O2 Adam - realistic dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by Nothere

Wow, wow, wow. The Tantus O2 Adam feels amazing, inside and out!It's a beautiful piece of silicone crafted by Tantus. He's my first realistic dildo. I own the Tantus VIP, and while the VIP's shape is definitely realistic, it's texture is not. I was itching to buy a duel density, realistic dildo and I couldn't decide between Vixskin and O2. I read that O2 is firmer (I like em firm), so I went with the O2. I went with the Adam rather than the Mark because of his curve. Adam's curve didn't do anything for my g spot, but he was still wonderful.

Packaging

Tantus's packaging is unremarkable at best, cheap and flimsy at worst. It does it's job, it provides a safe house for the toy and shows off the toy weel, but nothing more. It is wonderfully professional--no random naked women, but it is not designed for storage. Adam is housed in a clear, plastic clamshell in a clear, thin plastic box (if you can even call it a box--it's quite flimsy). After opening and closing the box a few times, the box starts to deteriorate. The packaging is simple and professional, but for the price, I'd like a bit more. However, the packaging is just the packaging. It's nothing that will detract from my opinion of the dildo.

Material/Design

I decided to combine Material and Design, because the material and the design are so closely related, especially for the Adam. I'll start with the material. Adam is crafted from, what Tantus calls "ultra premium platinum silicone". I'm not sure what, exactly, is so special. All I know is that the silicone feels amazing! Adam's completely odorless, tasteless, and body safe. He is phthalate free and 100% body safe. You can use Adam with water based lubes only. Don't use silicone! He's easy to clean up after. Just use soap and water or a bit of toy cleaner or a toy wipe. Be aware that he is a bit of a lint magnet. You can't blame him though, he's just that attractive!

My Adam came in the Cocoa/Caramel color. It says Cocoa on the box, but Caramel on Eden. Really though, he's caramel, a lovely, rich sweet caramel...I just want to bite him... Ahem.

I'll tell you about the basic design before blending the O2 Material with the Design. Actually, let's let Adam speak for himself:



As you can see, he has a slight curve. That's the big thing that differentiates him from his brother Mark. The other difference is, he's bigger. He's 5.25 of 5 1/4 inches in circumference and about 1 5/8 in. in diameter which is 1.625 in. He's a wee bit thinner than the Tantus VIP, which is 1 3/4 in. 1.75 in. in diameter. He's about human average girth. He is about 7 in. in total length, 6.5 of that insertable. So, really in terms of size, he's very realistic. Mark is smaller, being 1 3/8 in. 1.375 in. in diameter and only 6.25 6 1/4 in. in length (5 1/2 in. insertable). The curve is really only apparent when he is standing up. If he's held sideways, the curve falls out straight and becomes negligible.



Now, what makes the O2 Adam unique is its duel density silicone. Overall, the Adam is soft, yet firm. It can be bent without too much effort, but keeps its shape quite well.



However, it's squishiness and softness depends really on which portion of the toy you're feeling. The head is shiny and is completely squishy.



There is no inner layer to the head, it's just pure squishy silicone. The duel density part is the shaft. It's basically a firm silicone covered with a soft, skin like silicone. The outer silicone feels much like cyberskin, just with a bit more drag. Think of the romance novels with its "silk and steel" (Lisa Kleypas's Because Your Mine, 187)and its "hard silken flesh" (Gaelen Foley's Devil Takes a Bride, 141)The outer layer has a little drag, but feels silky smooth and soft. The inside is the 'steel'. The silicone there is rigid and hard.

The inner curve of the dildo is actually different than the outer curve. The soft outer layer on the inner curve is thiner, making the inside curve feel harer. The outer curve has a thicker layer of silicone, making it feel softer and squishier. The dildo is truly masterfully crafted. The corona is raised and you can see the glans and a dot simulating the urethral opening. The veins are not overly realistic, but are thick and raised. It's not as life like as some cyberskin dildos, but it feels and looks very real.

The dildo performs very well. Unlike other silicone dildos, Adam does not feel like a foreign, man made substance. The silicone mimics the feeling of skin quite well. The size also feels quite realistic. He's probably not big enough for size queens looking for a girthy dildo, but will satisfy someone looking for a more realistically sized one. For those who are wary of girth, this would still be a good choice for you. The softness of the silicone makes Adam feel less girthy than he actually is. His girth is easier to take than a harder silicone dildo.

The g spot curve didn't work for my g spot. I personally need really firm, curved toys for g spotting. Unfortunately, Adam is neither. The curve is minimal during use and won't hit finicky g spots. However, the curve feels very natural and pleasant when inserted.

You can even practice deep throating and other oral techniques with him!
