Curve kit - harness and g-spot dildo set discontinued by Tantus - review by ScottA

Tantus harness kits combine an excellent dildo with a good harness, and the Curve Kit is no exception. It combines two winners: the Tantus Curve dildo and the Sportsheets Latigo Leather harness.

This is a good kit for anyone who is interested in strap-on play, has a bit of experience with dildos (especially if you're using it for anal sex), and wants to buy a single kit that combines a good harness and an excellent dildo that works well with it.

The Latigo Leather harness is a good value harness that will fit most people securely, and the Tantus Curve is an excellent mid-range dildo good for vaginal or anal use. Whether you're interested in a harness setup for vaginal sex, or a harness setup for anal sex/pegging, or one that will work for both (the Curve is easy-clean and sterilizable!) the Curve Kit deserves a look.

The harness slid on and tightened up easily with a pull of the straps, providing a firm foundation for the Curve dildo. Removing the harness was almost as easy, requiring only that the tabs on the ladder locks be raised. We were able to discover this function rapidly as we forgot to install the dildo first, and it can be difficult to insert the dildo while wearing the Latigo Leather harness. Once the Curve was in the O-ring and the straps were cinched down again the security of the harness/dildo combination was proved. The tip of the Curve didn't flop at all walking around the house, a testament to the design of both the Curve and the harness. When the harness was cinched down tight the O-ring was pulled a bit wider than its nominal 1-1/2" diameter, but the base of the Curve was beefy enough to stay solidly mounted. If you're using a dildo with a smaller base you might want to try a metal ring, though.

The nylon webbing was comfortable, but as with all nylon webbing the edge can be a bit irritating if you're not used to it. It conformed well to the body, making the harness unobtrusive and wearable under clothes. Another advantage of the nylon is breathability - you can wear this harness for many hours without getting sticky underneath. The ladder locks worked well for adjustments, didn't cause any pinches during testing and held the harness well during use.

Since harnesses can be worn by either women or men I tried on the harness as well. On a man the penis will likely interfere with the leather pad, but without the leather pad the harness worked well on me as well as my wife, holding the Curve a bit above my penis.

The Curve dildo worked wonderfully - insertion was easy thanks to the tapered head, and the texturing added a bit of interest to the dildo without being too much anally. For hand-held vaginal use, the Curve comes with a small ridge that bumps up against your clit at full insertion for a bit of added interest. The top feature of the Curve dildo was undoubtedly the curve - it was just right for prostate or G-spot stimulation with every thrust

One of the excellent features of this set is that it's easy to take care of. The silicone dildo can be used with any water or oil based lube, and possibly even some silicone lubes (although this is generally not recommended, Tantus has information https://tantusinc.com/content/got-lube%E2%84%A2-part-1 ).
After you're done playing, cleanup is easy as well. Silicone can be cleaned with soap and water easily and if you want to sterilize it you can use a 10% bleach solution or boil it for a few minutes.

The harness is almost as easy to take care of. The straps and O-ring can be washed by hand or by machine, using whatever soap you want. The leather pad is a bit harder, but it can be washed with saddle soap and have some leather conditioner put on it if it starts to dry out. Personally, we remove the leather pad if things are likely to get messy, thus leaving a very easy to clean setup.

When removing the pad or O-ring it's best to do it one snap at a time, since it's easy to get things crossed. Having gotten into this jam barely 5 minutes after opening the package I am also able to share a tip about getting things back together: snap on one strap to the O-ring, get the harness as "on" as you can, and then reattach the rest of the straps, "building" the harness around your body. Much easier than trying to puzzle it out on the bed or table.

The Curve Kit comes in Tantus' minimum-waste packaging of a staple sealed plastic bag with cardboard top identifying what it was. While not very showy, it does make effective use of natural resources, and the quality of Tantus' products speak for themselves even without showy packaging.

Having heard about the Curve dildo, I was excited to try it out - and in a strap-on kit no less!

When my Curve Kit arrived I rushed to check out the contents - a nylon harness and the Curve Dildo, with its pronounced curve, nicely tapered head, and gentle ripple texturing up one side of the shaft.

While the harness didn't immediately look like anything special, it certainly performed well during use. The straps were easy to adjust and it hugged J's features very well, and since I'm a bit of a butt man I appreciated the way the black straps framed her cheeks. As an experiment I also tried on the harness, and found that without the pad it worked quite well on a man as well.

Once the two pieces of the kit (harness and dildo) were put together the fun really began. The Curve does everything it claims to and ought to based on its family history, apparently combining the best features of the Acute and the best features of the "car" family (Compact/Sport/Luxury) to provide a winning dildo. The midrange size is very good, and it's long enough to enable mostly-unrestrained pegging without either player having to worry about the head popping out. In all the positions tried the Curve made perfect contact with my prostate, giving this dildo the stimulating power of a substantially larger model.

The ripple texture along one side provided a pleasant extra burst of feeling as it ran in and out of the anus or vagina, and was gentle enough that we never had to worry about irritation from rapid thrusting, even when I clenched down my anus in response to a mid-peg handjob.

Short answer - I highly recommend this for anyone interested in harness play who either doesn't have a harness yet or has an unsatisfactory harness. It works well and will stay with you for a long time.
