Vamp - realistic strap-on dildo discontinued by Tantus - review by Waterfall

The Vamp is a semi-realistic, harness compatible,silicone dildo that has many uses and SPARKLES under the right light! The size and shape feel great when used for shallow or more aggressive thrusting while the pronounced ridge under the head can be angled in a way to provide g-spot stimulation for some users. The size is not very intimidating so most beginners, as well as advanced users, should be have no problem using this dildo. The Vamp has a flared base, so it can be used anally, however due to its size I would recommend it for advanced users.

This is my first silicone dildo and as soon as I took this out I was amazed at how it felt in my hands! The first thing that went through my mind is "I can't wait to feel this inside of me!" It has a fair amount of give to it that makes it comfortable to use (and fun to squeeze!) , but also has a nice firmness that makes insertion easy. The silicone that the Vamp is made from is very shiny and slick and not matte. There was no smell or taste when I took the Vamp out for the first time since it is made out of 100% premium silicone.

The vamp looks pretty realistic with a normal phallic shape and a realistic head with a pronounced ridge. There is even a slight bit of texture in the form of raised veins that run down the shaft. After playing with this, I would say that the veining on the shaft is barely felt and should not cause problems for those who do not enjoy texture. However, if you are someone who does not enjoy ridges on the heads of dildos, because they can catch on the pubic bone, then you might find the Vamp uncomfortable during play.

The Vamp is realistic in appearance and measures 6 3/4 inches in length with 6 1/4 inches insertable. It has a diameter of 1 1/2 inches and a 5 inch circumference, so it is not too large for a beginner but at the same time this size can also be enjoyed by a more advanced user. The head of this toy is the largest part, so the girth is a little more manageable after this part is inserted.
The shaft is straight and has veins that may provide extra stimulation for some, but I didn't seem to notice them too much. One of my favorite aspects of the Vamp is his head and the exagerrated ridge! Although some may find this uncomfortable if it catches on their pubic bone, I find it to be great of g-spot stimulation.

The Vamp works really well for thrusting, and for me it also worked really well for g-spot stimulation. The firmness and slickness of this toy makes insertion very easy while the nice amount of give that the Vamp has makes use very comfortable. It is easy to get the Vamp to work with your body shape during use.
I do not own a harness, so I do not know how well it works when used in one. Also, as I am, very much, a beginner to anal play, I have not had the opportunity to test the Vamp in this area.

With silicone toys, it is best to stick to water based lubricants as silicone can cause bad reactions with the material and ruin your toy!

Since the Vamp is made from 100% premium quality silicone, he is very easy to care for. To clean you can wash him in warm water with anti-bacterial soap, use toy cleaner, or run him through the dishwasher. Silicone can also be sterilized by boiling or wiping it down with a 10% bleach solution.

I store my Vamp in a satin pouch that I have because he is a LINT MAGNET! So I would also suggest cleaning him both before and after use to ensure that he is clean for play.

The Vamp comes packaged in Tantus packaging. It is a clear plastic box that has a little information about Tantus and their silicone toys. Inside the box is a plastic insert that is fitted around the toy. I do not use this for storage because it is not very discreet, but some people may want to store their Vamp in the original packaging if privacy is not an issue.
If giving as a gift that needs to be discreet, I would suggest putting it inside a box that does not disclose so much about what is inside.

I did not buy the Vamp because I like Twilight or vampires, it just looked like a great dildo and I must say that I am happy with my purchase. In my opinion the Vamp works well as an all around dildo. It can be used for thrusting ( shallow and gentle or more intense), g-spot stimulation ( for most, depending on your body shape), and it can also be used as an anal toy for more advanced users. If you are looking for a dildo to satisfy the above needs then I highly recommend the Vamp!
The only thing that would make this toy perfect in my opinion, is if the harness compatible base also functioned as a suction cup base.

As this was my first silicone toy, I didn't know what to expect the first time I used it. After a little bit of warm up, I was able to easily insert and begin to thrust with the Vamp. I was not expecting to get such nice g-spot stimulation from the ridge under the head(in fact I was a little nervous about the ridge). The flexibility and give of this toy made it so that as I slid it in and out, I could also run some of the shaft along my clit for added stimulation. Upon orgasm, the soft but firm feel of the material, feels so nice to contract on.
