserted. This is the longest dildo we currently have, so getting the entire shaft inside his body took a little while. We just went slowly and I gently pulled it out a little and pushed it back in a little, slowly increasing how far it went in to warm him up. I could tell he was immensely enjoying Vamp, due to all the sighing, grunting, and dirty talking he was doing.

Vamp's suction cup base allows it to be taken into the shower for a hands-free experience. We have a tiny stall shower, so we're not really able to take this in the shower with us. There's honestly not even enough room to bend over in there. I did test it out on the wall, though, and it worked fine. With a strong tug, I was able to break the suction the base had on the wall.

Care and Maintenance

Silicone can be a pretty easy material to care for. It can be cleaned with soap and warm water or toy cleaner. If you wish, you can also boil Vamp or throw it in the dishwasher to sterilize it. I do not recommend wiping or patting it dry once it's clean because silicone attracts lint and hair very easily. Allowing it to sit and air dry would be a better choice.

Vamp can be stored in the box it comes in. If you need something less bulky, a Ziploc storage bag will work as well. I recommend keeping all silicone toys packed separately in some sort of cover to prevent them from bonding together. This messes up the silicone. Storing a toy in a bag will also keep it clean for its next use. For right now, my Vamp will be stored in the original box, due to the fact that we're out of large Ziploc bags.

Since Vamp is made of silicone, it is only compatible with water based lubes. Using a silicone lube will wreck the finish of the toy.

Packaging

Vamp comes in the same packaging most Tantus brand toys come in. It's packaged in a clear plastic box with white text on it. The top of the box opens to slide out the plastic form holding Vamp in place for display.

The packaging is somewhat informative. It states that Vamp is made of 100% silicone which is non-toxic, hypoallergenic, and phthalate free. Vamp is waterproof. Tantus says their toys are anatomically targeted for pleasure, meaning they shape them to provide the best possible stimulation for your body. The packaging does not indicate where Vamp is made.

I would not consider the packaging discreet. It's clear plastic, so Vamp can easily be seen inside of it. I would say it would be good for a gift if the receiver would not be embarrassed receiving a dildo. It doesn't have naked women or "sex toy" on it anywhere. I personally hate giving my partner sex toy gifts that the packaging is covered in naked people. It looks kinda trashy.

The box can be used for storage. It is a bit bulky compared to the toy, measuring 9 x 3 1/4 x 3 1/4, but it does the job of keeping your silicone toy from touching other silicone toys. If you choose not to save the packaging, it can be recycled.

Personal comments

Apparently Vamp is all the rage due to it's resemblance to vampire skin in the books/film series Twilight. The vampires' skin apparently glitters in the sunlight. I personally am not a fan of the stories so did not purchase Vamp for that reason. I will admit, I purchased it mainly for aesthetic reasons. I thought the skin tone would go well with all of my harnesses and I love glitter. I am disappointed it's not more glittery.

Vamp performed perfectly for us. It's the largest dildo we currently own. I was a bit worried it would be too big for my partner to take, however it turned out to be just fine. It's not intimidating looking at all, it's just a bit larger than what we were using before. Vamp performed so well for him, in fact, it will be our go-to dildo from now on.
Follow-up commentary
Vamp is still one of my favorite dildos for strap-on play. It's length and girth are a good fit for my fiance. I still like that it is pretty realistic, yet at the same time it's not colored exactly like a penis and doesn't have a lot of veins.
