Goddess - dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by Mistress Mandy

The Goddess is a high quality silicone dildo that includes a mini bullet vibe that can be inserted into the base of the didlo. While Goddess is designed to be used as a strap-on toy it can of course be used just as well solo, as the curved base design offers an excellent hand hold. The wonderfully curved shape and rippled design of the Goddess allows it to be used for G-Spot stimulation but its effectiveness in this area will vary depending on the body shape of the user.

The high quality "ultra-premium" silicone that is used to make all Tantus products, including Goddess of course, is a very luxurious feeling silicone indeed! This silky smooth silicone warms quickly to body temperature, offers the perfect balance of firmness and give, and with the addition of just a little water-based lube, glides along your curves with ease. While the material is slightly bendy it offers a firmness that does feel fairly realistic during use. The material itself has no noticeable texture, aside from a slight "drag". Otherwise it is very silky feeling. The overall feel of the material makes this toy very approachable to toy users of any experience level. Upon opening the package the material presented no smell and after cleaning there didn't seem to be any taste to the material either, both very nice features.

The ripples and curves of the toy offer added stimulation that feel absolutely divine during thrusting. Twisting the toy during insertion can be very pleasurable as well. While the overall size is rather small, the bulged head of the toy is quite a bit wider than the shaft. I found that this bulge created a "popping" sensation when I quickly inserted and removed the toy, which could be very exciting depending on what sort of mood I was in. Overall I found the Goddess to be the perfect sized toy for my tastes and was very satisfied with the swirled shape as well. Experimenting with turning the toy during thrusting to feel the curves at different angles is very enjoyable!

The combination of the sensual curves, silky smooth silicone material and the bullet vibrator makes the Goddess a very enjoyable toy. It feels absolutely amazing, it's easy to clean up and it's rather versatile as well since the bullet can be removed from the toy to be used for clitoral stimulation if desired. The only drawback is in the bullet itself. It's rather noisy and feels very buzzy. It's the type of vibrator that, to me, offers a rather metallic feeling. The vibrations are rather shallow, which mean that they don't travel through the silicone as nicely as I would like. You can definitely still feel them through the shaft, especially toward the base, and this definitely adds to the stimulation. But I would prefer them to be stronger and to penetrate deeper.

Given that the Goddess is made out of premium silicone, it is extremely easy to clean. A simple wash with soap and water or toy cleaner is usually enough, but you can also boil it, clean it with a bleach solution, or even put it in the top rack of your dishwasher (without detergent!) if you feel the need to sanitize it. This is especially important if you share your toys or if you use them anally. The material can attract lint but I haven't had much of a problem with it compared to some of my other toys, including another silicone toy that I feel is most likely made from lower quality silicone. Storage is pretty simple, just make sure to keep it from touching other silicone or jelly toys so as not to damage the material. Using a cloth storage bag, or even a plastic Ziploc bag, works well for this purpose. The bullet is also fairly easy to clean but it is NOT waterproof! Don't let the black o-ring fool you, it will leak water. So avoid cleaning the bullet under running water. Cleaning the bullet using a damp cloth and water, or toy cleaner, works well enough. I like to take the batteries out and then put it back together (empty) when I clean it, then I take it apart again to air dry before putting the batteries back in for the next use. Avoid storing the bullet with the batteries in it as this will drain the life of the batteries, which already don't last very long as is.

Tantus packaging consists of a clear plastic box with the name of the product and some basic information about it printed around the sides. This allows you to see the product right through the box, making it anything but discreet. If you're proud to display your toys then this could work well for storage but as the box is quite a bit larger than the toy itself and wouldn't stand up well to any weight being placed on top of it, I would not recommend it.

I can't say enough good things about the Goddess. This toy is so amazing to me and I can't get enough of it! The material is beautiful, the shape of it feels amazing and it is so easy to clean. While the bullet isn't really anything exciting it is a nice thing to have as it adds to the stimulation provided by the toy itself. I'm sure you could probably "upgrade" it if you wanted to, and I might do this myself, but it's still a nice bonus and the main feature is the dildo anyway.
