Echo - strap-on dildo by Tantus - review by EagleFire

I love this toy. Made of silicone, it feels warm to the touch, which is awesome. The first time I used it, the mini-vibe got stuck inside the dildo and I had to use a pair of pliers to get it out, so it's important to remember to lube up the vibe before you insert it into the dildo. I had left my lube at my partner's house, so I used some Vaseline, and it worked just fine.

Possibly my favorite feature of the toy is its ridges. My partner and I played with it as a Kegel exerciser - we inserted it, and then she pulled on it gently while I tried to keep it inserted using my PC muscle. It was a great workout, and a lot of fun for both of us!

The size of this toy is nice, also. It's not tiny, but it's also not enormous, which makes it an awesome multi-partner toy. I'm in a fluid-bonded triad, and we all experimented with this and found it to be a comfortable fit. A quick wash with soap and water between partners makes it an easy share, although if I were going to share it with someone outside my triad I would boil it or run it through the dishwasher (or, of course, use a condom).

I did use a condom on this when inserting it anally. It worked really well because the base is large enough that I didn't have to worry about losing it inside. It isn't, however, my favorite anal toy because the base is large enough that it doesn't fit comfortably between the cheeks. It was still good times, though.

I have also used this toy to practice my fellatio (I like to sterilize it thoroughly, first.) The ridges make it lots of fun for my tongue, and it's just long enough to practice deep-throating. My partner really enjoys being deep-throated, so I have been working on my gag reflex, and this toy is great for that.

My other favorite way to use this toy? In the shower! I take out the mini-vibe and hold it under the hot water for a couple of minutes until it gets nice and toasty. Then I insert it and the heat really mimics the real deal. By twisting the toy around once it's in, I can hit the g-spot really nicely.

A few words about the mini-vibe: it isn't quite as strong as I would enjoy, but it is very nice. The size of it makes it lots of fun for vibrating other spots when it isn't inserted: such as the clit, the nipples, and pretty much anywhere you can think of. I stuck in in my partner's ear, just goofing off, and her reaction was so amazing that it's now one of my favorite things to do.

Another thing to note is that this toy is harness compatible. I enjoyed strapping it on and penetrating my girlfriend with the vibrator on - not only did she enjoy it a lot, but I enjoyed the feeling of "my cock" vibrating. :) This is a must-try!

I have nothing negative to say about the echo - I have tried it vaginally, anally, and orally, and love all three. I have also tried it on my partners, and they have enjoyed it immensely, as well. As an added bonus, it's really, really pretty. (I have the dark purple). Two thumbs up!

Important: Don't insert the mini-vibe into the toy until you have lubed it up! Otherwise, it will get stuck!
