Echo - dildo by Tantus - review by Cinnamon Chambers

In the Echo from Tantus you get a toy with many options, exquisite styling, and the best in premium grade silicone. Having it just a few weeks has given me an appreciation for this toy and the rest of the Tantus brand. All their toys are "green" and they are all made right here in the USA. Even their solvents used in cleaning their machinery are FDA approved and are recyclable. From the packaging that is minimal and 100% recyclable to the long lasting and safe silicone, Tantus is a company that is looking out for what is safest for our bodies and the Earth.

The Echo I chose is a gorgeous Peacock teal. It has the same pearlescent appearance that the other colors have as well. From the head you get a large protruding bulb that feels glorious! Along the shaft the shape of the head is replicated numerous times to create an obvious set of ripples that your body will appreciate. On the back side of the shaft there is a ridge like spine. When using this toy all of these features are felt and create very intense stimulation through out the vagina. The silicone material is firm, but is smooth enough to not cause the texture to be abrasive to sensitive tissues. With a circumference of four and 3/4 inches and six inches of usable length this toy is a perfect in size as it could be.

On the underside of the Echo there is a canal that a bullet can be inserted into to cause the toy to vibrate. I have found the bullets that Tantus includes to be powerful, and easy to operate with a simple push button on/off function. Though the bullet is loud when not inserted, after it is inside the shaft of the Echo it is whisper quiet. Remember to use lubrication on the bullet when inserting it to keep it from getting stuck. The vibrations carry easily through out the toy, but I still prefer to use this toy as just a dildo. The silicone is thick enough that even at the bottom of the shaft where the bullet goes it does not feel hollow during use.

Since the Echo has a flared base, it is harness compatible and safe to use for anal sex. I have tried it on the inner side of a harness only, providing vaginal penetration for myself during use. It was awesome when used in this manner. The base is a little soft and I suggest using the smallest O ring that will fit it when using it in a harness to prevent the toy from coming loose at the base. The only drawback for this and all silicone toys is that water based lubrication is your only option. The Echo can be sanitized with a 10% bleach solution, washed in the top rack of the dishwasher with out soap, or even boiled for three minutes. If the toy will be shared between being sanitized, always use a condom and put your health and safety first.
