Vamp - strap-on dildo by Tantus - review by Jenn (aka kissmykitty)

I have had my eye on the Vamp dildo ever since I first discovered its existence about a year ago. At first I laughed it off as a silly novelty, something to get the teenage Edward Cullen fan girls in a tizzy. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it. Yes, I like Twilight (but for the record, I didn't intend to; I bought the first book just to see what all the fuss was about... and got hooked), and yes I have read all four books, have seen all three movies (in the theater, on opening night *cough*), and have all three soundtracks. Oh, and I even have a Team Edward shirt. But I am not a fan girl. Yet... I wanted a sparkly dildo. What can I say? I like glitter.

Vamp is a realistically styled dildo -- meaning it has the defined head, frenulum, veins, etc -- though the realism stops where the glitter starts. In defense of Vamp, his glitter is more of a fine, illuminating coating -- more sparkle and shimmer than actual chunky glitter. He is made out of pure silicone (safety first, boys and girls - silicone rates at a 10 on the Material Safety scale!), and features a base that makes him equipped for use with a harness and safe for anal use. Vamp is six and three quarter inches in length -- just perfect for those more into "realistically sized" dildos than some of the behemoths out there and has a five inch circumference. He's pretty hefty, however, weighing in at 10.5 oz -- that's almost three quarters of a pound of sparkly cock goodness!





I want to love Vamp. I really do. He's pretty and glittery and realistically designed and sized and he sparkles, goddammit. He sparkles! If you know me, you know that I love anything sparkly. Glitter makes everything better. But... Vamp is almost too firm. I'm all for realistic, but real penises have a bit of "give", know what I mean? Vamp doesn't. While I greatly enjoy using him for vaginal penetration, he's firm enough that orgasms are pleasurable yet painful (think "Ooh... ow... ooh... ack!"). So, while I will certainly bring Vamp out to play every now and again, he probably won't be my go-to dildo, simply because he's overly firm -- for me, anyway.
