Real strapless strap on - vibrating strapless strap-on by Tantus - review by llellsee

Packaging:

The Realdoe arrives in quite different packaging than the usual red and clear plastic box that I’m now used seeing Tantus toys in. Instead it arrives in flat plastic packaging with the Realdoe in the raised out moulded portion at the front and an insert with product information at the back.

One thing that I noticed the packaging mentioning is how this is ‘The world’s only strapless strap-on and multi-use toy for adults’, Now I don’t know whether that’s because this is made of medical grade silicone and therefore it’s not sold as a novelty as many similar toys are, but I know that I owned a very similar design years ago.

Other things mentioned on the packaging include, that it is 100% made in America and made with medical grade platinum silicone which is safe and hypoallergenic.







First Impression:

Seeing the Realdoe in person for the first time it appears quite lengthy. Its colour is quite a warm flesh tone which reminds me of the Tantus Pack ‘N’ Play range of toys or Tantus’ ‘Caramel’ colour option when buying their realistic toys.

The shaft of the Realdoe has a generous amount of length and is just on the slim side of average in terms of girth. The head of the toy is realistically shaped and the shaft features equally realistic veining.

To feel and squeeze, the silicone feels particularly firm which for me took away from some of its realism as a dildo, I can see why the ‘bulb’ portion of the toy may need to be firm but I would have liked to have Tantus’ dual density O2 silicone used for the shaft or even just a softer silicone overall.

At the base of the shaft you’ll find three raised ridges which look to have been placed there for clitoral stimulation of the wearer and between these and the bulb there are some small flattened testicles which house the Realdoes bullet vibrator.

The bulb of the toy feels firm but has a slim neck which is is quite a bit more flexible and maneuverable.


Measurements:

Total Length: 10 ½ Inches

Insertable Length of shaft: 6 Inches

Circumference of shaft: Up to 5 Inches

Insertable Length of Bulb: 3 Inches

Circumference of Bulb: 5 Inches


In Use:


Made of firm feeling silicone, the Realdoe may require some warm up beforehand. The bulb of the toy though is a nice modest size and well shaped for easy insertion. Basically it is the size and shape of a small egg. Just like a butt plug, it can inserted either anally or vaginally and depending on the strength of your kegel (or anal) muscles it hopefully stays put.

I found the bulb very easy to insert and despite my liking for larger toys it stayed well in place when just wearing it. The test then comes when trying to thrust with it while knowing there will be a certain amount of pull on the other end of the toy.

The shaft end of the toy with its firm build is something I would only recommend taking anally if you are experienced in anal play. When enjoyed vaginally its average size feels manageable but it’s the firmness that would make me warn inexperienced anal players to maybe opt for the ‘Realdoe Slim’ instead.

The shaft of the Realdoe has a firm but otherwise realistic feel with its ridged head and the realistic pattern of veining that adorns its full insertable length. When on the receiving end of it vaginally I found its length satisfyingly filling and my partner said the same after experiencing it anally. Half way along the length of the shaft it bends to a degree that some G-spot spot or prostate stimulation can be provided if angled right.



Getting back to the ‘bulb’, it is mostly comfortable for the ‘wearer’ though not hugely stimulating until you thrust rigorously. When thrusting vigorously you then run into the problem of it not staying put. To fix this the ‘Strapless Strap-on’ can actually be worn internally while also placed into a harness. We found that to be the most comfortable and enjoyable way of using it and it allowed for more vigorous thrusting and more stimulation for both the receiver and the wearer.

While it is sold as being strapless, wearing it internally while also in a harness it still holds its use as a strap-on which also stimulates the wearer or giver and for that reason I’m still a big fan of its design. Aswell as having the bulb for the giver to wear, it has a vibrating function. The included bullet vibrator slips into the balls of the toy just under the bulb and these vibrations stimulate the giver much more than the receiver.



...

While these vibrations are barely felt up the shaft of the toy, they do carry in the bulb and particularly at the clitoral ridges which provides some moderate clitoral stim during use.

Bullet:

Single Speed

Single push button

2 ¼ Inches long

Powered by 3 watch batteries


It’s not the quietest, sturdiest or most powerful of bullets either but the hole in the base of the Realdoe can easily accommodate other bullets so if you have a favourite you want to swap it out for this works.I’ve always found the bullets included with Tantus toys to be a letdown so I personally like to swap them for a different/multi-speed bullet instead.


Care:

Made of high-quality medical grade Silicone, the Tantus Realdoe 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 Realdoe.

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