Elements Theta - strap-on dildo by Tantus - review by Pleasure Piratess

USE / DESIGN / SHAPE

When it comes to versatility, this toy knows how to work the most of its sprouting tulip design. Suitable for ladies, gents, and couple's play, the 3 1/2 x 2 inch flared base is compatible with strap-on harnesses or safe for anal play. The 1" diameter bulbous-head that sits over the graduated curved neck will stimulate the g-spot or p-spot. You can even turn the toy backwards and let the elegant curved 5 1/2" insertable shaft stimulate the g-spot while the head slides in deeper for extra stimulation. While not big enough for a "filling" experience, Theta works its curves to stimulate your erogenous zones so you won't miss the extra size. Whether you are new to toys or a connoisseur, she is as pleasing to the nether bits as she is to the eye.


MATERIAL/ TEXTURE

Theta is made of non-porous, 100% medical-grade silicone and is completely hypoallergenic. Straight out of the package it had no taste, no smell, and felt satin soft when I ran my fingers across the beautiful curves. The entire toy is very flexible. I can actually bend the tip down to touch the base, and it has a moderate amount of give when squeezing, but is still firm enough to insert easily. The only texture to be found on Theta is a very small triangle of ribbing located on the top of the base that massages your clit when you make small rocking motions against it.


FUNCTIONS / PERFORMANCE / CONTROLS

Elements Theta vibrates via a small one-speed bullet inserted into the base of the shaft. The bullet produces a mild high-frequency buzz that is felt lightly at the base and faintly at the head. Even when I place it on my nose, I can barely feel the vibes from the tip. The bullet is easily controlled with a push-button that turns the unit on and off. Although I did not use this toy in a harness, I am concerned that the location of the button would push against the wearer turning the bullet on and off with each thrust. This and the low level intensity of the vibrations leads me to suggest pairing this toy with a stronger bullet, unless you are very sensitive to vibrations.

This toy is stunning, but not discreet in appearance. It clearly looks like a dildo, although it is small enough to be tucked away in a toy pouch for storage or for travel in a purse or suitcase. There is not a button-lock, so be sure to remove the bullet to prevent accidental powering. And fortunately for those who have thin walls and roommates, this is one very quite toy, barely discernable through the covers, especially with a fan on. However, as this is based on the bullet that comes with the toy, remember that if you upgrade your bullet it may be a bit louder. Although the silicone does tend to muffle the sound a bit. Furthermore, simply removing the bullet, or replacing with a water-proof one means you have just added half a dozen new places to use this toy.

CARE AND MAINTANIENCE

If there is an easier toy to care for, I can hardly imagine! Theta is compatible with water-based lube (avoid silicone as it may melt your toy) and washes easily with mild soap and warm water or toy cleaner. To sterilize (recommended if sharing between partners or orifices) simply remove the bullet from Theta and you can dip in a mixture of 10% bleach solution, boil, or even put her in the dishwasher. She does collect a small amount of lint, so I recommend storing her in a toy pouch. Be sure to add one to your order as one is not included.

PACKAGING

Theta arrived in a clear plastic box with black letter instructions on the sides, leaving the exquisite pearlized toy open to view and advertise itself. There were only two items in the package, the Theta herself, and a small bullet with pre-inserted watch batteries. Very simple. And while it might not be suitable for storage, it would make a cute gift either covered with wrapping paper or simply left out to view with nothing but a bow on top.

I still like my Theta, but I don't tend to use her for g-spotting anymore. Don't get me wrong, she still hits the spot, but I have other toys that just do it better. I tend to like a lot of pressure and you really can't get that too much with Theta. Though I might prefer her when I am really planning to spoil myself and take my time. However... she is the best back door buddy. I find that the vibrations stimulate more effectively this way and the size is easy to handle. Her flared-base makes it safe, and the material can be sanitized. Two great uses for the price of one!
