Tsunami - strap-on g-spot dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by llellsee

Packaging:

The Tsunami arrives in Tantus’ usual style of packaging, a clear plastic box which is free of any sexual imagery. On the back and sides of the packaging you will find plenty of information about the silicone used in Tantus toys.

It arrived in what I know as the slightly smaller size of Tantus box, fitting nicely in it with no excess packaging. As the clear plastic box is so transparent, it gives you the advantage of being able to see the toy from every angle while it still sits in the packaging. The included bullet vibrator which even has ‘Tantus’ engraved on its side fits into its base and arrives sitting separately in the box.

First Impression:

Made by Tantus in three color options, I opted for the beautifully shimmery ‘Strawberry Pink’ color . With its shiny finish silicone; this pink appears metallic, reflecting shades of pink and purple when light hits it.




The design of the Tsunami really does remind me of rippling tidal waves with its curved tip and three highly pronounced ridges. Even the back of the shaft has an impressively detailed design with three smaller ridges near the base of the shaft and slightly raised texturing running along the length of the back of the shaft too.

The base of the Tsunami can either hold the accompanying bullet or when the bullet is removed it can fit within a harness for strap-on play.

Feeling the Tsunami in my hands for the first time I could feel just how smooth and shiny its finish is. With such a highly textured design I was glad to feel its smooth finish. Despite its shiny finish it does still have that ‘drag’ which is typical of silicone so I could tell that a generous amount of lube would still be needed.


Measurements:

Total length: 7 1/2 Inches

Insertable Length: 6 ½ Inches

Circumference: 5 Inches

Base Diameter: 2 ¾ Inches





In Use:

Playing with the Tsunami for the first time I made sure I was well warmed up for its texture. Adding a generous amount of lube made its rounded and well-shaped head very easy to insert. The first ridge to follow after the curved tip is less pronounced than the two that follow further down the shaft so the first few inches of the Tsunami are surprisingly gentle and can provide an adequate warm up before moving on to the more heavily raised ridges near its base.

The next ridge creates a feeling of stretch and a more intense sensation than the first ridge. While thrusting with the Tsunami shallowly inserted its curved tip provides alot of pressure on the G-spot and when inserted further the lower ridges tease with their heavily raised texture. Depending on how much of the toy you insert, I learned that you can have two very different types of stimulation. If heavy texture is too much, the first three or so inches of the Tsunami are pleasant to use as a petite G-spot toy just to apply pressure to the G-spot.

With longer thrusts, the mixture of its effective G-spot curve and textured lower ridges was enough to almost overwhelm me (in a good way) with stimulation. Used for deeper thrusting I find it is an effective toy for thoroughly satisfying me even when play time is kept short. Once fully inserted, the G-spot stimulation and massaging ridges are already quite intense and with the addition of its vibrating bullet this becomes a pretty flawless toy for me.

As is the case with alot of bullet powered vibrating dildos, the vibrations are much more powerfully felt in the base of the toy. This means that the two more pronounced lower ridges which massage the entrance and the front wall of the vagina will be where you most feel it vibrations. The tip of the Tsunami does still carry vibrations well too though. Having been disappointed with Tantus bullets before, I saw this updated and now pointed tipped bullet as a huge improvement on their older model of Tantus bullet.

While older Tantus bullets are powered by three watch batteries, this is instead powered by a single N-1. The power difference is substantial and the vibrations from this not only carry well through the full length of the Tsunami but when used by itself it makes a nice (and powerful) clitoral vibe too.

With the bullet removed from its base, the Tsunami works well as a strap-on dildo. Compatible with O-ring harnesses, it best fits a 1.5 inch O-ring and stays well put because of its sturdy base. When using it as a pegging toy we found that it provides pressure to the prostate just as well as it does to the G-spot. For anal play we preferred to insert just the first few inches of the shaft as the lower ridges are quite raised so can hard to take anally. For full insertion I can imagine only quite experienced anal players will find this both manageable and comfortable.

Care:

Made of high-quality Silicone, the Tantus Tsunami is both Latex and Phthalates free, silicone is completely non-porous meaning that it can be fully disinfected by boiling it for 3 minutes or by throwing it into the top rack of your dishwasher or it can be simply washed after use with warm soapy water or specialized toy cleaner, it is generally believed that silicone based lubricants should not be used with silicone toys. I would recommend using a generous amount of water-based lubricant with the Tsunami. Despite its G-spot stimulation, I still find that it usually requires several re-applications of lube per play session.

When not in use, I keep the Tsunami in a Zip-sealed plastic bag; this keeps it dust and lint free as silicone toys are well known for attracting hairs and dust.
