Raptor - realistic dildo by Tantus - review by Lucidity

The Raptor is a beautiful, solid silicone dildo, made by Tantus. It is about medium firmness, making it rather comfortable for its size. It's a straight, phallic shape, with tight little balls, a fairly pronounced head, and some subtle vein texture on the shaft (more for show thank internal sensation).

Here's a picture of the Raptor and the Anaconda side-by-side.

Size-wise, Raptor stands 8" tall, with 4 3/4" of that being insertable. The head is 6" around and the shaft comes in at 5" around. The base makes it O-ring compatible, and the balls make it safe for anal play. The length and softness means that you can probably feel comfortable putting it in a partner's hands and not worrying about having your bits bruised. Though please use water or oil-based lube (not silicone, unless you want to risk melting your toy), because this is a pretty thick toy. The silicone hold temperature very well and warms up quickly, it also transfers vibration nicely, if you hold a wand-type vibrator to the base.

Care and feeding of your Raptor is easy! Wash before and after each use because it will pick up plenty of lint. The quality silicone can be sanitized and therefore shared between partners and orifices by boiling for 5 minutes, washing in the top rack of the dishwasher (no soap, please), using antibacterial toy wash, or a 10% bleach solution. I don't do much sharing, so I simply wash it with warm water and anti-bacterial soap.

The orange color of this is simply amazing. It is very bright and has gold-flecks imbedded in it. The way it shines in the light makes it look like it's glowing.


I store my Raptor in the original packaging. It comes in Tantus' clear box with fitted clam-shell, which seems like the best way to keep it clean and safe.

I love the way Raptor feels. It fills me up, but isn't too long. The base and balls make it really easy to hold on to and thrusting with it feels very nice, especially when combined with a clit vibrator.
